PSA: If you've never played on Twisted Treeline, you're not gonna get gold on the last day

I had a master tier (though I strongly suspect elo boosting, especially since he had 0 LP) Vayne on his main champ on my team, who played like a total brainless monkey. And that's just one example. So many people who obviously have no clue what they're doing on the last days of the season suggest that people decided to get that amber chroma by Nov 12th. Guess what, it's not gonna happen.

Got placed into silver due to bad placements yesterday. Managed to climb to gold, but I've never in my 7 years of playing league struggled so much with teammates not knowing how the map works. The amount of low to mid diamond players coming from solo queue not knowing anything about TT made this the worst experience I've had with league this year, BY FAR!

Every other ranked was 10 games straight to gold so I had to play like 50 games of this stuff and I still didn't make it. Fug I just want 4 teammates again.

Yeah, last two years I have played something like 15-25 TT games just to get that sweet gold chroma.

It's really not that different from SR. Takes a bit of getting used to, is all.

What? I just did placements and got placed gold 5.. I found this mode way way easier than rift too. Probably because I tend to hit more stuff in the thin corridors idk. Literally grinded gold in flex for 2 weeks than got tt in an evening. Just had my teammates explain me what to do and all good

MY favorite game was

My Team : ME (plat 5) Silver 4 Bronze 2.

Enemy Team : Plat 2 Plat 2 (duo) Silver 5.

Seems legit.

I didnt even finish the last 2 games of TTL, i suspect id get bronze, and dont even want to accept that outcome.

Shoot, even flex put me in Silver 1, when im playing against all golds and plats (AND EVEN DIAMONDS SOMETIMES)

i GAIN 30LP per win, after promos im 4 win 1 loss and already in promos, ranked placements are more of a joke, and less of a "this is a valid estimate of your skill level."

It's not that hard to hit gold off of placements even if its their first season for that game mode.

False. I played all 10 placement matches in one day and placed plat 1. I never touched the mode any season prior to this one.

How often does EU and Na have TT? OCE only has it twice a week making it somewhat hard to play constantly

We always have TT

Servant Ruler2 votes

Lucky bastard, we have TT on Saturday and Sunday from 3pm to 1am. Makes it stupidly hard to climb if you work at night

YoRHa 2B2 votes

Lucky bastards are those who don't have TT and they just need 50 wins in ranked to get chroma

Amber, who says they weren't trying for the Peridot? XD You have to have all 3 queues to get Amber, it doesn't mean they already did 5s and Solo XD

just play a juggernaut and you will win

There are a few pocket picks that u cannot win without. Stuff like cho'gath sion jg kayn poppy mundo veigar/lux/brand are a must. There are alot more but can't list them all at once.

I just played on TT since I was board of SR and there were four bots between both teams. Is this a normal occurrence?

I mean.... I ranked gold 5 for Soloque after placements Gold 3 for Dynamic after placements, and I am sure when I finish my placements I will place in gold so you are not correct saying that you won't get it last day. Although for most people Gold Elo or lower won't place gold, but that master tier player will most likely place gold.

I encounter plenty of enemy teams that are literally all diamond while I'm just trying to get from Gold 1 to Plat. Every other game I get matched with it. Otherwise its a team thats actually an appropriate matchup, in which I usually win or have an excellent match against. Basically stalled out of the climb.
