Do any older players want to play? (slight restrictions and massive walls of text inside!)
SKIP TO BOTTOM BULLETINS (restrictions) IF YOU WISH TO PASS THIS GIANT WALL OF TEXT! (and when you get there, be prepared for ANOTHER giant wall of text for your enjoyment!)
Hello. I started League during preseason between Season 3 and Season 4, and really ended up loving it! I started it with a friend, but he has since quit due to not enjoying the toxicity of the community (who can blame him?).
I convinced another friend of mine to play with me and made a new account so I could level up with him to 30 again. He has also since quit (he played for a few months but never really clicked with League I guess.) I have one other friend who plays with me, but EXTREMELY infrequently. We're talking maybe 2-3 games every 2-3 weeks or so because of how busy he is.
I only like to play League with others, I'm sorry but Solo Q is just not fun to me in the slightest, mostly because I'm really afraid of messing up and having people yell at me. I have also yet to even touch ranked even though I've played for about one year. I am planning to play ranked someday, but not now.
On my old account I had about 130-140 wins. So doubling that to include losses I had about 260-280 games. On my new account I have 80-something wins. So around 160 games. All together around 420ish PvP games played (lmao.) I've also dabbled in around 20 extra PvP games on the PBE server.
The only reason I include this is because people would probably be wary of my 80ish wins on my new account and not wish to play with me. So I just wanted to say that I at least have some experience with the game and know what I'm doing.
That said, I'm not very good at the game. The friend I play with extremely infrequently is in plat 5, but when I first started playing with him he was in silver (!!!) so he's really climbed since then. He claims me to be around high silver level of skill/knowledge...but I don't really think skill should matter if you're having fun playing the game with someone, right? I guess this matters to some people though, so they know where to set their expectations.
Anyway, back when I made the second account many months ago I bought an EXP boost to help me get back to level 30 quickly (after my second friend quit on me) so that's taken care of too.
I'd just really like someone pleasant (as in, non aggressive or toxic, just likes to have fun!) to play with again. This game is a lot of fun with friends.
Restrictions (sorry if this seems arrogant...):
-
Be around my level of skill, meaning I'd prefer if you were somewhere between bronze and gold. It just makes it easier, I think.
-
Be above 18 (preferably above 21) years old. As the title pointed out, older players only! I know this one seems kinda jerkish...I mean, who cares how old someone is if they're nice? Sorry, but I'm 22 going on 23 in a month. And to me it just feels kind of strange to play with high-schoolers or middle-schoolers. It's nothing against you, trust me. I'm the weird one who doesn't feel comfortable doing it.
-
Be okay with skyping/voice chat of some kind. I just like doing it, it helps us coordinate strategies or to warn eachother of stuff. Or just to talk and have fun, the most important part.
-
Don't be toxic or rude. We can goof off and troll in good fun or play some un-meta crap sometimes for the lulz, I'm not a hard arse. But going off on your teammates in chat about what they did wrong or how you want them to change or some other nonsense isn't cool, and it just derails the game. I'd like it if we could all keep it civil in the in-game chat. I don't ever talk in in-game chat unless to respond to something like, "Hey ____, come to drag." "Ok!". So usually I just ping. Hope that's alright!

I'm still somewhat learning the game. What? How? You said you've played at least 400+ games, haven't you? That may be true, but since I've started I've learned an immense amount of information about the game, yet still have not perfected everything. I don't last hit every minion in every wave perfectly, and I'm bound to miss skillshots now and again too. I've been playing for a year, but remember my skill level is still stuck around silver. So go easy on me with your expectations. Thank you!

I main ADC. Whenever a game or MMO lets me pick a class, I always choose the ranged DPS class. So when I started League, ADC seemed like the logical choice for me and I ended up loving it so...that's cool! So if any support main around my level wants to add me, even better! We can improve our game as a duo.

Figuring we'd all be adults here, can we stay positive? One thing I hated about playing with my first friend who played League is that he was almost consistently negative. "Wow our jungler really sucks..." or "Great, good thing our team knows how to focus on objectives..." or "This game is cancer, I really want to AFK..." he never AFK'd though, don't worry. And he never said this in in-game chat. But it was negative and brought my mood down, so...yeah. Remember it's a video game, made for fun and enjoyment. I try to even have fun while losing, or while being stuck in a hopeless game with no victory in sight. Just have fun! I like winning too but if the game isn't going our way...no need to be surly about it, savvy?

I have no filter for my mouth. I can, and will talk about anything and everything with my friends. There are no taboo topics of discussion with me, and anything you say CANNOT and WILL NOT offend me, so don't feel like you have to worry about that. Say whatever you want, I'll enjoy hearing it.
-
I own every ADC (yes, even Urgot!) and am at least semi-proficient (AKA can get by) or knowledgeable with all of them. The ADCs I most often play are Jinx
and Quinn
, and therefore they are my best. (I was playing Jinx when I got my first and so far only penta! Though I've gotten a couple unofficial pentas before. :P) -
My available play times: pretty much always! No, that isn't a joke. I'm at university at the moment and when I'm not in class I have an insane amount of free time. I'd love to be playing League as often as I can, but as I've said...I abhor solo Q and all of my friends on League have abandoned me. So hit me up literally whenever!
-
We can play ranked if you want. But I'd like to stick to normals for now to improve. As I said, I'm open to ranked soon or someday. But I kinda just like to play the game and have fun in normals, you know? I also almost exclusively like to play Team Builder since it came out, so please be okay with the wait times!
My in game name is: Snugs
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this annoying, colossal wall of text, feel free to un-clench your tainted places now and go back to being relaxed. The bureaucracy and boring nonsense has passed, now we can play League together...! If you want, that is. No pressure. :)
