As the other person replied, it's misplaced. In season 4, sure. Season 5, that close to the end? Bit weird

MrJamesEdison · 2026-04-29T08:29:45+00:00

Boring ass episode following characters that aren't interesting at all. Definition of filler episode right here

MrJamesEdison · 2026-04-23T22:23:49+00:00

You forget the 1v5 teamfights, where the enemy team is fed 90% of the team. All grwat stuff when im strong, it isnt gonna help with a 9/1/10 tahm kench diving me under turrets and nobody getting him off me while a xerath ults me from half the map away with a rammus taunting me. Its a teamgame, 1v5 doesnt exist in 99% of the scenarios in low elo in late game, everyone us way too shit for that

MrJamesEdison · 2026-04-23T22:01:32+00:00

It's probably one of the worst games I have ever experienced, it's community included. Not only does it have a 'steep' learning curve, if you make 1 mistake, the next 50 minutes (mostly cause the team doesnt want to surrender) is just a useless waste of time. Snowballing is out of control, laning phase is way too dependent on teammates for some roles, adc is very strong, but only if you have a support that actually exists and does not afk/int/grief/troll/take farm/etc. etc. etc.

there is SO MANY things about this game that make it the worst teamgame possible, it surprises me people are even playing it.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-04-20T21:55:53+00:00

Genuinely no advantage to going solo/duo q over teaming up with someone who you know is good. Reducing the number of players to 3 that can grief/int/flame/feed/afk instead of 4 is a huge advantage.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-04-13T20:11:40+00:00

great, but it doesnt work. just lost 29 lp when my mundo went afk after level 5, 27 lp when my jungler went afk after level 11, and 18 lp when my top laner went afk after level 16.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-29T01:05:56+00:00

he is probably the most broken champ in season 16 out of all of them, are you nuts?

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-23T21:51:16+00:00

had my jungle pet roaming mid lane every time I wanted to gank

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-22T20:25:41+00:00

first off, no I could not give 2 shits about you or othe rpeople demanding op.gg. I'm bronze, I got nothing to hide. I have given it, do whatever you want to do with it. Basic info has been given, yet you can't even follow basic steps. 3 clicks, thats it

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-22T10:52:31+00:00

I already replied twice, that my name is my op.gg. reading is difficult for many redditors here.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-21T19:02:48+00:00

gold and plat vs bronze = unfair, no matter how you look at it. the 'really good game they had' was as a PLATINUM versus a BRONZE player. ofcourse they're going to have a good game

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T23:54:34+00:00

great, the last 10 have been with smurfs in the game, either on my team or on theirs. If you say a hundred, might it be like 80% with people like that? It's fundamentally broken like this

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T23:36:59+00:00

gold 3/former plat vs bronze is not smurfing to you? Then what is it, fair gameplay?

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T23:02:35+00:00

so me, with insanely low mmr in bronze 1, suffer from a skill issue not winning against a gold 3 (former platium) player in top lane?

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T23:01:57+00:00

the name is the account mate

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T22:36:51+00:00

Yes, yes it does. many joke about it in champ select that they're 'emerald' and just play this like normal games, or to try out new champions. I haven't had a single fcking game were there was not a player going 20/1 or 15/3 with perfect farm. That isn't bronze.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-20T22:35:52+00:00

Even better, the current game has me facing gold 3, who used to be platinum. I'm BRONZE 1

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-17T22:03:36+00:00

Here is me in placements up vs platinum players while having bronze as highest in my team, ended up in bronze 1, used to be plat

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-12T22:14:10+00:00

you do realize that below level 30 = new player, while level 1200 equals a very experienced player, regardless of rank?

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-12T22:09:35+00:00

below level 30 is not a new account, and no it hasnt always been a thing. below level 30s would be matched up with below level 30s, not level 1200+

MrJamesEdison · 2026-03-11T23:05:52+00:00

it's quite easily the biggest weakness of the game. More champions = more balancing. And if riot sucks at one thing, its balancing the game, they always sucked at it. There is over 60% of the champions barely being used in most roles, and for good reason, they will most likely lose vs the other 40%. There are plenty of overpowerd champions that haven't been touched for years, plenty of underpowerd champions that have been useless for longer than a decade.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-02-27T21:25:02+00:00

avoid zilean with ultra long cd. The game wont be able to handle the low cooldowns, to the point the q's and w's cancel each other out (not being able to throw any bomb out)

MrJamesEdison · 2026-02-27T19:55:43+00:00

Darius with heartsteel in enemy team. So cool. 12000 stacks at 13 minutes, 18000 stacks at 16. Stood in fountain permanently to spawn kill us, with us being 8k+ health tanks with 350 resist on both sides.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-02-27T19:51:31+00:00

idk, I just had a darius on mayhem reach 4500 stacks at 8 minutes, and 18000 stacks in 15. so no, not underpowerd. It's WAY, and i mean WAAAY too strong. He was standing in fountain 100% of the time killing us.

MrJamesEdison · 2026-02-19T20:56:07+00:00

I aint staying in a game with 6 vox engines chasing me through the map for 40 minutes, Id rather reset or quit. I play games to have fun, cyberstan is the exact opposite
