    Instead of "Queuing for a role" which clearly doesn't work. You should be able to add tags/markers that point out your capabilities for the roles or for certain champions.

    Just giving more information faster would improve the champion select by lightyears.Few examples here

    1) The champions would have a STAR if a player chose that champion as his/her "favourite/preferred". And the STAR would have some sort of implication to tell which player of your team has preferred it. This would require players to be able to choose their favourite/preferred champions in their champion lists. This would make picking/banning a lot easier to manage in the set time limits.

    2) The players BOX (left side of the champion select) would have color depending what "role" the player is most capable of. If they prefer ADC the box would be red. If they prefer APC the box would be blue. If they preferred ADC/APC equally the box would be half blue half red.

    These changes wouldn't enforce the meta but would indicate what the player is most capable of.

    Akali needs changes because she dominates the lower leagues i.e bronze/silver/gold.

    This is because akali is one of the best and easiest snowballers and her capability of punishing people for slight mistakes is lethal. Adjusting the shroud makes the risk/reward factor more manageable and easier to punish akali for her mistakes.

    If RIOT made a better and more comprehensive ping system we wouldn't need to use the chat at all for anything game related. In some games people actually talk "fun things" and discuss strategies, would be shame if someone suddenly hits a limit and can't call misses or announce important things.

    Maybe chat ban the toxic players completely allowing them only to say certain words, i.e Baron, Dragon etc :j Some players will specifically use their "allowed chats" to troll as much as they can. But I'm glad RIOT is doing their best in trying to purify the community.

    There are few scenarios where you can pour all the blame on your teammates

    1) Your team is AFK/Disconnecting

    2) You pick first and it's made clear what you are going to play and no-one is expecting anything else and team ends up having a screwed up composition without an ADC for example.

    3) Someone is blatantly trolling, i.e intentionally feeding by running into their turrets or just playing objectively stupid by sitting in their jungle waiting 5 minutes for a gank or something likewise.

    In every other scenario you are partly to blame even if you went 24/0.

    One common mistake is that people let the game drag on even though they are clearly in the lead, and then you happend to lose a baron fight and lose the game.

  • posted a message on Tips for gold ELO as support.

    In my opinion support isn't a good choice in climbing the elo ladder unless you are duo queueing in bot lane.

    Sure there are few supports that are able to carry but your impact will be more likely higher with other roles. I'm a rather decent support player but I don't function well with bad ADC's and my wards aren't really always as they should be. But looking at my replays I've came into conclusion that even if I played a perfect game as a support I wouldn't be able to impact the game enough to turn it into a victory. Even if you win the bot lane by feeding your ADC it doesn't help if the player doesn't have any perspective of the meta and can't understand simple things as positioning or targeting the correct enemy champions.

    I've started to practice mid/jungle for S3 and the duo queuing I'll be doing is most likely mid & jungle for the sake of getting fed early and having coordinated ganks on the lanes.

    This said if you manage to reach higher ELOs your impact in the game will be a lot bigger as a support.

    I don't think it's acceptable to go into a Co-op games and call people baddies/retards/"uninstall game" or anything like that.

    The reason why people play Co-op vs. Ai is because they are bad or don't want to play competitive game modes.

    People who play Co-op vs AI are a completely different crowd and should be left as so. I don't see AI games viable for practice either.

    I don't mind if the queue takes a bit longer. You'll spend anything from 20-60 minutes in a game, getting better match out of 2 minutes queue time is probably for the better. Queue dodgers will be rather annoying though, espcially in draft.

    Somehow his kit just seems too good...

    Also I have doubts about the passive, having a 20% chance for soul to drop adds a crazy layer of RNG into the champion. Considering if you get mad lucky with first 4-5 waves in a game, you'd be running with quite a big lead in AP/Armor.

    I see a lot of potential in low elo matches because of the ability to save people getting caught.
