    No, not really. While it helps for sure, as long as you arent doing something stupid like building AP on an ADC, mechanics and decision making are much more likely to help you win games.

    I love Nunu. I love him so much. I don't want him nerfed. It's gonna happen though.

    Yeah nothing makes me rage more then when my team squanders perfectly good opportunities to do dragon. Mid will gank bot with the jungler and completely force bot lane out or outright kill them and then everyone recalls.

    lost 2 games and down to 93

    Does LP start to accumulate way slower at higher levels? I got a Silver I promo, and I'm on a 9 game win streak, but all lp from my wins after Silver I have been like 4-7 lp.

    Same thing happened to me @ both of you guys. Once I reached 97, I went all the way down to 70. After that the LP gains went back to the usual 15-20. Someone said it has something to do with making sure you aren't just getting carried into the next league.

    there's league points and match making rating. The match making rating is basically there to match you against people you should be playing with and is kinda like the old elo system. So, say you got lucky and won your 10 promotion series and were placed into gold5, and the quickly realized that you are at the skill level of a silver and start losing...a lot. Your MMR will go to shit and you'll start being matched up against silvers and other golds that have shit MMR. As your LP is based on the division/tier of the people you are playing with/against you will start getting less points because you are beating silvers not golds. MMR is designed to put people where they should be. So if you go up and down in silver 1 like 8 times you will stop gaining and losing ~20 lp and start gaining/losing less (which keeps you in your league) if you go up and down enough you start getting 3-5 lp per win and loss and it makes it really fucking hard to get out of the league...What's annoying about this concept is that league is a team game, and if you have 4 people who are decent and one complete moron...you're basically fucked, and there are a lot of people who do shit like go adc because they dont want to support even though someone already picked adc making the lower leagues basically a crap shoot 50:50 shot of who gets the least amount of retard on their team it's called elo hell and it sucks if you get stuck there because of having a bad MMR.

    So 3 hours ago TSM announced a roster change would happen before MLG this weekend but didn't say what it was. Naturally, twitter blows up for the next two hours until Xspecial finally reveals the epic change is... Dyrus and Regi are swapping lanes. lol.

  14. #8174

    if there were any other good NA mids i'd say regi should let that mystery person be their mid, regi just isn't good enough as a player, doesn't matter where he is put

    I've gone from Bronze2 to almost silver 3 and gotten 20-30+ LP per win, and -10-15 per loss. Least I have gained yet was 15, and that happened once. I guess the game just thinks I'm way better than my rank?

    Pretty much, you have higher MMR than where you are. Once you've been in a certain spot for a long time your MMR averages to that area, and it's harder to climb out. It's also slightly more difficult to go from, say, Bronze I to Silver V than from Bronze II to Bronze I because, aside from elo decay, there's no way back from Silver to Bronze etc.

    Edit: as for your question from yesterday. Brut is usually better than Vamp Scepter on Panth. CDR+APen > 10 AD and some lifesteal.

    Also if you like Panth look into Talon or Wukong. Talon being as close as you can get to that "Assassin" feel. Wukong mid just has a surprising amount of burst at 6, even more at 11. His ult scales extremely well. And his decoy makes for some fun jukes.

    Is it just me or does Vileroze look like a 40 year old child molester?

    Just a bit. Anytime I see his "I'm married with a kid but I'm a professional League player!" video, I cringe. Which isn't to say that it's not a profession, if he makes enough to provide for his family power to him, but it's so awkward.
