  Hooray for plord.

  
  
  It's a terrible publicity stunt if you ask me.
  DERP gets more followers, PL gets more viewers/subscribers and thus, more money.
  If it all ends up being for real and Riot finds out + accuses PL of collaborating with that guy, then meh.
  
  Edit: and it escalates fast, although he took his stream offline already, because he got called by the cops or something.
  (At least that's what they're saying and what his stream says)

  There was a Rioter in our game today! He was AWFUL.
  
  Jungle Kat was a terrible joke but honestly what made us lose was actually the Morgana... a little slow in the head there.

  And despite the score, we were pushing pretty well and in to an inhib. Even scored a baron. Team fights were pretty close so if our Morgana wasn't playing with finger crutches we could've won.
  
  AP Alistar is really fun and does well but man, everyone on their team had a freaking spellshield or some sort of after-death passive effect that makes me useless with my mega long cooldowns.

  We obviously rarely post the non-fun ones.
  
  Yesterday for example, my last game of the day:
  
  Me supporting as Leona, random Sivir as ADC.
  Sivir agrees with me to rush level 2 and get a quick kill to put the enemy behind.
  We manage to hit level 2 first, my E lands, I get onto Graves, Sivir follows too late, I end up chasing Graves on my own since Sivir's response was way too late. manage to get him with 30% of my own health left, I had my doubts about finishing off Sona since my skills were still on CD, enemy mid appears to kill me.
  At least Sivir was safe, but then...
  
  Sivir keeps getting caught, spams auto attacks and skills on minions, when she's low on health, just keeps farming until she dies. When I'm not there for a few seconds buying wards and stuff, she farms under her tower but with plenty of room for Graves and Sona to take a bunch of free auto attacks on her, basically not responding to it until she's almost dead, I end up killing Graves again on my own but get finished off by their jungler.
  
  After 10 minutes:
  Me: 2/2/0
  Sivir: 0/5/0
  
  Later in the game I also notice that the enemy top Garen was ridiculously fed and didn't get killed a single time during the entire game.
  (11/0/6 or something, got a bit more before it ended)
  
  I don't want to blame Sivir too much because she was only level 22, and I made some mistakes too, but you should at least know not to let yourself get spammed with autos/ rush minion kills (and thus missing cs everywhere) by that level, no?
  
  Oh well, can't always win.

  Yorick is pretty weak right now, even in his role as a 1v1 bully who wins lane and nothing else, he's dropped off the face of the earth for power.

  Yeah I suppose so but his ult is great in team fights or even 1v2 and 1v1

  He kinda works in a protect the doublelift strategy, but that's really only if your adc is fed to high hell, you really need to build a team around him to get much out of him, like 1-2 hyper carries on your team, that weren't shut down.

  You guys really don't seem to understand how much different normal games are from ranked games. In ranked games, I talk to my team members, a lot. This is one of the biggest and easiest ways to climb the ladder, assuming you are any good at play calling. If you talk a lot and still lose, that means you're probably bad at it. In normal games, I don't talk at all. I focus on myself and, for the most part, ignore everyone else. This is not conducive to winning every game, but I don't really care, that's not what I'm working on. Another thing I do in normal games is play much, much more aggressively than I ever would in a ranked game. This usually causes some snowball action one way or another. The reason I do this is to test the limits; to see if there is a situation in which I can actually win, that I previously was unsure about. Once, I played against TakashiX (former mid laner for a pro team/D1 player) and beat him in lane in a normal game. I've also lost to Bronze players (I'm a Plat II mid lane main). It doesn't mean shit. Takashi is still a way better player than me, and I'm still a way better player than those random Bronze guys.
  
  Personally, I suggest getting rid of LoLNexus (or whatever similar program you use) immediately. It is absolutely useless for anything other than finding a reason to complain. There is one simple fact everyone needs to know: every loss is your fault.* Every single one. If you lose, it's because you do not deserve to win. Don't even tell me about all your team mates and matchmaking. I have a friend that's just like you, I've heard literally every single excuse. I've also played a lot of normal games with him; he's wrong, just like you are, and everyone else who complains about it.
  
  The only other reason to use LoLNexus, besides finding a reason to complain, is to figure out what runes/masteries they use. This is an equally stupid reason. You can easily tell all their important stats by clicking on them, and anyway match-up knowdlege is also way more important. Knowing their runes and masteries will not help you win games, I guarantee it.
  
  *An explanation on how every loss is completely your fault. After all, what if 2 people reading this were on the same team? How is it completely both of your faults? It's because every single person, regardless of your role, champion, or teammates, has the potential to single-handedly carry the game. Every single time you lose, you failed to single-handedly carry, and thus it is your fault. Imagine if a Challenger player had played in your spot. He would've gone 10-0 in lane and carried the game. Did you do that? If not, you lost the game for your team. You can complain about your teammates: "wow my top laner went 0-10 and I couldn't do anything about it!" Why didn't you go 10-0 as well and be just as fed as the enemy top laner? He deserves his win more than you, the loss is your fault. What if you go 10-0 and still lost? If you can't carry your team while fed, you have some awful mid-to-late game decision making and need to fix that before you deserve the win. It's your fault.
  
  TL;DR: Shut the fuck up about matchmaking.

  Every single person doesn't have the potential to single-handedly carry a game :v Your advice is, in general, pretty good, but that's sort of a stretch.

  Because having diamonds matched repeatedly against people legitimately level 20 is completely fair and carryable 100% of the time right?

  League system blows. I wish we could just bring back elo. If a diamond is being matched up against legitimate first time level 20's, their account was boosted or bought.
  
  Of course, there are some unbalanced matchmaking that happens often. Matchmaking can't be perfect. The point is, probability puts poor matchmaking at 50% to your disadvantage and favor.
  
  My promotion to gold was full of plat 1's doing their promotions to diamond. Retarded system, just gotta deal with it. Played leblanc. Shit's imba. Win every game, or at least pretend to carry.
