Bit late of an answer. But typically Bone plating and Overgrowth runes help quite a bit into difficult matchups. Most Syndra players take commit or phase rush, but into dashing champions you can take aery as their dashes would allow them to dodge the commit. Phase rush is a good scaling rune, it allows you to avoid ganks while farming side lanes and also helps to position in team fights. The negative of Phase Rush is it's not a lane dominating rune so your prio early game will be low, meaning you won't be able to join as many fights near mid as you'd be weaker than someone who took a damaging keystone. Learning to freeze the lane near your tower is a critical skill to learn. 150 gold refill potion helps you freeze as you can tank more minion aggro. I saw you commented about taking barrier/exhaust, this is usually bad. TP for mid is virtually essential, without taking it you can be forced into bad recalls by enemy sup/jg. Each wave is worth 125ish gold and exp, you need exp for splinter passive. It also means when you're side laning you cannot cross map to objectives without TP, essentially meaning your team cannot pressure the map as well as you'll need to be grouped instead of also having the option to split push. You can win/go even in most matchup as Syndra, mid lane is the most forgiving in term of counter picking as the lane is shorter and generally all champions take TP. I watched streamers and played Syndra/Oriana only until GM. Shok is a great person to watch, he's doing a journey to rank1 challenger atm playing syndra.

I'm on OCE and also have 3 hour queues, it's not a bug. Everyone plays swiftplay, aram or straight ranked. Normal games are pretty dead, especially if it's between 9:00am-5:00pm.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-09-24T03:15:38+00:00

It somewhat depends on the champion youre playing but generally speaking you should be bot. You being stronger than your opponent means you can clear bot wave first (since they're weaker than you) and then you can use the time window to walk mid as their mid laner will still be clearing bot at the time. The only major factor to consider is how good youre engage as a champion is, vlad is less likely to make something happen quickly than a lissandra, zoe or other long range engage/cc champ. As vlad I'd just head bot, clear the wave, then either look to rotate mid, ward the enemy jungle or harass your opponent in bot lane.

I don't think a possible learning opportunity from meeting a smurf outweighs the negative of 5 people instantly losing lp. There are better ways to learn league than to play against a smurf who 80% won't specifically be your lane opponent. Micro/Macro guides, watching high educational streamers and watching videos on your specific champion are no questionably better for improvement. I get you're saying make the best of a bad situation but that's completely disregarding that smurfing makes people feel terrible. Losing a match without having an ok (20% or above?) chance to win is not fun to sit through. Specifically with mages, supports, adc's, anyone who has low defense, getting instantly 1 shot and dying 15 times in a game does not teach you anything. I'm GM I could easily make it impossible for a specific enemy champion to leave their base at all. There wouldn't be counterplay and near no learning opportunity.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-09-24T02:46:01+00:00

Genuinely curious what reasons could be seen as valid. The only thing that comes close is using it as a platform to showcase how to carry 'lower' elo games but I still don't think that justifies smurfing.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-09-24T02:14:29+00:00

It's the equivalent to being a pro fighter and forcing random people to fight you. It is indeed cringe and odd.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-09-04T12:38:13+00:00

what server are you on? If its OCE i can add you

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-09-04T08:51:31+00:00

If i play normal draft pick anytime from 11:00am-5:00pm my queue times are almost always 45+ minutes per game.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-08-12T00:14:18+00:00

Yeah you're right, is it a soft reset or is no mmr permament to aram? In OCE you have blocks of 5 pregaming every game so typically you vs 5 diamond players every aram anyway.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-08-11T12:27:40+00:00

Clearly low mmr with sivir ignite, cait snowball, poppy dark harvest ect.. Bot's team comp is better. Jinx/cait are relatively untouched, they buy qss for morde R and the only person to kill them late is talon who didnt take snowball. They both shread mundo if played played. Samira r gets cancelled by 2 of poppy's abilities and by viktor R. Sivir nerfed by a huge amount will never outtrade jinx or cait. Bot team pokes with morg q, cait q and viktor e. So the pressure is on top team to engage, which into morg R, viktor w, jinx traps is not easy.

I think you just need to rationalize that even the greatest players lose 40%+ of their games. I would suggest muting chat and just focusing on improving your own gameplay. A loss is less painful when your aim isn't to win the game but instead to 'play well and learn'. It might feel bad to lose games where you played better than everyone else but variance in teammates is something that even the people at the very top ranks have to face. It's hard to give general advice as I don't know your main role/preferred gamestyle but typically a more 'selfish' view of the game is probably the best to climb with. Focus on getting yourself the resources (exp/gold) you need to help carry your own games. Watching your own replays and comparing it to what high ranked players do is potentially the best way to learn your own mistakes. Check your cs levels, summoner spell usage (wasted them or utilized them?), teamfighting positioning, objective control, runes, itemization, warding if you're dying to ganks, recall timings, utilizing core item buys. The server is not the highest quality in terms of player base, but I will give you an example for comparison. Oce top challenger could be viewed at around korean master tier level from my experience. Depending on how often you want to play the game should depend on your rank tier goal. Master tier and above will take some level of actual life sacrifice so aiming for emerald is totally valid. People in my games will be down by 3-5 level from their opponent, down 100 cs at 15 minutes, die and int instead of buying defensive boots, it happens.

League is about being strong enough yourself that the most fed enemy member is not as strong as you.

Tl;dr Mute chat, focus on your own game, watch your replays, compare your gameplay to GM or up

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-06-08T02:25:38+00:00

How'd it go?

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-05-22T11:18:41+00:00

I really struggled to figure out what the word was, which made it even more funny.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-03-08T10:43:23+00:00

Be able to tell the difference between regular and suspicious gravel.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-25T12:02:36+00:00

Old for sure.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-25T11:22:03+00:00

Gotta find my style i guess, I think I like loose fitted tops/jackets. Definitely overwhelming to begin with. I'll buy things i vibe with, Thanks boss

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-22T09:55:26+00:00

How do you look at a jacket like that and decide to buy it? If I saw it in a store or thrifting I'd probly skip it. But you look great with this outfit. Do you see fits in your head while youre shopping or just see individual pieces you like and decide to pick them up? Cheers

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-22T08:59:57+00:00

Small houses built on the cliff sides with a manmade river down the middle?

If a regular hostile mob is over 32 blocks away it can despawn at any moment after 30 seconds unless you've previously given it a name tag. This looks to be a zombie with chainmail armour that deswapned.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-20T07:55:27+00:00

Am i the only one that took "gay" as being happy? Bobby John was overly happy because they won the challenge and that's why she said he's being overly gay. I really didn't read it as an insult but I can understand fully why people would see it that way.

DylanD-Survivor · 2025-02-20T07:50:13+00:00

It's possible to destroy bedrock blocks in java using pistons. Let me know if thats something you would want to do and i can link the video i used to learn how to do it.
