I am kinda new to league only starting just in april so not new new but still. Ive been playing ranked and quickplay quite a bit consistently for several months. From what i see people dont actually enjoy playing league and its quite a stereotype that i never got. I would go onto league and actually have a lot of fun playing quickplay and ranked, BUT all of a sudden around a month ish ago the games im getting into are unbearable. My teammates will be saying ff15 in champ select and be tilted before we even play or it'll just be straight trolling for some childish reason. 8/10 of my games now have someone trolling in them (whether on my team or not) and the game is just not enjoyable at the moment for me.

I put this message up because im unsure whether this is a usual thing for this time of the year or idk whether this is happening all of a sudden to other people as well. This isnt a rant about the game or anything because genuinely i really liked the game i just am really unsure whats happening, but unfortunately if this is just a thing that all people normally get and i just got lucky those few months then i guess i understand the stereotype now.

Does anyone have an actual explanation for this? I love the cast from arcane but I was thinking how come they decided to get other actors when they could have casted the voice actors from league to voice their respective characters? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper also? Considering some actors from arcane are pretty big names

Can we please, start to ban people who soft int? My 30 recent games i've had people who soft int (doing stuff like chasing my jgler for 1 mistake) or generally being toxic and when reported nothing happened. its so frustrating knowing i will queau up again and KNOW some will soft int cuz they are mad and nothing is done about it. i think this topic should be discussed more often so riot actually will step up. its the top 10 game WORLDWIDE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Alright serious question here folks, how is Malphites anatomy made up? Is it just all rocks magically stuck together or is he one giant sculpted rock? And if so is it physically possible for Malphite to wear a "Cock Ring"?

i recently started playing again after months of not playing and i’m confused about the pass. i’m barely level 17, and it ends in 6 days. i’m not sure if the battle drops have a limit for the pass, and if they do and i come out short, would i have to buy the remaining levels to be able to get the skin??

Hey guys, I have only played like 10 games 9 of em being ekko, i just wanted some tips to become a better player and understand how to use builds and why I should do it, I have heard hes a hard character but it isnt too bad so far

Now that Arcane is over, I believe the devs said that there will be a new show in the future but it will feature characters who are not from Zaun or Piltover since Arcane was the center of these two locations.

I know many of you will say anyone from Noxus since we saw Mel, Ambessa and the Black Rose. But who else and what characters from different regions outside of Noxus do you think might appear?

This is not only a question about who might likely appear, but who else would you personally want to see from other parts besides Noxus?

Will someone from Ionia would likely appear? Or Demacia? Or Bilgewater? Or even Ixtal? Or Shurima? Gods shurima!! It’s so exciting to guess because there are 170 characters and it might be anyone!

What do you think? And who would you like to see?

I personally want to see Milio, he just seemed like he came right out of Disney movie and he’s the most interesting character to me that I like from Ixtal.

I’d also kill to see some from Bilgewater, like Graves and Twisted Fate, I want to see them kissing!

But the region with the most champions that I want to see personally is most definitely Shurima, I’ve always had a soft spot for Egyptian themed fantasies. And seeing characters like Azir, Nasus, Amumu (my son), Akhshan, K’sante, Naafiri and Samira.

Wanting to have a separate account for playing off role in ranked but I come to the realization that no matter what queue times in both quick play, draft, and aram are 30 minutes sometimes even like 50. I could care less about what rank the other team is I just want to actually get in games. Are queuing a bunch of bot games even though they give reduced xp worth it?

In the show, there are characters who are playable in the game. But they die? (I’m not gonna say who because I’m sure there are a few people here who haven’t watched the show. )

My question is how can they be dead but also be playable?

I'm just curious which champs has been untouched the longest. My idea is probably Zilean, maybe Lissandra or Ekko? Anyway I would love to hear to actual answer!

I'm not asking for advice, this is for theory crafting.

What would be the theoretical best solo queue champion pool consisting of 3 champions. The goal is to have the highest winrate possible.

Taking into account factors such as:

• meta
• how good that champion is in solo queue
• flexibility in team comps

Disregarding things like:

• Difficulty of champion
• Fun

Hi,

I have been playing League for around 4 years and have always been one of those players who could never stick to a single role, or a single champion. Well recently I have managed to stabilise one piece of the puzzle, as I've spent the entirety of this year playing Jungle. However, my champion pool has been all over the place .

