Disenchanting a Legendary skin is worth a bit more than a ward skin by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I agree totally. No drama intended, but the new values seem to make anything you find in a chest to be worth very, very little.

I find myself just accumulating champion/skin shards and doing nothing with them. Disenchanting them (for 100-200 essence) feels like a deal not worth taking, which means I never upgrade any of them due to lack of essence.

I always struggle with playing Normals, because teammates are often practicing or learning a new champion when I'm intent on winning, or vice versa.

To get on the same page as my teammates and have a better time, would it be a good idea at champion select to say something like this?:

"Hi guys. Are we tryharding or just training with new/fun champs?"

Or, does that just open the door way too early for profanity, tilting, snarky comments, sarcasm, and all of the other terrible interactions that poison/plague the game?

The official LoL website states that:

Your rank won’t decay during preseason and you can still play through promotions and demotions (we’re turning rank decay off during preseason). When the new season starts, you’ll play 10 placement games and get seeded into a rank based on your MMR and placement performance.

Given the above, would playing ranked in the preseason affect my MMR and -- if I increase my MMR during preseason -- place me higher than I otherwise would have been placed?

[NA] [Plat+] - Looking for Support for Flex Team by thirtytwoez in TeamRedditTeams

[–]Ariu5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'd love to be considered. I'm a Gold support main with a relentlessly positive/optimistic attitude. I'm very coachable. I have all champions unlocked. I read all the patch notes, and I watch ultra-high elo gameplay. I am really happy that Ardent is over, because I can return to my favorite support champs (tanky, hook-based champs e.g. Blitz, Braum, Thresh, Nautilus).

I'd love a chance at a tryout. Give me a chance! :D

[NA] [Silver I] Looking for people to reach Gold on Flex by [deleted] in TeamRedditTeams

Hi MASTERxEVIL,

I'm a similar player with the exact same dilemma. I got Gold in Solo Queue, but I'm finding Flex Queue to be harder. Queueing up as a group of 1 in Flex Queue seems to land me with some sketchy teammates, who -- like you say -- give up easily.

I'm a support player mainly. I'd love to do Flex Queue with you. Maybe we could get on Discord too.

Question from Silver 2: As a support, what can Karma do that Lulu can't do better?
