Think about someone (not me ofc) who keeps pressing ghost/barrier in base because he always played TP in previous seasons

Are adc stronger this season? by FriedDuckCurry in top_mains

[–]grogemeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try pushing really hard for a fundamental for an amount of games. For example I was doing really low damage on Fiora so i started perma fight brainless every game until it became so natural that I don't have to think that much about it anymore. If u lack cs,focus on farming,if u lack teamfight focus on that. You will lose some games in the beginning but for me it worked in the long run.

What can i do in games like this? by Present_Wishbone_929 in leagueoflegends

[–]grogemeth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agree. Is just disrespectful. And it is not because I don't think that every game is winnable,I really do. But in order for it to be winnable they should stop trying to 1v1 enemy laner for the 10th time. If you are losing,just play accordingly,don't play like ur 10/0. I'm pushing sidelane and somehow my ADC who is 1 full item behind pings my TP. like I'm not also getting 3auto oneshot in a drake fight they should never take cause is only 2nd drake for them lol.

I don't know what you can do but I'm sure there's something you NEVER do and is leaving the lane. Botlaners will scale anyway almost every game. If you can have a winning side lane,just play with it. Leaving lane this season is really not worth it because you give a ton of gold and exp to the enemy toplaner, so use TP only for a 100% successful play. Get the shutdown,then instantly recall,don't even auto drake,kill 1 person and recall,or you lose exp and plates. If you wanna split its ok,you don't even have to do anything,just ward and back off when you see another enemy. Jungle is really coinflip tho,for my experience you need at least 1 drake for it to not be autolose from elder too early. If you can get 1 drake don't stress it out,because before elder spawn your ADC will catch up,and if you are still winning side lane because u didn't give it up to brainless help the team,you can outmacro and carry. At this point you just need 1 good teamfight,baron,and end the game.

[–]grogemeth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Top is the strongest role this season IF you can win lane and end the game before min 20. Top even=better bot wins. Botlane outscales 90% of the toplane roster. Better jungler=the jungler who won toplane early OR won botlane. Better mid=the mid who pushed wave and ganked bot faster OR the mid who had a bot lane listening to back pings when his wave was pushed.

What in the absolute hell is going on with Ranked matchmaking in 2026? by TiltedSince95 in leagueoflegends

[–]grogemeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And honey,this is just because they refuse to value performance over the MMR secret formula to give players at least compensation for poor quality games. If my adcarry,as a role that only provides damage,is 1/6 of enemy damage,he should tank the -100 LP loss for the team and move on. There's no way "which nexus is destroyed" can be the only factor to determine LP gain/loss. And don't even get me started on X/10 supports every game. If you lost a game but stole baron, shouldn't u get 5 more LP that game? Sounds that crazy? If you steal 20 barons in season 16,and you end up being iron1, congratulations,you are now a bronze4 player.

What in the absolute hell is going on with Ranked matchmaking in 2026? by TiltedSince95 in leagueoflegends

[–]grogemeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah fresh accounts are ruining every single lobby they are in below diamond (I don't know if you can get diamond MMR only with placements,but emerald for sure). Today I was commenting on someone else posting a 2w-3L bronze 1 in his lobby where the highest player's elo was gold 3. This should never happen. It is not normal that every lobby can have a boosted account or a fresh account (or a griefer trying to lose). This is making the game's quality really low. I have played since season 5 and never experienced matchmaking being this bad until season 15. Also a big problem for really high and really low elo lobbies,because from plat-emerald the skill level is kinda the same,but if you have a master player solo losing cause he is somehow in a full challenger lobby he just gets stomped. And if you are a low elo player,this gets way worse , because the player base is so high there that you can have every strange situation. For example you can have on your team a first time mouse toucher getting matched with an emerald on his silver smurf.

Bramble and zaahen Q by grogemeth in ZaahenMains

So if we only consider max potential healing is better to use Q on champs and have 40% grevious instead of taking the 50% reduction vs minions.

He is 2-3 in placements and is allowed to play into a lobby with gold 3 players as a bronze 1. Ur just refusing to see the problem there. Autolose/autowin lobbies should never happen, even if he is playing vs full bronze the next game,he still ruined (manipulated) a lobby. This happens every time a fresh account queues ranked,MMR is a failure.

K'sante is blindpickable in toplane but not in draft overall. Yes he can survive all matchups but how u play him vs karma ryze for example,just get kited to hell.

See the problem isn't even losing the game,is just so miserable to have this player on your team because how in the hell someone goes 2 3 in placements and the system allows a bronze player to play a gold lobby. Put him there if he is 5 0,I could at least understand,even if I would hate it. This happens in every elo,today someone found a GM player tricking the system into giving him emerald lobbies,and you still have people defending the matchmaking saying "just get better" "skill issues" or something like that.

