Why didn't you put Stonewall on here, he's pretty good. another guy is Kaptain Ballsack (the name, I know...), who happens to have a fairly good Draven guide, that might be something of interest

AntiSkillshot11/25/2015, 8:22:52 PM3 votes

One of these days, Stonewall will be featured. Happy Redmercy, ScrapComputer, Irelia Carries U, and Commando Yi were featured.

What the frick did you just fricking say about my gear, you little n00b? I’ll have you know I am a lvl 90 Undead Arcane Mage, and I’ve won so many PVP matches, and I have done raids on every 10 man heroic dungeon. I also have a frickton of macros and I have a GS of 10K. You are nothing to me but just a lvl 12 gnome hunter. I will pwn the frick out of you with Arcane Missiles the likes of which has never been seen before on Azeroth AND Outland, mark my freaking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over raid? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my guild of mages and shamans across The Eastern Kingdoms and your character is being targeted right now so you better prepare for the ownage, n00b. The Arcane Barrage that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your character. You’re fricking pwn’d, n00b. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my secondary talent tree. Not only am I extensively trained in Arcane magic, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Fire magic and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable neckbeard off the face of Azeroth, you little gayl0rd. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re getting debuffed, you goddamnn00b. I will poop Dragon’s Breath all over you and you will burn in it. You’re friking pwn’d, gay0rd.

I am extremely disappointed. There is no advice that is applicable for supports. Now I feel even more under-appreciated.

Just recently got demoted to b2, been in b1 for the last month or so. I know im not amazing. im probably not even decent. But honestly it doesnt even matter anymore. Ive had so many disconnects, trolls, and feeders that no matter how good i do im almost doomed to fail. I did a little math on the statistics of my last 30 matches its a 78% chance ive lost this match at teamselect because lastpick wanted adc. its almost an 65% chance that i will have someone dc in the first 10 minutes of my match, its honest-to-god an 80+% chance that i will have a dc in the first 25 minutes of my match. the very last match i just had our support fed 10 kills then afked, all the while not saying a single word. the entire time this was happening my mid was d/ced. Thankfully,l after our support left our mid came back and went an astonishing 3/11. And i cant even just shake it off anymore because i had a similar problem like this the 4 games prior to this, and if my math is correct its around an 80% percent chance my next game will be exactly like this one. So why even continue to bother with this game? Why is the LoL community so terrible and toxic? And i garauntee almost all the feedback from this post will be some remark about me being bronze and not admitting i should work on getting my skills better. Eh maybe im just cursed. Maybe riot just stopped giving a F--k about teamwork and community who knows.
