Xander Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Then shouldn't it work both ways? I had a lucky streak of 9. 60 LP in Plat 1. I had an unlucky streak of 9. I went from 97 LP to 4 (93 loss, fortunately I'm back up to 85 as of this writing, so I need ~3 wins more than losses in order to reach promos) And before you start saying "your MMR wasn't high enough" it was. It turned green several times (on that site, indicating my MMR was very high for my placement) as I went up to 97 LP. Incidentally, I'm not greatly against clamping, but I would much rather just have "equalized" gains and losses across the board so the progression feels about the same no matter where I am in the tier (obviously on the basis of my MMR). There are better solutions out there and incidentally, winning streaks can still be quite favorable anyways in a clamped division because it means you're more likely to exit the other end of the clamp zone, making what looks like a frustrating grind a moderately pleasant one. Edit: Clamping is also apparently there because of the "you can't drop out of a tier" thing, so in order to achieve a tier, your MMR has to be more than high enough to deserve the actual tier to compensate, hence Div1 clamping. What was the exact number of your mmr? I've seen people on that site who had green mmr in plat 1 but still 1900 something mmr and were still clamped, I'm sure there's a bare minimum your mmr has to be until clamping stops, so it has less to do with the site saying you're beyond your league and actually meeting the requirement of points. Almost everyone thinks they're better than they are but if you're clamped I guarantee you haven't reached the threshold for the next tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Does anyone else have a PBE account? The changes on PBE are pretty damn cool :P. I do, but aren't they changing it so you don't have it soon and have to sign up every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 man i love swain so much but i'm so bad at him tips? Spam your Q and E on the other guy in lane, when you hit 6 either get blue or a tear/chalice and push up to enemy tower and continue to Q and E them under tower. That's pretty much what every swain I've ever played against has done and before you point out the obvious flaw with this strategy you remember this is solo q and your jungler WON'T come and help you if you're being pushed up to tower.

That's when the clamps broke the first time through. Incidentally, what I'm trying to get at is the system clamps you going up, but it doesn't clamp you coming down. It clamped like..2 losses for me, but then I was losing LP at the same rate as any other division or just about. On the other hand, it clamped about 7-8 wins on the way up. Pretty annoying, to say the least, but I must fight on. I'm close. Edited November 2, 2013 by Interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkin Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 This new heimer seems to be awesome for twisted treeline and ARAM. The turrets make such a great defense and offense line. Its a shame their max health is only 575 though. Wish it was higher to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame their max health is only 575 though. Wish it was higher to be honest. Quite so. I've been using him to VERY great effect on Ranked Twisted Treeline. He makes most melee champions feel miserable when they try to dive on his face. 4 Turrets can do that. So I need some advice I bought Steel Legion Garen while he was on sale last week, but my friend just gifted me Rugged (stupidsexy) Garen. Should I refund SPESS MAHRIN Garen or keep both? I probably wouldn't. You can swap skins every once in awhile when playing Garen and Steel Legion Garen on sale was worth it and not exactly that RP expensive anyways.

eclipse Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Geez, it takes a special kind of asshole to berate their own teammates WHILE THEY'RE WINNING. (yes, this happened, and yes, that sucks) EDIT: See, I was playing Graves the first game. We won. I go in again, and get Graves again. The result: The (awesome) Mundo in the previous game suggested Hurricane, and being able to dash in four-second bursts is really nifty.

Zanarkin Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Should Heimerdinger build more of a sustained damage build, or more of a bursty build? I personally feel like he should build a more sustained damage because his cooldowns are high and while he can be extremly bursty, particularly with qerw, I feel like its more of a wasted oportunity in a teamfight set up since your turrets can do a lot of damage to their whole team and you can be round forlonger making sure your turrets stay.

Eail Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 [spoiler= Ode to Top Lane] Our champions are summoned. I've countered my lane, And all signs are pointing To a quick easy game. My farm is outrageous And no ganks are needed I trade all day long And their top has retreated. Their jungler is antsy And now they're in trouble Cuz they just tried to gank me And I pulled off a double I grab a quick red And I'm looking so ill; To their mid who's extended Thanks for the free kill. Fast forward a few And hey what you know? This game's going great, I'm 11 and 0. I'm so in the zone And focused on winning That I haven't hit TAB Ever since the beginning. With horror I look At our bottom lane's score ADC and support are both 0-24. I've busted my ass And I've played like a boss. Thank you you morons For ensuring a loss. Now their horribad top Is talking some smack Cuz his noob ass got carried So hard that it's whack. Maybe next time League will give me a TEAM Until then I'll play bots To go blow off some steam.

Interest Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm pretty much switching in to mid lane from top until I reach Diamond. Mid just has so much presence it's almost disgusting. I'm also enjoying support as well - practicing it for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