This was until I started playing Zyra. I have never had so much fun playing a champion. From her fast clear, to her great map pressure, and being a sucker for AP Junglers, I am pleased to finally have found my "main".

However, she does see the occasional ban, especially from ADC / Support players and so I've been trying to find a champion to play in such cases.

I recently tried Bel'Veth and have been having decent fun with her, but fear she may be team comp reliant and not a champion I can always just lock in when Zyra is banned. I'm not sure though.

Any opinions?

I haven’t played the game in a long time (1-2 years) and I recently got back into it. I wasn’t surprised that I was basically intimg the first few games and was expecting to drop in elo after a game or two. I’ve played almost 30 games so far in the past two months and I’ve quite literally inted like 90% of them. I mean going like 2/12 or 4/18 in some games where I literally just can’t play. I feel bad for those in my team but I just don’t really know what to do, they haven’t really dropped me in elo. I am playing solo and in groups with friends that don’t play much.

Just lost a game where enemy team had around 22 kills and my team only got 1. Basically lost all lanes. Got tilted afterwards because it felt like I couldn't do anything. They basically huddled together and were in our jungle the whole time. For example my Jungle Rek'sai was top and farming, I saw enemy thresh go up to him (literally taking the path closest to our base) and then maybe 5 or 10 seconds later saw caitlyn, I decided to follow to hopefully save rek'sai. Turns out Thresh and her were waiting in bush the entire time.

Honestly don't know what I could've done besides just playing safer to help that game. Really sucked. Wondering that I might as well ask what other peoples worst game was?

Hi, this is not a "Wine about my low elo post."

I used to be a Silver 1/Gold 3 player, and I always fluctuated between those ranks. Recently, I came back to the game this year and had the worst experience I've had so far. I did my placements on my new account, and by the luck of the draw, I got placed in low Iron. Every game was a "feeder fest." It happened before, but I lost 4 out of the 5 games. So, I decided to climb back to at least Silver. However, the game quality in Iron is horrendous. I can barely get a match, spend over 10 minutes in queue, and then get a stupid number of remakes and disconnects.

I'm at +35 LP, -18 LP MMR on this account, so as long as I coin flip 50% of my games, I should get back to Silver eventually, right? Well, I'm considering stopping playing ranked altogether. After over 20 games, I've experienced more than 5 remakes, and in the games that aren’t remade, people stay in their fountain for up to 2 minutes. I’ve had to deal with feeders, which was fine at first, but now I’m dealing with feeders and people who legitimately don't have the basic PC or internet capabilities to play the game.

After over 20 games, I've only won 3. My average match in Iron consists of waiting 15 minutes in queue, remake, remake, quitting the lobby, remake, getting into the game, and then someone disconnecting mid-fight because their PC can't handle it. Top lane 0/12, bot lane 0/20+, then it's a forfeit, queue, remake, disconnect.

I’m not complaining about my rank i know i'm just a silve player; it’s just that this elo has legitimately BAD GAME QUALITY!

So I decided to re-download league recently, mostly because of Arcane, and I haven’t played or even kept up with gameplay for about 6-7 years. (Credit to Riot support for helping me get my account back when it was attached to an old email that doesn’t even exist anymore)

Any crucial details or system changes that aren’t particularly obvious just by playing the game? I tended to focus on supports and mid laners.

I have already looked through the new runes system, but obviously don’t know any ones that are considered auto-include or avoided

Also, any must see animations they have done would be greatly enjoyed

im new to league and i love playing mordekaiser, but i struggle against ranged top laners, if they just stay far enough away from my pull i cant do anything, what should i do?

All lec rosters have now been reported with rogue finalizing the team of adam, malrang, larssen, patrik, execute

you can find all rosters here: https://www.sheepesports.com/transfers

what do you guys think?

