Ditto
This deserves more upvotes than the original discussion itself
I was expecting the blank smartness confirmed
Hovered over link and thought it was bugged since nothing showed up Clicked and refreshed thinking my pc was slow Finally got joke Nice

This strat is incredibly underrated.
3+ Zz'rot portals becomes incredibly hard to siege against.
And maybe 
Thank you
Except that there are still people who say "Come on guys we can make a comeback" when the enemy is at our inhibs and we've taken no towers or dragons.
I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they've just been on a 2-month hiatus, but when I look at their match history, they've played more games since 5.22 than I have.
It makes me sad.
Last week I got to a 25-4 (!!) deficit. We won the game. (if you would be interested in that game by any chance, which is very unlikely, I put it online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8meP7rC7wQ and someone from my team made a compilation video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo-9qyBVnhQ )
It's harder to get a come-back since preseason patches, but it's still possible. Last thursday or friday I got someone who called "ff 20" at minute 10 with a score of something like 9-4. He stopped playing and stood next to the nexus turret dancing. What happened to people having some balls and face struggle.
"What happened to people having some balls and face struggle."
I can't point out anything specific, but overall, the preseason changes just made losing games... miserable (even more so than it might already be for some). In the (almost) three years since I created my account, I can't remember another time where I consistently played games that were just depressing, anti-fun experiences.
It is frustrating when people straight-up stop playing, but it's not something that can be entirely blamed on the player as of 5.22/23, as even I've come close to leaving in-progress games, and I'm the kind of person who used to almost always vote "no" when the surrender prompt came up.
I'm not condoning leaving/trolling games, I'm just saying that I can see where such players may be coming from...
You can't even solo carry anymore due to the minion changes. The minion changes force you to group up because if you split off to farm a wave, they can 5 man engage dive and don't even have to worry that the wave will push back.
Because while I don't like leavers like the rest of anyone, the game is meant to be fun. Even losing the game should be fun, not a bulldozer for either side. The game is boring right now, I literally get no joy when I wtfown the enemy nor when I am the one getting plowed.
So I really don't think negatively for the people that try to stick it out for 20 minutes and see the game is clearly lost then afk. I am starting to do the same myself a bit. I will just afk farm til the game ends. I am usually optimistic as well but when the enemy hasn't lost a single tower, you are to your base and they have controlled baron and dragon the entire game, you aren't winning and I would rather not waste my time. Team game or not.
there is only one thing you can do if the enemy starts to snowball... HOPE THEY ARE COMPLETE MORONS!
usually works 89.3% of the time
60% of the time it works every time
If complete morons start snowballing on you, then.. Well.. You ain't bright either :P
Did anybody else try dragging the mouse to highlight the giant block of nothingness hoping there was a hidden text? -________-
I expected to see the word "nothing". This was better
Riot's Logic: 'Well, if we have minions push against towers automatically, the behind people could farm and come back!' Actual Logic: "Oh hey, Baron, Dragon, and every jungle camp ever is up for grabs because those unlucky sods are behind and thus have no waveclear because these minions also have more health while they have no damage, let's snowball even harder!"
Minions don't gain health from the new changes. They gain reduced damage taken FROM OTHER MINIONS, not from champions or towers. It's deliberately designed to make the lane unfreezable by the ahead team but NOT stop any champion from waveclearing as well as they normally would.
Of course if you picked a team without waveclear, or your ability to waveclear depends on items you haven't farmed up to yet, then that's still going to be hard.
not much to be done honestly. my mentality makes me keep on trying. but I have yet to comeback from a tough losing game. it just doesn't happen anymore. imma start surrendering more often nowdays.
This so much this, it doesn't feel good to be on either side of this spectrum. Stomping people is fun for about 5 min after that it's just repetitive, being stomped makes you feel like there is nothing you can do in the entire game to stop it, there is no more hold off and don't fight to catch back up this game is on a terrible downward spiral and it saddens me I used to love this game.

Ya double posted.[slayer-jinx-unamused]
Yea the post button froze on me, deleting one, alot of people have been doing it, sometimes your post doesn't show after you hit post and the boards freeze, it's a known problem.
I stared at the screen for like a minute to see if this would load... [slayer-jinx-unamused]
Stick your butt higher in the air because there is no stopping it from happening...
Hahahaha Clever
spread that ass wide
Better make that a stickie
came in expecting some curl up and cry meme, was not disappointed tho
Ironically, I've seen a few threads about how long games are taking now.
This patch I had mah first hour+ game. Bought like a 45min RoA as Karma and actually got it to max stacks.
yeah but it doesn't happen as much as it used to. most matches are now decided in 10-20 minutes. they could go up to 40. but its useless effort. though most end at 20-30 mins. i'd say about 3/5
That's the thing though, it isn't that the game actually takes 30-60 minutes to decide, it just takes that long for them to beat the horse to death...
I think that's what Riot are trying to achieve. Minimize the emount of drawn-out lost games, while giving the players the right of comeback in cases where it can happen.
I was waiting for this to load. So now I feel sort of stupid...
I figured this would just have said 'surrender.' but I have to admit, this is a lot funnier.
Well freaking played.
Thought i was having internet issues, which is rare, then it hit me... it was a great joke.
Cracked me up.
Absolutely hilarious.
I have just started playing hard core again, since patch 5.15 or w.e.
I am so close to Plat 2,
But the games are inevitable, I'm either snowballing or being snowballed.
The game is usually decided by about 15 minutes.
There's no long run, or strategic thinking, it all comes down to the 5v5 TF.
there's no wombo combo anymore, if your team is winning, and ur v.s an ori, amu and mf, etc, if the yare 10 kills behind, its done, even with all their ults in sync, it doesn't make a difference.
What to do when the enemy team snowballs
Step One: Stand Firmly legs spaced evenly Step Two: bend forward Step Three: Tuck head firmly between your legs Step Four: Kiss your ass goodbye
Incorrect. You can type /ff on the topic of typing,what did you type to get this?
