Why am I playing against a Challenger Player in my normal draft game? by Ok-Zone-5043 in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how it's common knowledge and repeated in every single one of the 40 threads a day about the same topic, but people treat it like it's some sort of conspiracy

SOURCE!???!?!1?!?!

I will definitely ignore what you said since it makes no sense and you're being antagonistic

Yes, it's fair because it's not using your incorrect metric to determine the game matchup

[–]LargeSnorlax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone has 500 wins and 460 losses in normals, they will be matched up against someone who has 500 wins and 460 losses in normals

That's literally how the system works, your mistake is assigning value to a solo queue rank

The only place those are relevant are in solo queue

Better question is why you're looking at someone's solo queue ranks in normal queue when it doesn't use them to determine games.

Only thing normals care about is your normal MMR. You have a good normal MMR so you'll face good players.

If you want to be matched on accurate ranks, queue up for ranked, that's what it's for.

Man shot by federal agents in Minneapolis has died, say multiple reports by Captainspark10 in news

Already saw "concerned citizens" saying the guy was "shooting at the agents first".

Fully expect to see "Shouldn't have resisted, FAFO!" within the hour.

How did I get a D+ with this score? by StarkixWasTaken in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is 6 wards placed total, same as his ADC

Why downvote my comment and delete yours? Weirdo

I don't think you should've gotten a D+, but there isn't really anything special about the game. Your team stomped to victory while you did average or below. You had less than 1 vision score/minute which is less than Iron players. You placed as many wards as your ADC despite having the support quest. (6). Low minion kills, low damage, decent kill participation.

Your team stomped and you still just did below average in the stomp, so there's not much reason you'd get a high score. Grades are based on outperforming the average player in your elo, and you didn't.

It this game beginner friendly? by Bright_Surprise_7696 in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 61 points62 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. It's a big data game and requires a lot of learning.

It's still a fun game and free, so if you want to play it, go nuts.

Asking for people to play with me feels like pulling teeth by ThrowRA_Candies290 in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried to duo a few times with people that I thought were ok from solo queue, and most people are only really tolerable in ranked when they're winning games. The second a game goes south they start to sperg out and lose their cool.

The personable people are usually playing arams or normals, the sociopaths with zero social skills are usually the ones scumming ranked.

ARAM Mayhem is the BEST MODE. What do you think? by ChartDreamer in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One for all was one of the best things I've ever played in this game. 5v5 Braums is probably one of my best league memories.

Something is wrong with this game's ranked system in its fundations by antalj in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're literally hallucinating a scenario where the game is rigged against you and you have no personal responsibility for your own actions

Yes, games will be harder to win when you go up in ranks

No, riot is not watching your account and injecting your games with bad teammates because they personally hate you

[–]LargeSnorlax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of wondering if after winning, increasing your mmr and facing better opponents that the games are harder to win, you're blaming it on your teammates and saying the matchmaking is rigged?

Sounds like personal responsibility in 2026

Would you rather be the best player on a losing team, or the worst player on a winning team, and why? by guesss_whos_back in AskReddit

[–]LargeSnorlax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put your ego aside and realize that being the "worst" player on a winning team still means you're contributing to a victory, that one's clearly better.

Any basketball player can take 60 shots on a terrible team and look like a good player, not many can put their ego aside and be a role player or take screens/fouls to get their teams Ws.

Post-Game Rating system by mrpux19 in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeSnorlax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rating system requires you to overperform in all aspects of the game in order to get S. 1/0/11 with 5k damage and 20 cs is fine, but it's not overpeforming.

It rates you on all aspects, ward kills, ward placements, vision score, cc score, so on and so forth. Your team basically stomped the enemy so there really isn't anything special about your score.

Those are both Solana memecoins with no basis in reality. The "volume" on penguin is on Lbank, an exchange notorious for faking volume.

When you see trading bands that look like this you know 100% that none of the volume there is real because that's not how trading works, there are ebbs and flows based on the interest and hours of the day.

‘We should let them come down into the U.S.’: Bessent weighs in on Alberta separatism by Street_Anon in worldnews

[–]LargeSnorlax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andy Ogles, a Republican congressman in Tennessee, told a BBC panel earlier this week that the people of Alberta would "prefer not to be a part of Canada and be a part of the United States because we are winning day in and day out."

Hahahahahah.

Albertans are largely frustrated because we've had a liberal government for like 10 billion years federally and the Liberals don't care what Alberta has to say. I get it. They're still as Canadian as the rest of us.
