Someone playing bad doesn't mean they're bots. I assume you're talking about [this game](https://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/3967634406/2069927135465824), since it's the most recent CoOp 5v5 game. Bot accounts usually have one thing in common: patterns. They tend to play many games per day, usually with the same champions and builds. If you pay close attention to those players, you'll see they have been playing with each other and they're not consistent with their champion picks and builds. I'm not denying the existance of bots, but in this particular case it doesn't look like it.

You're asking too much of me. I don't have a top 10, but I have a top 4: {{champion:203}} {{champion:35}} {{champion:202}} {{champion:44}} Bare in mind I don't necessarily like those champions just because of gameplay. Lore (background) also plays a big part in my decision.

Alistar and Leona engage/start fights while the other two protect their team. Those 4 champions are put into two different categories: Vanguards and Wardens, respectively.

There's literally no incentive for smurfs to exist. There's no level cap and also nothing to gain by making a new account (eg gifting skins like in the past). Besides, it's not like it was that hard to smurf before. Don't use the "you had to buy runes" as an excuse because you could buy two full pages of Tier 3 runes with less than 15k IP. You could go as low as 60 IP if you bought Tier 2 runes instead (77% efficiency). The Rune system did more harm than good for new players. Also, smurfs are a minority. They're impact in the game environment is negligible and there are systems in place to deal with the.

[Ask Riot: Classic Mode](https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/05/ask-riot-classic-mode/)

Yes. Their justification is they need to manually pull that information from their servers. It makes sense. The price is just to discourage players from asking for that information and it isn't that much (price of a skin). Imagine what would happen if it was free. You'd have many players every single day asking for account information and every one of those requests would be completed manually. Plenty of wasted time. That said, they could have some of the information readily avaiable, like they had in Riot Privacy. I think they disabled that service because of GDPR.

There are two ways: - If you're a new player, [Wasted on League](https://wol.gg/), should give you a good estimate - If you're a "veteran" like me (4+ years) then you'll need to ask Riot directly In either case, the most reliable information will come from Riot. You can ask for that information, and much more, by contacting [Riot Support](https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests). However, it will cost you (5€ I think).

As I said before, most champions start with bonus AD by default, unless you buy AP. I think some champions are hard-coded to start with AP, but I'm not sure. In Dr. Mundo's case, he gains bonus AD, even if you don't buy a single AD item. ######As long as you don't build AP.

It means it will give you either AD **or** AP, depending on what you're building (not both). Most champions start with bonus AD with those runes. If you buy {{item:1052}} , you'll gain bonus AP instead. Suppose you have {{item:3031}} and {{item:1026}} in the same build. You'll gain bonus AD, because you have more AD than AP from items.

It was a different philosophy. The stories were simple, boring and... well... mostly shit, because they were not creating a universe. They had a game based on a vague story of something something. Now it's completely different. Lore is has important, if not more, than the game, League of Legends, itself. For example, when making a new champion, the first thing Riot creates is its background. I lively recommend reading the stories. Some are longer than others, so don't be discouraged if you one seems too long. Here are a few of my recent favourites: [Darius Comic](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/comic/darius/bloodofnoxus), [Vladimir Short Story](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/art-is-life/), [The Watchers](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/the-eye-in-the-abyss/), [Principles of Strength](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/trifarian-legion/) and [Darkin Lore](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/twilight-of-the-gods/). The last three are quite long. ######I have a bias for Noxus, but most stories are really good reads.

Before I answer your questions, I suggest you start by reading what reworked champions do differently. You can find the list here: [Champion Update Schedule](https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule). Then familiarize yourself with the new [Runes System](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Runes_Reforged). Everything else, eg new champions and items, will come with time. I mention those two things in specific - reworks and runes - because it's something that existed before you left but completely different now. *** > [{quoted}](name=PreemptiveMuting,realm=EUNE,application-id=39gqIYVI,discussion-id=L5xvEoYl,comment-id=,timestamp=2019-03-07T20:46:27.624+0000) > > Am i understanding it correctly, or does this new Neeko guy has a W that hits as hard as Jax ulitimate, and still is considered a support champion? Neeko's W isn't that powerful. Neeko maxes W last and she doesn't scale with attack speed, so she doesn't rely on basic attacks, unlike Jax. The best way to understand what Neeko does is to either play her or watch videos. Also, she's not a support. She was supposed to be a Mid champion. *** > [{quoted}](name=PreemptiveMuting,realm=EUNE,application-id=39gqIYVI,discussion-id=L5xvEoYl,comment-id=,timestamp=2019-03-07T20:46:27.624+0000) > > I used to like playing Nautilus in the jungle, just sort of a kink. Can I pick him up and expect decent results? No. Nautilus is **really** off-meta right now. If he ever sees any play it's either as Support or Top, not Jungle. In the Jungle you want ganking or skirmisher champions (assassins will do too).

