*jumps in randomly* o/

The best way to enjoy a game of league, I've found, is to not care about what your teammates do outside of playing the game. You can give suggestions but you can't control what the 4 other people on your team are doing. Yeah, it's frustrating if your yi builds no attack speed, crit, or sustain and wonders why he's constantly 1v3ing and dying "when he has 4 items" but there's nothing you can do about it. Playing with friends and not taking the game so seriously are great ways to remedy this.

Interestingly enough, I've found the same logic applies to NationStates :p

And I can totally get behind playing bot games. I've been playing a long time and I still love a good bot-slaughter, especially if I'm struggling on a particular day.

You play to win the game. You don't play it just to play it.

Okay, I see the issue here. You're one of those guys. The kind who treat a random casual match like the championship of the LCS. If that's your attitude, maybe it's best you've quit. It makes the game funner for everyone else.

If you're not going to take the game seriously you shouldn't be playing ranked matches. It's a pretty simple concept that too many people can't seem to understand. Normals and ARAM exist for a reason.

Well they shouldn't bitch moan and complain and run to Riot when they get yelled at. Certainly, they could find fun in that right?

No, that's exactly what they should do. When people are toxic (Like the vibe you're giving off) and suck the fun out of the game, a report is totally justified.

Or they could, you know, just mute them. Wait nevermind that's too hard. Now I'm actually glad I quit this shitty game.

That's a bit like saying if you see a crime you should just ignore it instead of calling the police.

Seems interesting, but I feel like how he plays is almost dependant on the enemy team.
Like if they have a strong adc, then you're going to want to focus them, which means you'll end up with his shadow form, whereas if they have a strong mid assassin or carrry top, then you're going to want to focus them and end up with his darkin form.

Edit: That, and more often than not you don't really get to choose who you attack based on what you want, but more who you need to pressure.

A combination I'd say. And I shit you not, Riot code-named him "Edgelord Assassin" during production.
