Common Sense (Warning: Discussion includes salt and logic)

Van Leeve·Feb 2, 2016·2 votes·431 views

Hey Riot, let's create a guide explaining common sense in the game. I think that'll help a lot of people, especially the people with common sense because then they won't have to be salty in game when kids with no common sense cost them a game! The guide can include common sense in match ups, laning phase, team fighting, item builds, picks/bans, there's so much we can cover with the creation of this guide. Let's make League of Legends a better game for everyone!

And remember kids, THE GAME ISN'T HARD

I'd really like to hear the story behind this XD (I'm visualising you like muttering curses under your breath while you typed this..I don't mean to ridicule you, it's just how I imagine you right now XP).

But yea sometimes common sense is hard to find with people...but everybody makes mistakes...I was jungler once and my team was dead. I then saw that the enemy was doing baron and sneaked around the pit to the back....but then I realised I had no wards so no vision...and then the enemy got baron and hooked me... :/ very stupid and I could definitely have through this through more....Doesn't mean I lack common sense though...

I mean to be completely honest I was a little upset while writing this lol. I'm just saying I feel like someone or Riot should create a guide that goes in-depth to being successful in a match and performing well. Like when you get into a match you should be looking at your team and theirs. What summoner spells are they running, what items are they building, oh their jungler is top? Let's take dragon. My enemy mid laner roamed top and failed at killing my teammate? I should push mid and take that tower. Just little and simple things explained to improve everyones game. And no that doesn't mean you lack common sense, it was just a mistake

Sounds reasonable :) such general tips would indeed be useful. I only started playing league last season and im still learning stuff, even though I was silver 3 (I know its not challenger but I thought I did pretty good for my first ten games in the last season). Things like pushing mid when the midlaner is dead indeed sound logical on paper, but I'm only now learning to see and realise such things.

So yea...i'd really like a document like that :D

Give some examples of what would/should be in this guide.

Like I told Candurill, looking at the other team comp, looking closely at yours, what summoner spells are they running, what items are they building. Do we scale better? If so, we should play early game safe, if they scale better, let's work together to crush early game and deny them. The enemy mid laner just roamed bot, he/she could have picked up a kill or failed, either way, I'm going to push mid and take the tower. The enemey jungler is top? Let's take dragon. Also, another point that I fine extremely important for everyone. If you have information on where the enemy jungler is, if possible, try to take advantage of that. If I'm jungling and I know the jungler is trying to gank bot I might try to counter gank, if he/she fails I might just go top or mid, or maybe even counter jungle a little If I know my laners are doing fine. All these little things to be aware of. If more people learn about these things, they can elevate their game and teach others.

Fair point. But i don't think riot will spend time on that.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect them too. It's just a dream.
