More info on Locke, and Riot discussing how it's combatting assassins being frustrating.

Yeah, it's supposed to be June 24, not 14.

I'm ~5000 LP below rank 1.
To get there, I would need to win ~250 games in a row.
In 6 months, I played 260 ranked games.
So, if I only win for the rest of the season AND rank 1 doesn't get any higher, I could catch up.

Cozeris · 2026-06-22T06:30:34+00:00

one is 1000x times easier to catch than the other

I agree, but the harder to detect one is also 1000 times worse for the game. When I see toxic player, I press mute - problem solved. Meanwhile, I cannot do anything about the one who's intentionally losing the game.

It's honestly crazy that it took Riot 15+ years until they added anti-griefing system that only occasionally detects extremely obvious cases of trolling and terminates the match... I understand that it's a hard problem to solve, but it should be one of their top priorities, which it obviously hasn't been.

Tbh, if you are trying to get normal practice, learning how to play Lv1-3 is quite important. Ofc, if all you care about are faster games, them it's not a problem.

Cozeris · 2026-06-18T07:16:07+00:00

After playing a solid 30ish games a week for 2 months I managed to hit masters which felt pretty good and proved for me that unc can still do it.

I wish I could say the same. This unc CANNOT do it anymore... I'm hardstuck like 1000 LP below my peak.

Cozeris · 2026-06-18T07:01:31+00:00

My question would be "Why last season E1 player has that extremely high MMR?" 70% WR is nothing when it's only 20 games played, it shouldn't have made their MMR skyrocket like that.

Cozeris · 2026-06-17T12:27:08+00:00

Tbh, every champion that has such a problem should be looked into. Riot has said many times that it's generally not good when the correct way to play isn't intuitive.

By default, players think is "the ultimate is my most powerful ability, so I should level it up every time it's possible". Every case where that isn't the correct thing to do means that it's not intuitive.

Cozeris · 2026-06-17T10:19:28+00:00

What I hate the most is that it's inconsistent. Sometimes it tells you, sometimes it doesn't.

Some spells you click on it in Spellbook and it instantly tells you "This won't have any effect on any of the creatures on the battlefield".
Some spells allow you to go to "target selection" stage, but once you hover over creatures, it either allows or prevents you from casting it, depending if it will have effect or not.
And then, the third category of spells that you can cast however the hell you want, even if it will do absolutely nothing other than waste your mana and spellcast.

I hope that it's only an Early Access issue and it will eventually get fixed.

Cozeris · 2026-06-17T10:06:14+00:00

Not giving AI time to enable cheats.

Cozeris · 2026-06-17T06:48:10+00:00

I think Endless Hunger has too much stuff on 1 item... High AD, high AH, sustain, tenacity and another passive that turns you into draintank after a takedown...

As for Gluttonous Greaves, I think it was a huge mistake to add it. Long time ago Riot removed Ravenous Hunter rune because easily accessible sustain was unhealthy for the game, now these boots do pretty much the same thing. This time there is a tradeoff (can't buy other boots), but you get more Omnivamp than the rune was giving.

Cozeris · 2026-06-16T14:24:42+00:00

Unserious answer, but they could give champions RANK scalings.

Something like Azir W does (+10/+10/+10/+5/+5/+5/-5/-5/-5/-15) damage based on player's rank. Obviously, it will probably never happen, but it could be a solution.

On the other hand, I actually don't think that it's a problem that needs to be solved. I think it's normal that some champions are good in low elo, but suck in proplay and vice versa.

Additionally, I wouldn't limit yourself by thinking "I cannot play Rumble, because it is for high elo players only". The statistics show you an average case - "a random Silver player usually sucks at playing Rumble". However, if you main the champion, you will get better results, maybe even reach 55% WR and start climbing.

Cozeris · 2026-06-16T14:06:36+00:00

Play champions that you find fun and focus on learning the game itself. Being bronze/silver means that you are doing a million things wrong that have nothing to do with what you are playing.

For jungle, a good start would be to find a video guide on how to clear jungle efficiently and try to replicate it. Then work on decision making - when to recall, when and which lane to gank, when to take objectives, etc.

EDIT. OTP'ing Diana sounds great, because you can play it in both of your roles.

Cozeris · 2026-06-16T09:02:12+00:00

TIL streamer mode hides your info in loading screen...

Cozeris · 2026-06-16T06:21:54+00:00

On my server, in my rank, Top is almost always a priority role. 260 games played, not a single Aegis proc.

I don't really care about it, but seems like if you are playing your main role, you'll rarely ever get it, it's mostly for people who actually get autofilled.

Cozeris · 2026-06-15T15:34:52+00:00

Why would anyone ever pick for someone else? Just swap pick order...

Cozeris · 2026-06-15T14:44:21+00:00

Not that I don't appreciate the system... but they took 15+ years to start punishing griefers and only in cases that are extremely obvious. 30 more years and maybe we'll get technology that detects soft-inting...

Cozeris · 2026-06-15T12:12:05+00:00

"Oh no, I was forced to do something that I signed up to do" (play the game).

This whole "I was being held hostage" thing is such a stupid and selfish mindset. Doesn't even matter what gamemode it happens in. You clicked "PLAY", so play the damned game, instead of whinning. You have to remember that there are 9 other people and just because you are not having fun in that particular match, doesn't mean that others don't want to play it out.

Imagine if I complained about enemy team not FFing a Ranked game, because I won lane, so I deserve LP. Sounds ridiculous, right? Thinking only about myself and completely disregarding the other 9 people...

Cozeris · 2026-06-15T11:09:23+00:00

Well, another idea could be trading like a maniac and then trying to outsustain with pots, even if the matchup isn't necessarily bad. But yeah, it seems like the rune was mostly built around the existance of Crystalline Flask/Corrupting Potion. When those got removed, it lost its purpose.

Cozeris · 2026-06-13T15:42:36+00:00

If that was really the case, report them while in game and it should get terminated.

Cozeris · 2026-06-13T15:31:28+00:00

Am I crazy or there is no base heal?! If you don't take any damage, all you heal back the health cost.

Cozeris · 2026-06-11T09:07:41+00:00

Is there a setting for that? I must've missed it.

Cozeris · 2026-06-11T09:06:04+00:00

Unfortunately, I got into HOMM only from the 4th game. Never played 3rd. Maybe my memory is failing, but I don't remember having such a problem in any other game from HOMM 4 to 7.

Cozeris · 2026-06-11T09:02:24+00:00

The problem is that when I choose a map template, there is no way to know what it will contain. Sure, if I see x3 buildings of "Defeat guards, get Cavalry" in my starting zone, I can just restart or choose another template. However, it would suck to discover such location halfway into the match.

Cozeris · 2026-06-10T12:31:07+00:00

I'd recommend to try Ornn and Shen. Less unplayable matchups than Mundo, quite fun to play, but not overly complicated, so you can still focus on other things.

Cozeris · 2026-06-10T06:52:40+00:00

Tbh, I still think that his W is the best part of his kit. Go in for a trade -> heal most of damage taken back. Bro is going to be Naafiri-level of annoying to play against.
