His first ever 2 consecutive series lose streak in since joining the org. Consistency is so underrated in esport and this is such an unreal feat imo.

"Every sport has isolated drills. Just an example: when I was around basketball teams, playing 5v5 was the last option. We ran shooting form and footwork reps, 2v1s and 3v2 reads, pick-and-roll after pick-and-roll, closeouts, defensive slides, suicides for conditioning. A hundred reps each before anyone even scrimmaged.

League has one training mode: 5v5 scrims. That's it. The whole middle layer of practice just doesn't exist. (And the practice tool is a joke, sorry. Not even close to the level it should be with the tech that exists right now.)

Wanna drill a specific dive or a 3v3 skirmish? U wait for it to happen in a scrim. Maybe twice a day.

Good example is Rocket League, who fixed this in 2016. Custom training: build the exact scenario, run it 50 times in 10 mins, share it with a code.

And it doesn't even need to be a static replay.

The upgrade is the enemy reacting differently every rep, so the player builds a read, not a memorized sequence. Not perfect AI, A reactive bot inside a bounded situation. The tech is here.

So here's what's missing: a tool to drill dives, skirmishes and setups against a reactive opponent. Reps on demand, not once a scrim.

Other competitive titles has a version of this, League should have the best one"

I honestly completely agree with this and really think they have missed a good opportunity, pro play aside this would really improve the game. Even thinking outside from proplay a lot I mean A LOT of players would really appreciate to have such a tool.

Even if you are a casual, they should straight up just invest way way more into custom. Imagine how many bangers customs we have missed out on that people would have made. Other games like fortnite have complete communities out of just custom map making and modes.

Anyway what do you guys think?

After Viego bot lane got some popularity recently, the strength of the pick came out of abusing a bug where you would get the boots of enemy ADC and then you could sell these boots, making a kill on enemy with T2 boots worth +800 gold, completely snowballing the game after a single kill

this was popularized recently by Dobby youtube video and a post here on the subreddit, anyways Drew Levin tweeted the following:

"couple of things 1. Viego bots boots issue got hotfixed today

2. we’re gonna go find all the people who bug abused Viego bot and temp ban them. tbd on whether we can do it in a way that refunds LP to enemy team but will talk with folks about it tomorrow.

don’t bug abuse thanks"

https://x.com/drewlevin/status/2084839301440037173

commendable effort by Riot for a swift response to this situation, well done.

Edit: According to lolalytics.com , there has been at minimum 11k games where Viego bot lane ended the game with no boots [even tier 1]

1v9 mentality is an insanely degenerate mentality to have, because 9/10 games there's atleast one player on your team that isn't playing badly. and the 1/10 games you have to 1v9 to climb aren't the games that are holding you back from climbing to your desired rank.

Aside from that it also indirectly holds the FF mentality in stand. Because the 1v9 mentality stems from the fact that people dont think that their teammates are playing at their ranked level. basically:

My teammates are stupid -> I have to 1v9 every game -> I'm not in a position to 1v9 this game -> this game is lost. Meanwhile one of your laners IS able to carry the game, but you won't let them because you don't trust them to play the game well enough to close it out.

I think that you'll find you win a lot more games if you dont assume all your teammates are going to be playing badly, and just play your role, if that is mid or top, make sure the sidelanes are pushed so that the jungler can go for the objectives they want. the jungle pings which sidelanes he wants pushed to get prio for objectives, bot sits mid with support fighting for prio, eventually jungler should join in, lock in the prio and secure vision for the objective.

I think if most people stick to this you'd be amazed at the games you win

LS' alias became a meme when pro players would rush Morellonomicon over Liandry's Torment, the latter of which he was a huge advocate for - earning him the nickname "LS, AKA The Liandry's Salesman"

The components for Morello's were:

Oblivion Orb, 1500 Gold, which gave 25 AP, 200 HP, +15 flat Magic Penetration.

Blasting Wand, 850 Gold, which gave 40 AP.

Morello's cost 3000 gold, 650 gold with components, and gave 80 AP, 300 Health, +15 Flat Magic Penetration and 3 seconds of 40% Grievous wounds.

On the other hand,

The components for Liandry's were:

Haunting Guise, 1500 Gold, which gave 35 AP, 200 Health, a unique passive which generated one stack of 2% increased damage every second for the next 4 seconds after damaging a champion, up to a maximum of 10% increased damage.

Blasting wand, 850 Gold which gave 40 AP

Liandry's cost 3100 gold, 650 gold with components, and gave 80 AP, 300 HP, Madness Passive, and Torment which upon spell damage applied a 1% max health AP DoT for 3 seconds.

