While everyone's complaining about their Flex queue MMR and other stuff

I'm just enjoying league in normals.

Like, why would anyone even want to play ranked during the pre-season instead of simply enjoying the chaos for once? The time to tryhard for your rank is over, it's time to relax, play with your friends and have some fun.

I recommend trying to use Powder Kegs. They're quite useful :^)

Because Riot said that if we get our ranks up high, They will take that into consideration when we do our placements in season 7.

and have some fun.

This isn't fun time for Akali mains :P

Friendly reminder, MM is a Mordekaiser main :P

If I were you, I would be spending my time to find out what build I'd wanna use after the changes. We play our mains because we like the champions; not because they are/were strong, right?

I'm ARAM player so.. For me this whole update and pacthes aren't as important :P

That sounds fair.

The correct answer to this is Diana.

There's a level where you just can't anymore. Akali is just too weak to pick if you want a reasonable chance of winning right now.

Mordekaiser after his rework was in a similar spot.

Try giving feedback and appeal to Riot, that's what I did.

LankPants1 votes

Trust me, I and other Akali players have. Riot's refusing to listen. Sure they're buffing her, but they're doing it in the worst way possible.

Malicious Metal1 votes

I'm no Akali main but do you mind me throwing my hat in the ring?

LankPants1 votes

Personally I think there's 3 major changes that need to be made.

Her passive needs a rework, the passive they gave her will always be garbage at least with its current order of operations and I doubt Riot will just give Akali the damage on first strike because it would give her access to immediate burst. The simple fact is that most of the time on your first hit you're at or near full HP and the heal just goes to waste.

What I'd do is make the passive 'After hitting an enemy champ with a basic (non-ult) spell your next AA deals bonus damage and after hitting an enemy champ with an AA your next spell has spell vamp. This effect is doubled if the passive has not been proced in the last 4 seconds.' Give Akali the choice between fighting and repeated passive procs or more powerful, lower risk but lower overall reward procs.

Her R needs to have a lower CD as you rank it. 2 seconds is just too long late game. Either 2/1.5/1 or 2/1.75/1.5 would probably be fine, just not 2 all ranks.

Finally her W needs to be reverted. This spell was just better before the rework and very few Akali players would argue otherwise.

I'm an Aatrox main. I play Aatrox because I enjoy the champion, regardless of his current state. Akali may not be strong, but she isn't weak. You can't play a reworked champion how you used to. Look for different build paths, try out new things. If you enjoy playing the champ, you'll have fun either way.

Actually I've found that playing ranked Flex right now is very relaxing.

As a gold player in Bronze 1, I can dick around as much as I want and not only do people not complain, they don't even realize that I'm cooking dinner while playing mid. The hard MMR reset in ranked brought a lot of people down, so there's plenty of chaos to be had there :)

He said enjoy the chaos, if anything that's what makes blind pick enjoyable, if people can't handle blind pick don't blame it on blindpick lol.

Thank you!

I don't care if flex effects my placements. It probably wouldn't help much anyway.

I finally battled my way out of Bronze V this season, logged in this morning to the you need to play another ranked game message, the other team voted remake, and within 3 minutes of playing, I was back at 0 LP Bronze V. That's a fix?! Yep, I'll be playing normals. Ranked is Bullshit.

I'm a normal draft main.

I'm one of he people keeping it alive in NA servers.

LankPants1 votes

OCE doesn't have normals draft. If I play normals I can guarantee every cancer champion in the game will be picked. Rank is marginally more enjoyable than that when I'm not just trying to get chests.

Jorencice1 votes

Learn how to beat the cancer champs?

You very rarly find a main playing blind pick. Most people who play cancer champs in blind pick are FoTM chasers.

Who are very easy to beat.

I play on my troll account so when they look at ranks they feel safe http://i.imgur.com/mfBDIKF.jpg[/img]

I treat flex queue like normals. I just do me the way I like to do me. Even when that means darius or nasus mid. And not only have I been having fun, but with the stress removed and the likelihood to tilt very low, I've actually been performing hilariously strong in my games. Though I know sometimes I face those disgustingly below my usual mmr, I can't help but feel like I'm playing on overdrive just because the stress/tilt factor isn't there.

I'm going to do my best to try and carry this over to season 7 when "legit ranked" comes out again.

Hi guys i have one question for u ? question is about ranked flex.. My little brother played 10 games and he had a score 7 3 so after that riot placed him into plat 1 , so he played a few days and yesterday he entered to diamond 5 (ranked flex) . Today when he entered into a game that diamond 5 flex was disabled or invisible and he played one more game and he won … after that riot placed him into plat 4..whats the problem or whats the clue??

Unfortunately, there's only three servers where you can actually enjoy yourselves in normals.

Jorencice2 votes

Maybe if your a mid main.

As a fill main i quite enjoy blind pick as any lane is good enough for me.

Because premades fcked up DQ for me so I want to fck it up for them with my Zed and Yas jungle.

P.S: Not trolling but just love hearing them scream it and then get carried after I finish 2 items. ^^

People playing ranked pre season because that ranking still carry over to the new season to determine where you will place.

Back in season 3 i ended gold but climbed to plat during pre season and for season 4 i got placed in plat instead of gold or below that.

I'd love to but Katarina's rework has left me with balls resembling the Blue Man Group having a heated argument between my thighs.... And if Katarina is giving someone blue balls then you know something has gone horribly wrong somewhere xP

JerulEon1 votes

If you have blue balls doesn't that mean you are turned on? Sounds like a success.

MrWasjig1 votes

Fair dos I used the term a little incorrectly.

What I'm saying is, I hate her new kit.

HazyCloud71 votes

Me too, just enjoying some norm draft and rotating queue/aram this pre-season.

Perhaps they can bring back norm draft to all regions so that they aren't forced into playing blind pick if they want to do a norm. Yikes.

StrikeAlpha1 votes

...I was silver 5 before the flex reset. Now I'm bronze 1. And I got placed there after a remake that I didn't cause. -_-

VoidBorn131 votes

You mean you can actually find a game in normals? Lucker fuck, I can't find shit without waiting a good 10+ minutes with auto-fill constantly in the background ready to go "Hey you thought this game we made you wait almost 20 minutes for would be nice? No here's a %%%% that got auto-filled support so they're going Katarina supp."

i just play ranked and don't worry about the rank. people are more competitive so the games are more fun for someone who truly doesn't give a f***

Kynami1 votes

I've honestly been enjoying the opportunity to dunk plats and the occasional diamond in normals when they disrespect my zone of control as Morgana or Zyra. My Sona on the other hand is mostly on hold most matches unless I'm picking after the other support is confirmed picked.