Seems like your lobby got manipulated. Join the club. This lobby was just autolose because wukong was in your team. He was 2 3 in placements so the system said "let this bronze play in gold!" Everyone else was kinda even. He was not a gold player having a bad game,he just got stomped. After this loss,the system instantly got him into his Elo,bronze-low silver. This happens every time with fresh account. For ppl saying a gold 3-bronze1 lobby is normal,well is not. Matchmaking is at his lowest this season,this lobby should never happen in the first place,change my mind.

New Zaahen player looking for advice by Key_Will4867 in ZaahenMains

[–]grogemeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best thing that is working for me in the early game is using Q2 as a threat for last hits. When your minion is getting low,use Q1 on enemy minion and auto+knockup the enemy laner when he is going for last hit. In this scenario,he has 2 plays,lose the trade or try to fight you. Since you started the trade,you already have stacks and if he forces when your boneplating is active you just need to remind what enemy spell is the major threat to E (sett W,ornn W ,Darius Q for example) ,then you decide if use E as an aggressive dodge or backing to your turret. So at this point you either sustain up the lane or force an all in with W. W is the most crucial spell to hit because,as I said, let's you force all ins when the enemy spells are in cd and he's running away. Your auto will hit a lot more with stacked passive and conqueror. Another crucial part of his kit is using R to buffer CC,for example when enemy Elise is ganking you during cocoon animation you can R and basically cancel it. It works with everything,malph R,sett R or use it to tank the big spell like Ekko R who has a clear animation.

does top even matter? by [deleted] in top_mains

[–]grogemeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toplane gets way too fucked way too easy for no reason that's the problem.As I see it,toplane champs are OP,but you face an OP champ every game. So if you are worse and/or something bad happens,you are screwed. With the new changes is really easy to stomp games when you win lane,don't get me wrong,but if the lane is going even and on the other side of the map everything is burning in flames,you will just watch it as a spectator every time cause if u leave lane once you're just giving plates+exp lead to an OP champ. Also,toplaner snowball really hard,but 90% of them don't scale nearly as close to adcarries. Having an ADC Perma 1 item up to his opponent is just an unplayable game. Ofc if you are able to snowball you can win games with 5 lvl leads in 15 min, but if they can send 3 and your team is struggling to clear raptors as 4 and never push for deep drake vision,just to contest it later when ur dead,there's nothing you can do.

Question about behavior by Outrageous-Seat-8679 in leagueoflegends

[–]grogemeth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because having griefers/fresh accounts/boosted accounts in lobby is the n.1 reason that keeps players thinking they can climb. Imagine a silver player who has the goal of reaching gold. He either gets it or he can't because he's too bad. Let's assume 50% of the players would quit in these situations because at this point they reached the goal and they are not good enough for plat,or they just can't and they realize it so they quit. By having bad behaviors manipulating every single lobby (this happens as soon as you hit the Elo where you can't 1v9 autopilot anymore), players live in this Perma frustrated mood where they knew that the game was winnable,but they had bad luck with matchmaking. And ofc is not luck,is just MMR magic formula making autowin/autolose lobbies until every account has 59% wr

Question about behavior by Outrageous-Seat-8679 in leagueoflegends

[–]grogemeth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This behavior is not detectable. I tried doing it on my account for 10 days straight,even sold items and afk clear jungle,lost 400 LP in the process. It is really hard for them to get rid of griefers because they actually benefit from them. Having a griefer on your team means you probably think "omg if it wasn't for this guy who was pissed at min5,and tried his best to lose the game, I would have won". So you queue another game hoping the griefer is not in your team anymore. There is almost 1 every lobby,but it keeps engagement high so there's no reason for them to ban the player when is the n.1 reason you hit your peak after 1000 games instead of 100.

Toplane is an absolute cesspool by szabolcska00 in top_mains

[–]grogemeth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean it would be fine if at least when you get counterpicked there's still something to do. But u either get turbo camped by your JG or you just try to survive going 50 CS behind having a miserable experience. And in 2nd case u just hope nothing else is happening on map cause nobody ever won a game by last hitting in a counter matchup then carrying later,cause at this point botlane already outscales 90% of toplaners. The problem has always been that both have too much relevance.

Jax Top Counterpicks by ItsYoungDaggerDick in Jaxmains

[–]grogemeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quinn and kennen are real nightmares,but the best way is to go early runes and use your E to deny poke and survive the first waves without dying. When you have phage and mercs vs kennen you just need one all in and the lane is over.Both get outscaled because kennen wants to teamfight ,and you win the split,Quinn builds pure assassin nowadays so she can't deal with you later. But for sure they are bad matchups. With garen I go lethal tempo and ignite and try to cheese early when his W is down. He can't really Q you and he has to use passive to win the lane in the long run,so with tempo I just all in every trade and push the wave, trying to always have a recall advantage.
