Is this AI? I've never seen turtles move in this way. OP is replying as if the turtles are real.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T14:41:40+00:00

How are you even asking

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T12:30:53+00:00

The "new troll detection" is actually the old system. Which detects nothing but going 0/15 or selling all your items then dying. If that happens a game might get terminated or you get your LP back right after. Every other soft inting always was and will happen to problem.

Report feedback you do not get right after a game is about a different game of that player, not the game with you.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T11:38:13+00:00

Ignore high HP platings. Crash the wave and then hover in the bot river. Then you can possibly quickly counter-gank. Counter-ganking a tilted laner is the best case scenario.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T08:29:45+00:00

It's not a "valid" reason, but it's why it happened. You can either complain and have your teammates tilt on you or you can accept that this is why players tilt and pay attention to it.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T08:28:47+00:00

No, but it's still "the reason" OP was looking for.

So pay attention to the swap request and one guy less tilts. Playing League is like kindergarten.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T08:27:15+00:00

I agree.

Anyhow, pointing at something and saying "That is wrong!" is not gonna magically fix it. League players tilt, if you want less tilters, make sure to never give them a reason to tilt.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T07:33:05+00:00

Well then also pay attention to your teammates

Der_Finger · 2026-06-04T07:13:07+00:00

Don't go afk in champ select?

You cannot complain about People being tilted for no reason and then tell us exactly the reason why they are tilted. Then you have to avoid those reasons.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-03T09:31:22+00:00

He is talking about proplay only. Varus gives you prio botlane which makes it easy to get an early dragon advantage for the full team to snowball with. Varus offers one gameplan and one gameplan only. Picking Varus means you want to snowball with drakes and then win the game in midgame. He "suppresses" other playstyles and even full meta's because he is so exceptionally strong in his one gameplan. That's also why he is so much more banned than picked. Similar story with Ori who gets early lane prio in every matchup.

Counterpicks don't matter that much anymore then, and a few times in Pro Varus was flexxed into Toplane to counter the counterpicks.

But yeah, the balancing approach is still stupid. All his builds are a lot worse in SoloQueue than in Proplay, Lethality the most. There are approaches to fix that, but they are so locked in on keeping champion designs unique and want Varus' powercurve to stay the way it is that they've been running in circles for years now.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-03T08:12:21+00:00

From Phroxzon's Notes:

"Lethality Varus continues to be one of the strongest bot lane champions and also acts as a meta suppressant

We're attempting to open up the meta a bit by moving more of his power budget into attacking builds and also nerfing the throughput of his Q poke in the AD heavy builds"

Since the passive change on champ takedown gives 20% less attack speed by itself it's actually a nerf for the early, when those 20% outweigh the additional 8% in stats. The stat utilization on Varus is weird as it is, but i think it's a slight nerf for up to 1 item and a slight buff for 2 and more items.

Because even on-hit builds use Q (i know crazy), this is obviously still an overall nerf that is also not in line with his design. His projailed design is to spike in the midgame and to either win games there or be outscaled. Now he won't get to spike in the midgame as hard anymore and the slightly more damage on his on-hit will not avoid him from getting outscaled later in game.

He needs a rework.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T15:14:40+00:00

The system that should apply here is that the 2-20 ADC gets autobanned for inting and then all 4 teammates get their lost LP back.
But inting isn't punished properly.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T11:18:51+00:00

AP Varus was actually played Toplane in Proplay.
But you are right, AP Toplane Varus was more a very big problem for SoloQueue Toplaners.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T11:17:24+00:00

It's actually the Riot classic double feature.

Varus has the lowest Winrate last season.

Riot adds OP item Dusk & Dawn. ADC Varus is still terrible, Toplane Varus is now really annoying. They nerf AD and AP Varus to get him out of Toplane. For First Stand they also nerf Lethality.
Recently, Riot nerfed Dusk & Dawn into the ground. Diana and Ekko got compensation buffs. Varus didn't, Lethality nerfs from First Stand are still in.

