Mother of god, I don't think I've ever seen someone play that many ranked games in a single season. In some ways your number of games is a greater accomplishment than getting gold. You are truly an immortal for how could you kill something that has no life?

But seriously though, congrats. I also just made Gold, though I think I would have gone crazy if I had to play that many games though.

P.S. You'll climb a lot faster if you limit your champion pool.

i feel really bad, ive played no more then 300 ranked games this season and im gold 2, and i started from silver 2 or 3.

P.S i have like 1-3 champs per role, and thats all i play in ranked. (playing shaco in ranked causes tilt for both teams, while you go around taking towers, killing squishies and letting people chase you around the map)

Am I the only person that plays League that doesn't mind shitmo lol? I hate him more when he's on my team.

Tyto Mors1 votes

yes. you are one of the few. but it probably just the type of champs that you play against him as, so teemos is free kills for you.

Niyumi4 votes

Yes to all of the above. :3

lol look at all the hate i get for making a joke. people really take this shit way to serious.

No Yellow Norco1 votes

You probably got all that "hate" because it wasn't even a good joke. Had it have been a funny joke, you would not have gotten all that "hate". But I do find it slightly funny that you're talking about people taking things too serious when you think that votes are serious enough to make a comment about.

he probably can, who knows, he might already be a streamer, considering he put that much time into the game. even people in school cant do that(or on holidays).

Niyumi7 votes

Psh, I'm too boring to ever be a streamer, and I tilt too hard. >.>

Tyto Mors6 votes

so you'd be tyler1?

Niyumi5 votes

I don't watch people play games, so I don't know who that is, or what he does. : /

Tyto Mors1 votes

i generally dont either, but hes pretty much a joke. hes a league streamer that plays only drav and flames if he doesnt get it(this was also before dynamic queue). flames and tilts like the seven god of hell. as several ban accounts, and any account that riot finds how that he owns is permabanned.

Niyumi2 votes

Oh wow, yeah, I'm not that bad. xD I just get upset if some bullshit champ like Akali or an ADC just clicks on me and deletes for me no other reason than they clicked on me, and start yelling at my screen. xD Every now and then I start ranting in all chat about Riot being greedy and rewarding incompetence and all that. :P But it's very rare I tilt that hard.

I'd still make a terrible streamer though. I'm really quiet, and have twitches and tics from my anxiety so I'd weird people out. :P

LA Losty1 votes

Well as you said yourself you arent quite as bad as Tyler1 then ;( He had 18 accounts permabanned i believe, maybe he reached 20, and Riot decided to ban every single account that he creates from now on due to his previous behavior.

I don't play Shaco that often. But maybe I should, if it tilts people like that. :3 My usual junglers are Poppy, Lee and Rumble.

Haha, they were freaking out about their Kha'zix. I donno why, he did fine imo. Just that Shenpai was crazy good and carried, and we had some really cool Shaco Q + Shen ult plays. xD

You played 4k games to get to gold? Now I have faith I can get to plat. If you can stick it out, so can I. Way to inspire champ.

Niyumi1 votes

Haha, I wanted to give up more than a handful of times. xD Wasn't easy losing so many times, climbing up to S1, then losing all the way back down, over and over and over.

Lol welcome back to bronze 5.

Niyumi1 votes

Yeah, that's a bit accurate. My teams in silver were better than my teams in gold. xD

NotCounter1 votes

i didn't experience that because i placed in gold and don't play ranked but it probably feels pretty good to finally reach your goal. congrats

4000 games in 2 years.... at 40 minutes average per game (I'm including the time it takes to queue up in this probably actually more time than this).

4000 x 40 = 160,000 minutes 160,000 minutes = 2,666.67 hours = 111 days 111 / (365 x 2) = 15.21% of your time in the past two years has been spent on League. When you consider 33% is spent on sleep that's almost half of your time gone right there. Scary.

Niyumi1 votes

Two years? I started last June (the end of it), right around Elko release. So a little over a year. :P

Congrats man.

Swiftstrike41 votes

I figure you would eventually get there from just playing enough, so congrats.

You did complain a lot about teammates though on these boards, and that attitude will not help you climb through Gold.

Some things to keep in mind:

  • A lot of Gold V players are about as good as most Silver I or II players, they are sometimes worse
  • Players begin to improve in Gold III and higher and it is noticeable
  • A lot of Gold V players don't adapt quick enough and get "bounced out" or they stop playing
  • Narrowing your position and champion pool is pretty important in climbing
  • Toxicity is significantly lower in Gold in comparison to Silver - though it might be comparable in low Gold
  • People don't feed as often
  • People don't chase kills as often
  • People usually have a much better sense of objectives - a pretty common play after losing an inhibitor is for the team that lost the inhibitor to do baron

Anyways good luck.
