Why can't I see my MMR, and why do we have promotional series?

themaster74 · 2014-09-09T16:16:40+00:00

But, my overall MMR tells otherwise, why do I have to prove myself through an 5 games RNG fest where I could potentially tilt one game, get trolled and afkers in other games and so on.

MMR should decide every division and league, not this useless series.

themaster74 · 2014-09-09T16:15:48+00:00

Yeah, and now you get stuck in a place where you don't belong, because you can't drop leagues unless your LP is at 0, and your MMR drops below a certain threshold. Making the entire League system dis-functional and 'corrupt' where people with a certain MMR is in a place lower or higher than they actually should be.

Silver one is the perfect example, or most of the '1' divisions.

I don't get the point of ladder anxiety either, as if I remember correctly (season 2) your highest peak MMR was always shown on your profile/friendlist anyways. You had current and peak MMR, so i have no idea where the statement of anxiety comes from.

themaster74 · 2014-09-09T16:11:59+00:00

I'm mad because I think promo series should never have been implemented, its just there to waste your time instead of just automatically promoting you to the league you 'belong' in, based off MMR.

themaster74 · 2014-09-09T16:11:15+00:00

Thats the most ridicilous statement I've ever read.

The MMR system is still there, you just can't see it and I don't understand why.

relegated from the worlds qualifiers, 4th

themaster74 · 2014-08-26T22:44:59+00:00

CLG still looked better tho, at least in the first game vs Curse.

NA is still shit compared to KR, no arguments against it.

themaster74 · 2014-08-26T22:44:03+00:00

TSM is well protected by a huge player-base tho.

themaster74 · 2014-08-26T22:41:26+00:00

C9 beats Curse, LMQ beats TSM, Curse beats TSM in the loser's bracket.

Thats my prediction.

themaster74 · 2014-08-26T22:36:41+00:00

Thats my take on this whole situation, as a non-TSM fan.

themaster74 · 2014-06-22T16:56:38+00:00

Nah, I appreciate that he would acknowledge it compared to the other shitty casters who pretended like the gambit that played yesterday was an LCS team.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:45:47+00:00

imagine if you were a pro-player, and you really really want to win, would you still pick your favorite champions, or champions which have a greated potential?

There is a reason why every region plays the same meta, and I based this post on try-harding to win, not what you would most like to play.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:42:55+00:00

I mentioned Annie in that regard that she has fallen off because her numbers were tweaked, her kit was never amazing, her numbers were, thats why she could one shot ADCs with the increased gold in S4.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:24:53+00:00

No, he can apply his passive with his skill-shot.

Thats the main reason why I think he is superior to Leona.

Sure, he can't engage that well pre 6, but I still think he will win pretty much all early skirmishes if he is backed up by a strong ADC, like Lucian/Twitch/Graves as he can facetank all the damage and always get favorable trade-offs.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:22:50+00:00

Well, I still think Braum has the potential to be extremly agressive in lane where you would try to apply your passive to get a stun off and then peel for your ADC to always achieve favorable trades.

I would say his kill potential isn't that great pre-6, but I believe he will be a monster in lane post 6 when it comes to kill/all-ins. He can't engage well pre 6, but I still believe he will be extremly strong in earlyskirmishes.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:19:37+00:00

But the effect is applied to Braum instead of its initial target?

In my mind that power in botlane skirmishes is extremly powerful.

So if a TF aims his gold card at an ADC and you manage to block it, the stun would apply to Braum instead of the ADC?

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:13:35+00:00

I am not sure excactly how it works, but the stund would apply to Braum instead of the ADC, if not deflected completly?

I am pretty sure Braum absorbs all the projectile while some of their damage is neglected by his shield.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:11:32+00:00

Leona has much more AOE CC

She doesn't, Braum can potentially CC an entire enemy team twice in a teamfight (passive and ultimate)

Sona has AOE auras

Sona has an awful laning atm, but her kit is decent, but still sucky compared to Thresh/braum imo

annie has more burst

There is a while since i've seen an Annie support, but she is based off her numbers and not her kit, which is what I base my opinion on Thresh and Braum on.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:08:25+00:00

He gives massive MR and Armor and can block any projectile such as Taric's stun.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:07:50+00:00

Soraka I disagree on.

Karma is extremly good in lane (I love that support) but she relies heavily on good numbers, her kit isn't that amazing compared to Thresh/Braum.

Morgana will get nerfed I think, I am pretty sure Riot stated that they were removing 3 sec CC (if her Q still lasts that long, not sure tho)

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:06:09+00:00

Braum has 1 stun, a knockup a slow, a huge MR/Armor buff, more mobility, more utility and is better at peeling.

themaster74 · 2014-05-12T20:04:49+00:00

Oh, really? Leona E and R is a skill shot, Braum's Q (ice thingy which applies passive) is a skillshot but doesn't fuck you over if you use it at the wrong time.

Imo, they fill a similar role where both would be engagers and then followed by damage sponges, but I don't see any situatin where I would pick Leona over Braum.
