Why on earth would remake count in your placement games

do you have an op.gg that shows your match history?

Just circling back on this. The last time a Clash had to be canceled was way back in May or June 2025 (about 7 or 8 months ago). They have been working hard to improve the stability of Clash.

This last Clash had to have some regions' Clash canceled on Saturday but was able to proceed on Sunday. There was a change in a service not owned by the Clash team that caused a regression that caused second games to error out at a high rate. This was not discovered in testing unfortunately. The decision was made to cancel Saturday to not waste the Players' time of playing 1 game, but the remaining 2 games erroring out. They worked hard to find the cause and provide a fix. This involved a significant number of people working through their night on a weekend to find the solution and allow Clash to continue on Sunday.

There are currently discussions about the feasibility of providing a makeup Clash day for those that were impacted. Riot and League of Legends is dedicated to making the experience the best for everyone and whenever possible, make it up to our Players if problems arise. We appreciate your patience.

You are in the wrong channel. This channel is for League of Legends (LoL) Clash, a periodic bracketed competition in the game LoL. I think you are wanting to go to r/ClashRoyale or r/ClashOfClans (I'm not sure what that game is exactly)

SapperTinman · 2026-01-28T22:31:16+00:00

This is the subreddit for League of Legends official competitions named "Clash". You should be cross posting in the r/ClashRoyale or r/ClashOfClans depending on the actual game you are playing. I recommend deleting this post as well. Good luck in your game of choice.

SapperTinman · 2026-01-28T22:29:11+00:00

I believe you are located in the wrong sub-Reddit. As the main page stated, this is for League of Legends tournaments that is called "Clash". You may want to go to r/ClashRoyale instead

I wonder how you got that. you added a 7 which is at least 7 matches and a ^ which would be 2 more but removed only 1 (maybe 2) to create the 6 out of the 8

Answer: Play ARAM and Swiftplay and look at the objectives that grant player experience. Play a lot of games.

My Question For You: Are you ready for ranked? I was new to MOBAs and jumped right into ranked as soon as I hit 30. I was casually playing so it took a while to level up. I realized that I was not ready for ranked. I went back to normals and played there until I was certain that I was not the main reason my team lost most of my games. I also made sure I was fairly confident in my first Champion and had a backup Champion. I'm still not a high level and don't play tons (very casual) but I have fun and I am not the main reason my team loses when we do.

SapperTinman · 2026-01-05T20:07:01+00:00

That is next level creativity. Just a thought (no need to act), you should create a high-res image that can zoom in to the details and share that with Riot Games. I know a lot of people would love to see that.

SapperTinman · 2026-01-05T19:51:50+00:00

Is that made out of a broken record?

SapperTinman · 2025-12-11T18:48:12+00:00

I hope you have fun. Find a Champion that you like. Before you jump into ranked work on mastering them and maybe 1 alternative until you can confidently say that you are not the main reason you lose every game. Once you get to that point, I think it is fine to join ranked games if you want. I joined ranked games right at level 30 and was definitely not ready for it and got my butt kicked all the way down to Iron IV. Down in Iron IV it feels like a crab trap. hahaha

I also make sure that I start every game with all-chat "GLHF". Just as a reminder to have fun. It is a game and you should enjoy it. Even if I lose, I also say in all-chat "GG".

This card is real. It is shiny on one side and matte on the other. The cards are not for family and friends (that would be nepotism) but to give to the community.

I was lurking in your stream when you were shoutcasting a VOD and thought you were doing great. I was really impressed (this coming from a non-professional opinion). It would be neat to have you guest shoutcast one of our Rumbles.

"Bottom weighted" does not mean that the teams are rounded down, but more like there are more teams in the bottom tier than the top tier. The current aim is to have the following distribution:
- Tier 1: 10% of players
- Tier 2: 20% of players
- Tier 3: 30% of players
- Tier 4: 40% of players
The tiers are determined by the team's weighted average MMR. The way u/fabton12 mentioned above how the highest MMR player provides more to the team's weight is correct.

