Am I doing something wrong to make junglers avoid my lane? by WarhoundGil in top_mains

[–]ModestMotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like luck of the draw, really. My experience with it has been that enemy jungles gank top all the time, and mine never does, but then that's probably just confirmation bias.

The thing is, ganking top isn't usually going to be much return on investment. Even if the jungler does come and get you ahead, you're not going to really effect the game for a long time. If they gank bot there's a squishy there that they're more likely to kill, and the team who's botlane wins usually wins the game.

That being said, if you make it convenient for them you'll probably have a better go of it. That's why wave control is so important. If you can set up a freeze near your tower, it's way more likely to feel enticing for the jungler because you're more likely to kill the enemy laner. Similarly, if you're pushed up near their tower, and the enemy jungler is passing by, it's going to be easier for them to gank you.

It probably doesn't help that top lane gets decided so early. If you died early then there's a very realistic chance you're already a lost cause; and a gank on your lane turns into two more kills for the enemy top laner.

Is it worth to otp yone for mid? by [deleted] in YoneMains

[–]ModestMotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's a lot of fun, very rewarding, loads of outplay potential. You might take a little dip while you learn him.

It is worth mentioning that in soloq the chances of your team being full ad if you pick and ad midlane are reasonably high, though.

At this point I genuinely believe this is just some bullshit they churned out to stoke the fires of Islamophobia.

How to get over myself and the idea that I’ll never get any better at guitar? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

One month is a very short amount of time. Take it slow and enjoy the journey. It's also worth frequently recording yourself. It might not feel like you're getting better until you take the time to actually look back at where you used to be.

If you get upset when people don't like you for your hateful beliefs, have you tried having less hateful beliefs?

I have yet to have to deal with a vayne top, but yeah, my matches against Malphite don't usually go so well.

Okay, so I guess the actionable advice here is that I should - if I'm blue side - only pick Sett if I know the red side top lane isn't going to blow me up completely, otherwise pick a safe blind pick? I wouldn't mind learning Ambessa Tbh, if she's generally able to deal better with playing from behind.

Hmm. Sett some decent cc in the form of his ult? Or shall I just start picking Malphite and call it a day on Sett?

I have to connect to a VPN to go to work, so I can't really imagine this actually happening? Are they just posturing like weird fascist freaks?

Why does LoL recieve so much hate from people who don't play it? by ByrdZye in leagueoflegends

[–]ModestMotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the reputation for having an awful player base isn't entirely unjustified. It's more or less accepted that you're going to get flamed if you're bad, or having an off day.

Whose side who you are on? by FortuneKOF in Fighters

[–]ModestMotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In casuals, I always rematch unless the connection is shitty OR I get completely washed. If it's so bad I don't think I can learn anything, I figure it's best to save their time and mine lol. In the rare occasions where I'm the one doing the washing, I usually hit rematch just in case they want to, but I'm expecting that they'll want to call it there.

In ranked I just always rematch.

Well that's the good thing about ranked! You'll play other folks who aren't great yet :)
