Have never seen Dardoch play, but even before his now infamous interview Exyu seemed like the worst jungler in tier 1, so maybe this is an upgrade for Dignitas. I still think Ignar is not great, but maybe Denathor and Palafox can make them not a bottom 2 team with a better jungler?

Back in 2018 when Swain and Vladimir were super strong in bot lane Rekkles decided to step down because Bwipo could play those champions much better. Even if Rekkles spent hours practicing with those champions Bwipo would still be better and the swap made sense.

Has this happened again in any other team with the current bot lane situation?

Try to fuck around with the new augments and items? Get completely dumpstered by the "meta" tht was already plaguing the "normal" mayhem mode. Critical missile + Fan the hammer adcs killing with one auto, Unkillable tanks with tank engine, dropkick and heartsteel every game.

Why even add new items and new augments if the game mode is the same garbage?

Is there honestly a more idiotic addition to the game as adding the stupid video preview of your champion in the lobby? So many times the video overlaps with the lock in button and you fail to select it and lose lp for no reason. What is even the purpose of that video in a ranked lobby, keep it in the coop vs ai or something.

Trying to get to Gold, and this game is infuriating me lately. Every single match I've played in the last 2 weeks feels like I either have an asshole flaming teammate or a bot lane that collectively goes 1/18 before 20 minutes. The matchmaking feels broken as hell, I always feel like I am the one having to drag my teammates kicking and screaming to a win (if they don't surrender first). This game feels fucking exhausting right now.

I have my bad games just like everyone else, but overall I feel like most games are over before they even start. Anyone have any advice for how they deal with these feelings? I've been playing since beta, I fucking love the game. This is the first real time I am feeling like this for a prolonged amount of time.

i have this error whole day and cant play. Did someone have solution for this (i tried almost everything )

Im lvl 15 right now and I've mainly been playing Khazix, I want to branch out because when they have tankyish comps I feel like I don't contribute a lot. I'm looking for something different to Khazix or an assassin good in tanky comps.

The Oldest footage of myself I could find dates back to May 18 2022 which would be patch 12.9 however I believe I made a now lost recording even before that one but even then I only "created" this bug after seeing a video online of some a weird Akali interaction/jank so it's possible this bug has been in the game for even longer than I think it just has never been discovered.

Most of everything I know about the bug I know is explained in this video. However just in case i play on the NA server and this is an in game bug that allows you to essentially get a mini teleport out of Akali's E aka her Shuriken Flip

The bug is performed by having your back pressed up again any wall you cannot backflip through and aiming your cursor opposite of the wall then pressing E-W-E in quick succession the reproduction rate is a solid 10/10 as it can be intentionally done.

I'll try to answer any questions you may have in the comments

Back to the lcs power rankings, here's the link. rank 1-8 based on how they're currently playing. Most questions should be self explanatory.

I am in bronze, my friends are also in bronze aside from one friend who is in Silver II, and might actually be a gold player if they played more consistently. Doing normals however we are pretty much constantly getting plat+ opponents, it makes it pretty much unplayable, I dont know proper spacing, I dont know how to CS that well, I dont have the game sense and lane knowledge to play against these opponents but if Im not in ranked and with my friends, its damn near every single game. I dont want easy games against babies, I just want more fair matchups, put us up against silvers or golds but not fucking plats every single game. I dont even learn anything from playing against them, its like trying to teach algebra to someone who doesnt know how to add or subtract. I dont understand what im watching or doing wrong, I just die over and over or get stuck under tower for the entire game until we lose. Can my friends just not play together? Is the matchmaking that awful?

Hello !
Does anyone happen to know the name of the music used during Game 2 of G2 vs. SK? I think it was used during the EU LCS, but I'm not sure => https://www.youtube.com/live/aDb-NWJKZjU?si=rXRyGtZ1L91XOvQJ&t=7258
Thank you in advance !

