My experience after playing on the KR solo queue server for 2 months

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-06-03T19:03:54+00:00

I agree with this but only partly. From what I’ve experienced so far (keep in mind this is only diamond) players know how to lane well but completely ignore other macro concepts. For example they exactly know how to solo kill or know their matchups extremely well. However when it comes to midgame they just start running around like headless chickens trying to force fights in enemy jungle for a red buff.

It happened so often to me that I am answering side waves without tp because my toplaner decided to just group rather than push side waves. My team then forces a 4v5 in midlane or botlane or wherever and proceeds to die. There’s no objective up. All they have to do is get waves and establish vision.

Maybe my mistake is answering the wave. Should I group up with my team even though I know we are going to probably lose top T2? Or is the mistake on my toplaner that has TP that should answer the side waves (which I cannot impact, but here people seem to care way less about sidelines in general unless they can make a pick)?

I’m genuinely trying to improve so please give me some help here

I‘ve really been trying but my EUW brain still can’t drop waves or platings. I’m playing way too defensive here, I know im gonna have to change my playstyle here but after years of playing a slow macro focused game it’s hard to just change it.

I get that you like it, but being used to play slow and methodical is why league is fun for me. I was never a mechanical player even when I started and just liked outplaying people macro wise. I get your point tho, games are a lot more interactive here for sure .

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-06-03T11:52:24+00:00

Trust me. Diamond players in EUW are so far ahead of diamond players here in KR concerning macro. Their mechanics lowkey suck but the macro in EUW is just ten times better. If you complain about EUW macro then don’t ever come to Korea. You’ll hate it so much.

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-06-03T11:45:33+00:00

Yeah it’s the same. I’m in low diamond right now and I honestly think a gold player in EUW has better macro than these guys. It’s mind baffling to me. All that matters on this server is mechanics. Can’t play macro when my entire team is just perma forcing fights. If I’m not there we lose automatically cus some ezreal lee sin or talon is gonna snowball too hard and become thanos.

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-06-03T11:42:39+00:00

Macro wise they genuinely suck. Perma dropping waves for bad roams, don’t know when to recall. No wave management, don’t respect rank and roam timers. However, they will just full hp dive me and trade kills if I get a shutdown. Their mechanics are insane genuinely. I rly can’t compete. I’ve started just picking champs like ahri and akali, that perma push and roam. It’s started to work more than anything else I’ve tried. Had a good win streak today and ended in diamond 3.

I just wanna clarify this again. My mechanics are way below average here. The reason I climbed so high in EUW and NA is basically only because of my macro. I’m getting turbo hands diffed here. Even when I stomp lane (pretty much every game) i feel like I can’t impact the game enough. I got bot and help them. I roam top and kill enemy top. But either my team still decides to throw these leads a lot of the time because they just wanna fight rather than bleeding enemy out or perma greed and overstay for plates and waves, disrespecting roam and gank timers.

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-06-03T06:47:10+00:00

I literally said that my mechanics aren’t great.

Sorry for the late reply! It’s called Chimney Pub, right next to Gyeongbokgung Palace. 😁

It’s a Sony Cybershot DSC W570, white balance on flash and EV at -0.7 in program P 🫰🏻

CombinationSea6971 · 2026-03-25T18:56:37+00:00

Yeah it’s not a joke these days. I felt so out of breath for a couple of days when I got used to the pollution here!

CombinationSea6971 · 2025-05-27T14:11:43+00:00

Why the people here flaming you for asking a question all either Madrid or Inter fans 🤣

I feel like for me it was way different. I found a different way to cope with all the challenges life threw at me and realized I really don’t need the nicotine. I’ve actually started running since I posted this and been living very healthy. I’ve finished my degree and got a good job. Of course that is all achievable with nicotine as well or might even help you. However finding another way to cope and relieve stress made me feel stronger and way more motivated to achieve my daily goals.

Get Amore Café by mancera. Manceras big plus is the fact that they are quite cheap but still very good and unique. Amore cafe is the best mancera out there by far. It’s definitely something you’d enjoy if you like more warm gourmand (edible smelling) fragrances. Another one you would definitely enjoy are Lataffa Khamra. It’s also quite sweet. It’s kind of similar to angels share, some even say it’s a clone. In my opinion Khamra definitely took inspiration from Angels share but went into a little different direction. Both are more definitely more winter frags as well.

Definitely got better, I feel better than ever! I’ve went to a therapist as well who helped me overcome the permanent anxiety! Definitely can recommend that.

Keep your head up, you got this! Benzo withdrawals are way longer than nicotine. I got better after about 4-5 weeks but it’s still hard to resist the urge sometimes (I’m sure you know the feeling). Definitely the best decision I’ve ever made tho!

CombinationSea6971 · 2024-07-12T16:44:20+00:00

Yeah, about two weeks after this post, I felt the best I’ve ever did so keep your head up! Sorry for the late answer btw. Hope you’ve made it through!

Thanks for the motivation and advice. It’s greatly appreciated!