No more cheap wins by messing with your opponents' muscule memory with unconventional runes? Partially correct. As I said above, the Rune System changed. They combined Runes with Masteries into a unified system. It's does pretty much what both those system did, but now it's streamlined. That said, you need to know what every rune does, so you should at least read each and every one of them. We can now edit Runes on champion select, so you don't need to have multiple rune pages. In other words, if you know exactly what you want each game, one rune page is enough. The IP currency (Influence Points) merged with BE (Blue Essence). Everything you could buy with IP you'll now buy with BE instead. How do you earn BE? By leveling up. We don't earn IP/BE per game now, only XP. On average, about 10..12 PvP games should be enough to level up. Also, we get as much BE now as we did IP back then\*. ######\*Unless you play more than 6..8 games per day. *** > [{quoted}](name=PreemptiveMuting,realm=EUNE,application-id=39gqIYVI,discussion-id=L5xvEoYl,comment-id=,timestamp=2019-03-07T20:46:27.624+0000) > > Of my 3 favoruite toplane champions Shen, Sion and Mundo, which will be the easiest to pick up in the current enviornment?

[Patch 9.5](https://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-95-notes). The patch wasn't deployed yet, but it happens today (March 6th).

You're welcome. The only way to be sure who did it would be by tracking your network traffic. You can actually report attacks like those to the authorities. Be sure to run another check in a week or so. It sounds like it was rookie attack, but it doesn't hurt to check again. Also, don't link any links, or download anything, unless you trust who you're dealing with. Stay safe! {{sticker:slayer-pantheon-thumbs}}

Just go through the procedure. We, me in particular, can't do much for you from our side. The "hardwork" must be done by you. The best I can do is give tips on how to solve it. If it's a RAT, Malwarebytes will deal with it. Spyware shouldn't interfere with how you use the system; you wouldn't notice your machine acting oddly. Whatever that is, it doesn't make sense. An attacker doesn't need a virtual environment to steal from/use you. I'm intrigued. If you're not trolling me, be sure to update the discussion if you make progress.

A VirtualBox config doesn't mean you've been infected. Are you the only one using your machine? Why would an attacker need a virtual environment on **your** system? That defeats the purpose of an attack. Also, if a hacker gets into your machine, why would he knock you off the internet? None of that makes sense. You'd be infected and the malicious code would do its thing. Then the attacker would wait for the system to go into iddle state before doing anything with your machine, if the purpose was to be part of a botnet. If the purpose was to steal from you, you'd either not notice it at all (spyware) or be made aware really fast (ransomware). If the purpose was to destroy your system, well... you'd have figured that by now. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to check. Do the following: - Download Malwarebytes. If you have a clean machine, you may move the executable to a USB flash drive from there instead (this very extreme caution and shouldn't be needed) - Disable WiFi adapter or remove the Ethernet cable (in other words, go offline) - Reboot your system in "safe mode" - Run Malwarebytes If you have a RAT in your system, Malwarebytes should be able to remove it, alongside any other nasty stuff. Be sure to back up your files first (system restore and literally back up your files to an external drive), because it may have a trigger to corrupt the entire system (unlikely but those exist). You may want to remove anything you feel foreign to your system (depends on how well you know your machine). *** If you really were infected, you didn't get it from League. It must have been either a link you clicked, file downloaded, or someone in your network (if you allowed your local network to share files).

Very unlikely to be a DoS or DDoS attack. Probably just a problem with your ISP. To be sure you're not a target of DoS attack, turn on dynamic IP (DHCP) on your router. Usually the simpler solution is to just restart your router and/or machine. If you're usually connected via WiFi, try Ethernet to check if the problem persists.

Unlucky. https://images.rapgenius.com/4e2be86a75bc87dce5cb71bca9be844d.400x400x1.jpg

If you play 20 games after the first analysis, then the you'd be off by 20 games. It's obvious you can't do it once and be done with it. That said, by looking at the past 20 games you can infer what your MMR is, assuming you stopped progressing (LP win/loss stabilize). This should go without saying, but the more games you have the better this method will be. If you only have 20 games, then the level of uncertainty will be much higher than if you had 200 games instead. I didn't mention it because I thought this was obvious.

Your LP gains/losses will reflect that, because you'll feel yourself progressing a lot faster than someone with Platinum 4 MMR in Platinum 4. It also works the other way around.

I don't know how low you can go compared to your rank's average MMR. *** > [{quoted}](name=Wandering Mist,realm=EUW,application-id=39gqIYVI,discussion-id=maVVlALu,comment-id=,timestamp=2019-03-03T16:03:31.460+0000) > > Without seeing your true MMR it's almost impossible to see if the matchmaking is working as intended. We actually can. We may not be able to see the number itself, but we can infer it: - Look at the past 20 games. - Per game, take the average rank on both teams, excluding yourself. Let's call them "X" and "Y". If there's an "Unranked", you can either exclude it or assume Silver 4. - Per game, take the average rank of the match, using the two numbers from the point above - X and Y. Let's call this new number Z. - Take the average rank of the past 20 games, using the numbers from the point above - "Z1", "Z2", ... , "Z20". Let's call that number "R". The only thing constant in 20 consecutive games is yourself, so that's how you can infer your hidden rating. "R" will be, approximately, the same as **your** MMR respective rank.

