*** League of Legends ***

Uninstall Pando Media Booster. It installs when you install the LoL client. You don't lose any functionality and it seems to have broken the LoL client in the recent patch.

The other recommendation was disabling the IP Helper service. Not 100% sure on the downsides of this one but you can always re-enable it if it causes problems.

Thanks for the heads up, will uninstal pando when i get home (just read what it is and thats ridiculous).

Also what is IP helper?

Cheers.

It's a Windows IPv6 service. Type 'services.msc' into the Search box (or Run) and find 'IP Helper'. Open its properties and change the 'Startup type' to 'Disabled'.
 
Got my first set of promotion games next. Though given the number of games with afk in them, im not holding out too much hope

Edit: If you fail youre promotion matches do you go back to 0 points?

This is a funny old game, worked my way up to Promotion silver 2 - 1 under the chat ban - chat ban expires (and no, i didnt flame anyone at all, barely even spoke after) and im on a 20 loss / 4 win streak - 1 loss away from being back in silver 4.

Its like the game's trolling you at times.

Some highlights:
Guy calls ADC, picks Ez, builds AP in game.
Guy picks Ez first pick - doesnt communicate at all - in game demands to go mid and build AP.
A jungle Xin who feeds 3 kills to Wukong top, then complains I cant compete with him (as Vlad.. with no kills)
No less then 12 disconnects.

Reckon its best to avoid this game during school holidays completely.
 
You're not the only one. I was in and out of my promo from S2 to S1 and now all of a sudden I'm sitting on 0 points in S2 in fear of relegation again... some of those were fair losses but not enough to justify. I think about 2 of them were "fair". I can;t complain too much. Soon my luck will turn and I'll end up on the team trouncing the other one for the same reaons, similar for my S5 --> S2 promos.

never the less, it's irritating

- GP
 
consistency is key, get a group of champs and know them inside out, figure out how to play against other champs even if they hard counter you. (for example I know how to play vs panth if im GP and 9/10 will win the lane and the game in the process)
Forget the guides and look to find your own builds that suit YOUR playstyle, providing their a little bit sensible.

your slowly but surely win more games in the long run.
 
And there it is, demoted to silver 4 again.
Frustrating thing is there is literally nothing I can do to prevent it, at all, because my team are either trolling or afk on the majority of the losses.
Or in the last games case, a support who plays Morgana, refuses to buy wards, tries to build AP and contributes nothing - who was bronze 4 - and only got into the game by grouping with someone in Duo queue.
 
You cant get angry, if your good you will rise despite the circumstances. It really is that simple.

Theres trolls in all divisions,I used to cry about the ones in bronze but now I cry about the ones in Silver. The difference? I made it to silver by upping my game and those bronze trolls are either still there or out of the game for good.
 
welp, contrary to what most people experience in this game I'm quite enjoying matchmaking. Got to platinum in 30 wins. Just got my plat 5 promo series after 5 more wins. 35 and 20 in solo queue, 24 and 15 with Vayne and 17 and 6 with Caitlyn.

Is your summoner name Alpherah too? If so, I'm not surprised you're stuck in silver with only 600 wins across ranked and normal. That's not many hours in the game, and hours played = skill.

Except in my case :) Thought tbh I play to chill and my thought processes don't go much beyond that :)
 
So I've got a spare Riot Graves code going around and I've already got it. If someone fancies gifting me Archlight Varus they can have the code!

I'll sort you out the arch light skin tomorrow for the graves one pal. Link me your lol user name p.s sorry if it's in your sig I'm on my phone and cannot view it. :)
 
I just cant seem to make sense of this though, i can only think i have horrendous luck, Id say more than half my ranked games so far have had an afk but its always in my team. I cant think of one game where the other team have had an afk. Just had 2 promotion matched, both with afk and therefore losses. The odds mean it must happen in the other team but just never seems to.

I haven't had an afk player (as in, rage afk because team is losing/arguing) in my 60-70 ranked games so far. When people say things like you have, I generally just put it down to confirmation bias. You only remember the afk games or whatever. Because honestly, there's no way it can happen that much to you. I play this game a hell of a lot and I encounter very little trolling.
 
What benefit is it to me to lie about something as daft as that lol

You think out of two promotion games I didnt have an afk player and it was all in my head....

I cant always tell if they have an afk so thats down to observation in the game which could be missed but i certainly know when ones went missing from my game and at the moment the number is staggering when you think of percentages there is the fact ive only played 35 games.

But each to their own.

I feel your pain I have lost to silver 5 promos becuase of afk's and Super Teemo's

just hang in their the tables do turn in your favour aswell. It just seems like it's stacked against you.

Dud eyou're in platinum your public match rating is probably high enough that you don't see it as much.

When your public match rating is aslow as mine every game is a flip of a coin for who gets the retard/rager/troll the majority of players are bronze elo so it's no surprise that people above the line are confused about what goes on below it.

Never play ranked at

A) School Holidays
B) The Weekend.

The quality of players and maturity drops dramatically. There's also far more people called ridulous stuff like XxXDAKILLAHXxX :p
