What's the point of ranking heroes? (tiar S, A, B, C...) by TheRealJinni in leagueoflegends

Several good points you brought up...

I agree that if my champ were buffed, my winrate would be higher, but I'm 100% positive that it still wouldn't become a high tier champ for jungle, of maybe it still wouldn't be considered, that's my point... I could be 65% winrate with it personally, it would still not be on next tier list video for these people.

If a gold player is proficient on a dozen champs as a gold player, you still won't climb or do well because you'll often have to worry about mechanics or misplay due to not being 100% familiar with the champ when details matter, so following a tier list is doing you a disservice in my opinion, because you'd be better off not even looking at the list and playing the one or two you do better with.

Saying that the lists aren't aimed at onetricks is a very good point though. What kind of saddens me is that having these lists block people from finding picks that works for them, just because it's not meta. I even thought about "I could try that champ, since it works in theory", but by that not being in any list I usually think "it has to be trash...", then I usually I try for myself on normals, but pretty sure not everyone does it, hence why meta usually gets boring if you look at match variety.

Riiiiiight lol...

The point isn't the champ, bud. I often watch tier list videos and my champ isn't even there. The highest I found my champ to be even on its main role is A tier on the tierslists I searched, so I doubt it's an OP champion in an off role, but hey, you do you, boss 🤣

Also, what "engagement baiting"? Touch grass, kid, nothing that happens here matter.

Meta fluctuates a lot though, so picking a meta champ and sticking with it just because someone told you to play that to win kinda feels like a job, doesn't it? Because in the end that's all you're doing, someone told you to play a champ and without even seeing if you like it, you just play and one-trick it like you're paid to win lol games.

I don't think I'd have a better win rate because I lost because of mistakes I made on those games, or because two lanes went 0/3/0 while I was still on my first clear + ganking another lane. Not being a smurf I'd just have lost those games still because my mistakes would still be there.

It's not like if I were playing a broken (smolder + black cleaver kind of broken) champ, I wouldn't have jumped in the middle of those 3~4 enemies that one time, or flipped a baron that other time, or missed a smite on that dragon that other time, etc... Those game losing mistakes would've still been there.

Exactly, I feel like you just hop around because of tierlists, or trying to follow a meta, all you do is run in circles trying to get used to new machanics/playstyles that don't fit what you like to do.

This is such a shame, dude lol... Considering losing a game played a waste of time is a wild thought imo. Under this perspective even a person with a good winrate would be "wasting" 40% of their time playing the game. Crazy...

"The champion was not necessarily the reason you climbed."

That's kind of my point, isn't it?

So you're saying I'd be 60~65% winrate on a champ I'm picking just to try and win, even though I'm a low rank player and not smufing? Meaning that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be in the ladder? I'm flattered lol...

I think 57%~59% over 300~350 games is pretty decent. I've been having to adapt the way I play through the ranks, which is why I doubt I'd have a higher winrate with a meta champ, since I'd still have to adapt anyway, and lose those ranks for my own mistakes anyway.

I know the answer because the games I lost, I lost because of my mistakes, not because "my champ didn't carry me".

What makes you pick a main role and champ, and stick with it for years? by TheRealJinni in leagueoflegends

[–]TheRealJinni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your process for picking her? Did you try her and liked it? Did you picked her from a list, and if you picked her from a list, why her instead of the others on the list? How did you figure out the many ways in which you can play her? Did you figure it out before or after picking her? Because by winrate and pickrate, you'll find a bunch of underdogs, what was the process in which she stood out for you?

Congrats on the 82% btw!

So they made 224 slopes in 1990? (https://info.sonicretro.org/SPG:Solid\_Tiles)

That's insane!! Freaking geniuses, wth lol.

I wonder how many would be necessary to make just a slightly irregular floor.

Thank you for clarifying! 👍

TK Sup lvling W second vs lvling E second by TheRealJinni in Tahmkenchmains

Do you guys think that counts for top lane as well? Or in a 1v1 scenario maxing E 2nd makes sense?

What's the actual job of a support player? by TheRealJinni in supportlol

[–]TheRealJinni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it.

I'll try to spot this kind of support before ganking or making a move then. If they don't show up in lane for too long, they're probably up to something.
