yep vision is key. lot of people love to chase in bronze. I also grew out the nami one trick phase. I wanted to branch out. sure it got me demoted to S5 but it is exp.
apparently rito will temporarly recycle some idle animations for recalls on champions that previously didn't have one
interesting, it's better than nothing, tho not too big of a difference for me since the good skins come with custom recalls so like i already see ones on ori and lux or whatever already
Still, my main gripe with playing LoL is that I feel like I have to put up with not actually having fun while playing when I'm looking to git gud. Reliably catching people with my Nami bubbles nowadays is rewarding and all, but I was getting bored of only using her, all while I continue to suck at map awareness and noticing opportunities for me to go and help out at other lanes (which I often fail to do even when I go top).
One of the worse parts is that playing by yourself is often a pain with how people can be singing praises about my Nami one game, only for them to be spamming "gg bot" the next, since it further confuses my perception of whether I happen to be the one doing stuff right or am just being carried by somebody else playing well in spite of my misplays. Sometimes I can see it clearly that my suicidal adc didn't help us at all or that I was miscalculating the threat level of certain enemy plays, but my perception of the game is still often limited to the lane I'm in, and I don't think I'll be getting that much better at it for a while since it is pretty hard to stay focused on the fast-paced action that's on my game screen while also being aware of how things are going elsewere through the minimap.
Maybe I should help my cousin level up his account so that he can join me in bronze or something, because I definitely feel like things would be more fun if I wasn't going through all this by myself (while zky does help, the gap in skill between the two of us is enough that I can get most of his tips in theory, but putting them into practice is quite hard to do).

Alright then, feast your eyes on pure unadultered bronze! http://las.op.gg/summoner/userName=julianimp
Bruh start playing tanks supports. Leo and naut are frelelo.
Also play tons of singed. Bronze players love to chase and he can easily distract teams.
But honestly watching videos and pros is how I quickly got out of bronze

Yeah, their ults and kits are complete bullshit and toxic to play against. I assume that's why at least Kayle is getting a rework.
For Trynda there's actually a fairly large pool of champs that shit on him though.
Rammus is said to be a hard counter. Neacy (well known LoL streamer/ youtuber and GP/ Trynda main) says there's nothing you can do to a Quinn and I have to agree. He has one gap closer and no hard CC so getting ontop of a Quinn is just gonna be hard.
Personally I play TK into him or I feel like dodging. Both are are AA based but TK is gonna build tank and building tank makes his AA stronger. On the other hand. He has a slow, a stun, a suppression, a "nope" shield, can eat him when he ults or before he knows he needs to ult and his ult allows him to get back to lane faster. TK can 1v1 a lot of bs champs if played right. Played him into a Kayle and got FB because she didn't respect the W. Shat on her all lane because I guess it's kinda hard to abuse the range advantage when TK has ranged harass and slow built into his Q/W.
Thinking WW top might be good into him for the same reasons.
As for the Jayce talk ... he's so strange. i can't think of one naturally bad match up for him. He seems like he's designed to just not have bad match ups, only bad players who play him poorly.
I'm not really into tank supports. Outside of craptastic games as Nami, I can consistently do much better on her than on any other support champion by far. I'm also awfully biased towards ranged AA champions, maybe because it lets me be on more even footing with adcs and other ranged supports, which means that I can poke with AAs more as opposed to relying on walking in or landing skillshots with melee champs such as Naut.
I enjoy the feeling of zoning them out of cs with a tank, but I feel like I can consistently do that as Nami now, all while being infinitely safer due to my larger attack range.
Pro videos are cool and I watch the map really often there as well, but then I get to my games and I just can't find the right time to glance at it unless I'm not actually doing anything (ie: recalling, dead). Also, bronze is really weird in that many games go long due to teams not knowing the proper way to prioritize objectives, so it isn't as much about small incremental advantages as it is about some player doing stuff absolutely out of line such as chasing enemies across the map, overstaying after taking objectives, being the frontline as a squishy adc, focusing on that juicy 9000/9000HP Cho while Ez tears them a new one or attempting to do baron when there's no vision control, no enemies dead or visible in the minimap and their team is all below 50% HP. Even better is that many games can even be won after those ridiculous throws as the enemy team goes on to do a throw of their own, such as falling back and allowing inhibitors to regenerate without anything to show for it, or that there might be another throw. Teams can randomly ace or get aced at every turn because everyone of us still has piss-poor decission-making skills.
Like, I just played one game were we were 7K gold and nine kills behind at one time, with Twitch and I doing awfully botlane early on, losing most of our base and three dragons due to being stuck defending, but then Garen and Cass got things together, I switched over to supporting for them for the most part and we ended up turning the game around despite having a comp with no initiation (our team was Garen, Evelyn, Cass, Twitch and Nami). I think the win was mostly due to the enemy team being disorganized to the point they'd end up focusing all their skills on Garen (who only got tankier as he got more and more fed) while we used our skills on the people who mattered (ie: bubbling Rengar up as he pounced on one of our squishies).
I might try playing Singed eventually, but I feel like my team rarely understands the advantage of having two or more people chasing after a guy who just strolls across the map while spamming the laugh command. Bronze being so much about abyssmal misplays also means that I can splitpush all I want, but my team is still as likely to get themselves aced in a 4v3 as they are in a 5v5. I mean, people are often quick to flame me when I pick Teemo, so I can't help but shudder at what they'd think about me going Singed.

