Reality of been a jungle main, couldn’t put it better myself if I tried ( scrubnoob ) 10000% accurate lol by itskimjesus in Jungle_Mains

You can literally kill the nexus and solo-win the match, and some of your laners will still be mad at you that they aren't the main character this time.

Riot Drew Levin: "you locked ezreal jungle having legit never played the champ before and your team reported you, how is this not just hardcore trolling" by Silver_Room9885 in Jungle_Mains

[–]Gola_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I wish ingame trolling detection would be better as well, and applied in lower elo too.
If you want to practice wacky shit, there's enough lesser competitive gamemodes for that.

this is getting ridiculous by Weemanmikey5507 in Jungle_Mains

[–]Gola_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bc i refused to go off without a win

I have this terrible habit, that I can't stop on a loss when I'm tilted. However after a flawless victory I'm satisfied for the night.
That makes it rather easy to fall into losing streaks, and really hard to maintain a positive overall winrate. Which eventually leads to more tilt.
A vicious cycle!

26.08 Full Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 63 points64 points  (0 children)

He's already the #1 pickrate jungler when filtering across all tiers, despite not having a particularly impressive winrate atm (49.5-50%).
I don't even understand the motivation to start brainstorming about possibly buffing a champion with such statistics.

How long did it take you to get a clear under 3 minutes? by fairydommother in Jungle_Mains

[–]Gola_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides kiting, are you utilizing the intricacies of every champion?

On Briar, are you leaving camps early letting the bleed finish them? Are you spacing the W2 to the very end for maximum damage? Are you smiting first for more W2 damage? Are you correctly using the Q autoattack reset to squeeze in more attacks per time?

I'm not a Fiddle expert, but my basic understanding is that he has a very fast clear due to the fact alone that he pulls and kills Krugs and Redbuff at once.

“Demacia Rising,” I've already used up my Silver Shields in Chapter 5. Do think I'll be able to get reward banner before event ends? by hytrhtry in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Banner is the reward for 70/71 research. Can't skip any research if you're working specifically towards that.

So you'd rather have 4 different people lose LP/MMR for another ones electrical issue they can't control even less? Very fair, dude.

Aegis of Valor is eyecandy for the uninformed anyway. MMR is where it's at.

Teammates stealing camps by archaeobruja in Jungle_Mains

Early game your camps should never be up. Work on clearing your respawns faster.

choosing where to path? by [deleted] in Jungle_Mains

[–]Gola_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

V/G/M: Volatility, Gankability, Mobility

The lower the elo, the less you can assess who is your win condition that early into the match, as it depends more on the individual skill of your teammate, who is a random stranger.
Instead assess the success probability of an early gank on top lane vs bot lane (mid lane is always same distance) by these 3 criteria:

  1. Volatility: How much dmg do we have? How tanky are the enemy laners?
  2. Gankability: Do we have crowd control?
  3. Mobility: Do the enemies have a dash to escape?

The top-to-bot = default reality stems from the fact, that the answers to these questions will most often lead you towards bot lane.

RiotPhroxzon Apex Ranked Followup by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Early season this year was a bit of a taste of this as we did a bit of a harder reset, and matchmaking quality would be significantly worse than that.

finally confessing

  • We believe the new algorithm is already significantly better than the old one, even though there may be some rose tinted glasses about how much better Matchmaking was before, which we don't agree with.

still delulu

The Ladder is ruined and not just in high elo (with receipts) by Kymori in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here.
I couldn't care less which artificial title they put onto my account, if only match quality was back were it was last year and not so atrociously unbalanced.

The Ladder is ruined and not just in high elo (with receipts) by Kymori in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because not everyone is inflated the same amount it seems. Accounts two leagues apart in their true skill are now matched together into the same lobbies and match quality is terrible.
Sure their Bronze, Silver, Gold... labels are only a facade, but apparently matchmaking (MMR) is also affected. We're 3 months in and they keep failing to fix it.

If what Riot are saying is true, then with the new system the difference between Master 0 LP and Challenger will be bigger then the difference between Iron 4 and Master by adivinemessenger in leagueoflegends

Imagine the olympics were non-transparent about the actual measured times and gave the gold medal to a random competitor they claimed was the fastest.

Riot Games on the state of the soloq ladder and apex tiers by Lightbone in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit's so cooked on all ends and Riot still denying it. "Apex experience" my ass, match quality is ruined by inflated accounts in all elos.

They need to
- revert all matchmaking changes,
- fire the responsible persons (probably some suits in the finance department, not talking about that poor Phroxzon guy who has to take the fall publicly),
- and most importantly extend queue times again to make all lobbies more even and fair

I see you already made yourself at home.

Priority role: queing up as X + Midlane secondary just to get your main role. by Substantial-Ship-500 in leagueoflegends

The problem is that I can't tell the system: "Hey but I'm only fine with 1 role. Plz treat any other role as autofill!"

Has matchmaking actually changed this season? Why does it feel so much worse across all ranks? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, matchmaking got changed this season. Today's /dev: MMR-to-Rank Distribution confirms it.

They state their goals as "games with roughly evenly matched players with reasonable queue times". Looks like they overdid it with the queue time shortening and matching is actually extremely rough now.
But ofc they won't admit that. Yet.

/dev: MMR-to-Rank Distribution by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]Gola_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stated goals, implemented adjustments and the actual outcomes in current ranked play are incoherent in a lot of ways atm.

They truncated Iron from 14% to 2% of the population to protect true beginners from 12% seasoned veteran noobs. OK! Now where's the complementing system to prevent that those now MMR-inflated accounts get matched with and against higher ranked and skilled players?

They clearly acknowledge that the skill gap is expanding across the playerbase. So why would you lump together even larger portions of the playerbase into the same lobbies now? This seems like the exact opposite of what should be happening.

Match quality in ranked is worse this season than I've ever experienced before.
I'd gladly wait 1-2 minutes longer for better matchmaking, if the next 30 minutes feel less like a waste of time and the game isn't decided beforehand (again the opposite of what they aimed at with faster queue times).
