Hey, appreciate your response. 2 things though: 1. I would need a proc to kill him, yes, but I just used both Q and E, not sure my passive was up, I suspect not. So even if I could flash in range, which I am not sure of, I had no way of killing him, so saving my flash there was definitely right. 2. this I am very much in doubt about. It is the usual thing, yes, but before i put some points into Q I basically have no waveclear, so pushing it all the way from my tower to his seems very unlikely, but I am not totally sure. Though you may be right, even if he got back to lane by the time my minions hit his tower, I should have time to get back before he pushed it back. Assuming he did not freeze on me. {{sticker:vlad-salute}}

ha, thanks, but that is only because I ahve played few games. Whenever I go over 10 games on a champ I start feeding :P

huh. I don't ever think you will be informed in any way, but I am now certain a conspiracy is behind it all!

well, TO BE FAIR, why were you not playing Kayle and using exp cheat to get level 6 after first buff, so you can head straight top and save your laner? Seems like your fault to me. Also, it is just rude to take kills from people that want them a screen away! Have you no manners?!?!?

I genuinely believe Riot is simply running experiments on random (selected...?) players and cross reference the data with their report system. Twice in a row my rankeds have been like this: I play average, but all in all get carried to my promos for Silver II. Lose promos with 1 win and 2 losses. Few games later I am in promos again, win them. Now, the next 6 (!) games EVERY ONE OF MY TEAM MATES ARE FEEDING. Not like "well, midlane gave Zed a kill and he roamed", nope, every lane single handedly fed their opponent and lost their lane. hard. 6 games in a row. So I demoted to Silver III again. Again, all this happened twice in a row, _almost_ as if it was scripted by someone... somewhere... And I'm not saying I deserved to win any of those 6 games, but I am saying there is an all too clear pattern emerging.

We need nothing that encourages more people to play him. Case closed.

This is interesting. How long does the ping thingy last for?

thanks for the tips, the Randiuns thing is useful, and the invading. Though the big problem is that he can have no interaction with me whatsoever, and when mid game comes he is just fed enough to one-shot me and get away before team kill him. By this point I barely have my 2 items for damage, building Randuins seems sketchy. Not to mention the lack of team work and awarenss of invis champs etc. here in Silver. The "buy a littel bit of armor" thing, though... Last game I ws Xayah with 124 armor, he opened on em and did 75% of my health in a second... Didn't die directly, but no way to survive his team with range after that. The infuriating thing about him is that he may be weaker than Kha in 1v1, but if he does not show on the opposite side of the map or tries to kill someone else I am Shröedingers ADC until he shows.

huh. In a twisted way that might actually work! {{sticker:sg-lulu}}

in a ranked game, when you are Silver, hence you suck and will definitely lose to a conventional botlane, then you troll. Have you practiced it extensively in normals, finding succes, and then going in? Sure, but they hadn't. Checked op.gg

Junglers not ganking top because I asked them nicely.

No. just No

So never ever get back line cs?

so why does she move into their face (100 units or so) when the ability has 600 range?

what defensive items do I buy? Considering she not only does magic damage and I need mana to be able to stay in lane, unlike her (boy, giving an assassin endless sustain was a great idea). And staying under tower never worked for me. Yes, I don't die, but she takes tower from sheer minion pressure, and she outfarms me since I have to farm under tower. I know how to farm full health minions under it, but between her slow-ish push and my own minions coming in the meantime many minions just die form 1 tower shot before I can do enough damage myself. And just how does her going bot getting a double kill, instead of a single one on me, make it better? Seriously, no one in my elo looks at the map or care about pings, so they don't ever back off, and I have yet to see a support stopping an assassin from killing our ADC by more than sheer luck. Oh, and ofc it is my fault that I don't just burst her out of lane every time, not theirs for being asshats

I seriously have a hard time seeing this working. So I never ever use my Q to farm, meaning I am always in range for her to dash on me when I want to farm. And then I would have to rely on my combo doing more damage than hers, also given her kit does more damage than mine early. And if I ever use Q to farm, she goes on me before I can shield myself, then I ult and then what?

at what point does, say, Orianna nuke Akali, before she ults to you and kills you? Don't see you lading your own ult, ever

Thing is this doesn't work. Not in my elo anyways. If Nasus gets to free stack he gets to kill my team, since they are stupid enough to a) 1v1 him, and b) are not good enought to get and push an actual lead in other lanes, rendering his split push useless.