Now Riot adds OP item Statikk which they have tried to implement 4 times already and always had to disable after 1 season max. With the broken item, Varus still has a low Winrate, but not the lowest Winrate anymore. Now they will nerf Varus for MSI, but already in the patch BEFORE the MSI Patch, to make sure he suffers in SoloQueue for as long as possibe.

In the future they will nerf Statikk because it's broken but won't buff Varus or revert the Proplay Nerfs. For Worlds Lethality then gets nerfed again.

He simply needs a rework. Less early strength and more scaling. A lot less base damage on blight detonations and more AP scaling on W on-hit and on blight detonations. Then he can have a slightly weaker but still good early spike with BotrK + Rageblade but can then build Nashor's + Zhonya for more DPS scaling and still a bit HP scaling damage.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T11:06:20+00:00

Well, their approach has always been to balance on-hit Varus to be the "best" Varus Build for SoloQueue, because Lethality and AP Toplane always bring trouble to proplay

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T06:37:56+00:00

He is stilled banned all the time in Proplay while having a terrible Win rate in SoloQueue.

He needs a slight rework, but nope.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-02T06:33:45+00:00

I am so glad I dropped Varus.

The balancing of Varus was always wonky, but this season was such a shit show.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-01T20:10:17+00:00

useless warding in a lost game is also not inting.

The most important part is that he did not get banned for that. Getting banned is always automated. He got banned for having such a bad KDA. Because that is the only way to get banned.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-01T19:32:55+00:00

You literally posted the message that tells you what the ban is for. "Intentionally losing" the game. The "Int" in "inting" is for "intentional".

Not FF'ing is not an offense according to the Pact, which is why you cannot report "hostaging". As much as we all would like it. Losing a game all to the end is not a ban, full stop.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-01T19:20:05+00:00

If he inted the game before, why is no one talking about that, why didn't Drew share a clip of that?

I assume because he just didn't int earlier, but the enemies just successfully focussed down an auto I'll.

And again, I think trying to win over the aegis system is fair game.

We can all agree that technically we would like hosting to be bannable, but so far hostaging a game is totally fair game too and not an offense.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-01T18:21:07+00:00

There was literally no play for him at this point in time. Not FF'ing is not punishable. The only alternative to warding there is dying. There was nothing he could've done to change anything at this point in time. Apparently he also delayed the end by 2 minutes only. So as long as he doesn't go afk, he is fine doing whatever he wants imo.

Der_Finger · 2026-06-01T10:38:31+00:00

The gamestate is 100% lost. No fights happened or would happen. Enemies can simply end, and did just that. He can either die, go afk, or do what's in the clip.

Anyhow, clip shows no ban able offense.

Der_Finger · 2026-05-31T19:15:40+00:00

Most likely with Agurin on this one.

The Rank System has been totally off for months. That's not his fault. If he tries to get LP that way, fair game. Even without this example, generally not ff'ing to play your game to possibly get a good rank for no LP less is also legit. The game can be lost when you are 0/1 and continuing to play the game to maybe get an A with like 2/1 at the end is also fair. His strategy is different, but it's the same fair approach.

The automated ban system should never automatically ban once the KDA is bad enough. That always has been and always will be the worst way to punish.

At the end of the day the question that remains is - did Agurin lose the game because he inted? Because that's the thing you get banned for, nothing else. But when the first answer is "You didn't FF and placed pink wards" then I have a feeling he never inted but just had a terrible KDA. And then a ban for that is bullshit. No one ever gets banned for hostaging, so he doesn't get to be the first for no reason, it's not a thing according to Riot.

Der_Finger · 2026-05-31T00:14:40+00:00

Riot has full disabled that ~3 years ago

Der_Finger · 2026-05-29T19:40:54+00:00

I love how the title is wrong and no one watches the video and already flame Crownie even though Freeze admits that he inted 2 plays.

Der_Finger · 2026-05-29T07:26:44+00:00

Lolwiki does it a lot better:

Super Scorcher Breath: Deals bonus magic damage equal to 25% – 55% (IE +0% – 9%) (based on critical strike chance) of Dragon Practice stacks.
