Also what are your opinions on Zed?

I think he's actually pretty meh when it comes to teamfighting and the later part of the game when playing against competent people. His laning phase is really godly when played right and he can easily win lane against most champions except Diana/vlad and a few more that can tank his poke easily while poking him right back.

Usually a QSS and a zhonyas really hurt the team fighting potential he has; also lulus polymorph is crazyyyy

My opinion is mainly that he's not even close to as good as everyone says he is, his laning phase is a bit overboard against certain champions but that's mainly about it.

Zed is one of those feast or famine characters that it's hard to do poorly with. Zed is gated by the skill of the person playing him. If you're bad, you're a bad Zed. If you're good, there are better options to play then Zed. If you're great? Zed is then borderline OP. I'd personally like to see his bonus damage from W removed. I hate how he can just build pen and gib anyone and everyone.

But for the most part, he's alright.

Because being in diamond 5 means you know everything. Nice logic

No, becsuse I've been playing since before season 1 and I have a 189 page AMA about League questions as well as both well received guides and video guides means I know everything.

Does someone have to be Master tier to be taken seriously around here?

Do some research before you go throwing out shit like "you can't know anything you're only diamond 5". (Dat top 1% tho?) Nice logic.

This is exactly why I don't take anyone that's silver or below seriously, they always claim to know everything about balance.

I was once a silver and I thought a lot of things were op and I made stupid balance threads too.

Game knowledge is a big part of climbing

I'm going to quietly sit here and wait until he asks me for my.opinion on a champion. When I was gold I had.a ton of game knowledge, I just couldn't apply a ton of it properly.

Then I figured out how, and boom.

If I spent more time aying rather than making videos and stuff, I could get into d3+ pretty easily.

I got from gold to diamond playing on an i3 laptop with specs like yours except the I sat at 150 ping and.occasionally jump to 400+ for seconds to a minute depending.

Still have that ping problem.

The biggest problem is mainly just resolution, raising it will drop me to 10 fps which is practically unplayable, did you play full screen?

if not then thats pretty impressive and I tip my fedora

Opinion on the change in Riot's initial (a couple years ago, I believe) stance against snowballing and now they've completely backtracked so that if you take 1-2 inhibs, you're basically not going to have much of a challenge against an enemy team that has to deal with super minions, while trying to stop free drag/baron buffs, and then having to deal with buffed super minions with turrets that now do less damage.

It's really hard to talk about this becsuse the winning team does deserve to win, but the losing team deserves a chance. You can't give either team too much free power and Riot is having issues figuring out how to balace around both issues.

If they modify something for the winning team, theyre not reward d for doing their job. If anything, I'd say the best approach would be to reduce early-game super minion health and damage and only send one wave of 2 super minions up a lane (mid) while the side lanes get one super each when all the inhibs are down. They could also probably find new ways to implement home field advantage, too. It's just such an incredibly complex subject.

Excuse any spelling errors, I'm on my phone.
