Um, Yay? (I don't know what this is)
Also, anyone been having troubles with the game launching after teams picking their champs? I've had to exit the game and reload 4-5 times in the last couple nights...

3/4 ranked games won. I'm beginning to feel the pressure people get in this mode.

Oh, don't worry, eventually you'll hit an amazing lucky streak (assuming you know which games to dodge).
For example, I won 9/10 of my past ranked games.

You all know that your league/tier/division != Skill no?
Matchmaking is still handled by a Hidden Elo/MMR.

I don't think the game can truly measure my skill after the 10 placement games it took to put me in a tier full of retards. I only did 8 games since then and I have serious trouble carrying when my team goes 0/6 after 5 minutes.

Dodging makes you lose Lp.

-I guess, there's a fucking ton of factors that the "Elo" system can't really account for while measuring the skill level of someone. It mostly have to do with this game being team centric and the elo system designed to be used for individual measure of skills/games.
-Yes too, first dodge in a 24 hour period is mostly "Free", 6min timer and 3lp loss, Dodges after that will reset the counter to 24 hours while increasing the dodge timer to 30min and reducing 10lp per dodge. But like i said, LP/Tier/Division/League have "mostly" nothing to do with skill. (Said mostly because its more probable that the skilled players will be in the higher tiers)
Besides dodging a match is like admitting or assuming a match will end in a lost, so instead of losing 30-50min in game + LP, you just lose some LP since you can wait the 6-30min doing something else.

You lose 3 pathetic RP. I'd rather lose 3 LP and 5 minutes rather than ~20 LP and 45 minutes.
Not to mention I gain 19 LP per match, so I'm still playing the same amount of matches to reach 100 LP even if I dodge 4 games.

Has anyone tried Twin Shadows if you're supporting against Twitch and Vayne? In theory it reveals them when they stealth but I don't know how beneficial that is.

I tend to shy away from it given that a tank can just block the ghost.

Where did I say I would get it instead of core items? I run every gold rune possible, I get gold relatively quickly when I play support.

Your laning phase lasts long enough to get Sight stone, phil stone, kage's lucky pick, boots, and wards?

950 + 520 + 765 + 350 is 2585, it takes roughly 15-20 minutes if I don't CS or get any kills or assists, which is rare considering I usually play Taric and my ADs usually don't have the mechanics to get most of the CS. This isn't exactly stretching it, people are reluctant to leave lanes in bronze unless they're playing mid.

So pretty much all I play anymore is ARAM (Really hoping that 6v6 ARAM queue hits soon)
Being the carry on a 4 support team is a warm, fuzzy thing.

For team totals, they actually did a few thousand more champion damage than we did. Yet we outkilled them by 24. Har.
