As the title says! I’m having a hard time settling on a good second pick.

In my last game the enemy toplaner Darius disconnected. Upon learning this our toplaner Yasuo said “don’t worry guys, I’ll make this a 4v4.” He then proceeded to go sit in a bush and only attack people who came into the bush for about 10 minutes of the game.

When questioned he said “I’m trying to get to Iron 4.”

We ended up losing because their 4 were stronger than our 4. Still lost LP. What’s Riot’s auto detection system even like? This guy literally admitted to trying to derank his account, straight up. Word for word. What more do they want?

Hello, I’m a relatively new player to league and this type of game in general. Basically all of my main champs are ranged and I’ve Noticed while playing ARAM and the occasional Leona or maokai support with friends that I really, really struggle with melee champs. Feels like if I can’t snipe/cast from safety, I just die so quick and do nothing.

Any lane is fine, I’d be practicing melee in normals. For what it’s worth, my most played champs atm are Tristana and Miss Fortune ADC, and Milio support.

A few days ago, in a ranked game, I had a Garen support (Kill WnnieP00h#NA1, you know who you are, I hate you) who spent the first part of the game dancing under my tower while I 1v2’d my lane. He then went up to ‘help’ the team with voidgrubs then wandered up to toplane and started taking the toplaner’s farm, right in front of the toplaner’s face.

Of course I reported him. I’m pretty sure multiple others on my team did too. But I never received a notice he was penalized. Probably because he did get 1 or 2 kills while camping toplane.

But it was only this morning that I realized I could probably file a support ticket about it…. When I did though, I got an error saying this person wasn’t in any of my last 20 games so I couldn’t file the report.

So there’s no way of reporting him now. I don’t even need LP back. I just really want this mf to stop doing what he’s doing. And it really fucking sucks that there’s no way of doing that.

I’m new to league and mobas in general. Never really played any action game before this. So I’m in bronze, and I play supp and ADC. I watch guides about how to improve but it feels impossible when some games, I have teammates who just cannot be helped.

Like in my last game, i played Milio supp, we were Ashe Milio against Varus nautilus. Ashe kept standing right in front of nautilus and then acting shocked when she kept getting hooked, and I even told her to watch her positioning and keep minions between her and nautilus to prevent being hooked, but she just did. not. listen. Also at one point, when Varus and nautilus had backed, Ashe also pinged low mana (and half health to boot) and then, even when I pinged to retreat and reset, stayed in lane and ended up dying when they returned at full health with items.

And our zyra top died twice to her lane opponent very early on and said “no jungler, gg” but DRAGON WAS UP, me and the jungler were taking dragon at that moment. These people don’t pay attention to the map/positioning/etc and then the game gets to an unwinnable state.

When I play ADC, I usually win lane but lose the game because some other lane goes 0/9 and their lane opponent becomes a nuclear bomb that can 1v3.

I get that I’m bronze so I’m bad at the game, I’m not denying this. I’m also not denying that some games I’m the problem because I make mistakes. But it feels like most of the time, my teammates make these games unwinnable. Any advice is appreciated…

I hate yuumi. I can’t put into words just how much I despise playing with her, on my team or the enemy team. She’s terrible. At least in my shitty elo (bronze hell) Yuumis do NOTHING, they don’t ward, they just sit there and probably watch Netflix while I’m forced into a 2v1 where I will inevitably die and then yuumi dies immediately because she has no way to get out, and so the enemy adc gets 2 kills for the price of 1 and starts snowballing early.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, most yuumis are toxic af and will flame me for wanting to play under tower, or they say im a bad adc if i don’t want to play with yuumi, as if she isn’t the worst champion in the game. Ugh

I swear I’ve been looking for this song for like 15+ years. All I remember about it was a line that ended with (I believe) “to the fireside” or something similar.

For the record I 100% heard it in a warrior cats amv back in the day, pre-2010, probably around 2008.

I started playing league a month or so ago. Up to level 30 I was having a great time and managed to get Honour 4, I guess because I’m friendly in chat and never toxic with pings/passive aggressiveness.

Well, since starting ranked it has been a different story. People are constantly being rude to me in chat, question mark pinging, calling me a bot, telling people to report me, etc. I’m always trying my best but at the end of the day I’m new and even in Iron II I’m being outplayed and crushed.

Today I had a game where my support kept calling me a bot and then abandoned me in lane saying they couldn’t deal with the bot. Then they said in all chat to report me. After the game I dropped to Honour 3 and honestly I feel scared to play ranked again out of fear of dropping to the lower Honours. Is it easy to drop to Honour 2 and below? Like if people are reporting me for this stuff does riot check it or could my standing be in danger?
