That Feel When You See Your Main On Freeweek

Restless Slumber··7 votes·933 views

So, I main Jinx and have a ton of fun playing her and carrying on her. She is the most reliable champ that I can play. The one champ that if I want to win, I pick her because I know I can carry as long as I don't have any hindrances in laning phase.

Onto, the important part. Does anyone else have the same feeling I have when they see their main played by free week players. You see them build the wrong items, skill the wrong abilities, and can't even play the role at all properly. Does anyone else feel a sense of anger when they see someone else destroying your champ. Now don't get me wrong, I don't verbally abuse anyone when I see this, but inside I always have that feeling of someone ruining my champion and making others think the champ is bad because some random played them poorly.

IDK, post below if you feel the same about your main. Feel free to post who they are, and what are the most common annoyances you see from free week players play them :D

Not really. I mean, it's Free Week, they're using the champion for a reason, they want to try them out. Which is how all mains start off.

I understand that, but I'm at a very low elo for my skill, being that I regularly have hard carry games on free week champs and of course my mains. The reason it upsets me and others is sheerly the fact that people aren't as good as us at that particular champ. I do however understand what you're getting at and is how I find my new champs, but it's just my experience that almost all players in a single game in my elo do trashy and only like 2 do well on average.

I'm a LeBlanc main so whenever i face someone who is not fully comfortable playing her i just like to give them support and encouragement. I want them to get better and make awesome plays with her, tbh i wish everyone in League knew how to play LeBlanc that way i can learn a lot from other LeBlanc players

Wow, you're the first I've seen of this. Good to you my man.

Kennen not a lot of people play him..

well it doesnt make a difference for jinx mains. you can play poorly then you get some crit and your q does crit dmaage and eventually you go on a killing spree and go full build. tfw you miss everything but know how to press aa.

I find that pretty mean to say when my friends know me for my skill on Jinx. I regularly hit my ult across the map. I am always in the CS lead (unless supp is afk). For you to say that she takes no skill is sad, as I have seen too many free week jinxes feed their asses off. Please take your negativity somewhere else.

SpectralRaven1 votes

no offense and i dont usually say this.. but what skill? jinx is the easiest adc next to caitlyn. you can go 0-3 but if you take the game to late your damage is going to be cancer regardless. if your triggered by the truth you can stop downvoting and actually tell me what difference there is between you and a new jinx player

Restless Slumber1 votes

The difference is that new Jinx players lose the game before they get to lategame. I regularly snowball on her. Even my friend, who is league's better than me and an ADC main has only fed the games I have seen him play Jinx. To say that she is easy is so disgusting. I have never seen another Jinx in game hard carry. I have seen plenty of Vayne's, Tristana's, and Kalista's hard carry games, but in my time have seen no-one else hard carry on Jinx in my games. I'm sorry that you're the type of guy that thinks everyone is OP and easy to play, but that just isn't the case.

i was going to smash my keyboard when you said that but i saw that ur silver 5. i take back all i said. everyone in ur elo is braindead and thats the truth. this isnt a "im better than you comment" its just that i thought u were gold-diamond when you said youve never seen someoen hard carry as jinx and that she wasnt easy.

Restless Slumber1 votes

LOL. Yea... A difference in ELO is definitely going to be a decider here. I thought you were some bronze noob listening to everyone on the forums about her pre-nerf. Honestly if I wanted to really climb with her I could and I would probably find better players, but at the moment I'm waiting for the new season. But yes, in a division where people already have good mechanics she is considered easy. (BTW my friend I mentioned is G1-P5, not sure if he's still ranking).

idk man your too busy downvoting than making valid points. you just copy pasted my message and rewrote it.

Restless Slumber1 votes

How? I'm quite confused.

SpectralRaven1 votes

try reading

Restless Slumber1 votes

It's not exactly a copy paste/re-write. I'm just explaining my side of the story. Don't have to be rude man. I also stopped downvoting after the first 2 because of the change in what you're saying. I'm honestly still confused with why you're saying I'm not making valid points. I'm just giving you an image of what I see on a daily basis pretty much.

SpectralRaven1 votes

jinx is one of those champs where no matter how bad you do early you will get fed late if you know how to farm and position half decent. her q in teamfights is why i hope she gets removed.

Restless Slumber1 votes

That is some cold hard hate. And what I'm trying to say, and the whole point of this thread is to point out the people who gimp your favorite champ. No need to have hate man. BTW, she's one of the most popular champs in the game, don't think she's going anywhere soon. :D

I literally didn't see a single other Morgana player during free week last week. I was super hopeful for mirror matches too :/

Restless Slumber1 votes

Wow, I've seen tons of morgana's. And I find Morgana syndrome to be more real than lee-syndrome. Every time I have one support me they can't hit a binding, every one on the other team is a god. Must be because of the difference in ELO maybe. I'm not sure. Quite interesting to see no one play her on your side.

