Similar to how it's unethical to use a script to keep track of jungle timers but when Riot added jungle timers to the game it's no longer unethicalThere'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.- JasonWazza

Their motives are irrelevant. By adding jungle timers, Riot is saying "using jungle timers is an acceptable way to play the game".In post 1801, JasonWazza wrote:That is not why riot added timers at all.There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You're playing the "dodge bad teammates to play League" mini game, the interesting mechanic that players introduced by being dicks (or picking champs they're utter trash with, or a combination of both)) that requires you to wade through the bad players to actually be able to play on the ranked ladder. It's not no longer playing league when doing this is a prerequisite to playing league.In post 1798, Accountant wrote:Dodging is great if you want to climb, but then you aren't playing league of legends any more, you're playing the "dodge bad teammates" mini game
Also, the fact that Riot allows for at least 1 queue dodge with such a minimal loss means it's a legit and ethical strategy up until it inflicts punishments for doing it too much (the best analogue I can think of is the tilt mechanic in pinball).
On another topic, any help with that pvp.net patcher kernel not responding issue I brought up last page?
P-EDIT: So by adding a "X-time minimal loss dodge" to the game, Riot is saying that queue dodging in the short term is an acceptable way to play the game?
Thanks for defeating your own argument!

Then dodging is okay. I wasn't aware of those notesIn post 1805, Psyche wrote:What if I showed you the patch notes where Riot says dodging is a valid solo queue tactic.There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

I mean, Riot provides in-game voice comm through garena talk, so it's clear they approve.In post 1804, RayFrost wrote:So voice communication is also unethical then, accountant?There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

That's like saying littering is okay because you "only" get fined $100 to do it! Just the fact that Riot implements a timer would suggest they disapprove!!!In post 1806, Voidedmafia wrote:

Also, it's not a prerequisite to playing League. You can just play with those players.There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

I read the patch notes. That means queue dodging is ethical now, so I guess it's okay to start doing it.There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

AP Xin hasn't been viable, much less even worthwhile since pre-season 1, I think? Definitely pre-S2.In post 1815, Nosferatu wrote:my friend could probably climb out of bronze whenever he wants but refuses in favor of playing meme shit like fucking ap xin zhao

Um, I just wrested an account from the depths of bronze 5 all the way up to Silver 1 while carrying A LEGIT BRONZE 4 PLAYER all the way to silver 5 because I liked the cut of his jib. My brother from another mother, the flying french polynesian, limosine ridin' jet flyin' volibear supportin' genius that he is. It was a big fun time.In post 1820, Nosferatu wrote:

And I do this every year. I take a hiatus after the reset, I get my 2 main accounts to gold for rewards while duoing with my best buddie, the toxic one, the fucking curse of montezuma himself, dan "the bitz" bitz. Then I spend the rest of the 9 months or whatever boosting every angry bronze player I know that "belongs in silver" all the way from the bottom of the bottom to the middle of the pack just to embrace the hilarious anger of their trip back to bronze 1 in which I quickly rectify the situation then tell them not to play ranked until next year. So, I basically play bronze games 9 months out of the year. I am the foremost professional at getting out of bronze. If you can't hamfist your way through bronze, you suck. That's just the bottom line man.Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich.- Accountant

ok, is the objective of when ur playing league of legends to accumulate lp, or to play a video game?
u will absolutely end up wherever ur skill lies, regardless of what methods you use. grinding games and playing odds is not fun guys, just go play poker if u want a math rush
