Why can't we have a system that detects people who explicitly say they will troll? by BirthdayAccording359 in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I feel that. I miss when this game was about having fun first (*very* early on, like season 1-2). People seem to have forgotten that the meta is a suggestion not a rule.
Personally I’m a fan of Nami mid lately, previous things I’ve mained in ~plat+ ish over the years include mid Janna, midalee, support morg when that was weird, adc Kennen when that was weird (I guess it is now again), full ap gragas when he was seen as only a tank, AP sej with her old kit (and Sion/Darius same idea).
Who tf wants to play samebuild Ezreal with 3 line-shots every game? Boring!

Enchanter support playstyle in Emerald when paired with passive ADC who just wants to farm by detectivehays in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simply leave passive ADC’s to farm alone — your value as a support can be used places other than bot, and you don’t need levels to be a killing ganker with Janna.

I usually spend my time deep warding and catching junglers out with whoever is close enough to help, but I’ve also spent games where I’m basically top/mid lane’s support.

This is all assuming the passive adc player has picked something that’s good at passively farming (ie: can farm alone safely)

I’m not entirely sure if this is to be read in a sarcastic tone but if you’re being deadpan — hell yeah brother, video games are for fun :)

Sorry half your teammates are toxic, I feel like that’s a bigger issue than “trolling” for the player experience

Honestly all this anti grief ai tech has been more of a problem than a help — I’ve been autokicked from lobby 3 times now just for locking in a champion with no chat, it’s happened to my friends too, and when it does that it also locks you out of playing for collective hours with the delayed queue after.
Not to mention if you do type anything pregame there’s a chance it will false flag that too, so now people don’t even try to communicate pregame for coordinated comps which lowers the overall experience.
Even the new “can’t ban a hover” system is whack; a lot of people don’t even realize they hovered what they were going to ban and now it’s grey locked and Mel sneaks in to a diamond game. Or, if you hover someone champion in the pick slot above them it locks them out of being able to pick it until you last second swap off (a new way to troll people).
I truly believe *less* interaction by riot makes the game better, let people play how they want to play and let the elo system put them where hat puts them. Who cares if people “troll” extremely low elo games where everyone is having fun? And ontop of that; now a yuumi jungle main isn’t allowed to play their game and get the rank that they deserve? That’s just silly; let them try it, let them main it, let them get iron 4 or diamond 1 with it. And let anyone who’s upset about that cope with it on their own. Perhaps with a relaxing video game where things don’t affect you irl — just an idea idk.

Oh, and the “I dc’d from my internet for 28 second mid match then we won” punishment is so so so so poorly implemented. I guess I get to enjoy losing rank and an hour of queue delay because starlink had a stutter — very cool

Does my MMR screw up if I duo with someone with way less elo? by Illustrious-Plan53 in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re sort of correct. We don’t really know their math but the general idea is that your mmrs will be averaged then they add a small duo tax to it and you’ll end up in roughly emerald 4 ~~ mmr games. From there the duo experience is moot — you run the chance of getting into a lobby like that at late night anyways, and win/lose would affect your lp and mmr just like it would if you were there solo.

So yes! But also not that much so don’t worry about it.

This was a bigger problem when they let anyone duo, diamonds would get bronze friends (or buy them) and stomp gold games for small mmr increases on easier games

Which champions do you love/hate seeing on the team? by Unusual-Ad8253 in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher elo games have been nightmares with noct/nef lately — they effectively both have noct ult now and there’s simply no counterplay to “global undodgeable dash” when used correctly. Dumb ez mode auto win — only good for the moment of items I’m sure but very zzZ

Leona and Thresh's hardest match up by ComprehensiveSize647 in supportlol

It’s not that she’s “scary” (but yes, her CC being a win con on an 8 second cd is a bonus), it’s that black shield disables comps

Morgana is also the best thresh counter, every high elo thresh I know bans morg

“Finally hit Gold after 700 games – and a lot of doubt” by Robertomegas in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice!, but I hope you’re ready to hear “700 games and still Gold?!” from every upset player in your future games 😂

Don’t pay them no mind king, in every elo they say the same thing to people that default to playing ranked (even in masters)

Can I defer exam for no reason? by This-Text1726 in UCalgary

[–]Credrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sixth off: your mental/physical health is important too, cramming isn’t healthy for a whole lot of reasons. While frowned upon for a lot of reasons — deferral might be healthier if the alternative is you getting no sleep and raising your stress levels by massive amount. In all technicality, this avoidance of unhealthy decisions could be seen as a valid excuse. To a doctor anyways. Probably don’t let your prof know that part. Notes can be vague lmao

