I'd like to tell you a story...

So I'm playing my first Ranked game for seeding. I'm jungling as Hecarim and the early game is going well. For the most part bot is winning, I helped give mid lane first blood and we even get first Dragon. OurRiven is slightly loosing to aTeemo but it didn't bother me way to much, I mean every one knows that aRiven is way more usefull than a Teemo right? So as mid game comes a few mistakes are made here and there but nothing to serous, our Graves has more farm and Kills than than the enemyVarus and the fights are going good. I'm 10/0/15 or so on Hecarim even. Now come around the 35 min mark and we have an inhibitor taken at their base, but they also have one taken in ours. Now it's late game. We manage to kill their jungler and supp in a fight and have our lane pushed up just enough to snag a quick baron. Every one is at half or so HP but I have enough to tank Baron and secure it. So this is where it gets REALLY good. We just took baron and the enemy Teemo shows up at baron pit. My entire team, minus me (because supers are pushing nexux towers), decides to chase the Teemo into the jungle on blue side (the side Teemo has been pushing all game. They start running into mushroms. Now at first you'd think, "Well that Teemo hasitem 3151 item 3089 item 3135 item 3157 item 3128 item 3255 it would be best to avoid those mushrooms at all costs". But my entire team chases him despite mushroom after mushroom they run over. In short they give Teemo a Quadra Kill and the rest of the enemy team comes and ends the game.

Teemo Never underestimate the power of the scout's code.

When that happens you just need to remind yourself that you'll see a fool on the enemy team throw a game just as often as you'll see a fool on your team throw. Still sucks though.

Ah, the gambler's fallacy.

Ah, the gambler's fallacy.

The gambler's fallacy would be to assume that in your next game you will get a throw in your favor. However, what he's talking about is just regression to the mean.

No. Thinking that everyone is in the mean is gambler's fallacy too. Most people will be in the mean, but you'll get some people who get trolls on their team more often and people who see trolls on the enemy team more often.

LankPants3 votes

If you play a large number of games you'll see more trolls on the enemy team, since there are 5 slots open for them there and only 4 on your team. Assuming you'll see more trolls on your team over a large sample of games is incorrect. That is unless you yourself do something to cause the trolls.

Reversion to the mean isn't a gamblers fallacy, the gamblers fallacy is saying 'because x happened now y must happen later' when there is no causal link between the two events. Reversion to the mean takes in a large sample and as such avoids the gamblers fallacy.

An example is that if I were to role a dice 5 times and see 2,5,3,4,1 I can't assume that the next role will be 6, that would be a gamblers fallacy. However if I roll a dice 500 times I can expect to see around 83 6's, this is reversion to the mean.

More gambler's fallacy. "If 100 people flip a coin 100 times, every person will get 50 tails and 50 heads".

That is not how statistics work.

SecretAgentHulk5 votes

How statistics do work: "If 100 people flip a coin 100 times, it is reasonable to assume that it will come out to somewhere near 5000 heads and 5000 tails."

Akesgeroth1 votes

Oh, absolutely. It means there will be an equal number of people who get tails more often and people who get heads more often. But that's kind of my point. Not everyone's experience is average.

I really wish this was the case. I've been playing aram all night and I'm up to 4 afks on my team, none on the other so far. Ranked has never been different, which is why I'm in aram instead for all the good it did me (2 afks in placements out of 5 games, 0 on the enemy team go figure). The vast majority of people don't play enough games for the law of big numbers to matter. Pretending it will even out for most people is a fallacy in itself.

Chase Teemo, they said. He's not like Singed they said.

junglerboy165 votes

They should've learned from the memes a long time ago that the only person that is even close to "don't chase singed" status is a teemo with a shroom nest...

Was he cottontail teemo for maximum global taunt?

Hahah, the chase is real. Oh man, I'm sorry. Doesn't take a Gold to decide chasing Teemo into his territory (top jungle) isn't worth it. If you weren't spamming danger pings at them, you should; sometimes they listen if you do it enough.

Never seen a single hecarim win in s5. Not once. I've seen a few get carried after I counter jungle the fuck out of them and take every dragon yet still somehow manage to have a team that throws. But actually do well themselves? No.

Really? Every hecarim I've seen in season 5 totally carried their team to victory

Albeit i have only seen one Hecarim

ImHerVoice1 votes

lmfao Yeah I've only seen 10. out of the few games i've played since reset. This includes hec top players. Which apparently is a thing in LAN. Idk. They have wierd shit there, I don't really question it.

Hellish Prophecy1 votes

Hecarim is pretty powerful. I am learning Hec right now and since I am not a great jung Hec I took him top lane against Gnar. On his free weeks I used to grab Trinity, Hydra, then get tanky. (not to mention the boots) It was so satisfying to shut down their Azir, their Twitch, AND the Gnar once he started roaming. All in a span of less than 5 seconds. Besides J4 (before people started calling him OP every time his name comes up) Hec might be one of the most hilarious champs to play!

This is why its worth to have replays.

Yeh, just finished a game 12/4/12 as Vi. Carried the entire game until the end when my mates wanted to buy after an Ace than push the nexus. We lost, and although I don't understand how going positive almost every game and winning 6/10 got me Bronze 3, I got demoted to Bronze 4. Gotta love it. I'll be stuck in Bronze all season probably because of mates like this. Now I can truly experience LoL in all its glory.

I was support Lux , my team starts feeding the Akali and lose a teamfight while I am buying a couple of wards. They start calling me useless... keep in mind our Zed was 4/13 and our Jinx was only 6/9 due to our jungler ganking a couple of times. They said I was only useful if I bought item 2049 so...I sold all my items and got all 6 sightstones. Thinking they will say sorry or something, they instead said Good Job and to start warding -.-

It's that global rage. When players see Teemo all reasoning goes to the wayside. But seriously you would think that after the first mushroom they would think twice but...

I started playing after Teemo was turned into a niche pick. He's one of my favorite champions. I never got to see all the forum posts complaining about Teemo. *sniff* *crying Steve Martin voice* Thank you.

You can't rely on your team, no matter what. So be a player and get your four boy/girl friends to learn about the game and listen to your every command. LOL, Rito plz.
