When I started playing league, I didn't buy any components cuz I didn't know the cost of them was subtracted from the main item. So my first buy would be at like 15 minutes. Now I'm master. Oh how I've grown.

EssychuJun 7, 201718 votes

thats exactly what i used to do.

my friend told me im an idiot for that and taught me how to buy components.

i used to think when zed was released that he was a support champion and built that item that gave mana to people near me so i can support them.

i used to build that item on every single champ because i liked helping the players on my team get fed and shit.

now im a top main and ive isolated myself from other teammates.

^haha I also did this. I also thought there wasn't an attack speed cap so 6 Phantom dancer Kennen was born.

I also thought Cait's abilities scaled with ap.

underscores222Jun 8, 20173 votes

To be fair, two of her abilities do (or did) scale with AP - traps and net.

When I started playing League I ended Season One with my MMR so low, (600) it wouldn't show on my profile, hit D1 in S3 (Before Master or Challenger were around), oh how we grow ;_;

UnboundHadesJun 8, 20173 votes

how does one get 600 mmr

rtbf225618241Jun 8, 20173 votes

It was the ladder system before the League system we got now. (Bronze I - II - III - IV - V - Silver V etc.) You used to just have an MMR rating (MatchMaking Rating) one a single huge ladder with all the players on it. Nowadays you have elo rating instead which is hidden and matches you with similar players...at least on the paper.

UnboundHadesJun 8, 20173 votes

i know that but how does one get such a low mmr

SteelflameJun 8, 20172 votes

1200+ was bronze (Bronze got shifted down to accompany everything later on) and was the start of the ratings. If you were a new player jumping into ranked right after level 30, your gameplay would be absolute shit. ESPECIALLY back then before people figured shit out.

Effectively, the old 0-1200 ratings is our current Bronze rating.

My friend builds BotRK and no boots on Nasus and carries in Bronze 5, thinks he's really good =P

This Is Your DadJun 7, 20171 votes

When I first started I became thematically obsessed with Nasus. Because of his passive I just stacked bloodthirsters on him and actually was unstoppable. Then there was old sion. I just stacked lifesteal on him and used his ult. And old poppy, rip. Back in bronze 5 I was a god among cattle. Now I'm not bronze 5 anymore and I realize how bad I really am at the game.

Jo0oJun 7, 20172 votes

If you didn't run ignite/heal on your zero-movespeed Nasus then you're still winning out in this comparison =P

bronze 5 literally has no limits to its depth.

you can lose every single game you ever play and you wont drop any lower, since its physically impossible. considering this fact, you can encounter absolutely anything down there. the worst players possible to exist. he is just slightly better than the brain amputated chimps hes playing against.

its not much to be proud of. XD

maybe you should tell him, that hes probably carrying against someones grandma playing on her 10 year old grandsons account because he wants to show her this cool game he just started playing.

When I first started playing L eague I thought it was an RPG and saved my gold to try and buy a super expensive item... Little did I realize that when the game ended all my gold was gone... LUL

SwiftKitten88Jun 7, 20174 votes

yeah well i started playing before they had online match history so unfortunately i can't see what i did.

but i do remeber going to mobafire (cringe) and building "support" Blitzcrank as item 3025 item 3040 and some other things i have proablyl mentally blocked out. but at least all of that was pre-lvl 30....

I'm glad I joined League with someone to teach me who has been playing since season two... This month is my one year and I'm fairly sure my match history never looked that ridiculous.

Automated RivenJun 8, 20173 votes

I think when I started playing it took me the tutorial and like 9 games before I figured out how to buy stuff. I started in season 1. And then my first main, Janna, had ad on her shield so I assumed your supposed to build her ad. Never mind all those ap ratios. That 45 ad at rank 5 was all that mattered.

SexyBabyJesusZJun 8, 20173 votes

thats what I used to do with nasus and garen, i would just buy multiple warmongs cause i thought a shit load of hp was good and my master/diamond friends never told me what I was doing wrong with my builds lmao

Chazual FridaysJun 8, 20173 votes

I just wanna say, when I started playing back in Season 2, Warmogs on Heimerdinger was the bee's knees. (Side note: Is it "bee's knees" or "bees' knees"? I'm slightly self-conscious about my ignorance in this area of apostrophe placement.)

SauceyapplesJun 8, 20173 votes

"The" bee's knees. As in one bee. Bees' would be the plural form. "Several bees' knees."

Chazual FridaysJun 8, 20175 votes

Well, in theory, if several bees went to market, I could say, "The bees went to market." "The" does not discriminate between singular and plural, though I might concede it leans singular when ambiguous.

ShadowParkerJun 8, 20172 votes

Wait so which one is it actually?

Chazual FridaysJun 8, 20172 votes

Sadly, I've not gotten a definitive or satisfying answer. Supposedly the singular "bee's knee" was a thing, and it ended up converting to the plural form of "knee" later, which only makes things worse, because are we then referring to both of the singular bee's knees now, or are we exaggerating it to many bees' knees? The history of the expression seems mostly clouded in mystery.

When I started playing league, I didn't know what AD/AP scaling was.

So I played AD Cho'Gath for the longest time till my roommate who convinced me to start (June 1st 2014) walked by and broke the news to me.

That's such a noob trap, you're supposed to TP to tower and then hide in brush waiting for the enemy/enemies(because people did duo top back in my day).

Need Gold 4 TentJun 8, 20174 votes

Nah, you get a TF (who had his current ult as a basic ability), buy a ward and warp to the bush in between the outer and inner turret and plant a ward there. This is followed by 4x teleports, which in turn is followed by a first blood double kill.

CatastropJun 8, 20173 votes

Holy crap, now that is a l33t beginner strat right there.

NiyumiJun 9, 20172 votes

I like all the silly stories about people being dumb, but I actually have the ability to read... so, while my builds may not have been great, I built according to what the champs did.

Although when I started I INSISTED that AD Ez was garbage, and would only ever build AP on him, even if I was bot lane. I still won games, but I later learned that AD Ez is fine too. xD
