It's because Veigar only counts as half of a champion. You played one half in Season 6, and now it's recommending that you play the other half, which is Veigar again.

It's simple logic.

Weird. I was told Azir mid.

Idk why.

A Superb Villain29 votes

Obviously it's because you spend most of your time trying to direct your teammates. Sand soldiers are more or less the same thing, and just as reliable.

Ralanr14 votes

...you're almost right.

Ok now I want to play Azir.

I don't know, they're pretty buggy sometimes.

You're saying your solo queue team-mates aren't a little buggy sometimes? "No Vayne don't dive that Nasus c'mon" Dives Nasus and dies

A Superb Villain1 votes

I'm saying the soldier AI can be shit, just like solo queue teammates, which is worse, because players don't have an excuse.

The sand soldiers can't kill themselves after all.

Same... Like WTF Riot? Don't you know that Rengars instinctively hate and fear the Birdman? But also lust after his tasty flesh

I was told Aurelion Sol, Renekton, Nautilus, Draven, and Hecarim.

All champions I hate playing against.

Well, for me this shit was strangely inaccurate. It gave me Karthus Mid, Heca Jungle, Alistart Support, and NONE of them i played ranked, and even in normals it was no more than 5 games this season. Weird.

Huh? Isn't it supposed to be a feature telling you what you'd probably be good with? 4 of my 5 recommended champs were champs I don't own. The 5th one? It was Kayle middle. I only play her Jungle or Support. I guess maybe that's why they put her in there. Seems like a waste though. I'd be curious to see if the middle champion would be Orianna or some other champion that I don't own yet.

It was somewhat accurate for me. Olaf top (although I play him jungle), Trundle jungle (I play him top) and Taric support (I do enjoy playing him). But I also got Vlad Mid and Graves ADC. I didn't like pre-rework Vlad that much and I have like 5 games in total as him, and Graves isn't even played ADC anymore.

I don't think it's trying to show champions that you do play, it is trying to show you champions that you might like. I never played four of my recommended champions and I recently got the fifth but have no games on her. I can understand why it is directing me towards those champions though.

Leetri1 votes

Well yeah, that's what I was saying. It recommended Olaf, Trundle and Taric to me. I enjoy playing all of them, but I haven't played them a lot compared to my favourites. But Vlad I don't like playing and the new Graves isn't really my thing either.

They're not doing it based on similarity, they're doing it based on info about who plays what. People who play a lot of Riven also tend to play a lot of Kennen. You play Riven but not Kennen, so it recommended you try out Kennen.

They had a post somewhere were they shared some of this data, but I can't seem to find it.

I just expected it to list more mechanical champions. Kennen being nothing like that makes little sense to me. I also don't remember seeing Kennen being tied to Riven in that but then again I didn't pay much attention to him in that site.

Doesn't use mana, lane bully / good at 1v1, but can also wombo if enemies group tight.

I got told to play Kayle mid......i've only ever played her top and jungle so perhaps it's time to expand?

A Superb Villain1 votes

Kayle can literally be played in any lane with reasonable success.

Granted, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Perhaps they've come to realize what I've already known: more Lulu anywhere is never a bad thing.

I got recommended Fiora top

You know what? I'm tempted to do so now because I need a low elo stomper to get out of the Silver hell I've found myself in after 0/10 placements
