Kinda seems a little crazy you get flamed for dying once in an early 1v1?

Don’t get me wrong the game is toxic asf but I can’t recall in recent memory anyone flamed for giving first blood unless than face checked an invade or something.

I have played the majority of competitive multiplayer games and LoL is the most toxic by quite a bit. The game is also the most punishing and long-winded by quite a bit with the slowest ranked climb, so no mysteries here.

That being said. It IS rare to have someone actually do something game ruining, with that being their intention from the outset, and most of the flame is moderate-mild. I’m pretty thick skinned and don’t really care about insults, I only mute people who are typing paragraphs of whining because it gets annoying to keep seeing flick across my screen.

Zilean Q. To the point I actually thought it was point & click until I actually played him.

In RANKED ONLY champions should be limited to their designated roles. Wanna play Garen ADC? NOPE. Wanna play Yuumi Mid? NOPE.

I will happily take the loss of freedom for the lack of 0/10 Lethality Jihn mids any day of the week.

The game had less mechanics then, but I get your point. Also don’t forget how long it likely took you to improve. I also had the ARAM Ashe Thornmail tutorial and I played constantly for a year before I even started to climb from Low Bronze. A year to see progress in anything is bonkers. Comparatively, I’ve been learning to play piano and whilst I’m not Beethoven you can see a massive improvement within just a few months.

Tutorials and lessons matter!

I was inspired by this post to try out Quickplay for the first time ever, on a Smurf I am currently levelling.

Yeah I gotta agree. I’m not mad that I lost it just felt… pointless? Like it didn’t represent a real game on any level and was just a complete mess.

• We had a Yi Jungle with Teleport/ Heal who was level 2 at 7 minutes.
• Heal/ Teleport Talon ADC who died 18 times.
• Heal/ Barrier Miss Fortune top who went 0/7

Just like you said, I wasn’t even mad at the players, they clearly were utterly lost what to do, but it made the entire game a cluster fuck of stupidity that teaches you literally nothing.

They should have an optional tutorial segment in the Client.

1. Overview of how to win a game, what towers do, what CS is, summoner spells, how the shop works and how XP works.

2. A short tutorial for each role, including recommended champs for beginners in each role.

3. Advanced tutorials. Things like wave management, rotations, pings, vision, adapting builds and other similar things.

4. Finally, an interactive checklist, you can check off any of the above things when you’re happy you understand them, and are encouraged to keep playing games with the tutorial in mind until you understand.

It’s a large task, but they make billions, so not the craziest of all asks.

Really annoying champion. Every time you interact with her you either dodge E and she’s a minion or she lands E and you don’t get the play the game for 15 seconds.

Rinse repeat indefinitely.

It feels annoying but mathematically you’re still up in gold.

Pretty sure when you ‘unlock’ a champion it becomes a shard that you can unlock for free or disenchant for a lot of essence. You can find it in the client, can’t remember the name of the tab but looks like a little hammer.

Blah I played VS Sion Support Jungle the other day, it was disgusting. He took all one side and I was perma-invaded on the other side. Not only that but the rare times I killed Sion his passive did enough damage that I was never healthy enough to gank. Ended up falling behind by three levels and got abused in text chat by team in a 25 minute loss. Fun.

I find graves pretty good, mained him for a short while. His ganks are subpar but his clear speed is so good and after three items you’re an assassin

For me I gotta say Draven. I’ve been an ADC main most of my time in LoL and even one tricked Draven for like 2 seasons but recently whenever I play him I really don’t feel like a lane bully. Always against a double Exh Ezreal Senna who hug turret for 15 mins as my my other lanes lose and if I dare try harass under turret the jungler is there in a flash.

He’s one of those champions that other teams really build around too. I feel like 50% of my Draven games I’m against a Vi or Rammus Jungle.
