League Of Legends

grats bud. You're MMR must be pretty high. Looking at your past 10 games you lost 3 in a row then won 1 and instantly got back to promotion series. Challenger inc?

Grats on diamond!

Kudos to you, it's impressive.

You're my LOL hero. I aspire to be just like you whatsa. Except for the bulldog fuckery and whatnot.

I was actually just about to ask if anyone else on these forums was diamond besides me. There's my answer! Nice job~!

Good sale this week. Shen, khazix and the best malphite skin.

Quinn is really fun adc and a decent counter to vayne kill lanes. Just played her for the first time and think ill buy her. With a leonna her burst is ridiculous. She has decent disengage and great split push. I also love the walking ward thing. Her and twitch are now my go to adcs.

I initially had some HORRIBLE luck shortly after quinns release that had me very negative about her. Lately I have been getting her in ARAM and honestly once you get used to her she is pretty decent. She is hella great for chasing down stragglers trying to escape out of a lost team fight turn on turbo bird mode and hit her vision thing and you cannot run from her and you cannot hide.

Actually, I was "clamped" right away when I got to plat 1. In Plat 5-2, it wasn't uncommon for my wins to be ~25 and my losses to be ~18 or vice versa depending on the current streak I was riding. My first win in Plat 1 was 3 points. If I recall, I rifled off a winning streak and my wins got as high as 11 points. But here's the weird part: I bet my median loss was 4 points, and I had several losses that were 3. I had a 4-game losing streak on Saturday where the 4th loss was -7 points, and that was my largest deduction in plat 1. There were several times when I had a 10 point win followed by a 3 point loss. So my winnings were "clamped", but altogether the system was definitely pushing me towards promotion and doing so rather aggressively.

It did clamp me further as I approached 100 points. At ~80 points in, I started to get 4-7 points a win. At 96 points I had a 2 point win to put me at 98. Then I lost the 3 games in a row you mentioned, each for 3 points, to put me at 89. My next win put me into series.

I don't like the lack of transparency on this clamping thing at all. Like I said, ultimately it helped me *a lot* because my winnings were sometimes 3x+ my losses. But I climbed from Silver 1 to Diamond 5 in a shit load of games, and the system still has no confidence? I just don't see the harm in being more transparent.

I don't feel compelled to push further at all. I might try dota again (thought it was pretty bad first go round, honestly, but watching the International was fun). I liked the FF14 beta a lot so I'll try probably waste time on that.

Anyway, Thanks for the props, Brochachos.

What is the max LP you can get per win, 33/34ish? I just started doing some ranked games, since I've been able to play a little more consistently, and I've gone like 7-2 duoing with a friend. I went from bronze III to bronze I in 4 wins (including 2 for promo) then did another in bronze I and got 34 LP for that one as well. I'm trying to get a rough idea how high my hidden MMR probably is. When me and my buddy duo, we're always bottom two on pick order, which used to suggest you were lowest rank/elo, but had a high MMR. He's silver 3 right now, btw. He was silver 5 before we started duoing.

If 34 is the max, it would confirm my suspicion my MMR is somewhere between mid silver to low gold, as I'm normally playing with people in those tiers even in normals. I just need to keep doing ranked until we aren't winning practically every game and see where I land.

p.s. I had bad luck in my placement matches, went either 1-4 or 2-3 due to some bad luck in a couple (can't remember exact record, been awhile). Which is why I think I was even in bronze 3 to begin.

Actual number gain I've seen is capped at 34, but I've had it several times take me from fresh in a league (0 LP) right in to a promo series with a single win. I decayed down to like bronze 3 this season and my first win instantly a promo series, and the win from that was back to silver 4.

I've had gains up to 39, it's not capped at 34 I know for sure. At one point in Plat 3 i went, +37 LP, +39 LP (76), +?? (Promo).

NA Serverswere recently compromised.

So I think I hit League of Legends Zen. I just won a game with no afks, that lasted roughly 25 mins with a score of 0/0/0. Got eight towers to my solo credit and roughly 120 farm more then the next closest person though. Split push pheonix udyr is a bit scary.

Friday and Sunday I went 10/11, yesterday and today I've gone 1/10

Last game I had a soraka that just spammed q every chance mana was available
