Not that I'm disagreeing with your rage, but if your opponent leaves mid you either need to dominate the lane or follow them. Accomplishing little in your lane while the bottom fights 3v2 is poor play.
Wasn't really that, I know letting the guy roam is pretty bad on my own. Bot lane was constantly pushed, no wards other than my own in mid and they got ganked by jungle like 4 times, mid 2x and top lane 3x. They were the "feed off" lane.

The one constant I notice in all of these cases is that the people speak spanish.

Yeah I have long wanted them to make a separate spansih / portugese / other retarded SA languages servers so those players can infect their own games.

I tend to agree with guardian, it does seem as though if more than one person on my team speaks a Spanish derivative language I feel that my chances of winning go down. Not only that, but I don't know what the fuck they are saying, so it makes it much harder to communicate. I think also because they know there is a language barrier it makes them more likely to do just what ever they feel like.

On a side note I have been clawing my way out of the ever debate able elo hell, and am at 1350 right now looking to push into the 14's / 15's if anyone is close to there, Hit me up in game: Mythas. I play Top / ADC primarily with mid and support being my secondary roles. I flat out hate jungling.

Just type huehuehue and then you'll all be communicating just fine!
I type JAJAJAJAJAJAJ GOAAAAALLLLLLLL for maximum communication efficiency.

Can someone Photoshop a Mord standing in front of a Brazilian flag with some text that reads " JAJAJA I can has mid"

Honestly they need to do the bolded for a couple reasons, language barrier and ping.

I mean the blatant racism is a thing too but really is there anyone at riot who plays a game with the "huehuehue" bunch and DOESN'T say something that can be construed as racist?

I was in a game with a korean jungle and "hue" bot lane and literally watched the korean swear at the bot lane for 10 minutes. I was laughing SO hard through that game.

So Frost and Blaze both left the Azubu sponsor. Something to do with the new Azubu.tv and treatment of them. The team opted not to renew the contract (which expires in like 4 days) because of Azubu not willing to flex on some issues.

Azubu is certainly retarded for letting them go as Frost/Blaze are some of the better teams in League and certainly stand to lose a lot from this I would think.

I've been hovering in this elo range for the past month+ now. I had an impressive climb from 1k elo up to 1477 then I started teetering and have been in the 1300-1400 elo range. Prior to the update I ended pre-season at 1385 elo. I'm always up for some duo queue. I main adc but I am confortable with a couple champs for each role.

Can usually find me in the rerolled chat. IGN: so Ravishing

I am curious to see if the new league system leads to any semblance of a community since you are way likely going to be playing with the same pool of players until you or they get promoted. Ended up in Silver Division 2, btw.

Anyone else getting those little lag spikes/hiccups today still? It was happening the other night, saw it on voyboy's stream.. It's not as often, but I had a few today in a couple games at key times (miss a taunt on shen during a gank due to it.. miss an ult on sona when going for kills.. etc..). Just seeing if it's my internet or still some server issues.

Haven't had any issues so far in the games i've played regarding lag. Digging the new ranked system, about to get to my 'promotion' series of games (I think it's at 100 LP if i remember correctly), then i have to win a Bo5. Pretty cool

Yea, I think it was just my internet for a bit. Spikes of 200-300 ping when I'm normally 70.. or, that's what it said when i checked it a few seconds after, but it felt like a full second delay when it would happen.

I just came back to the game like two months ago, and only get to play 2-3 days a week.. but you know what's really cracking me up? One game I'll play, say... a support taric, in a ranked, and both my team and two on the other team will say how good of a job I did. enemy- 'nice saves taric, bout 10 kills that should have happened that you stopped, well played' ally - 'Taric mvp, holy crap' with a score of like 1/5/16 on a win... then a few games later I'll do the same damn thing, get a score of like 0/6/15 but we lost.. and I've got some idiot who's 6/2/2 telling me how all I'm doing is dying, I suck, I'm a noob for not leveling Q on Soraka support (lulz), etc... Nevermind I'm worth the equivalent of 3 minions at that point, and I tend to sacrifice myself to save someone like him. I just don't get the fixation with K/D score as the be all, end all of how your doing. It's like people don't even see assists.
I've always liked the idea that kill = 2pts, death = -1 pt, assist = 1 pt. If you go by that, I'm often the highest 'score' even on a support, and it's not a very accurate scoring system really.

It's sad, because I enjoy playing support or tank to be a team player, but so often you just get blamed for having a shitty score if your losing. A tank that goes 0/4/14 is doing an amazing job, but some dumbass carry will only see '0/4' and tell you how much of a noob you are when he's 7/5/1.

That is the one shitty thing about playing support, you have to be able to find reward in it even when you're almost never acknowledged for shit like warding in a great spot that gets the enemy team caught, sacrifice/cc plays that change fights etc. A lot of stuff gets unnoticed unless you make a mistake then people are all over you, happens all the time. I used to play a lot of support in season 2, and I got to gold that way. What's your rank at anyway? People in the lower brackets I tend to find are a lot more vocal with ignorant shit, there are assholes in every level but the higher i go the less chat that actually happens and people aren't as concerned about support deaths. /shrug

I haven't finished my placement matches. I was about 1300 before, but I was rusty as fuck. The mainp eople I used to play with before I quit, normals and scrims, were between 1500-1900 when I came back and I was one of the better players in that group. My game theory is probably in that 'elo' range, but my mechanics are like a 1300, which is why I'm great at support. I'm sure it's not as bad higher up, as good players notice what a support is doing more often.. but that's the ironic part. I'm best at support, but it's hardest to carry yourself out of lower levels as support. I have a RL buddy that mains AD that I duo with, but he's been a pussy about getting some ranked games in. Always has some little excuse ('had a lag spike last game', 'oh I had a couple beers', etc.. ). He's not super amazing, but at least we're getting on the same page when laning together. Tend to win lane a little bit, then win game if rest of team hasn't fed, but we rarely super dominate a lane.

I have maybe 3 good (and 2 average) mid champs, 3 good (and 1 average) top champs, and 2 good (1 average) junglers. My better top/junglers tend to get banned though (amumu, shen, malphite). Been trying to expand that so I can try and carry more to get myself up to the 1400+ range where I'd support more.

Not sure how I feel about the new system. The sheer amount of games you have to play to advance just looks staggering. If you're winning roughly 15 points per win and losing a bit less for a loss (sometimes this flips even), and we say you're the second coming of jesus at this game and win 60/65% of your matches you've got what, 300 games ahead of you to advance out of silver/gold/whatever? And that's assuming you win every placement match? And with a completely unrealistic winrate? I mean good god, if one were to place in to silver and try and grind out to high gold, or god forbid plat, you're probably looking at having to play over 1000 games.