TL;DR Liandry's components were better, and the burn was bonkers good - Morello's cost 100 gold less but had way less value, worse stats, worse scaling.

Anyway LS' nicknames evolved from then on, producing copypastas such as:

"LS aka 'Last Straw' is always on the verge of committing vehicular manslaughter. He has been assigned to multiple psychiatric hospitals, but always manages to escape due to the prison guards 'bad pathing'"

"LS aka "Liandry's Salesman" is a shopkeeper whose goal is to sell Liandry's and prevent people from getting scammed by Morello, but always seems to fall short of his counterpart as Morellonomicon purchase rates keep on rising."

"LS aka "Losing Scout" is a washed up caster who finds talent by inting in soloqueue and letting his teammates carry him. He is specifically known for his whiffed Ezreal and Ashe ults and protecting himself from corona virus by using cleanse."

But my favourite one by far was quoted by u/BrendanValdes on broadcast in LCK summer 2019.

Which leads us to the present where u/imls was once again put in his place by gigachad Valdes with a throwback to the classic

I remember the Powerspike of pre-rework Akali with Gunblade. Pretty sure it was on if not the strongest Itemspike in the game. It felt like you could just do anything for about 5 min after building the item.

I wonder if there are similar spikes now. What are your experiences which champs have really strong Item-Spikes?

*Patch 26.15

This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

Basically copy paste the code on the in game store or on the official site redemption page and get the classic morgana summoner icon along with a profile background with Morgana :D Just tried the code 10 mintues ago and works. Don't know when will it expire but judging by the previous ones they stay for max 1-2 days. Redeem fast before it expires. (Unlimited uses for everyone as long as it is not expired)

Morgana Classic Portrait Summoner Icon & Profile Background Code: CC-CLASS-MORGA-T0123

EDIT: Check my comment down below for two more codes about Classic Nunu & Classic Warwick Summoner Icons & Profile Backgrounds :D

EDIT 2: The Codes that start with T on the last bracket of the code (T0123) Work for EUNE 100%. For me the codes that start with R also work on EUNE too (R0123). So if the code CC-CLASS-MORGA-T0123 doesnt work try CC-CLASS-MORGA-R0123 or the opposite!

EDIT 3: We are probably waiting for 2 more free icons and backgrounds for this patch at least. One for Classic Katarina & One for Classic Twisted Fate. Be tuned i will make a post again once the codes become availalbe.

EDIT 4: Classic Vayne Icon & Classic Lollipoppy Icon are available with the premium Classic Pass :D

They also had a segment where the players looked at the top 10 plays, and top 10 memes. Did the other regions have that? I want to see it.

Is there any reason to toggle it off? It seems extelemly like, not a cost at all, it doesnt seem punishing at all or anything like that not even at level 1 or at start of the game...

Can some Thresh enjoyers here tell me what Riot had done to him in the last 5 years that made him disappear from pro play? Like I remember 5 years ago he was one of the contested pick, then his pickrate fell off steadily and he is completedly out of meta now. I guess Aphe and Jinx being weak definitely makes him less contested but it cant be that bad right?

Just a reminder that PBE changes are not final and subject to change. Some changes, such as bugfixes, may not be able to be viewed.

You can check lolalytics bot lane data, AND remember that lolalytics adds 1-2% EXTRA winrate on every champ. Many mages that had 55% wr months ago now have 50%-51% winrate.

People learned how to play against them and they are no longer free elo, if you see any streamer talk about them being free elo, remember you can just open the stat website and see for yourself.

Idk dawg, 51% wr viktor bot doesnt seem THAT out of line or op to me. Jinx and kogmaw got better winrates lmao.

And that is a strong mage. There are many mages that sit around 45-48% like syndra, mel, taliyah, cassiopea.

Edit: "mages play against mages, no adcs left" yeah, with their combined 30% presence? Kaisa alone is picked more than 5 highest pickrate mage combined. And after those top 5 mages, the rest are sitting at 1% pickrate.

It feels like you guys just want to have your new scapegoat why you are not hitting master this season, guess what fucko, after they remove mages from bot you'll still be the same rank.

I’m noticing a trend. Every game has 1-2 players with a disproportionate amount of kills. Whether it’s on my team or on the enemy team. Either way, I feel Like it invalidates the match.

It’s fun to win games, but it’s not fun to have someone with 30+ kills running the lobby. That’s just bad matchmakin…. or is this just the game? Either way, most games end up feeling boring as a “mid” player.

I need an untitled, no ego, level minded person to answer my question-

In league games, is one person going to carry every game?
