Not sure when they added this but WOWWWW it's awesome. It's always funny to me when people message you to tell you to KYS or something because you didn't spam gank their lane or whatever happened. Now they get insta-banned lmao.

Bravo riot I must say, I don't agree with all your systems, but alot of them are really good & this is an example of one of them.

I've been banned many times now because I make an off-meta pick. I'm not talking yuumi jungle or something clearly troll, but like Ryze support, adc jungle, graves support is one my favorites and actually really strong AP.

My point is though that you will get banned in lobby for doing this now. Why is the new AI system banning you just for making off-meta picks? I'm still actively trying to win. Just limit who you can choose in ranked at that point.

I'm using an arc totem build. I've invested alot into this and I still feel like I'm getting one-shot far too often. I try to keep myself out of the way most of the time, but if I roll one wrong direction or I get too many mobs spawning around me, whatever, I'm insta-killed.

I'm used to playing a monkey build as my main. I usually never get killed, but it's also alot slower damage wise. It doesn't do nearly as much. This build I clear very well, but it still just feels incredibly squishy.

This is a low-life build that uses mana as my HP. I guess in hindsight you could say "well get more mana", but that's pretty difficult to do. I could get MAYBE 1k more and that would be absolutely maxing out T1 rolls and then getting those same rolls I need on my gear would be very hard this late into league.

Is there anything I can do to make myself tankier?

As the title states, why am i losing spirit mid map?

THIS IS NOTTTTT A WEAPON SWAP ISSUE. I just want to clarify that because that seems to be the most common answer. I don't have a 2nd weapon set even equipped and if I click the weapon swap button it just says "you need to have a weapon set equipped to do this".

I haven't pinpointed where exactly this happens, but it's usually mid map. I am running a monkey build. I notice it because my 2nd companion will not be spawned and I look and it says I have around 50 spirit instead of like the 2 spirit I normally have remaining. When I back out of the map I have all my spirit back. I don't see anything in the map mods that does it. Is it something in the verisium rune fights maybe causing it? It kinda breaks the build & has happened quite a few times.

Also just for clarification, I left the map, came back inside the map and the spirit is back lol. So what is causing this?

As the title says, what do you guys do to make your saves more challenging?

I'm still a newer player, with only around 200 hours playtime. So far, I've won a treble with Chelsea, I've taken a North/South team to the prem with promotion every single season and finished 7th in my first season (post proof in my history). I took a little break and have been playing again since the WC has been on.

Currently I have a ManU save where I came in 3rd first season prem & am on track to win the Prem my 2nd season. And in another save I'm doing well first season in the bottom of the Indonesian league.

At ManU, we are -400M in debt, but it doesn't matter because we get so much money from winning & it feels like I can't lose most matches. Even when I watch most content creators, it doesn't seem like they ever lose either. So what are you guys doing to make a more realistic experience? I shouldn't be able to take a North/South team with no money and just grind to the prem and qualify for Europe while being told I'm bottom of the table in predictions every season.
