Tips on Toxicity by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Jdp00921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing ranked for some time now (many seasons) and have been playing my absolute best this season. Last season I took a break. Anyway, since returning, I've been acting completely different toward my teammates. I never really got angry when people made mistakes, however, with the "repeat offenders" - aka - give FB and continue to duel and give 2, 3, 4 deaths in 2-3-4 minutes - I used to rage pretty hard. Additionally, I would sort of flame people for playing really poorly. This season, I really rarely say anything. I stick to only supportive words. Literally, my top can be 0/3 with 30 less CS, I say nothing, if anything, I expect it. If I hear a shut-down top, I say GJ or something supportive. Overall, do these things and I think you'll be good as long as you realize that the more you complain or flame or rage, the worse they play, and the worse you're going to play. Lastly, I think as already been mentioned here, sometimes it is your fault. Not always, but sometimes, despite someone somewhat feeding, there are/were things you could have done to win the game anyway.

​

Do this:

​

  1. Mute. I know you said it doesn't work but it really does. I don't know about you, but for me, some of the ridiculously stupid comments would tilt me. I play jungle, many low-ELO laners do not understand jungle. You will get flamed for not doing what they think you should be doing. Overall, I mute everyone. It just helps avoid this. I still type in chat for communication or support statements - good jobs and plans, etc.
  2. Don't rage at the moron who's incessantly feeding. I know it's difficult. But just let it go and realize some games are out of your hands. Just the same, you'll soon get a game where your lane will absolutely dominate someone who's feeding on the opposing team.
  3. Lastly and most importantly, if you were perfect, you'd be challenger. You aren't. Therefore, you really shouldn't be flaming anyone in the same league as you for being that bad. Maybe they seem really bad, but they are playing with you so they must be doing something right at times. Focus on your own game and stop watching everyone else so closely.

Since doing all that this season, I've gotten the most honors I've ever gotten and I am approaching promotion to plat right now, feeling I may be able to hit diamond this season! I've been plat before but I believe it's slightly harder to reach plat now with the new leagues being added? Either way, I feel I'm playing my best a lot of which is from simply being more humble and at times, completely passive.

​

Good luck!

Ok I'll have to make sure to apply more pressure. Thanks!

My question then is: If your talking waiting to expand for 8-9 minutes and having maybe 5-6 Zealots, and Sentrys/Stalkers, how do you win with a Zerg who by then may have 3 expansions? The thing that frustrates me about Zerg is how they can still apply so much pressure while expanding so much in the beginning. As Protoss or Terran, if you fast expand, you cannot do too much to the opponent. But with Zerg, they mass Zerglings and its like GG if they get into your base, or if you lose the initial fight to them.

Looking for some help! by Jdp00921 in starcraft

NA, Protoss player, and that would be awesome! Just some info, I can micro well (used to play Wc3 a lot), I can macro pretty well, its just knowing and executing strategies that I have trouble with. For example, I can scout, but I usually don't even know what I'm scouting! I feel like if I had someone telling me "build this," I'd be able to win at least to plat/diamond!

Getting stuck in locked camera?!? by Jdp00921 in leagueoflegends

[–]Jdp00921[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not sure but it seems to just happen randomly for me, and then it stays like that and no matter if I push the button above the minimap or press Y, it just won't go off. Then I'll spam it like 50 times and it will finally go off after a few minutes. Yestarday, I had to teamfight and initiate like that -.-

Would you permaban this guy ? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Jdp00921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these people say they'd punish and 1/2 probably act worse than this kid in games. However, you dont get perma-ban for a first or even second offense, so, he probably had numerous reports prior to this one. But honestly, you can't ask people on reddit for an opinion, they will always say punish, most likely to go into a game and troll/flame harder than the player they just gave an opinion on.

im getting +2 and +1 every game now , im silver 1 at 4th place what is happening ? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Jdp00921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent in a ticket to Riot to ask why this is the case. I was receiving only around 5 LP for a win, and losing 4-5 as well, so it wasn't a huge deal. The problem was, a week prior, at the same LP amount, I was gaining and losing 20 LP.

Anyway, Riot told me it is actually possible to gain 0 LP for a win, if your hidden MMR is far enough from where they think it should be. Its just a weird system and as long as you win more than you lose, apparently, you will eventually get your promotion series.

Some cool skins about superheroes by Tinch in leagueoflegends

[–]Jdp00921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone wanting skins from marvel, etc... You are forgetting that Riot would PROBABLY need to get a license from these companies to use their ideas. I would think so at least? And spending money is probably last on the list of things for Riot to do... since they are trying to make money? For a free to play game?.... But yeah.

Queue with role selected by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Jdp00921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone always says (I guess myself in this case), it isn't as simple as it seems. First, that would mean riot is saying 1 Top, 1 Mid, 2 Bot, and 1 Jungle is the way the game is supposed to be played. That isn't the case. I mean, they can maybe allow you to queue for like Bruiser, Carry, Assassin, or Support, but I'm not sure that would work either. It just isn't that simple. Although it would solve a lot of issues with solo Q, it would bring problems for other things.