I wonder how that happened. I don't browse on "Recent", so I can't tell. I guess it happens if someone comes to the boards, after a lot of time has passed, and has a pending notification. The other day, I had someone reply to a [2 years old comment](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-en/WQfla2hE-old-league-of-legends-old-dragon-killed-at-level-1-leauge-of-legends?comment=00000000) I left on his discussion.

Dead? Then why do we have ~10 discussions in the last hour? That's like 1 discussion every 6 minutes ("dead" hour in EU btw). Sure, NA has a lot more discussions/hour, but people like you forget EU is split in multiple boards: [Italian](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/it/), [German](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/de/), [Spanish](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/es/), [French](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/fr/), etc. If you aggregate all of those, we've probably as much, if not more, discussions/hour compared to NA. Besides, more =/= better. Also, your definition of "necro" is off by a long shot. Most of the "[Recent](https://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/)" tab has discussions from the last 2 days.

In fact, receiving honours isn't necessary to go up in levels. That fact alone is enough to dismantle what you said. The Honour system exists to reward positive behaviour, not encourage it. It really is that simple.

The Honour system wasn't created with the intent of encouraging positive behaviour. Instead, it was created to **reward** positive behaviour. Two completely different things. You shouldn't be positive because you're going to win something from it. You should be positive because "it's the right thing to do". The rewards are just a **bonus**. *** > [{quoted}](name=Wandering Mist,realm=EUW,application-id=NzaqEm3e,discussion-id=MEUk2Abt,comment-id=,timestamp=2019-02-28T00:11:25.594+0000) > > I've been honour level 5 for quite a long time and what do I get for it?

I disagree. Good behaviour should be the norm, not the exception. In other words, you're expected to have good behaviour. Let me ask you this. Are you against stealing from someone? If yes, what is the reason? Because it's wrong or because you're afraid of the punishment? A similar thing applies to League. I'm not toxic because I'm afraid of a punishment, but rather because I understand that toxicity is a bad thing for the game environment. I'm willing to bet many, if not most, think like me.

Nothing? Isn't winning the objective of the game? If I didn't want to win, I'd hop to Minecraft instead.

I like the passive. Not sure if it would be balanced, but it adds a level of creepiness to Fiddlesticks. Depends on how easy they are to destroy and how they actually spawn. The Q is too much CC, unless each repeated fear is reduced. Just think about what happens with Shaco's W. A good box placement is extremely annoying and not interactive to the enemy (unless they use Sweeper). During fear, you can't control your direction so you're at the mercy of random scarecrows spawn. The E is boring, just like the current skill. It's a targeted ability that bounces. The R is interesting. *** As with many "boring" abilities, I would like to see his E turned into a skillshot. At the very least not a targeted ability. The interaction with Swain could never happen, btw. Riot doesn't do "champion specific interactions" with abilities, not when those interactions remove gameplay.

In fact, she can still do that.

If anyone tells you "Fiddle counters Vlad" just show them this: [Vladimir counters](https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/counter/Vladimir/). Not a single Vladimir vs Fiddlesticks game. If he really was a counter, you'd see at least a few games. For starters, Vladimir is either found Top or Mid while Fiddlesticks is found either Support or Jungle. The chances a Vladimir will ever go against Fiddlesticks on lane are pratticaly non-existent. Then you have the problem with Fiddlesticks himself. His kit is better suited as a Jungler, not as a solo laner. He's picked as Support more than he's picked as Jungler, so that says a lot about the champion. Finally, Vladimir has more sustain than Fiddlesticks and doesn't need to be stationary to heal. After level 6 (Q rank 4 with 6 seconds cd), Vladimir will shit on Fiddle.

Neither. Amumu's R is an **entangle**. It does what snare/root does plus disarm. He's the only champion with it. When snared you can't move your champion. When disarmed you can't attack.

{{champion:63}} is probably the closest thing to Vel'Koz. {{champion:143}} is my pocket pick. She does pretty much what those two do, but if I'm against either, I usually can't do much to punish them.

Why Eambo in particular? Our NOC friend probably has no say in such decisions.

You're ignored because the answer is obvious. Nothing is stopping someone from using their influence (or other methods) to rig the competition. Scripting is less of an issue because there aren't that many tech wizards out here, even for something as simple as that. I can't vouche for this competition in particular, but the winners of some of the previous competitions were ultimately decided by the volunteer team. *** This is very simple really. If you're not competiting, then you shouldn't complain. If you were not going to compete in the first place, like myself, you shouldn't complain either. Even if the contest had judges, what is stopping them from being biased towards someone in particular? I may be naive with this idea, but I believe those competiting are in it for the fun and not the prizes.
