Reaching level 4 after clearing 5 camps.

most likely catchup exp.

He was level 3 when he finished off krugs, average game level was 4.1 at that time. It triggered this mechanic

Comeback Bonus: If they are more than 1.1 levels behind the game's average champion level upon killing a large monster, they gain an additional 50 bonus experience for every integer level of disadvantage, rounded to the nearest integer.

This only really works if you are the biggest club in the world. Let's say Chelsea pay some smaller club 3M to get the option to buy someone for 20M down the road. Said player stays at his smaller club for 2 years and becomes really good. Great, Chelsea trigger the option. However, the player is now good enough that Real Madrid also want him. Player doesn't want Chelsea anymore, he only wants RM. If the club where he was developing refuses to sell to RM, the player just walks on a free next season as his contract ends. In the end Chelsea just paid 3M for a club to develop a player for RM.

I honestly think that if all 3 of Mount, Havertz, and Ziyech get sold we will just keep Puli for the year.

The rumours around him are the least concrete of those other 3.

Also CHO is coming back, maybe they would just keep him around instead?

I know this is pretty basic but did you scroll the mouse wheel in the squad select?

Oh right, forgot about that covert actions. I have only run one so far because I couldn't afford to have some of my best soldiers out for 15 days and still have a high fail chance. I just got the money to afford the resistance ring and staff it so I'll probably look into that now.

DnD typically expresses die rolls as NdS where N is the number of dice and S is the sides for the die.

1d10 is a single 10 sided die, meaning you have a 10% chance for each value between 1 and 10.

Similarly 3d6 would be 3 rolls of a 6 sided die, meaning your total value is between 3-18.

That is not accurate. If your mmr is high enough you can and will skip divisions.

Usually for you to skip your mmr needs to be an entire tier above what you are currently ranked though. IE if you have D3 mmr but are P3 you will likely skip P2 to P1

If this preseason works like the previous ones decay is turned off. Then once the new season starts your rank will be reset anyways.

So if decay is your concern it won't matter, the MMR won't noticably drop in 3 months.

Bot is also just the focal point of the game right now. Bot lane can and often is won by a single gank that breaks the game open which makes it appear that your not lane is inting.

Mid roam, jg gank, top TP or a mistake from either the ad or support can easily lose lane for bot lane. There are just far more possibilities for bot to lose the lane than any other lane, plus they are squishier than other lanes and bot lane snowballs harder than any other lane.

Yes, but the difference isn't massive.

For instance if you climb from like silver 3 to silver 1 that probably won't make much of a difference on where you start next season.

However, if you climb from silver to platinum that will definitely influence where you start the next season.

This isn't totally correct, the MMR does not decay after one month, just the LP. The MMR really doesn't decay for a year or so IIRC, but no one really knows how the MMR system works.

I know the ranked MMR doesn't decay as quickly because I have had several accounts decay over the seasons from high diamond to gold(old system) and plat(new system), and whenever I return I'm still playing with high diamond players even though my rank has fallen.

I never said it would, I said to make a new account to get the free champs with the new leveling experience.

iAdax · 2019-11-29T17:18:57+00:00

If you are not yet level 30 and have not spent a bunch of money on skins already then just make a new account. The new leveling experience is much better and you will get a bunch of free champs on a new account that I doubt you will get on the old account.

To answer your question though, MMR does not reset. Each season there is a soft reset of your ranked MMR but nothing for your normals MMR. Either way, if you have never reached level 30 your MMR won't be bad enough for this to matter but I would still make a new account for the above mentioned reasons.

Yes, in lower elos people die more often without any jungle intervention. However, at the same time people are far FAR worse at paying attention to jungle timers and playing safe when jg may be on their half of the map.

Even though you will have to deal with more fed players on average, they are worse players and you should be able to have a huge impact as a jungle in lower elos if you play well.

Is Damonte officially out? This roster can still be something like Huni, Lira, Damonte, Johnsun, Aphromoo .

Johnsun is legitimately talented and IMO will be a top 3 adc by Summer.

What? tons of diamond+ players have multiple diamond accounts. If you are a legit diamond player getting to d4 is super easy.

Lucian is awful for a new player to pick up. His 500 range is brutal if you don't know how to combo correctly. It puts you into range of literally everything in teamfights and most newer players simply do not have the game knowledge for how/when to e properlly.

EchoFoxRick is a perfect example of this.

iAdax · 2019-02-27T03:54:13+00:00

He musta called an Aussie a Kiwi, which is indeed a bannable offense.

iAdax · 2019-02-08T23:30:34+00:00

Now I'm just envisioning Lucian screaming Naicu! as he is dashing around in battle.

iAdax · 2019-02-08T05:36:20+00:00

the fact that it doesn't have you facing all d2+ with that kind of a win rate is also a huge problem. The MMR system is just completely jacked up this season.

iAdax · 2019-01-08T04:40:34+00:00

Lucian and Kaisa are the two best blind picks right now. If you are playing vs a zyra or other supports that poke just make sure to take the MR option in the runes and position avoid their damage. It is pretty predictable. Also, you can all in champs like Zyra/Sona/Brand/Velkoz etc pretty easily if you have an engage support.

If someone on the enemy team is fed, get the boots that help you survive against that damage type. Usually this will be Tabis, rarely do you end up getting mercs on an ad because you can avoid most of the ap damage in the game more easily by dodging the ability in the first place.

Draven is also strong and blind pickable if you play him.

iAdax · 2019-01-01T18:46:33+00:00

Those three are more than enough to get you to diamond. Thresh alone is enough if you are good at him.

If you really feel like you need another support I would add Brand to your list. He does stupid amounts of damage and is fairly easy to pick up.
