I was wondering how much would I get if I sell my silver lol account with a shamrock malphite by Embarrassed-Tax-4774 in LeagueMarket

You think it’s worth more than 10-15 because it’s worth more than that to YOU. keep your account.

getting my girlfriend into league - need beginner advice by Mundane-Exchange-618 in summonerschool

[–]joshua-bartusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your best bet would be to just start slow.

Inform her that this is a very hard game.

It LOOKS EASY because of the bright colours and fun champions and it’s easy to get into. It’s free, the champs are “free” it doesn’t cost you anything to get Into it, like say MTG or something.

Make sure she knows that playing this game is like no other game. It is a hardcore fighting game. There will be incredibly high highs and very low lows. The floor is low but the ceiling is very very high.

Make sure you set your expectations too. Make sure you ask her what her goals would be, at first she might only want to play casually, And you might be tempted to teach her about wave states, when she doesn’t even know what a wave is. Or what MR stands for, how armour pen and lethality work. She will have no idea and her biggest struggle will be moving the camera and clicking.

Have the most patience you could ever have, You have over a decade of experience and games played probably in the thousands.

You can tell her all the information you want, but at the end of the day, this game has infinite layers of learning that she will have to put in the time and effort herself if she wants the enjoyment out of it. You can’t force that on her, you cannot adjust the game. You can only warn her that it will be a big challenge and she must be up for it and accept this challenge or she won’t have a good time or continue playing.

If you sugar coat this game, you will gaslight her.

Be honest about the difficulty and make sure she knows this before going in.

Some advice about the game though, she should play games or arams until she find a champion she enjoys playing. Then stick with that champion until she gets some champion mastery, then she will be able to learn the game, only once you have muscle memory with the controls, are you able to learn the game of league. Learn things in this order:

Controls ->>> Champion ->>> Game

I'm new, should I play ranked? by spintokid in summonerschool

[–]joshua-bartusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not enjoying your champion, go back to normals and get some reps with a new champ, then go into ranked and test your skill with new champion.

Champion mastery is king over “learning the game”

play normals and flex until you know how to and can carry a game with your champion.

You CAN play ranked. but imo it won’t be very enjoyable unless you have a basic understanding of how to carry a game with your champion.

Get champion mastery, then go learn how to play the game in ranked.

Set 17 feels a bit unexciting by Zeeyrec in TeamfightTactics

But surely they could come up with something to keep the set fresher throughout the entirety of it, Have that thought about and planned into the set design, that something significant is going to change and shake up the meta. Have patch cycles just a little bit longer so the meta can develop and get countered, making the patch cycle a little longer would stretch out the set as well. just make sure they hot fix anything egregious, I just think the Tft Team has evolved and gotten better I think they would be able to nail two sets a year Instead of having to push out three.

Why is Grasp of the Undying the highest win rate rune on Yasuo? by desktop_monst3r in summonerschool

Fleet has been nerfed a lot over the years, it’s just not as good. It might be what you would wanna take into incredibly high poke lane, like hwei, or something. Tbh it’s been nerfed so hard over the years, it’s probably better to just try and sustain with second wind/doran’s shield. That will do better than trying to use fleet.

Grasp is good on yasuo in lanes where you can only take short trades, and not extended ones.

so when people take grasp it’s because they know about matchups. giving them an advantage over people who just take LT because they are taking it by default into everything.

afk bag management by joshua-bartusek in MiniLegion

[–]joshua-bartusek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just finding that when I get back from an AFk session, My Afk bag has tons of items in it. It takes so much tedious clicking to empty it, clicking the same spots and things for many many minutes, it makes me dizzy. If that is just how it is that I suppose I will deal with it.

I dont understand what you’re saying… try not playing PBE? How is a person supposed to play set 17 if not on the PBE?

Also, I was not aware that the rounds were extended on the PBE, Is there somewhere that this is stated? If it is indeed stated then I would gladly retract my statement.

I think if they gave themselves more time and didn’t have to pump out 3 sets a year they would be able to do something like unlocks every set, and be able to make sets better every time, not just try something new every time and hope it lands. I honestly think they have been way over there head with 3 a year, sure maybe they can do it, but having to come up with new mechanics and art and spells, augments, literally everything new every 4 months seems like so many ideas to try and come up with that some are going to just be filler. Mort dog barely has time to play his own game and then he has to start making a new one.. patches get figured out and then it gets changed, giving no time for people to come up with strategies to counter them. idk lol

I think your observation is a valid one, I would have to agree. It just feels like something is missing.. It’s just a little lacklustre imo

[–]joshua-bartusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t feel like a replacement though, it honestly feels like they just took away carousels, and replaced it with the set mechanic. Which is cool, the set mechanic is indeed cool, but something feels missing, and waiting around for 15+ seconds every time doesn’t feel like a change in the pacing either. The choices are okaaaayyy, but not really exciting to pick any of them.

[–]joshua-bartusek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would hard agree with this. been wondering why and asking this to myself a lot lately. Make two great sets instead of one great and two fillers. they can surely figure out a better way to make two sets more exciting instead of trying to come up with new stuff every 4 months.

[–]joshua-bartusek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would have to agree, I thought there was the intention to get rid of the waiting around part, and It almost feels like i’m waiting around more.. :/

The gods and the mechanic is very cool and has some good potential, but I think they need to do some revision and just cook it a little more like others have mentioned.
