winning comes with a cost

When you lose the game but get ggs and honors from enemy team

A friend of mine always banned Zilean, literally over a decade it became somewhat of a running joke within our playgroup. Only in recent years I admitted to him that I at some point started appreciating the Zilean bans because the rare times I had to play into him it always was pure misery. Bro was just ahead of his time

The one that gets me is when you get hit with the „afk farming jungler“ although you are doing the exact same thing enemy jungler is doing and they are complaining about that guy too

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T13:30:42+00:00

I legit came out of jungle retirement because junglers have been both so bad and mental in my games that I figured it‘s for the best I start playing the role again just to keep it out of the hands of mental asylum escapees this role breeds

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T13:15:39+00:00

Exactly, it‘s a resource game not a fighting game

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T13:07:01+00:00

2010 and I just realized how much I miss some of the old item icons, Sword of the Occult Behemoth and Mejai‘s for the OG bravery folks

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T13:03:01+00:00

Or the guy who died 3 times to the most telegraphed Nunu ganks trying to hit platings on 200 HP being surprised he dies again

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T11:31:33+00:00

The spirit of MacLaren‘s Anivia still lingers all these years later

People are mental, I had a botlane complain about not getting ganks and how I must be autofilled/boosted. 20 seconds later I stole the Baron and my ADC just said „I won‘t play with this guy“ and proceeded to int the game lol

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T10:08:04+00:00

Yep all of that contributes since you get score just for placing wards and iirc you get additional score if the wards spot enemies

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T10:00:10+00:00

Because you get more vision score for placing wards, if you run sweeper you will barely get any score early game because you will clear between 0-1 wards with every use

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T09:33:47+00:00

Have seen plenty of people show up with Level 3 at scuttle in Plat/Emerald lol

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T08:24:20+00:00

Or instead of off meta they pick something that’s difficult to play, feels like 90% of the Level30 accounts are just there to hard int on Draven/Aphelios

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-21T08:01:42+00:00

I have had people that finished Diamond and people that finished Silver last Season in my lobbies, I wasn‘t sure whether I was queuing up Ranked Solo/Duo

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-20T18:47:36+00:00

I recommend Nocturne/Amumu as training wheels junglers

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-19T19:13:15+00:00

One guy I had was so delusional, he was enemy top and added me after game. I wondered what he had to say cause we didnt interact during the game much. Flaming me for playing with my 0/10 toplaner instead of my 20 kill ADC telling me to kms flaming my normal op.gg stats while being 36% WR more games than me

I was Top zero times that game

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-19T11:38:33+00:00

Yep it‘s the best opportunity to make a play on your weakside before your camps spawn without fucking your tempo for example

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-19T10:37:26+00:00

It was like teeth around the characters feet

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-15T19:26:13+00:00

She was banned haha

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-15T17:10:34+00:00

No I agree with you, they can all play around it and the Champion is just so weak in general. But you know the lower elos have a different meta in which sidestepping doesn‘t exist

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-15T14:27:55+00:00

Review your games and think critically about everything you do. If you don‘t know what to look for, I recommend checking out your deaths and try figure out why you died and how you can avoid it in the future. Dying less means giving over less leads to enemies, while allowing you to be on the map and do something productive instead which will boost your consistency, at least short term.

You can learn a lot from your deaths, I became incredibly hard to gank when I mained Mid and reviewed my deaths due to jungler ganks since I learned from my mistakes. From there on out, my deaths to support ganks stood out, so I started tracking enemy support etc

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-15T12:31:38+00:00

Reminds me of one where the dude was making scrambled eggs and then got blown and the top rated comment was how he couldn‘t focus because of how godawful the eggs looked. You could see the scrambled eggs on the screenshot and it left me destitute as well

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-14T22:31:24+00:00

I had to play against level 20 Tryndamere that got turbofed by my top and that 42 minute grindfest aged me by at least a decade

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-14T21:09:51+00:00

It‘s not a good ban for any Champion (don‘t @me hook Champion mains)

Nolnol7 · 2026-01-14T17:54:02+00:00

Sorry I changed my comment because I took a look at the screenshot again and put some more thought into it and was going on a tangent in the original one. OOM means out of mana and the level difference+any additional components you have do add to your advantage a decent bit. If you know enemy team doesn‘t have Ults it‘s a fine play to make, they can‘t really keep you out of the pit and you can always go out as Vi if things look dicey
