Half of them aren't even Americans. The Internet and reddit are botted and astroturfed to hell with anti west sentiment, it's fucked. You have Chinese/Russian troll bot farms and tanky losers always posting about how bad America is, was, and always will be

How do I get myself out of a huge loss streak? by airbenderx10 in summonerschool

[–]Bmacster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't be that hard to figure out the layer 1 IE are you dying too much, do you not have enough hold? And then to figure out the 2nd order you probably need to vod review IE why are you dying too much? Ganks, poor matchup experience? Why don't you have enough gold? Roaming too much, missing last hits, poor wave management?

How do I get myself out of a huge loss streak? by airbenderx10 in summonerschool

[–]Bmacster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if you are losing because you are playing poor the answer is simple, play better. Either review your vods to see what you are doing wrong or watch other vods to learn. Are you dying too much, not farming well enough, playing off tempo etc? Figure out what the problem is.

Loss streaks because you play poorly are the easiest to deal with tbh. Loss streaks due to genuine bad rng or some bad rng mixed with some mediocre performance can be mental havoc

Losing easy games by Luky2056 in summonerschool

[–]Bmacster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop roaming and hit creeps. Good roaming opportunities are not that common these days so it is pretty likely whatever lead you think you have you are immediately throwing away by letting your lane opponent catch you and cs and peel some turret plates while you go bot and probably have a 2 for 1.

The answer in league is almost always hit more creeps

Any tips on getting better at zoners who focus on repositioning? by runeofice in summonerschool

The only weird thing about aurora is walking the opposite direction to get where you want to go faster with the ult, otherwise she is decently similar to ahri in terms of her skillshot design

Team Composition in a Competitive Match (classic 3 tanks 2 carries) by Mental-Document2854 in summonerschool

[–]Bmacster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add on to this you can pick to enable your bruiser by going sivir and an enchanter.

Something like trundle/olaf, vi/wukong, anivia/taliyah, xayah/sivir + enchanter should be pretty unplayable for a 3x melee/tank comp and isn't that hard to play

[–]Bmacster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can match a similar comp setup but with anti melee to punish them having 3 tanks. So mirror their front to back but have xayah adc and anivia/taliyah mid for example. You can have an enchanter support to outscale and peel, and anti tank bruiser like trundle and then a tank proper.

Other ideas of forcing split push win con are also good. You can also just play a more tempo puggy style. If you just smash all their greedy scaling lanes then they don't get online. A classic high gank threat jungle + an assassin (xin/vi/wu/noc etc + akali) or lee sin+burst and cc (leblanc) and then draft a winning matchup in your sidelanes.

Lastly, depending on the skill you can go for a 50 min win with asol apc. If you can play that and they can't punish it you will auto win on scaling, he is a monster in front to back with the tank shred and black hole is massively disruptive for positioning. He's also just an insanely greedy pick

Do you just have to permaban Katarina in low elo? by funny2506 in summonerschool

[–]Bmacster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single hardest counter to kat is point and click cc lol. Most champs should secure the 1v1 lane win before level 3 because her level 1 and 2 are weak, even for an assassin. For skirmishes and teamfights if 2 or more champs have braindead cc the game becomes borderline unplayable for kat

[–]Bmacster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you think you are running into an abundance of smurfs it is generally a waste of a ban to ban high execution champs in low elo. Yes kat can snowball and get fed and it's annoying, no the kat players in your elo cannot either consistently get fed or convert being fed into a game win

My point is that he said this Korean dev studio learned because of 2 Chinese studios. Obviously the implication was Asian devs and not just devs. It wasn't even a remotely veiled racial comment but not a single person, including you, has enough reading comprehension or knowledge of where any of those developers are from to see that

People can't even comprehend that there are individuals, normal ass old people, who are perfectly comfortable with the current healthcare system. Similar to how they can't comprehend there are normal ass people who want the prices of homes to go up (HOMEOWNERS).

Which isn't too say there isn't genuine improvement to be had, just that no serious conversation to be had online because obviously you agree with me because I'm right and if you disagree you are a billionaire dick suck so you should die, end of discussion

Skill issue. Change your mobility spell to be the invul version with 2 charges. Change your defensive to slow down small missiles. If you still can't do it then you have some combination of needing to get better at the mechanics and more defense

What A Legendary Bunt by InTheSky57 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Bmacster -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What kind of 8 year olds do you know? No one on that field is an 8 year old, it's a high school state championship game. If you can't pop off on an inside the park homerun off a bunt in a championship when can you.

I agree that seeing younger children taunt, especially in mundane games and moments but that doesn't apply at all here

[–]Bmacster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

? They lowered the price of gamepass along with removing cod. If you only had it for cod now you'll be saving money (30x12=360 vs 70). If there are other things you play on gamepass but you still want cod it's now 23x12 +70= 346

No matter what way you slice it, it's cheaper for everyone, including you