This is a very comprehensive, good and useful answer. Thanks {{sticker:slayer-pantheon-thumbs}} About the ban thing, I alwasy ban Kayn these days since he sucks most of the time on my team, and when he is on the enemy team he mor eoften than not doesn't gank my lane, but is 9/3 by 15 minutes and one-shots whoever he wants and escapes with ult and E every time... So yeah.

> If you are single go and %%%% ur self or find other low lifes to play it with you. But... I just can't seem to find anyone who wants me {{sticker:sg-janna}}

fair enough

well, that seems like a hassle {{sticker:sg-zephyr}} . Why not climb while you do it?

> If i'm playing normals and i go top, and i am with a gold/plat friend, i should face the one that is equally matched to me, not my gold adc who isnt even premade with me. Nice. This is my entire post in 1 sentence.

I don't mind going against Gold players in my games, that is just one division above me and is whatever, but 2 full divisions above me? That is not balanced in any way.

Ah, so divisions don't matter at all, B5 is equal to D5, the only real skill gaps start when you get to high Diamond and above? Please. According to his op.gg he has not played any Zed in ranked this season, so hardly a Zed main. I don't mind that he killed me as Zed, I suck vs the champion in general, but assuming equal mecahnical skill on our respective champions he still has game knowledge wayy beyond mine, so why the %%%% should he be in my game? I am not suggesting I am, or should be, good at my champion, Diana that game, so that has nothing to do with my post.

phew, where to begin... > What a platinum, diamond master etc division in rank has anything to do with your normal games ? Assuming neither of us are going into the game with our main champion, which we have 5000+ games on and know every single matchup, he has 2 full divions on me of overall mechanical skill and game knowledge. That is a huge gap in capabilities. Like a body builder arm wrestling with someone who just started working out. Sure, it is not his forte, but he still has quite the advantage. > Each que has its own division, and even if the normal games division (mmr, elo, whatever you want to call it) it's hidden doesn't mean it's not there. That High elo ranked players you meet in normal games they have your mmr in the normal witch has nothing to do with their ranked mmr. This is true and I am well aware of it, which you would know if you read my post, so totally irrelevant. > Also you claim you want to improve, if you want to improve why you don't enjoy a free 1 on 1 lesson from a more skilled and better player then you ? Yeah, my first death was enjoyable. He hit level 2 when we were both in the middle of the wave, and I know that was because he knew when his minions would die, and they would before mine. Totally my bad, and I know not be careless about that in into an assassin matchup with ignite. After this, though, there is no learning experience. He pushes his lead, so if I am in lane I am dead, even under tower. He plays Zed, so he roams to my botlane, who are also Silver, and hence have the map awareness of a headless mole, and obviously blames me for not pinging missing, when I did. He singlehandedly won the game by exploiting my stupid team mates (All Silvers are stupid, me included, red.) and my one misplay lead to that. So 1 minute of learning, 24 of waiting for the game to end. Good ratio. > Improving its when you face better players not if you stomp worse players then you or you face equal players. You learn nothing from a stomp, you learn from playing against someone better than you, the "Oh, you die if you leave fountain" is a lesson I have already learnt many times over. This is all there is to it, when you are low elo, you are not a tank, and the enemy assassin gets fed. So yeah, think next time you react to a post, please :)

Yeah, that seems very tilting. When you are both not playing as seriously as you should in ranked, with your most played champions and such, the skill gap is just sooo huge.. Takes the fun right out of it :/

True, it doesn't happen very often, but when it does it is so tilting and game is practically over when it starts, simply because that one person carries the %%%% out of the team he is on. I find it to be an extremely bad policy to say "most games are balanced, so it is okay", instead of taking steps to make every game balanced, or at least making sure games are not so extremely scewed.

> try to farm around minions no into them Do you mean stand next to minions? If yes, how do I do it in a way that he cannot just dash onto me? > try to poke him from angles and not directly while your out side of yasuo q e . What angles? > try to kill him when his 3 fall and Show him how drunk he is This means walking up, walking up means him jumping on me and killing me before I can kill him, so no