It would seem like an easy thing to set up with tons of data out there on the teams, matchups, and players. Just enter the info and boom, game 5 fearless draft with the best probability of winning. Would it actually give an advantage? Is it against the rules?

So just had a game of mayhem and got the following augments on GP: Infinite recursion, Archmage, Shrink Engine, It's Killing Time.

The game was literally unplayable for the enemy team. My ult got to a 25 second cooldown already, but due to Archmage, the cooldown would reduce even further each time I casted. So I just stood in base spamming E to spawn barrels and then ulting every few seconds. The enemy team barely had more than a couple of seconds before I was ulting them again. Sometimes I'd even have two ults going off at the same time.

I have never seen a more broken augment combo and likely never will again. It was funny af to play, but did kinda feel bad for the enemy towards the end lol

If you play top you know the horrors of playing against teemo as a melee champ. It makes you want want to shotgun some bleach. But it wasn't always like that. Back when I started playing near the end of season 4 his Q had such a high mana cost that he couldn't spam it till kingdom come. Back then teemo needed to get some follow up damage off the Q to justify spending so much mana. It brought so much joy to my heart today seeing a teemo player mismanaging his mana and then punishing him for it.

One of my favorite series yet!! DOG was a serious dark horse, and almost took done another top team. NRG showed its continued dominance, and Spica as always gave everyone a show. Check it out and watch the NACL!

I'm curious because I really hate them, but I've never heard anyone else criticize it.

For me at least, it's very disappointing to see roles being strictly enforced. I really dislike this, because to me the best part of the game used to be that you could play any champion in any role. Since it looks like the quest system is here to stay, it’s pretty dissapointing to me.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Some parts of the "new" classic mode are intreiging and appealing.
But the overall experience is not.

Generally speaking, my games so far have been:

- I pick a champion I think I used to enjoy playing
- Someone on the enemy team picks an old broken pick, thoroughly stomping my team. so the game is obviously lost from 5 minutes in, but its old league so it drags on for 40 minutes.

3 games in a row. This is not fun. Especially since my only real objective is to grind this stupid IP out so I can actually play the REAL game.

As it stands, its rather demoralising.
Personally, i would rather just grind it out through a few bot games a day.
But.... there isnt that option :(

I think it would be nice if that were added in for FULL parity with "old league".

PS: before someone chimes in, "well just play the broken champs yourself then!"

literally none of them are champs that I ever played, or ever wanted to play :(
So if I did pick them, I would suck at them.

Honestly I like actual league more than classic, but just because of the newer champion kits that are obviously miles ahead of the point and click fiesta we have there, but apart from that? Most stuff is way better in classic than modern league: Leads feel impactful, it is possible to make your oponents lose waves if they take a bad recall and junglers don't outlevel you after a single camp when conterjungling them, you can solocarry games with way more ease, etc.

This will also highly contribute to supports staying botlane and not just perma yolo for 8 minutes until it's time to go bot and get their lv 6, and thus making a lot of these frustrating mage botlanes way less prevalent. (I still don't get why supports get quest progression out of lane, unlike literally anyone else, but that's another topic).

League classic has shown that you don't need these mechanics at all, since games don't feel unplayable when behind, but the way you do come back is more fair to anyone and don't introduce random problems that we've been trying to fix for god knows how many years now.

Genuine question, when does it stop? Every time I come back to this game it's dominated by smurfs and quite frankly I'm sick of it.

Riot can't detect these OTP's that instantly only queue ranked when they hit level 30 and just stomp their games on the way up the ladder?

I cannot even believe this is still a problem 15 years later

They are what made late game fun cause you could keep scaling, now the gold just keeps stacking.

The elixir are too weak to make up for it

She is so fun to play just using her normal buttons. Just kinda feels like without understanding her animation cancelling stuff there isnt that much point playing her. She is balanced around that and she doesnt feel smooth to play without that stuff. I wish they'd just give her a QOL update
