I have gotten to the point to where if I'm not practicing a specific champ by myself for my ranked pool, I just play ranked.

If I have friends on that want to play, we play norms. I just don't see the point of norms unless you are practicing new stuff.

I haven't really seen a whole lot of try harding in norms lately though. Every now and then I'll see a high diamond playing their main and styling on a bunch or golds or silvers, but that's about it.

SaltyTeemo started showing silver5 games instead of bronze5 games . Amazing how huge of a difference there is between the two elos

with that said, im kind of ashamed my elo of games is being broadcast for the lulz

altho, after seeing all the errors people my elo make, im fully convinced one can climb on their own from any role in this elo.

biggest mistake IMO is overstaying . Instead of backing off a siege to back/take dragon or baron/ clear jungle, we like to stick around with no summoners/mana/ults/half health and hand over thousands of gold and wait on a 50 second respawn timer

amazing how costly a 10 second lack of judgement can be


also, warding. People don't buy control wards because they simply don't know how to use them. I regularly double my team combined in control wards purchased. and that's as a support with a warding item.

Not sure I've seen anything more broken than Riot matchmaking.

Just had a ranked game where the opposing team was all high gold/low plat against our team of silvers.

What the frick sense does that make?

Games feel like stomps one way or the other. Very rarely do you get a good even game anymore.

It doesn't. Unless they were all on a large tilt and had silver MMRs, all gold/plat shouldn't be matched against all silver in ranked. You got an op.gg link? I'm curious.

New champ Pyke hovering around 38-40% win rate support after the first few days. People will start to get the hang of him and it'll get better, but I still think it's funny nonetheless.

Those last second nerfs on the PBE before release must have hit him super hard.

Riot seems to have no clue what to do with regular LoL right now.

Good ARAM changes though.

most ADCs are so nerfed now, they basically just peel for their support . Zyra is out of control in botlane

crit changes and item reworks sucked. stormrazer is useless for most adcs, but renekton and jax can abuse it.

Lucian with new essence reaver is strong though for sure.

kaisa ezreal Lucian MF Jhin draven only adcs worth playing

new IE feels like shite to build and is so expensive.

hail of blades the new run sucks too. so much useless shite

I did play a lot of aram and had a lot of fun, so yes I agree with you on that.

I play ARAM 95% of the time. What's changed? Why is it fun now?

warmogs was removed

health packs are now an AOE circle

new items for assassins. similar to a leblanc distortion.. you return to wherever you used the item's active in 4 seconds.

hit level 4 a lot quicker now

more champions are available for selection (last 3 free week set of champions), and if you reroll, that champion goes into a pool that anyone can then pick from

did they nerf jungle XP hard? i've noticed now that the solo lanes are level 5 and i'm still stuck at 3, makes it pretty damn hard to risk invading the other jungler if their top laner is that far ahead of me

These 2 new teams are running Ryze/Soraka vs Vlad/Janna bot.

Meta is crazy for pro play.

The changes to ADC’s wrecked the class. The only ones that are still good are Kai’sa (nerfs coming in next patch though), Ez, and Jhin. The rest of them have just been gutted.

Well adcs that revolve around crit items were the ones hit the most. If you can take advantage of the items that weren't effected that much like tear/guinsoos are okay. Kaisa and Ezreal like you said, also Kogmaw and Varus aren't bad.

The others just take too long to come online.

I had someone try to do the Taric/Yi in my ranked game last week and although they got a few kills, weren't good enough to snowball the game so they lost.

I'm not against the "whacky meta" but I'm curious to see how long it lasts. The state of ad carry is just awful as a whole, even when a few are still playable.

It’s interesting to see something new for a bit.

The game has been (usually) tank top or GP, (usually) tank JG, mage mid for so long now it seems.

I figured Lucian would be good again with Essence Reaver rework. He's like in URF mode now.
And I've seen some creative bot lanes. Traditional Mid laners or top laners paired with supports.
Xerath, Jax, Morde, Irelia.
Pair them with hard engage or hard poke champs. The game snowballs before the ADCs come online.

Me and a friend of mine were running Anivia/Swain bot lane to mess around in norms and absolutely stomped.
