Trying new things is bad apparently

Catastrop·Jul 21, 2015·2 votes·764 views

I say this because today I was in TB and this guy came in as our Jungler. He specifically made it clear that he was new to the role but he'd try his best. He got kicked as soon as he said it. This has happened before, and frankly I find it stupid. If someone is new to a champion or role and they don't want you to get your hopes up, the least you can do is let the person stay and get the practice because I'm sure you were the same when you first tried something different from what you normally do. This is actually why I own Karthus but have only played him twice. Also it's not like I can just be silent and let them think I'm fairly competent because if I get owned in lane, then there's always one person that's going to be a jackass about it. And please don't tell me that's what Bots are for. Bots can only do so much.

Dude this community is cancer and needs to be eradicated. People in TB leave if they don't see 100% meta shit even thought they have no idea what the meta is because they're all sub-gold. Isn't it ironic lmfao.

a massive tsunami that can impact the whole earth could put some sense into us, i agree.

I can see both sides of it. I agree that that people should be more lenient towards this kind of thing, especially since everyone has done it. But its easy to see why people don't want to intentionally subject themselves to it. Especially for veterans who feel they have already done their share of carrying.

Realistically though its probably best for everyone. Those people who kick you are probably pretty likely to be hyper critical if they were forced to continue. Might as well wait for people who don't mind.

this actually happened with me once i said it was my first game as malzahar and they kicked me how do you expect me to do my first game if you dont allow me to?

Community is scum. they think they're so good but they're still silver 5 with 0 lp. or hell even lower.

First off. Him kicking a guy who's new to the role is just perfectly fine. The guy who made the lobby just wants to win with a jg that knows what he's doing. That's perfectly k. That guy doesn't wanna babysit him all game and just wants a normal game.

EleshakaiJul 21, 20151 votes

That's the point of teambuilder, people can cherrypcik who they want to play with. I wish people were a bit more lenient, but that's why TB exists.

Or you can do what I do and One-Trick-Pony Gnar Vayne and LeBlanc. Literally all I play. Forced to Mid? LeBlanc! LeBlanc banned? Gnar mid! Forced to jungle? Gnar jungle! Forced to support? Gnar or LeBlanc Support! Forced to ADC? Vayne! And of course just normal Toplane Gnar. It works no matter what!

TurquoiseYoshiJul 21, 20151 votes

Forced to ADC? Gnar. Gnar can actually work as an ADC, if you build him right. I also think bringing in a champ like Lux or Sona for an actual second midlaner or an actual support champ.

Roll in GrassJul 22, 20151 votes

Nope. In gold elo and higher Gnar won't work as an ADC. His range is only 415 which is shorter than every adc and once you go mega you'll get kited by the ADC and CCed by the support. It's not optimal in any way. Lux and Sona are also severely out of meta and I only play champions that are in the current meta so..

TurquoiseYoshiJul 22, 20151 votes

1: LeBlanc left the meta. 2: You're using LeBlanc support, so I honestly have no clue why Gnar ADC is the worst thing you could get. She is literally the worst character I can think of to be a support. What does she have to support her team? LB has damage and blinks. At least Gnar can be built tanky and kinda be a support that way, but how the help do you even start with a LB support build? 3: If you don't want Lux or Sona, try Thresh or Janna or Alistar or Annie or some actual support champion.

1: LeBlanc didn't leave the meta, she's still very strong and is played a lot in LCK/LPL. 2: I'm not using LeBlanc support I use Gnar if I support. Gnar Top/Jungle/Support, LeBlanc Mid, never ADC. 3: Gnar is a strong support. Played often in Korean Solo Q and it works efficiently for me. 4: I always get the role I want in ranked because I say "Anything except ADC".

TurquoiseYoshiJul 24, 20151 votes

What happens if an enemy picks Gnar or Gnar is banned?

Roll in GrassJul 25, 20151 votes

Then I pick LeBlanc. If they're both picked or banned (which usually never happens) I go Bard support.

TurquoiseYoshiJul 25, 20151 votes

LeBlanc has one move that has CC. Bard is honestly better XD

Blind pick is where you practice things you dont know.....

Not teambuilder

TurquoiseYoshiJul 22, 20151 votes

Except you don't always get what you want in Blind Pick. You play TB to get a specific champion and role.

RysophageJul 24, 20151 votes

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. TB is not ranked you dunce. ?If iw ant to learn how to play syndra, im going to team builder. im not going into some stupid blind Queue so i can get forced into a role i dont want to do. Blind pick is the biggest waste of time.

Radnar the boldJul 21, 20151 votes

People are trying to build a good team in teambuilder, so its not their fault if they want the best team. I usually only do blind pick with a champ I wanna try because I get to try it compeitivly.
