Ended up Plat 4 after placements, was glad I didn't have to go through the gold-> plat promos though when I did that last season it was 3 ridiculously easy stomps back to back so idk if I would have cared lol.

Was way more stoked about the fact that I got into my favorite champion's League, Teemo's Scouts muahahaha!

In any case I'm glad to see my other favorite champion in the LCS and such now (Pantheon) since he has a lot to offer with a few decided pitfalls. However they all use him as a jungler and I just take him mid. I don't seem to be quite on the ball for using him this season yet though since I'm only 6/4 and at the elo I'm playing at right now I should be performing better. Don't quite have that aggressive go for the kill instinct I had last season.

On another note I hate Vi and Jinx in solo queue so much right now, don't even care if nothing else is banned as long as those 2 are out >_>

i got placed into silver III....i routinely go X-0-Y or X-1/2-Y as Maokai from the jungle.

sadly then i get trolled when it comes to placement matches

Placed into Silver 3 as well with a 6-4 record. I should have had 2 more wins but messed up a few fights in those two games which cost me carrying our team in them. Maybe an 8-2 record would have got me 2, possibly 1.

What were you guys before the soft reset?

I was sitting on Plat 1 ~15 points (damned LP clamping) and just gave up going for diamond due to the time I had left in the season and the lp gains/losses per game. I was getting +25 per win and like minus 11 per loss up to Plat 1, then it dropped to +5/-4.

And I preferred playing other roles for the longest time but me and my duo partner learned that our most effective way to climb in solo/duo queue is to abuse how the games play out. So that's why I primarily play panth mid and demoralize enemy team by crushing enemy mid and then ganking the hell out of lanes.

I was 75+ points in S2. Just got back into S2 today. I've been playing jungle with the most success. ADC just doesn't have as much a chance this season it seems if you have bad teammates that lose the early game.

It's pretty cool. You can queue up or captain a team. As captain, you designate if you want a Fighter/Tank/Assassin/Mage/Support/Any Role in each slot. Then as the system finds those people you can accept or decline them based on their champ and role selection. Once you get 5 people and ready up, the system finds you a match and puts you into loading screen for the game.

Although Riot's servers just melted it seems.

Sounds like the makings for an even longer wait...

EDIT: yep. Won't be playing that mode. 30 minute wait (and worse I hear for others) and then finally get a game only to have someone afk before the game starts. Pointless waste of time.

I have done it! I have reached the hallowed grounds of Gold.

Ok so it's not that good these days. I went 17-3 with 9 game win streak going into the third match of my promo series. Then the next two games had some of the worst teams I've had in a while and lost. But thankfully the final game was smooth and a good team.

My gold league now has 11 people in it. I mean that's the total in ALL the divisions, not just V.

Yah, I was hearing about this from a friend recently. I haven't played this game in over a year. Partly due to the game, partly due to burn out, and partly due to real life things taking over my time. You know like getting married, new job, new house, and making a kid. Although that last part was at least a very enjoyable expenditure of time

Was trying to decide if I should ever restart playing the game. I was mainly frustrated about playing ranked in which I was constantly trolled/auto afk/leaver for losses more often than not. I was hoping Riot would implement a better system to prevent the trolls and discourage trolling beyond the tribune system. The team builder system looks interesting.

You'll be disappointed. Doesn't fix any of that, just takes 5x as long to get a game started.

If they keep it, and make it available for solo ranked, it might be somewhat useful, but still doesn't address trolls or afker's/leavers. Simply not worth the time involved.

Riot decided their April Fool's Joke would be an alternate game mode with the notion that this is the future of normal/ranked league. Jatt did a pretty poor job at making me believe it at all sadly, but the good news is the Ultra Rapid Fire mode (URF for short ) is freaking fun lol. Haven't had this much fun with an alt mode for league ever, and can't even really remember the last time I found the game to be so hilariously enjoyable. Try it out now!

Yeah. I just tried it out and had the most fun I've had in a long time. Fizz and trynd are absolute beasts. It's sad that people still rage. Riot is just the best.

I tried it..I thought I'd enjoy it, but alas, I didn't really. :/

I liked 6v6 better. It would be nice if they'd just keep it around though, as it's nice to change things up occasionally.

Had great fun with Yi, GP, and Eve. Unfortunately there was so many noobs that I didnt really get to do much in most of the games. When even just a single lane decides to URF (Ultra Rapid Feed) you're pretty much screwed since it only takes a few minutes for someone to totally snowball out of control.