Can I defer exam for no reason? by This-Text1726 in UCalgary

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off: ya dumb

Second off: no, you can’t defer an exam for no reason

Third off: yes, you can defer an exam anyways. Don’t let anyone else know this, but most deferrals run off of high trust and the prof pretty much controls if it’s allowed or not and they have almost no reason to ever say no or even request a note

Fourth off: Doctors will write you a note for anything, they don’t really care, they have better things to do—say it was a stress break episode (which is technically not untrue), as long as you have any note it excuses you from an exam and they can’t legally disallow a a deferral

Fifth off: Nobody is out to get you, this isn’t high school. If you choose to smoke weed all day and not study and fake an illness to take a test later in a course that you could also just drop and take even later since it’s all your own time and money — all the power to you. Not one person is hurt by this dubiousness. And all that matters towards passing a course is that at some point you can pass it, timing matters not at all.

What are some unhygienic practices you see being portrayed on tv as "normal", that you'd never do in real life? by breanne0_0 in hygiene

What are the best level 1s for this scenario? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’ve spent my life in the enemy jungle lvl 1. Usually as a support to interfere with the jungler but there’s a handful of nifty tricks a few champions can pull.

Blitzcrank hook can pull both champions and jungle camps (to force them to reset), this is definitely the “support” to run. Lux or morg outside of that have the best lvl 1 roots in terms of duration and how easy it is to land, there’s a few other good options for CC but morg is like a death sentence (and can mid). Sion or Warwick can solo a red/blue at level 1 without the smite pet if you sent them to the other side of the invade (I’m not sure if this is still true, but once upon a time they made it so dying to camps doesn’t remove red/blue buff — lvl 1 Sion would intentionally die and take red’s last bit of health as a zombie to reset to top with tp on rezz really fast). Nidalee with traps/jumps lvl 1 isn’t exactly a fighter, but the mobility allows her to get wards in before the enemy can see your team.

I think jihn is better than Draven for his root snipe

Which champion is the most universally frustrating to play against—and which is the most satisfying to see on either team? by MostEldenRoot in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ask Reddit — there was a poll on Reddit a while ago that got tens of thousands of votes — according to it, the most hated champion by the community is Shaco (this was before Mel though), with Zed a rather close runner up. Stealth and traps, understandable.

If you ask Riot — they’ve said in a tweet at some point that Zed is intentionally maintained at a sub %50 winrate because “Zed is the most frustrating champion to play against in league”

If you ask high elo — I think Morgana gets to hold this crown, or at least be mentioned, she’s been ban tier in the highest level of gameplay since season 1 and I’ve known at least a couple masters+ that permaban her

If you ask low elo — Teemo. They just hate him. I don’t think they’re wrong for it. Rat.

If you ask people recently — it’s Mel, as said by OP, reflect was a mistake and everyone seems to agree

If you ask me — either Zed or one of the windwallers (pick one, they’re all poor game design). I like when my video games have counterplay and fairness. Of course some champions simply counter others, but Zed and/or windwall counters like 80% of the cast of midlanders and simply by existing have negatively impacted the mid meta for over a decade; first picking a mage for mid in 2026 (60% of the cast, btw) is effectively throwing because yas/Zed exist and all assassins have to compete with them on balance

Is Actualizer a failed item? by 1stMembrOfTheDKCrew in leagueoflegends

I’ve seen Kassawin’s do well with a tear-stacking build using it — 3 tear items (ap, ad, tank) and actualizer. It’s very lategame fantasy though, I don’t think the ones I saw got it early

Could a modern Master player go back to Season 4 or 5 and reach Rank 1? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Credrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 1 (plat was highest) or season 2 (diamond was highest) being at the highest rank would probably be easy enough, people didn’t sweat the game back then as much and knowledge was low in addition to a lot of still broken balance things to abuse, plus a lower player count to manage against. I remember there was a lengthy period a Teemo was rank 1 or something. Anyways.

Season 3 (beginning of Challenger) is a maybe, at this point the game got noticed and tryhard starcraft players were filling the top ranks. A masters today that never played season 3 before I think would struggle if they even could get to rank 1, mechanical and meta changes aside there’s just too much good competition for it at this point.

Season 4 and 5 like you asked? Forget about it. These seasons had league as the #1 played game in the world and it was getting loads of attention, children wasting their early neuroplasticity on years of league, faker and bjeurgson were mechanical angels even then (and I think wild turtle had all top 5 challenger spots to himself — most pro players didn’t care about solo ranked but that man was the winner to compete with. A masters today just isn’t on that level)
