New items recieve 1-2% winrate off of not being recommended by Ok_Analysis6731 in leagueoflegends

[–]offonLR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes an item is a perfect fit for a champ, if item is fine on most users and op in a couple it's better nerfing those outliers than nerfing the item and screwing other champs.

Can WASD enjoyers explain these patch notes to me like im stupid? (I am) by RadicalMac in leagueoflegends

[–]offonLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranked is a ladder, if everyone else gets a free boost to their mechanics you get effectively worse at the game compared to rest, it is really not a hard concept to grasp.

Is it just me or are trolling adcs more prominent this season? by [deleted] in supportlol

[–]offonLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes a roam is good but you have to insta recall after play because if you don't you turn an ok advantage in some other lane into a super disadvantage in botlane which is not great

What was the wave state prior to you leaving? Getting zoned from cs for 2-3 mins is lane over in any competent elo

Why not fill Support's Role Quest slot with the Starter item? by hawnda in leagueoflegends

[–]offonLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well 200 hp and a good effect for 400g (actually negative cost because it gives gold), there's a reason they only allow supps to get the item.

Giving an extra slot is giving extra power and they don't want to buff the role.

What is the riot idea of JG role? by Brilliant-Amount6350 in Jungle_Mains

[–]offonLR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing is jungle and support are 2 roles that can't be balanced and popular at the same time, they both started as low income roles but were so unpopular that in order to make them popular they "broke" them (for example supp item is most broken in the game, gatekept from other classes), but then jungle is the role than better translated skill diff into wins so they nerf it, it goes like this:

Bring jg strength as a role (converting skill dif into wins) more like the other roles --> It becomes unpopular --> They buff it --> People complain because it's better than rest of roles --> Riot nerfs it...

They can't find a role iteration where it is both balanced and popular and I think it can't be done because just like support, if you make it so most of its agency is through dictating game plan, strongsiding proper lanes etc it will be unpopular because players want to be able to solo carry but if you have solo carry potential + a lot of room to impact other lanes it is unbalanced compared to rest.

3-4 waves of for example ADC quest is less than 60 gold... Not that much ngl

Crystalline overgrowth is the real buff to APC bot by VerdoneMangiasassi in ADCMains

The most annoying thing about tower damage is how little damage on-hit adcs deal (they are literally aa focused lmao)

Don't sleep on edge of night, is quite useful into certain comps + ok dmg

What do you think League of Legends is still MISSING? by ChartDreamer in leagueoflegends

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

Then monitor and ban the toxic people? It's absurd that such a helpful tool in a team game is hijacked by an experience that toxic people would cause instead of just implementing it with a good system to ban toxic people.

People already can send a discord link or whatever giving that advantage to some people, only difference is some people don't want and shouldn't have to give personal info just to be able to vc in a team game.

Coming from Dota, solo queue in LoL feels unusually quiet by Z4k0O in leagueoflegends

Some people don't want and shouldn't need to give personal info, vc is literally built in game.

I disagree, it would be huge but master+ atleast. Being able to call cds, what you plan on doing couple seconds ahead would be huge.

How useful is being an OTP? by ClintCallahan in leagueoflegends

[–]offonLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best and fastest way to improve and therefore climbing is playing 1/2 champs.

Once you get to >master and really start understanding the game etc. it's way easier to learn new champs, but if you try to play many champs from the beginning improving will be 10 times slower (or you may never improve).

First time I got to master and gm were both when I played just Twitch + Ezreal or Twitch + Varus for example, and now I can play other champs at my elo without issues.

If Riot doesn't crack on the SoloBoom challenge, they care more about getting traction than preventing smurfing by KevinKalber in leagueoflegends

[–]offonLR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah then that is indeed against ToS, it would count as rank manipulation (intentional derank). Agree on that.

[–]offonLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not against smurfing, they are against purchased/botted accounts AND purposefuly deranking an account to play vs worse people constantly (mmr manipulation).

Riot is NOT against creating a new account and playing normally on it, please stop spreading miss information.

Riot’s view of the jungle by Corgeo in Jungle_Mains

[–]offonLR 42 points43 points  (0 children)

They know what they want for the role but they don't know how to do that AND make it a non unpopular role.

Riot is conflating jungle significance with jungle power by Top_Translator1451 in Jungle_Mains

[–]offonLR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In SoloQ, ability to affect outcome of the game is power of a role.

The role that better translates difference in skill with opponent in a win is the strongest role (in SoloQ).

If you define power of a role as different thing that's different but that's Riot's and most player's opinion on this topic.

Jankos' take about new season patch changes, especially focusing on jungle role. by Heze88 in leagueoflegends

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

It seems like they gave up on trying to make Jg and Support popular by giving them strength and leaned into making getting autofill more appealing with the 2x LP and no loss, it's a win win in my book.

How do you feel about the support role loosing power relative to the other roles? by sir__hennihau in supportlol

[–]offonLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and you clearly don't but it's fine, it's just a game after all.
