It meant clg and huhi were qualified for worlds and they would have to beat IMT.... Again to go.
Wouldn't you be upset?
shite. Compound the fact that riot screwed them out of having both impact and rush. There's a legit possibility that losing to tsm cost them a shot at worlds. Really sucks for the 2nd best midlander in NA.

Well there's that. Then there's also the fact that he gave up a very quick first blood to Bjerg (and assist to Sven) by doing a tactic that was common knowledge.
Not that the loss was his fault, but I'd imagine that weighed heavy on his mind that he solely gave the early game advantage away in the mid lane.
ETA: I felt like his demeanor represented more than just disappointment that they have to run a gauntlet to make worlds.
He looked personally devastated like he was blaming himself for it all (which it isn't at all his fault)

I mean, this is what I've been dealing with for 2 weeks now

Well, I just made Silver 2 after a 10-1 record over my last 11 ranked games. Maybe you are doing me a favor by giving me all of your good luck???
Thanks buddy.
I'd like to reach gold. 4 wins. Promo. 5 wins. Gold.
So... at 60% win rate. I'll need 20-30 games.
I could maybe squeak that many in 3 weeks.
How much longer do I have before the season ends?

The Link predicts Nov 11th. Says it's ended in November for the last 4 years. That being the case, you have over 2 months.

I finally broke and have been logging on to my other level 30 off and on over the last week or so. Already Silver 3 and 17-3 in my last 20 games, 10-1 in ranked games, playing exclusively adc mainly due to runepage constraints. Idk what happened but I'm getting fed like every game now. Averaging 10 kills per game over the last 20. Maybe adc is a bit more viable now for soloq now that the super bruiser shite is over? It just feels easier to snowball a lead as adc now. Just when I think I'm out....

It's like Heroin
I don't have any meta argument as to why adc is the way it is, but I do know 80% of the games I play, seem to have one side of the bot lane getting absolutely butt fricked while the other side gets ridiculously fed.

As far as laning goes, bot lane is super snowbally if you know what you're doing. Once you get a lead you can choke the other adc completely out if you maintain lane control. That's never really been an issue. Most of the problems I ran into is translating that into effective power outside of laning phase, which has been going much better since I came back. Maybe it's just Ezreal being strong, or maybe it's the meta.

Silver adcs don't know how to dodge ezreal poke. They also want to be doublelift and will continue to get killed by overextending for cs.
Don't be the bad bot lane and it's easy.

That's every lane. in Silver and Gold. Wanna be LCS all-star that is constantly trying to 1 v everyone all the time

I'm tired of getting a ton of lane pressure and having the adc just hard push into tower and be DOWN in cs. Wtf.
Freeze. Make them come out from under tower so we can get kills. Deny cs. Something. Omg I really hate dumb players.

I need to learn wave control and manipulation. I know a lot of people shove lane into tower to reset it or unfreeze it.
If you play it right, yall can pull off a dive into a pushed lane.

A lot of good videos out there about setting up freezes, minions required for slow push or pull.
In a lot of games that I play with y'all, you'll see me prep a wave and rotate to team fight, and after we win the fight, we (magically) have a big minion wave pushing into the tower.
Easy explanation is to leave a few cs to slow your minions. Most people are greedy and want that extra 50 gold, but by leaving 3 caster minions undamaged, your minions pile up and push the lane without a champ.

The other thing is to recognize when the other team has minions pushing and to not let them use that to take objectives.
Rotate, clean it up, and either set up a freeze or super slow push.
Doing the dumb thing of hard pushing or setting up a slow push for them is what costs most of the bronze/silver subwars I see.

I can kinda pull it off every few games, but it is only when I duoQ (surprisingly it's with a random jungler I met in a game, have friended, and play with often. When you find really good synergy with someone.... add them to the friends list.) However, he plays Gragas/Kled/Zac and can tank a few tower shots.
Additionally, our lane usually has to be ahead for us to be able to pull it off 2v3. And I cannot ever remember us being able to coordinate mid/top joining in. On the few occasions that mid and/or top have joined in on the dive... it's with a TP and never with a roam.

I don't have that play style personally, but it can be done if you absolutely insist on being a super aggressive player.
99.99% of the time, I'm playing like a bitch. If I lose, it's going to be because you beat me fair and square. Not because I fed you 7 kills in lane or because I'm trying to make plays/initiate fights that have a 2% chance of actually working out in my favor.
I typically will only make a play at someone if I'm overwhelmingly certain I can win that fight, otherwise, I'm going to bide my time and wait for you to frick up and then take advantage of it.
