Welcome to the new thread, zorro will be your host today, its pretty chill in here now.

I was in the beta but it must have been late because it was called League of Legends then.

BATTLE OF GODS

S6 Ranks are locked. Let me know if you need yours edited in.

I ended this season as Bronze I. Didn't get the message to self-edit in time unfortunately.

exactly
so he needs to go onto Riot Forums and fight Phreak in order to regain his honour and connection

This.

Anyone want to stupidly play ranked with a bronzie like me?

[tn5421]

So legit question, how hard is it in America/Europe to get a second phone number?

Because in Australia it's relatively easy, and i don't think Riot are getting access to the names behind the numbers.

It's about as easy here as it is in australia. Just go to the store and buy a prepaid phone.

[tn5421]

you can literally just use textplus and its free to get a phone number

Good games, even if I didn't play well.

And I didn't know it was quite that easy. No wonder csgo queues are still bad.

irelia can still easily 1v1 you even if she dies if you don't crush her.
and try being an adc once she starts roaming with two items.

It's not fun unless you get advanced warning. If she catches you and you don't crush her, you're done as ADC.

[tn5421]

even with advanced warning though she zones you really fucking hard, and at low elo you dont have good enough positioning as a team to peel and let the adc burst her.

Just having that 5 seconds of extra warning stops it from being a near-guaranteed kill in a lot of cases, though. You're absolutely right that you still get zoned out in a general sense, though.

Edit: DISCLAIMER, I'm a bronzie.

5 seconds!?

Typical botlane situation, you're on purple side and ward tribrush. You see Irelia run through tribrush to river. It's bronze so everyone is bad (which is why i said 5 seconds and then edited to specify that I'm bronze) I recognize that such an event should actually only give good players maybe 3 seconds of prior notice, but that is enough for a higher skilled player to prepare themselves.

[tn5421]

In the theoretical example I gave, the ADC is almost exactly in the middle and the support is within casting distance in lane, towards the blue side, but not in a bush. The enemy adc/support fall back a little bit, trying to entice you to push their tower, and you start to do so, but then you notice the irelia on your minimap (totally unrealistic for bronze, maybe, but i usually notice, even if i don't always know how to react). The 3 seconds is generally enough time to run to almost within your tower's range so long as you didn't push tower. If you pushed tower, the warning is enough to use movement abilities / selectively place antimovement abilities to make the gank riskier for the enemy.

I wish I could diagram because this type of thing is my jam.

Typically, in bronze you have somewhere between a second and 1.5 seconds warning from when irelia jumps from brush to when the stun ability is cast, and if you're caught off guard you're significantly more likely to be stunned, both metaphorically and in reality.

I've been aggressively working on my vision awareness since you pointed it out to me, but I'm still kind of bad and prone to getting caught up in the moment/making bad snap decisions that don't include all the available information.

Edit: I forgot to make this clear. You either back up when you notice dragon get taken (5 second warning) or when you see her via brush/tribrush wards (1-3 second warning for purp side brush, depending on ward location, or 3 second warning for tribrush approach)

The good old days.
