[Sandover]

Actually I was thinking of starting over again. My only half decent login is on the NA server which I got no reason to stick with, the ping is annoyingly high.

I'll happily play with anyone who wants to join me for a game or two so by all means, join the Nordic & East if you're up for it. My nick there is "Le Sand" as Sandover once again was taking (probably by myself this time as I recall playing a little on the European server before heading over to NA). I'm currently level 10 as I managed to get a decent amount of games going during the extended weekend I just had but recon I'll be leveling a lot slower from here on.

Sullla, what happened to the final game last night? The stream suddenly dropped and never came back...

I think Own3d pulled the plug due to my awful play.

[Sullla]

Yeah not much to say about that, apparently the stream died during the game and so I couldn't get a recording. Jaje played a very strong Corki and dominated the match.

[Cull]

Not to beat a dead horse or anything:

Me and Developed duo'd ranked. Over 3 days, we went from 1150ish and under 1300 rating to almost 1300 and gold. We played 10-15 games, ran almost all combos outside of having both solos, and only lost 1 (really close, really good IMO) game.

I like the system nao.

I like the system nao.

Not only do I play ranked mroe often than him, I know more about the game than him and I'm overall a better player in general yet I'm 1290 elo while he's played 16 games or ranked and he's gold. That's so sad and I really hope riot changes this because right now ranked is abosolute luck until 2000+ elo. Not saying Sullla is a bad player just saying he really shouldn't be in gold.

I guess somebody doesn't xD

Everyone's a faultless player when they watch games played, every time you play a support you think to yourself "I wish this AD carry wasn't missing so many last hits" when in truth you'd probably miss some of them too.

I mean if you look at how people have played in some of our RB/youtube games, you could conclude that Plasma is a heck of a lot better than a 1470 player (I think that was his ELO when I last looked) and Speaker should be around the 1600 mark perhaps.

Anyhoo dodged one solo queue game when our team comp was truly awful and teammates just picked what they wanted to play, queued for another when I got invited to a RB game so dodged that too, minus 20 ELO for me!

[Sullla]

I get a lot of silly YouTube comments for my videos. Pay them no mind. The claim that Elo rating is pure luck becomes hard to substantiate when so many of our strong players from the Tuesday games - Varis, Jaje, Seyruun, Developed, Cull, etc. - are all having a great deal of success at the moment. If the system were pure luck, then roughly half of us should be spiraling down to around 1000, which clearly is not happening. The only person in our group who saw that happen was sunrise, and I think he would agree that he made some mistakes in starting out ranked play.

My understanding is that Plasma Puffball has been rated as high as 1700 in the past, and is only at his current Elo because he was screwing around and trying to win games with every champ.
