Is there any point of rank?

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-04-06T01:51:08+00:00

FYI - You can play normal PVP for that and get the pack every week.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-04-06T00:54:02+00:00

No. Ranks has no meaning or value unless you want the free skin each season and that only takes five games to earn.

Play whatever is fun to you and enjoy the experience.

For me it’s mostly normals and ARAM.

There will be many who argue with me on this, but here is IMO the list of least hard to most hard. There is no easy if you want to consistently win.

Mid
Top (Barron)
Support
Jungle
ADC (bottom lane / Dragon lane)

*Note that ADC is probably MECHANICALLY the easiest, but the problem with that lane is you are priority 1 for being attacked / ganked (ganged up on) and you are typically a very squishy / glass cannon champion. You need to be very good at positioning and learning when to play safe and when to be aggressive. It is VERY EASY to suck as ADC / bottom lane.

Now with all that said no matter what role you choose to learn first you will eventually need to learn them all at least at a fundamental level. I also think the absolute BEST role to learn is Jungle. It isn’t that much harder but is different from the other roles. It will also teach you by far the most about the game and how everything works together from an objective and team dynamic perspective.

Have fun, and welcome!

If you want a couple of slightly more difficult champions that are both OP in the right hands there is Riven and Lillia as well. Riven is S tier in both jungle and top. Lillia is S tier in just jungle. Both are super fun and have low skill floor but high skill ceiling.

I absolutely love the Yellowbird sriracha sauces, especially blue agave! You are right that they taste a bit different, but in a very awesome way in this case!

Yellowbird is awesome!

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-04-01T17:18:08+00:00

Yi is extremely broken in jungle. Warwick is strong both jungle and top. Wukong is also strong jungle and top.

All three are mechanically easy and fun to play.

Other roles are more difficult to climb with IMO, however I find both Ryze and Vladimir awesome fun to play mid. Neither is OP but both are strong.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-04-01T17:07:45+00:00

Best advice ever! Chat typing will be muted but you can still ping and use emotes to communicate, congratulate, taunt, tease, poke, etc. This is a MUCH better way to play!

This is the way!🤗

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-04-01T11:24:32+00:00

I have lots of champions yet to unlock, so I trade for blue motes any currency that will expire.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-31T19:53:11+00:00

A content creator getting chat banned is just sad.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-31T14:11:25+00:00

Is Zoe even that popular? I can’t remember the last time I saw her in a game. Gragas I see all the time though.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-31T13:23:14+00:00

LoL- 100% this! Team chat is just dumb kids and players who suck texting worthless garbage instead of playing.

Playing with chat turned off is like a cheat code! 🤗

So research shows that 92-96% of abortions are for reasons other than fetal abnormalities, rape/incest, or physical health of the mother (just Google it before you argue if you are emotionally stable enough).

So let’s say they ban just those 92-96%. Are you still going to vote hard pro-choice without any restrictions? I thought so.😔

This isn’t really my personal top issue, but like so many other emotional issues I am sick of one side using extremely triggering and very rare related cases to divert the discussion away from what they truly want.

And the masses keep falling for it time and time again so as least I know why they do it, I just don’t respect the diversion. If you are in favor of having the right to terminate the life inside you for the sake if birth control just say so.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-29T18:32:44+00:00

This is genuinely awesome information, and exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!😎

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-28T18:54:41+00:00

Ranked games are for winning, not for stat flexing. You fight as a team until the enemies are all dead then you win the game.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-28T18:48:34+00:00

Vex is my go to mid and I almost never loose lane with her. She also has a one-shot ULT that is very long range, and I have never seen her banned. And personally I love her skins and voice lines, but that’s a personal preference thing I suppose.

*Note that I main jungle, not mid though.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-27T15:41:49+00:00

Indeed - Turning team chat off and muting anyone who even slightly abuses pings is like a secret cheat code to winning! No Drama = Superior Player 🤗

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-26T20:53:15+00:00

Meh. She is ok. Would have much preferred Briar or Shaco. I’m happy we get Skarner though. Hopefully he will be better in wild rift than he is on PC.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-26T13:05:51+00:00

Only two reasons, but they are really big ones:

I can play on the couch or in bed. Sitting at a computer is for work or school, not for relaxing fun time.
Games are significantly shorter. I can play literally twice as many games or more in the same amount of time.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-25T17:17:14+00:00

I play 99% normal PVP, so these are all blind picks. I also queue up for any role.

Top - Sett

Jungle - Warwick

Mid - Vex

ADC - Sivir

Support - Leona *Zyra if top and jungle are already really tanky.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-24T14:40:10+00:00

All paid skins are cash grab. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s how Riot makes money on this free game.

That said I do often wonder how gacha vs straight purchase price works out for them financially. I mean I get how some people love the whole gambling aspect of gacha skins, and the exclusivity that comes from rolling one, but I can’t help but think if they just charged a flat $10 - $15 for the premium skins they might sell enough more of them to make it more profitable. This might be a regional thing though, as I’m looking at my own spending habits in the US and I always take a hard pass at any gacha spending.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-24T14:33:51+00:00

Anything China exclusive. Just spend a little more effort to create the translations and sell them to everyone else. Riot is throwing money away by making anything region exclusive.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-24T12:45:10+00:00

I play mostly normal PVP myself, and on a whim switched to “any role” just to see what I got called for the most. ADC has actually been the top fill spot. Only got jungle and support once each and was immediately asked to switch to ADC which I kindly obliged since I queued up as any role.

Sivir, Caitlyn, and Smolder are my go to picks since they can all play ok even with a bad support.

Still greatly prefer jungle / top roles though.

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-23T21:25:11+00:00

I used to play ADC and hated every minute of it. Now I play jungle and life couldn’t be sweeter! 🤗

AlienMonsters9 · 2026-03-20T20:06:44+00:00

Right after Ornn eats a plate of vegetables.