MudintheWater1 votes

Oh I'm the other Morgana that you stay away from if you want to live. I played her mid every game hoping for mirror matches, but never even saw a support Morgana on the enemy team. Last time she was free I got one mirror match and it was tons of fun, was hopeful to repeat it.

EndlessSorcerer2 votes

I thought that Lee Sin-drome was the inexplicable urge to follow up on every Q you land, no matter how suicidal.

Restless Slumber1 votes

I guess there's 2 definitions because it's the same for someone like nidalee.

Surfer Ashe2 votes

The amount of times I see Jinx, I think she's permanently rostered on free week.

Restless Slumber1 votes

LOL. Very true. Pretty sure she's one of the top most popular champions in the game due to her awesome kit and personality.

NapaIm1 votes

So I main Caitlyn, been maining her since level 7, and everyone says she is the easiest adc to play, but after her changes I feel like she actually requires some skill an decision making now. Do you 90 cal for the damage but risk 19 seconds without an escape? Can you effectively ult rather than pop it every time its off cd for poke? I see a lot of Caitlyn players in free week not doing it right. I'm even comfortable in the Jinc vs Cait match-up.

Caitlyn mirror matches are the worst though. Literally her advantage is now moot, and her kit isn't fun to mirror the way LB/Fizz ones are.

Restless Slumber1 votes

Yea, sums up what I feel too. I do agree that with her rework with her guaranteed headshot it makes her require a bit more skill. Although with the runaan's changes I'm finding cait to be the best adc after she builds it because it grants her headshots faster because of the bolts. I do feel like ADC is the role that most freeweek players gimp the most.

Since I main Bard, I can hardly play during free week. People automatically assume you are either going to suck with him (he does take lots of practice) or you are trolling with him.

Restless Slumber1 votes

Yea, I played bard on freeweek, did successful with him and told all of my friends that don't play well with complex kits to try him. I actually don't play ADC when him or Morg are on freeweek as freeweek players of these champs pretty much auto tilt me. lol

Drive By Max1 votes

Getting angry at them because they want to play a champion that they don't have much experience is not a good thing at all.

To be fair, at your level of play, mine too, we are always on tilt. Just saying. If solo queue ranked.

Restless Slumber1 votes

I don't get angry ingame or anything like I stated earlier. It's more that it makes me sad to see people do poorly with someone that I personally hold dear as Jinx is my favorite character out of anything ever. I also understand what you mean with the whole tilt thing, people will tilt on pretty much anything because of how it doesn't fit the pretty picture they have painted in their head.

Kitten of Evil1 votes

Anivia just kidding, nobody plays her unless they actually want to. Or if they get her on ARAM.

ltmetal1 votes

I'm a Diana main, and it gives me botherations when I see item 3115 first item. I know the pros do it and everything, but that only works when your strategy is to TP to a side lane and play Farm Simulator 2.0. 99 times out of 100, it's better to go double Doran's and then get item 3001 vs AP or item 3157 vs AD, only picking up Nashor's if you need to clear waves like a beachcomber.

ralsei1 votes

Agreed. I usually only go item 3115 if we need to siege. I actually tend to rush item 3089 if winning in lane, or item 3001 /item 3157 if the laning phase is even or I'm losing. But god, is the wave clear mid game not the most satisfying thing ever?

kasfas1 votes

I cringe whenever I see someone build ravenous on sion. It's really not good for him. The only acceptable excuse for getting it is being up 5 kills or so, and even then, I oh should be using q for damage and not autos.

Bard You have no idea the pain and misery that is watching an inexperienced Bard as a Bard main

RekSai why the hell are people jungling her? She's a freaking top laner ! Not mention building full tank so she's just a knockup bot.

charcharmunro1 votes

Basically how I feel when somebody builds item 3027 and item 3003 on Singed and think they're the best at builds.

Restless Slumber1 votes

Doesn't SirhceZ build those when he's feeling extra spicy?

Athenes Lulu1 votes

This is sorta why I play ranked primarily.

People actually suck at Lulu suppprt because she doesn't have memorized combos. People can't play her like bots, therefore they fail at the job.

Restless Slumber1 votes

Yep. I find that most people who don't main support especially suck at it for some reason. But yea, my friend who mains Tahm supp will get mad on skype when he sees someone not play as aggro as he would.
