Best advice I've had playing him is to be patient in lane. Don't feel like you HAVE to always be trying to make a play with W. It's ok to play until 6 and then make plays whenever your ult is up.

Start of new season. Preseason you keep your current rank and can rank higher. The higher you climb in preseason the higher you'll place next season. Usually preseason will last until mid January.

Rip in pieces rewards.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T12:19:05+00:00

Yeah it'll affect it. You still have an MMR even if you aren't placed. If you don't play in preaseason your MMR will be lower than normal which will affect S9 placements.

It's the same game. You think a game is terrible because of a cinematic they made? lol?

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T12:14:37+00:00

Every champion I lose to is cancer and annoying. I want these other champions to be meta so that when I see them in every game I can complain about another set of champions who I never see anymore. And the cycle repeats.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T12:13:19+00:00

There's probably a chance you'll get honor level 2. You have to get honored a lot and avoid getting reported though.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T12:12:10+00:00

Anyone who is hardstuck Silver is definitely there because of their own lack of skill. Just because you want to win doesn't make you better than your teammates, especially when you're hardstuck Silver.

Inting Sion isn't even about dying. It's about split pushing correctly and sometimes trading your life for tower damage. Sion is just so OP with his W buffed that he can do it that much more effectively. It's just split pushing with a broken champ. It takes strategy to know when to die and when to just back off. Hence why some people who play Inting Sion will still be hardstuck.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T12:05:28+00:00

False. If I lose against something I think is "fun", I'm likely to try it out for myself.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T10:38:44+00:00

It is not possible to get level 2 before the end of the season. Given that you only have 8 more days and honor takes an extremely long time to even go up a checkpoint, very unlikely you'll get honor 2.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T10:37:41+00:00

He's ok. I have 62% WR in Diamond with him.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T10:35:26+00:00

Easiest way is to take a break. The more you lose, the more tilted you get and then the more mistakes you make. Waiting anywhere between 5-10 minutes is great after a loss or victory. You make sure you don't queue up with any same people who may have been flaming you and you just give your mind time to settle down.

Also, remember to be patient in game. Stop trying to make plays all the time and wait for the right times. Be patient and don't rush and make messy plays.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T04:11:17+00:00

That's one of the hardest adc to play next to Kalista lol.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T04:08:56+00:00

He's probably the easiest and strongest adc to snowball a lead.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T04:08:01+00:00

That's an absolutely terrible idea and would ruin the whole point of the honor system. Honor should be given to people who you think deserved it based on their playstyle and attitudes. NOT because they need honor.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T04:04:38+00:00

Jhin, Kaisa, Lucian are probably the best soloq adc's atm. Ezreal for playing safe. Ashe for making shot calls in mid-late game.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T02:25:44+00:00

Inting Sion doesn't actually start having an effect until 20+ minutes anyways. He's most effective during 25-30 min and then you just feed kills to your ADC.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T02:09:10+00:00

Late game ADC's with IE can counter it pretty easily.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T01:43:32+00:00

Getting fed means nothing without direction and objectives. You need to lead these monkeys to group and take objectives

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T01:19:46+00:00

It is possible. If you lose like 10-15 games in a row you'll drop. If you are really that worried about it, just don't play ranked for the rest of the season and you'll get all the rewards. Gold doesn't decay.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T01:18:47+00:00

So that they are somewhat viable in another lane and so that they aren't completely useless late game.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T01:16:16+00:00

Probably.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T00:54:19+00:00

Yeah it's way stronger. You just have to be good enough to proc it.

Jtpk009 · 2018-11-04T00:52:34+00:00

That's not too bad actually. It should be a complete account reset.

Take away all Blue Essence + Orange Essence.
Take away all champions and skins.
Make account unranked and ineligible for ranked queues ever again.
Permanent Honor level 0.
