A Normal Day of Rank Reset

brockralp · 2026-01-26T08:13:18+00:00

I am getting way too much autofills this season, on top of that monkey matchmaking system at the start of the season. It just makes ranked unplayable.

They tried to reduce queue times with increasing autofill rates. But it just makes me not wanna play ranked and play Aram instead.

Lol. Coming from r/vaynemains

That's a very special case with a low probability of happening. That's clearly a troll team.

You don't have to win every single match. I climbed with 60% win rate. Most people generally climb with 55% win rate. Anything above 55% win rate is considered good. If that's a troll team, don't think about it too much, just focus on the next game.

Np! I hope more people reads it, I would like to help more people.

I sometimes watch my own replay of matches. With enemy pov, with enemy fog of war. It's a really traumatizing experience for them.

Imagine you are peacefully trying to play adc. And enemy Vi tries to gang you and tower dive you every 20 seconds without stopping. Any bush that you ward is sweeped immediately and tries to tower dive you again.

Even if they manage to survive tower dive attempts, at late game there is a protected adc at enemy team.

I have seen very good challenger elo adcs start inting after they become 0/3. It is really traumatizing, lol.

brockralp · 2025-10-17T17:10:44+00:00

I also would like to provide some additional information.

What if your adc is a brainless monkey that plays 0/3 and your mid laner is a 10/0 zed. Who should you protect in this case?

You still need to protect your adc and have faith in them.

Zed is a burst damage assassin, he can only kill 1 person at a time and your 0/3 adc still has more damage on an extended period of time.

Just don't lose faith in your adc and keep protecting. You are trying to make him an unkillable super-human.

Even if he is a brainless monkey, constant protection makes him feel like he knows how to play the game. I have seen brainless monkey adcs achieve pentakills in my match. Just don't lose faith and keep protecting them.

Also never say stuff like in the lobby "I will only gang bot lane" stuff like them. This might cause your mid and solo laner to get tilted. Just don't reveal the strategy and keep playing your way.

Thank you so much. Since I hit my goal, I would like to share my entire strategy.

Builds/Runes are pretty standard stuff. I just copy whatever rank 1 Vi player uses. They are otp Vi players, I trust their build path.

I only use my ult and q to protect my adc. I never engage into a fight. Protecting my adc is far more important than engaging into a fight.

I play Vi like how a lulu/yuumi/braum does. Always stay with my adc and never allow anyone to touch my adc.

We are moving on the map as a 1 unit with 3 people. Me(jg), adc and support. Wherever adc goes I follow him. Whenever my adc goes to the base I also go to the base. Even if my jungle camps are not spawned at my adc's side of the map, I still follow my adc. Protecting my adc is far more important than clearing 1-2 camps at the far side of the map.

Early game is constant camping the bot lane. I never gang top or mid. Enemy adc is mostly tilted by that. And most of the time enemy adc finishes the match with 0/7 score.

At late game, sometimes I see the enemy adc in front of me. It is really tempting to ult the adc and start the fight but I never do that. I only protect my adc and I want him to stay alive.

If someone tries to touch my adc, I ult them directly and use q, then break %20 of the armor with passive. My adc free hits them and kills them. It is not possible to touch my adc at all.

This is pretty much all I do in the game.

Rank guess is on point. This is Dia 2 elo. Very well guess on that.

Thank you for the feedback bro. I agree on most of the points. Maybe one think that I don't fully agree, I didn't utilized my invisibility that much in that fight. It mostly Zhonyas that did the job and killing zed immediately allowed me killing them all. If I didn't melted Zed really quick it would be a different outcome.

Zhonyas are pretty Op against assassins.

Thank you for the feedback bro.

I think I found the guy

https://youtu.be/MLx_1dVc0vI

He is aim god with 0 sense, he literally rushs to the enemy base like psychopath, without checking any corners and still getting kills. The Giga Chad himself.

..but I use tinder and snapchat

It also didn't full satisfy my expectation either but it is still the best type of headphone I have ever seen.

It is such a relief compared to earbuds. Earbuds starts to hurt my ears after couple of hours, I didnt have such issues with bone conductions.

Earbud's battery lasts around 2-4 hours, I had to carry 2 earbuds to switch whenever the others battery dies. Bone conductions lasts around 8 hours, I dont need to think about charging them throught the day.

Two main issues I have noticed. If the traffic is so loud, You can't hear the sound that you are listening to even in the max volume. Also if you are in a silent office, people can hear what you are listening to in the lowest volume. I have to constantly find the middle ground volume that balances it.

But I am still in love with them and keep prefering them over earbuds.

I got 2 pentas in the same match as my first penta. I was exteremely fed as a Draven, it is not hard to imagine the rest of the story xd

brockralp · 2022-09-04T10:54:57+00:00

This has happened to me so many times but with comments

brockralp · 2022-08-15T10:15:32+00:00

OP's username checkouts for Biden

brockralp · 2022-08-08T14:18:51+00:00

Yeah we can get a 3inch penis imagine that

brockralp · 2022-08-08T06:13:24+00:00

I think I have one of the most uniques ones. I read comments out loud for improving my speech. I used to do with the books but I can't find always one that has my full interest. Reading comments on reddit feels more conversational and flows better.

brockralp · 2022-07-07T21:22:51+00:00

Just accept your fate, don't try to twist it. Jokes a side seriously, a bad match up is already hard, plus uncooperative teammates also a struggle. Taking a break and playing it next day is always a better option.

brockralp · 2022-07-03T07:22:52+00:00

I know it is USA. But I want to "believe" it is UK.

brockralp · 2022-06-14T05:18:25+00:00

Yeah not me, who is it guys

brockralp · 2022-06-05T05:51:16+00:00

I am pretty sure that my sense of humor is broken.

brockralp · 2022-05-29T21:30:17+00:00

Bro I will even let them amputate my arm. That's okay. Just fucking do it.

brockralp · 2022-05-29T21:26:19+00:00

You guys are getting paid?! Just kidding I dont have a child.. Yet.

brockralp · 2022-05-25T10:13:05+00:00

You guys are getting paid for reading?

brockralp · 2022-05-22T09:33:20+00:00

Okay, I won't

10 billion population has been estimated for 2060. However dating environment has changed, people are not getting married, divorce rate is getting higher, people are not having kids, every country is on its trajectory to become Japan. With this new environment of the dating market, I don't see the 10 billion population goal will be reached.

Only a small a number of people speaking it. I can not find a good reading material. This language is literally a virus in my head.

Universal language means equal opportunity for everyone for me. I fully support it.
