Had so much fun losing!

This game went over 60 minutes, it was a super heated back and forth, and honestly when they finally won it was due to team mates getting caught out, but I didn't even care. Super fun game. I would love to play against anyone on that enemy team again.

Special honor to Elite Four Jeff especially, very honorable player, and the enemy team MVP. They were pretty much beaten, but he carried them back into the game after Vi and Teemo got caught in several 2v1 or 3v1 plays. I wish I had a replay of this game, because it was just a stellar game.

I actually like those protracted, epic games. Also props on the positivity!

May I ask what a "Noc Technician" is? Also do you know what the favorite champion of the person in charge of the Riot Support twitter account is? And if they like poros?

he is a nocturne main

Network Operations Center, I believe.

RiotBark WahlbergDec 23, 20143 votes

Rock "The Rock" Rockburgh (favorite movie: The Rock, favorite wrestler: The Rock, favorite pet: a rock) got it right, "Network Operations Center."

We monitor for problems and escalate on them when we find them. /ducks

I imagine multiple people man that account, and I think everyone likes poros! (Right?)

OblongOtterDec 23, 20142 votes

Darn I wanted to draw them a horrible sketch since I'm a (terrible) artist once I find a pencil. Haven't drawn in a while though. Anyway, I wanted to tailor it to what they like, but it seems anything will do. What do you mean by escalate on the problems? Either way thanks for letting us back into the game the other day, assuming you helped.

RiotBark WahlbergDec 23, 20142 votes

Post it here, and I can send it over to the group.

We don't do the fixing, we just notify the right people so they can fix it (escalating). I actually was the one who first spotted the problem you are referring to, but I certainly didn't fix it myself!

I have a question. Could you check out some of the threads offering ideas about champion select. I especially liked one that called for a team vote deciding whether or not to dodge a game if there is a toxic player. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/07bZpEaN-should-be-an-option-to-abort-a-game-in-champ-select-with-at-least-4-votes-on-one-team

OblongOtterDec 24, 20142 votes

Nice job, dude! Also I was already going to post it on Twitter, they're expecting me maybe (once I find a good pencil.)

This wouldn't happen to be you, right?

RiotBark WahlbergDec 23, 20143 votes

Indeed it would not! We report the problems, so more often it's, "Hey, something isn't working correctly!"

I agree. Long back-and-forth games are so much more fun than 20 minute stomps for both teams. I think the sweet spot is around 40-50 minutes as long as it isn't too one-sided. I love it when a round looks over and then the farmed Nasus (or other lategame champ) on the losing team shows up and turns things around.

By the way, on a related topic, 20-25 second teamfights are a lot more fun than 4-6 second teamfights... Not sure if you have anything to do with game balance, so Just sayin'.

FinnicalDec 23, 20141 votes

Nah! Best teamfights are 3 minute teamfights where both teams go in one at a time. Stupidity on both sides. You just have to slap your head and laugh.

me to the ones that go over an hour seem like the most fun I love it when a game last long enough to get my "epic full build" lol

Ryu the firstDec 23, 20142 votes

Oh man, I was in a game as Janna support, and we were an hour in with my team mostly feeding, but i carried us by engaging and peeling so hard my teammates simply couldn't lose fights. It felt epic, and I got 9x honored. :D

linkmastr001Dec 22, 201410 votes

Dat Time Dat Farm Dat Gold Dem wards Dat 2.2k crit... Both teams had 4 dragons, while yours had the 5th stack twice!

I don't even...

/slow clap

That looks like a fun game. Looks like everyone bought several Elixers too. Wish I coulda been there. Props to you for being so positive about the loss!

Also, as someone who gets stuck support a lot, I want to give you props on those wards. 62? Holy crap. I get that the game went on a while, but you had more wards then their top 2 combined!

TeemoJenkinsDec 22, 20148 votes

Thanks for all the warm comments guys! I think the difference in wards is purely due to their team having a Teemo, he had our jungle shroomed to hades, so they didn't need vision on our side so less warding.

ChimeiTekinaNasuDec 23, 20142 votes

That Vi never warded...... Wow.

