Teemo is fun.

So I play him.
This is a wonderful attitude to have, I hope you can maintain it over time.
He is only level 4. We will break him.
if I know myself I will probably quit in like 2 months

There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

More importantly the system will eventually place you where you'll win roughly only half your games. Unless you play bots.

the only game I have "continually" played for 5 years is minecraft. I will stop playing league of legends, just like lots of other games. I like experimentation.

Funnily enough I'm still 'climbing' in normal draft.
I currently have ~1200 wins and ~1040 losses. (Been playing since season 2ish)

So I just won a ranked game where my ADC tristana had 3.1k damage to champions, which was 2.6x lower than either of the supports in the game. Curious, I looked at this guys past games. Despite playing nidalee jungle and graves jungle/top for the previous 5 games, he managed to out damage his support only
twice
and even in those he did the lowest amount of damage to champions.

But the thing is... he won every single one. And so far as I can tell he wasn't duoing or anything.

There is more to the game than dealing damage. I've had games where I've carried as adc by kiting for long enough for my team to kill them whilst they focus me. Although that probs isn't it

Clearly there is. But 3.1k damage in a game as ADC? It's not like we lane swapped or anything either.

Yeah with tristana i'd assume towers is what has happened.

I know that i pick up tristana a decent amount of the time i get ADC, and i rarely do jack shit in teamfights (i also do jackshit in teamfights on all the other ADC's i pick though).
Returning win rate: 4/1, 80%
In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.

She had a 58.25% winrate due to the buffs.

Yeah. She was kind of ridiculous. When she even has the highest win rate in Diamond, there's probably something wrong.

oh hey! It's the major rework they like to do in the summer for some reason. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en ... ame-update

Admittedly, this is at least responsive to problems in the game rather than just sticking a new mordekaiser in for ???? reasons.