Personally my top 6 would be: G2 FNC BDS KOI KC ROGUE

This is about to be the first game I completely give up on, due to the fact that I’m so bad at this game. I’ve never seen anything like it. I get killed within one to two hits no matter who I select. I love playing with jinx, but the way I play is I only go to lanes with no enemy or I’ll team up with a teammate. That’s the only way I live longer than 1-2 minutes. I’ve never been so bad at a game. I play games like call of duty, Fortnite, Valorant, Warzone and other single player games. I stomp on players in all of these games. League of legends on the other hand I get completely destroyed in low rank lobbies. I think it has to due with the fact that it’s only on PC. My movements are slow on PC. Valorant is on PC and console and I get destroyed playing pc but I completely obliterate on console. Not sure but I need desperate help. Are there any other games like LoL on console? Any tips?

Edit: The other games I’m good at are any genre of gaming expect for those like LoL I guess. I’m particularly good at RPG games

After download the game there is an Vanguad message ask me to update and once I clicked it, the button changes to loading and with this message "something unusual has happened, we suggst retrying or restarting"

I tried look through posts, confirmed I have a clear boot, have my security boot and TMP is on, firewall is not blocking, tried reinstalled, restart run as admin, confirmed in property and this issued persist.

This is so frustrated, i saved up money just bought this brand new PC with 4060 GPU, window 11.

anyone else having this issue? please show some guidance how to get this through your help is much appreicated, thx in advanced

im new to lol and the first couple matches i felt like i was doing really well first match ever i went 10/7 2nd match i went 19/6 then 30/3, but after those 3 matches i feel like ive gotten sent to the deepest trenches of bad body oder and cheeto dust fingers and im getting stomped every round while i feel like my teemmates also have no clue what they are doing, is this just the sbm trying to figure out where im supposed to play at? or am i going to suffer for the rest of the time while playing

hey there fighter lover here , i personally wanna discuss with community about the overall general opinion on the fighter system and give my points overall :

i think the itemasation the fighters have are easily one of the best mostly due to how different fighters tend to be from each other so all the items have a lot of flavour and general flexibility but there are certain items that simply are too niche or weak currently the items are :

overlods bloodmail : the only fighter ive seen use it currently is sett and rarely stuff like mundo the item is a bit weak for the general fighters and to gain the full value of the item you usually have to be almost dead and by that point you likely have used most of your stuff , personally i think atma's reckoning is more interesting option to do it since you gain the ad by combat per second instead of missing health.

Maw of malmortius : after the item nerfs this item has felt pretty bad and i still rarely see people choose this over steraks , and another painful point is the fact that you cant take steraks if you take this item which keep in mind steraks is one of the most crucial items for surviving a teamfight so losing that option feels bad and beyond that you have zero options in items that do grant mr-ad for fighters , personally im willing to explore the wild version which is more fitting more fighters since it rewards you for fighting non stop and opens up the option to have steraks and a offensive mr item

hexplate and chainsword : nobody builds these items either because they are too niche or too bad im not sure how you fix those items but i just wanted to it out they are easily one of the worst items the fighter system has to offer

Once every 2-4 games I get a random person in my team or in the enemy team actively trying to sabotage the game. It feels to me like there is some sort of pattern behind it, especially after a few wins.

It feels kind of like the system is trying to balance your high win rate with someone with an abysmal win rate. What do I mean by someone trying to sabotage the game?

Going 3/13 4/19 5/15, not using abilities on purpose, etc. Why isn't there a system to punish these players? I have done more than 30 reports past couple of days of players that are not bad, but clearly sabotagers. You cannot possibly be gold and be that bad at the game to die 19-20 times.

If we would take into account just the death timers, those are minimum 10 minutes with the grey screen. If you are one of these players, what is the motivation behind it? I am really curious about it even from a psychological standpoint.

Title.

Like this is straight up funny. Playing ADC solo is absolutely pointless because your only win condition is your team at least going somewhat even elsewhere on the map, if they lose there is no way to carry them even when winning your lane substantially. Even if you win your lane hard you still rely on your support to play alright or once again youre useless.

If they win you're a glorified support making sure they keep winning.

No matter if you win or lose you have 0 margin for error if you want to have any agency in the game.

How isn't every ADC main straight up suicidal or has left the game at this point?

Oh right, they just play non ADC bottom carries... like Karthus, Ziggs... whatever really. Insane how shit this role has become from back in the days, RIP when League was actually fun to play and not a bruiser/assassin infested power fantasy.

So I'm new to LOL and have found a liking to using viktor/Mid-laners, but I suck at playing them, how can I get better at playing? (I'm still just playing summoners rift)
