5 things you shouldn't do before/during you're League match

AmoebaHewdraw·12/11/2014, 11:32:40 PM·8 votes·2,565 views

For your safety and the safety of others, don't do these things before/during your next league game.

  1. Use the bathroom during a game. We all have to go to the bathroom. You probably should go to the bathroom before you queue up. Unless you have a laptop, then you could just take it with you.
  2. Order Pizza/Wings/etc. There's a chance the delivery guy will get there during the match. If you do, I'd put the amount of money you need next to you and play closer to the door if you can.
  3. Eat dinner. Let's say you got the Pizza/Wings/etc. or made some dinner. You probably should eat that first, it's kinda hard to play League with one hand.
  4. Break a bone/get sick/any other emergency. This only applies for before, because we all know things happen. When things do happen, it's probably best to take a break from League. If an emergency would arise during a game, just tell your team, they'll understand. You can play if you're sick, but if it's really bad, you may want to steer clear from it. You probably don't want to vomit on your keyboard/monitor.
  5. Buy a new champion. You can do this if you're going to play this champion in bots or if you've played this champ when they were free. You're probably going to play this champion after you buy them. Do you have any other advice for players before they queue up? Feel free to note them in the comments! item 2054 Edit: Finally found a better idea for number 4(?)

LOL ikr. Whenever someone uses one of these as an excuse, i report the crap out of them. More advice: Please check with your parents (if your like me, whose parents are very strict about games) before matches about time, so your parents don't drag you ass away from the computer in the middle of a match. item 2010

Locking inTeemo, For the sake of your team, just don't do it.

4 You're right, we don't agree. Because that is not related to things you do during/before league. So I will offer a replacement that I and many others do.

4 Don't play a game if you need it to end in 20-25 min because you have work soon.

I always try new champs in PVP matches... Never in ranked ofc. Most of the time I do fine cause all I really do is safely farm so that I don't feed the enemy champ. By the 10 minute mark I would've understood the basic mechanics of the champs.

I had a cunt on my team the other night who spent the entirety of a ranked game on the phone with his GF who was breaking up with him. All he did was afkf arm top. Then at the end he wanted us not to report him for afk because he was "technically there" even though all he did was farm top sit in fountain then farm top more. Even as they were pushing down inhibs

For the love of all that is holy, do not smoke after champ select. You will be afk for the first three minutes.

Lose a game. When you lose a game you get mad. When you get mad you yell at your teammates. When you yell at your teammates they perform worse. When your team performs worse you lose. When you lose and already are mad you get even more mad. Don't get even more mad.

Never EVER type in chat when you aren't dead and after minions spawn. Unless you are running across the whole map you have no time to chat about the weather in the middle of a heated battle.

Buy a new champion

I've done this three times, and I've regretted it every single time. But I eat all the time when I play league. I typically only "afk" for a minute or two at a time.

#1 Don't start a game unless you know that you will be able to finish it without interruptions This is probably a rule i haven't been following when i first started playing. I would never think twice about if i had enough time for a game or not. I would always end up logging off because of interruptions. So yeah. Before you start a game, think about if you have enough time to finish it or not. If you have plenty of time, go ahead. If you don't, then don't LOL.

And well, my other League ettiquettes are... co-operate with your team properly. Don't be a toxic player. Actively communicate with your team, even if it's just pings. But yeah :DD HEHE

Eat dinner. Let's say you got the Pizza/Wings/etc. or made some dinner. You probably should eat that first, it's kinda hard to play League with one hand.

It is possible, however difficult, to completely play LoL on your mouse if you have the right one. I currently have a Razer Naga w/ 17 buttons. So I can have items 1-7 as usual. QWER on 8-11, 12 for my smart pings, Unlock camera on one of the side buttons, and Attack Move on the other side button. Could put the shop on my mouse wheel scroll up and the scoreboard on mouse wheel down. Or just click the buttons in game too.

Now trying to execute good mechanics, keep up with everything on one hand for league, AND eat without making your face a canvas of food, that's the tricky part.

That doesn't solve the issue with trying to type to your teammates however...

There's a reason I posted this in the Memes and Games section, they're only half serious. You can do this stuff during a game, but it's harder than normal. Not everyone has a Razer Naga and stuff, so it's still kind of hard to play League with one hand. Family emergencies constitute leaving a game. Plus, as I said, number 4 was because I ran out of ideas, I actually just came up with one, so I'm going to change it.

dont be toxic

Don't play a game if you only have 50 minutes to do so. That will cause the game to automatically last +60 minutes and no one will care enough to surrender.