P.S. I like the True Damage part. I like how Blitzcrank was the only one that didn't do any sort of True Damage, not even 100 points like you did. lol. That 28K true damage dealt to minions by Volibear though.

FHMarshyDec 22, 20147 votes

I clicked into this thread expecting yet another sarcastic whine about a loss, which is what I expect by default for all the threads I've read on this forum. But props for you being positive. League needs more people like you :)

The most fun game I had last season was a loss. I queue'd up a TB game but all the slots were for bot support. I don't know if you realize this but the coolest/nicest/team-players are supports AND they are usually the best players in the game.

We all played AMAZING and it was a close game all through out. The enemy team were 100% trying as hard as they could to win to avoid the insult of being beaten by supports while we were laughing our asses off having fun and working together.

Fun game and we Barely lost.. Barely but it was so fun we were happy anyway and I got 2 new Awesome people for my FL. It's to bad riot likes trolls more than positive people. This game could be soooo much more fun sooo much more often. Instead I think riot likes to think of itself as Ramsey Bolton and it's players like Reek.

AspynnDec 22, 20145 votes

That sounds like a lot of fun! I used to play with a buddy and we would have 5 midlaners! Somebody like tf would bait and we'd get an early kill mid and then spread out and everybody ganked everyone's lanes and roamed together. Always fun, win or lose!

TheFrozenIslesDec 23, 20145 votes

I agree with this post. It does not matter if you win or lose. With that type of game it is just a blase to play.

What's truly sad about that fact: I changed my build three times in that game... didn't even realize I durp'd that lol.

JariDec 22, 20143 votes

Not to be that guy who points thing out but... Voli no trinket? Was that the whole game?

ChimeiTekinaNasuDec 23, 20142 votes

He sold his sweeper at 59 minutes if you look at the player builds section.

TeemoJenkinsDec 22, 20143 votes

He had a scanner, not sure if he sold it, or its a glitch.

ChimeiTekinaNasuDec 23, 20141 votes

The player builds will tell you. lol. He sold it at 59 minutes. That spam of Iron Elixer every minute though. lol

el immagrenteDec 22, 20142 votes

I love that feeling when a game is so balanced until finally one team manages to tip the scales in their favour and win.

MellophantDec 23, 20142 votes

honestly, as frustrating as really drawn out matches can be, they're my favorite, so long as both teams are neck and neck.

"oh you caught me out? no biggie, im getting you next time for sure" and then boom, outplayed. both teams struggling for dragon, first blood doesnt come in for about 10 minutes in, everyone getting kills and assists, clutch plays, no one is messing up too severely, etc etc. i dont mind the trash talk from either team sometimes, if its a game like that. usually its funny, and not blatantly outright mean.

and if we lose? its a sincere gg, and would love playing that over again. everyone gets honors, the post game is filled with jokes, and people offering tips. thats what i play league for.

glad you had fun losing, lol :P

how tf did volibear deal so much true damage?

JubbinautDec 23, 20141 votes

Ranger's Trailblazer, I'd guess. Since it causes Smite to deal extra damage to minions and monsters surrounding the target, I'd imagine that over the course of ~50 minutes (from 6:27 to 55:57) that would add up to a lot of extra True Damage.

JavaneDec 23, 20141 votes

I've had about 5 games like this since I started playing in 4-5 years. It's those highs that make this game great and keep me coming back. The game goes so well for both teams, but eventually, someone gets to make a play and its over. Those games that could have gone either way. Not mad at them at all, you just wish more games went like that and just weren't decided in the first 10 minutes...

JunkοDec 23, 20141 votes

I really like really long normal games because everybody just eventually stops playing seriously at 40 min and we have a ton of fun.

But few days ago i lost a 1 hour ranked win to server error and i was super pissed off..... i would have been in Silver 1 if i won too (yeah i suck)

aaronconlinDec 24, 20141 votes

I really love games like that, especially if it's a friendly environment so either team congratulates the winning team and aren't bitter about losing, don't complain about their team etc. It's rare but it's awesome