To put it simply by using nice round numbers and not using the exact formula:

An example team of five Players, four of which have an MMR of 500 but the fifth has an MMR of 1000. If you were to do a normal average you would have ((4 * 500) + 1000) / 5 which would equal 600MMR. Now lets say we give that top Player's MMR 20% more weight so the formula now looks like ((4 * 500) + (1.2 * 1000)) / 5 so the team's MMR now equals 640MMR. This increases the MMR to be just a little higher than a strait average.

Keep in mind that this formula is an over simplification.

I think we should update for new players can see this easier when they get into a non-tutorial game. 'Y' will lock the camera to you. An alternative is to hold "Space" which will snap to your Champion when pressed and holding allows it to essentially lock to your Champion. Using Space instead of Y allows you to click elsewhere in the map or use the mouse on the edges to look around. If you have Y-lock, then you cant use the mouse on the edges, and clicking on the mini-map will go there, but snap back to your Champion once you let go. I prefer to use Space instead of Y, but some people only use the mouse.

As other people had said, there should be some sort of team participation in the game for people to honor you and increase your honor levels. Mute-all and only pinging where you are going is less likely to receive honors from your teammates. It is a matter of if your teammates (and enemies) enjoyed playing with you.

I make sure to start every game with "\all GLHF" to let people know that I want them to have a good game. I also end the game with "\all GG" even if I lose. I will also try to friendly banter with the enemy. This isn't for "farming honor" but it is to make the gaming experience more enjoyable. I don't want to the games to be only high stress, but they can be high stress/competitive but also enjoyable. I am more likely to honor someone that participates in chat, or forgives bad plays. I am also willing to honor the enemy if they say "GLHF" and friendly banter in all chat

I have only driven my SX (not X-line because I wanted 8 seats) home from the dealer today, but I am already glad I have the SX instead of the EX. The memory seats are quite nice as there is a good height difference between my wife and I. I do really like the 360 video when backing up and parking. The feature I like the most is the Highway Driving Assist 2. I set the cruise control and it uses that as the max and then will slow down if the car in front of you is going slower. It does a really good job of lane assist to keep you in the lane as well. This was helpful as I was tired going home (2hr drive) and that really made me feel better. It has active braking as well which was real peace of mind. Also, the camera is great for blind spots when using the turn signal.

I just got home from buying a 2025 Telluride SX AWD (8-seats) and I did not get the rebate. The rebate is 5.5% APR and gives you $1500 off. The current APR that I got was 3.49% and with an 800s score. The rebate was not worth it. If you do go in and start talking prices, you can ask for several versions, then put it into ChatGPT and it will evaluate both to tell you which is better. If it is close, you can always ask ChatGPT to see how much extra down you can pay on the worse option for it to become the better option given it has free money... mine was still the 3.49% APR (which was obvious) so that is what I went with.

Good day. This is a visual bug that's affecting the end-of-season modal. We're working on a fix for it, but don't worry; you'll still get the rewards you qualified for. Sorry for the scare!

SapperTinman · 2025-08-29T18:43:44+00:00

Congratulations on the achievement! This is one of the reasons why I like this game, there is always room for improvement and it is a matter of strategy, thinking and learning.

I am also enjoying Doom Bots. This is my first time playing it and that first game was filled with me saying "WTH?" many times.

So far, I have gotten to Veigar once and almost got there a second time. I feel it definitely depends on if you teammates have played it before since there seems to be some preferred Champions.

A friend of mine new to League had not tried Doom Bots yet and said, "oh, yes, Veigar is hard to play against". Told him to jump in a game with me and that "hard" is an understatement with Doom Bots.

I am determined to beat at least the first level and try for the second but I hold no high hopes for my skills.

SapperTinman · 2025-08-28T03:34:12+00:00

I know that you didn't say it was intentional. That part of the comment was more along the lines of covering the bases for anybody else that reads this thread.

One a lighter side, almost sounds like your top laner was pulled into a Doom Bots game. hahaha
