*** League of Legends ***

I have played LoL on and off for a year or so now and it always comes back to the same thing for me, the community puts me off... I dont mind playing low ELO and it be hard, I dont mind pushing past that but the community is the single worst group of people I have ever tried to co-operate with in any online game (generalisation but that's my experience... sadly).

Yeah, it's very frustrating but I just go into the game with a carefree attitude and focus on myself, if my team are raging then I'll tell them to calm down etc, if that doesn't work I'll ignore them.
 
Yeah, I try my best to ignore people raging and try to cheer up and focus on my own game even more to try and play perfectly, it is pretty effective. Lots and lots of trying ;)
 
I know but surely riot must b aware if the reputation the game has! I don't understand why they don't implement features to help improve the experience

Riot has done far more than most developers have to deal with abusive players, they have a simple and straight forward report system, the player driven tribunal, chat filters and alerts for players that get reported to tell them to change their attitude.

What else do you expect them to do, hire someone to sit in on every game to check for bad behaviour? There comes a point where you just have to let it go. I recently flat out stopped reporting people for anything less than real abuse such as racism/seriously aggressive language or people actively ruining the game because honestly, someone being a bit angry doesn't stop me enjoying the game.

After a good while of playing but never playing ranked I've finally done my 10 placement matches and joined in at Silver V. I think it could have been much higher even maybe Gold V (played against a few Gold I/II's) if it wasn't for two matches that were complete throws that we shouldn't of lost and then two other matches with afkers/trollers. I wasn't used to the high level competition and I think Gold is actually a lot higher than my skill level, I think even silver is punching above my weight to some extent!

MY Thresh hooks can be scary sometimes and I generally have reasonable map awareness but apart from that I'm pretty meh :p I don't think I'll be hoping into ranked for a while though, even though it was less "toxic" as normal goes it was far more tense/grim when people were throwing games. People aren't that nice to each other over the smallest mistakes or with just their crazy self inflicted point of view. IE why did you not save me when I get caught by 5 of the team trying to steal blue and everyone else was at base... Hmm I wonder?! :D

I'm waiting for Ahri or Zed to go on sale as I want to mess around with some mid assassin types as I never have :)
 
Im still going the wrong direction and down to 0 points in Bz2 now from 75 points in Bz1.

Still just plugging away at it though.
 
Went on a 15 win streak in ranked over the weekend Duo Queuing with a friend. Admittedly were both in Bronze (2 and 3)however 15 ranked wins was quite an achievement. Especially when you're more likely to get toxic and bad players in Bronze than in any other division. got all the way up to 91 LP in B3 then lost three game on the trot. Need to get in to silver before end of season.

Ah LoL.....got to love it.
 
I've been playing for a few weeks now and currently level 18. After watching a stream last night and only just discovered some of the items you buy have active spells! I thought they only had passive!

Whoops, I better get used to using them going forward.

Ahri mid with DFG = instakill! :)
 
Ignore the lolking rating, it isn't accurate, it is just based on your current league points.

opgg is legit it works it out based on who you played how they've done recently etc. its also not that far off lolkings score which i found odd.

either way 1100-1200 should be silver5 1201-1300 silver 4/3 silver 2 1400 ish silver 1 and gold 5 around the 1500 mark.

bronze 4 should be 800 ish elo.

They're all guestimates based on previous matches, none of them are actually accurate to the internal MMR which is now hidden :)

It is interesting to watch though - been playing with a friend whos in Plat 3 (im currently silver 1), and my "MMR" is over 1700.
 
true either way op.gg has been more accurate for me says mine and my smurf have a very similar MMR despite being in different leagues which is right imo i'm currently stuck in silver 4 it's not that i can't play well enough to be silver 2 i'm just having a hard time winning teh matches that count ha
 
Stop confusing Elo with MMR.

Elo is a score which you accumulate and lose and is reflected by your ranking.

MMR (Match Making Rating) is what determines the Elo of your team and opponents, I "think" it also has an effect on what you get for a win and a loss.

There is basically no way to accurately determine your MMR as Riot does as it is an internal calculation, Elo can be roughly estimated as it is just what is behind the current ranking system.

Knowing your MMR is meaningless, it doesn't help you in any way as no one but Riot knows exactly how it effects our games.