So, how do I kindly talk shit about my jungler without being one of those "no jungle. lmao" assholes in a game? Because I've had about 2-3 Top games in a row now where my jungle ganked 0 times. That is no exaggeration. I mean literally 0 times. And I pinged and asked kindly as I was pushed in multiple times.I just smiled and went about my business, but died a little inside all games.
Just had an exceptionally monotonous game as Ivern. Our team won in the end (54 min!!) but every single one of my lanes was pushed so far up they may as well have been humping the towers. I had absolutely nothing to do all game. Opposing jungler was a new player, so I never even got a chance to counter gank. By the time the 20 min mark came around I was ready to just quit out of boredom, so imagine pilling on an extra 34 mins on top of that.
Ugh...
Ugh...

For how long?
it happens, junglers are constantly putting out fires so there might've been bigger ones outside ur lane
or your team is just losing, so no matter what ur jungler does it's a loss
i only ping for summoners if it's useful information for the jungler and look to roam myself, i never expect junglers to actually do anything
inven is kind of an unexciting champion in himself i think
but yea that doesn't sound great
end of times ofc

Ended my night with a 3rd Ranked loss in a row. Think I'll call it there. 3 wouldn't bother me as much if my last game didn't Autofill me Support, after someone dodged my previous 2 games where I actually had one of my preferred roles. I still don't understand rewarding someone for not dodging by autofilling.
This was overall a not great night. Time for bed.
What's really depressing is our Kat in mid was averaging a kill a minute.She had 13 kills before she finally died. Bot was doing well for the first 5-10 minutes, but started to do fall apart after my top TP'ed down and cleaned them out.

Yeah, Malz can also be ok. The important part is that you can bring a lot of lane presence to compensate for Vayne's relatively low lane presence.
A friend of mine just lost to lethality caitlyn in ranked. It seems so dumb and is probably kinda bad against tanks, but against a squishy team the spell combos and ult are really strong.

Please tell me that people were at least able to switch some roles lol
That's a dodge-select if I've ever seen one.
Maybe only top and mid mains play during the middle of the day.

nah, Breezy's gonna be on suicide watch after this one
Got gold in solo and 3v3s! Now I'm working on flex.
Been spamming zilean support/mid. Pretty fun champion after you get good with him. Every once in awhile I still hit w too fast before I get in range to throw q. Causing me not to have second bomb. Once I master that it will be ggez.

I'm already triggered
what's her ult, she teleports a victim into an alternate rift and has 8 seconds to fight them?
Cause that would be cool.
If she's a pet champion, that would also be cool.

I mean, I'm just trying to hypothesize what Costy thinks would get you real upset. Taking that dragon master skin and giving it to someone else would probably get you upset.
Also, upon lookin gat that art again I doubt it's a Shyvana skin. She already has the black-purple skin (forget the name). But that does look like some sort of egg.

Actually, someone on Reddit speculated that it might be a Dragon-related elise skin, which doesn't seem too out of the picture given that silhouette.

All I know is the skin is already pandering with that slim ass silhouette.
