Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

ELO doesn't determine skill level, yet you seem to believe it does.
How's it feel getting carried to gold by Riot? Must feel pretty good, huh?



Coming from the guy who said Singed is a monster at farming, yet using his main farming skill in lane is prohibited?
Also this "hostility" wouldn't happen if you didn't have this "I'm right and you're wrong, because my ELO says so." attitude.

1) Elo is a fairly accurate determination of skill. I belong roughly in the 1500-1600 range. (Maybe 1700?) Why? Because I don't stomp peaches with scores like 20/5 every game here. If you're truly better than what your elo says, then you will absolutely gain rating over your games. Leavers/trolls or not, you will certainly stomp them. I've done it. Saintvicious has done it. bigfatjiji has done it. Everyone has.

Also, I never mentioned gold. Gold or not, I'm still in the top 3ish% of LoL players. Close to 5% if you count only those who are 1250+.

2) Common knowledge; you generally do not poison trail in lane. Oh you can argue certain situations. But over half the time, pushing Q is not the right choice.

Aynia, what is your ign btw?

And TBH I think WillDaSnail should deserve a higher elo than he currently is. Maybe if you land your bandage tosses more.

Probably not tbh. Last time I played in 1100-1300 range on a friend's account, I was scoring 20/5/x scores on Akali consistently.

From what I can gather, he has a ways to go on building amumu (that and amumu is a common ban anyway) because he doesn't maximize on his eHP with the items he gets. LoL is a game of min maxing, though said min maxing will be different every game, there are simply two ways to build a champion. Optimally and sub optimally.

Pretty nice considering the account I was playing on was running 6 AD Reds and only 1 AP Quint for runes.
