Pretty sure I've spent at least 7x that. $100 dollars in skins doesn't seem like a lot.
now i gotta work my ass off to get outta b5
you always gotta work to get out of your current elo, nothing new.
stupid ass placement crap system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if this is how you type in game then idk how you ever got above B4 in the first place. Raging throws games.

It is a lot. What you've spent is just insane on the other hand.
Tsunday1 votesI buy a lot of birthday/christmas present for college friends who don't live close by as skins. When Dawngate closed I also got like 240 in refunds and I pretty much transferred it into league. The way I see it is I'd spend 30-40 dollars for a 40-60 hour game and if I play a character for ~20-40 hours there isn't any reason not to get a skin for them. I'm still saving money compared to playing other games.
Stephenizgod1 votesHonestly there isnt that big of a problem, if you dont want to be Bronze, climb out.

Easier said than done my friend
Stephenizgod1 votesYes i know i got placed in Bronze either last season or the season before. I'll probably be placed in Bronze this season too, ive lost the first 2 games and am slightly hesitant to play the remaining 8. I know i belong in at least Silver so eventually ill make my way back up.
Tsunday1 votesNaw not really. I spent 600 or so games in B4 (75lp) - B2 (50lp) and then I looked at my play and what was wrong with it, I went from B4 75lp (where I ended S4) all the way to S3 in less than a month during preseason. Bronze is all mostly about not chasing and mechanics. If you know how to combo your abilities and how to land your skillshots then it's not hard to win a game in Bronze imo.

You forget its a team game I have to rely on 4 other people to be better than their opponents as well which is rare. Also I'm in bronze 5 because people decided to afk in 5 of my promotional matches. My gameplay may not be the best but at least I stay in the bloody game.
Tsunday1 votesWhat were you at the end of preseason?
Also I'm in bronze 5 because people
Also naw that is never the answer. You should be blaming almost everything on yourself every game. You carry games by not doing stupid shit, you carry 4v5s by doing even less stupid shit. A 4v5 is still winnable until everyone gets level 18 and nearing full build unless the enemy team is really stupid. If you were in a 4v5 and you lost your lane, then you can't blame it on the AFK. If you were a 4v5 and you engaged on a bad fight then you can't blame it on the AFK. Being a 4v5 doesn't mean you instantly lose the game, it means you can't be an idiot running into the middle of the teamfight and just throwing abilities at everything.
My gameplay may not be the best but at least I had a good reason to blame other people for 5 of my games.
ftfy. Staying in the game doesn't mean much. Skill level isn't a scale of how good you are at staying in the game it's a scale of how good your gameplay is. It's about what you do while you're in the game. It's about your attitude in the game, if you're gonna get mad at other people (for DC, AFK, Feeding) you aren't going to play your best.
If you got placed in Bronze 5 you were losing promos to Bronze 4/5 players. If your skill level is that different (because remember they said you would drop a little more than likely) then you should easily get fed in lane and if you're getting fed in lane you should definitely be able to carry a B5 5v5 and you should still be able to pull the weight of 2 people in a 4v5.
One of the things about the soft reset is a lot of people they placed a little bit lower and gave them a higher hidden MMR. So the system probably thinks you're Bronze 4 and put you in Bronze 5 with a Bronze 3 or Bronze 2 MMR. It would mean that when you win games you're getting 20-25lp and when you're losing games you're losing 8lp, making it easier to climb. If you consistently win games your hidden MMR is going to raise while you're rank raises meaning that as you get out of B5/4/3 you have a SIlver MMR and are still getting 20-25lp for a win.
Also you don't really have to rely on 4 players to be better than their opponents. In bronze you can solo carry a lot of games from almost any role. I played over 76% of my games as support last season. It wasn't like I was picking Akali and then facerolling the entire team, I was playing Soraka, Janna, Braum, Leona, Thresh, Lulu. Any support you could name (except blitz) I was playing it. I don't do the DPS as Soraka even when I go full AP on her. Doesn't mean I couldn't carry games as her. If you excel in your role it means the enemy laner isn't doing well which means that you have a strong point in your team they don't. If you win toplane you have an unstoppable tank that the enemy team can't get through but at the same time their tank is underfed so they also have no frontline to protect their backline. If you win midlane you have someone to instagib their ADC (not their midlaner because their midlaner doesn't do damage), if your ADC wins lane you have a higher damage output than the enemy team, if the support wins lane you have more sustain/peel/cc. It's a strategy game based on working with what you have.
ScurvyNave1 votesThanks for the explanation of the MMR and reset I appreciate it and your response but I do say that while 4v5's are winnable and I have won them before it is still not a situation that should happen.
Quality can overcome quantity but rarely is that the case since whatever position is missing their opponent will have free farm or roam and get stronger faster and turtling only works so well with new dragon stacks.
Tsunday1 votestheir opponent will have free farm or roam and get stronger faster
in a case like that the only opponent who should get free farm is the enemy jungler somebody should take the place of the empty lane, lane swaps used if needed. Honestly though in Bronze 5 the junglers get free farm anyway.
Thanks for the explanation of the MMR and reset I appreciate it My friend was G5 last season aand got placed B3 this season, he's getting +40LP for a win and he won a game at B3 and got promoted directly to B1 so you'll definitely find your place if you place consistently.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesYou're there because your MMR sucked. If you wanted to get placed higher, you had the chance to get as high as you could before the season started and you didn't take it (or maybe you did take it, and lost against ppl you shouldn't have).

You sure you got enough skins? I got more and got placed higher, maybe you should spend more.
