Don't have a main. I just play whatever's good for that game. I've been playing since 2011 so that's not really an obstacle.

One tricking shen It's a fun time as long as you can cope with the fact that you give up almost all agency you have at winning the game because you play shen. Enabling my retarded team can be a tough time

>>1122214 Shen is way more fun if you play for your 1v1 potential with bruiser-y items and use your ult + teleport to pressure lanes while still being available for fights. Being an ult bot tank kind of sucks against intelligent enemies.

>>1122098 I main Smolder but I only play him top lane.

>>1121903 I got hit with 8 behaviour warnings today. i have no clue why, it's probably old games. got a bunch of feedback reports too

LoL has the most toxic player base i've seen in online games, the game itself is constructed in a way that brings out such tendencies, it is captologic. And all the woke shit they're pushing doesn't help. Bad game.

>>1128032 It genuinely cannot be helped. It doesn't matter if Riot were the greatest video game company ever created with infinite money and no shareholders to appease: the fact of the matter is that LoL as a game requires you to sink a minimum of twenty minutes into a match with consequences where even as one of the best players in the world playing the most impactful roles, you can only ever win about 65% of games even if your opponents are droolers in comparison. And in those 35% of games where you lose despite being a better player, there's a large chance either your enemies will act like niggers, or your teammates will. The game just isn't fixable.

>>1121903 I used to love Kayn. Can't play anymore, I switched to Linux

>>1121903 Haven't played LoL in ages, because some Riot allows niggers to pay money to steal others' account names and someone stole mine by paying money for it. But back when I played, before they changed the rune pages and masteries with the new trash, I played a bit of ADC Janna because I always managed to get Muramana live at the 15 min mark (back when her tornado double-charged the jewel because it counted the zero-cost activation as another spellcast) and then it was time to skullfuck everyone with superior movespeed and damage and slows, especially because Janna has obscene mana pool. Tbh though I rarely played LoL because I hate being forced to main a small hero pool. I used to play DotA 2 where I would random in ranked AP mode, but DotA 2 fucked itself with the 6.82 shit (although 6.84 and 8.86 - minus the Iron Talon cancer - had some interesting items) and with 7.00 and later it just went full retard. SO NOW I'M AOS FREE NIGGERS! ENVY ME!

>>1130306 Much like Overwatch, the only thing it really has going on for it is the porn.

>>1141393 It's honestly an okay game if you can ignore the fact that the format itself has unfixable issues some people just cannot stand. The game will never be "balanced" because one group of players will always feel like they're weak (even when they aren't). Even if every single character had their ideal winrate (between 48 and 53% depending on difficulty and mainability) someone would always claim the game is broken because THEIR favored group of characters isn't the best. Despite Riot themselves being enormous Jews, though, the game is the fairest and most balanced in terms of a lack of annoying bullshit it has literally ever been. People are playing weird shit and getting away with it, and are now openly encouraged to innovate. Some guy made it to gookland's highest ranks playing Singed bot and Alistar top like we're back in season one and two. Darius somehow ended up the best jungler in the game for several patches in a row. People are proxying waves way more than they ever used to. It sort of feels like the Wild West again, like Dota Allstars used to be in the 2000s.

Dota is better.

I wish you faggots still had your containment site, the fact that I even have to see a fucking LoL thread on here is a warcrime. Not only do you play assfaggots, you play the worst one available.

>>1145278 >Not only do you play assfaggots, you play the worst one available. /thread subhumans scums, get addicted to a real competitive game/mahjong and not this bidimensional PvEvP esporterino party gaym, pretending to be deep by scrambling the balance every patch >inb4 ermmm i play TFT dood SAME THING, EVEN WORSE, LITERALLY CANDY CRUSH FOR CHINKS. I WISH YOU A HAPPY BRICKED PC AFTER THE CHINKROOT STEALS ALL YOUR DATA FOR THE CCP

>>1145187 >Dota is better. Not anymore, nigger. DotA 2 has been devolving into some low skill, low IQ LoL-copying cancer.

>>1121903 >so what you're currently maining? As an ADC main it's whatever keeps me the furthest the fuck away from the enemy cause my team refuses to stop chasing random shit and just fucking PEEL. To that end it's mostly just; >Malzahar-- cause my support picked a useless sissy parasite like Seraphine, Sona, Lux, etc. and I'm better off not interacting with the enemy bot lane at all as I perma melt waves with zero interaction and just ult people for the rest of my team to kill >Senna (ADC)-- mainly vs low mobility Juggernauts like Illaoi, Darius, Garen, Voli, etc. cause she gets movespeed on hit, deals with tanks pretty well and gets infinite scaling range and free AD + Crit to permit me tons of freedom in my build >Tristana-- vs super mobile shit while still being able to operate as a backline DPS rather than an Assassin cause she gets 700 range in late game and perma Q and E uptime with Navori We need another Yordle ADC that gets to scale like Senna but is actually INTENDED for the ADC role rather than being a bootleg ADC.

>>1145187 Hasn't been since the frog decided to preemptively cuck to Blizzard. Removing Skeleton King and replacing him with a generic carry with paragraph-long abilities over the years proves he doesn't know what he's doing. Every game needs retard-proof characters, and old SK was that for Dota.

>>1148361 Start playing Xerath instead of Malzahar when the enemy picks lots of ranged characters. He dumpsters keep away comps with lots of squishies (because boblow retards refuse to play tanks or fix their team's comp with their own picks) and is himself fairly safe with a stun.

Also, there's a /lolg/ up at >>>/vg/2170 if anyone wants to try and make that board a little more active. We'll just have to see where people end up and if anyone wanders in for now.

>>1148603 I like being able to infinitely melt minion waves with Malz E and not ever have to go back to base for more mana after the first back. Malz R also just shuts down any retard that tries to dive while giving the team a free target. Xerath still has to actually interact with the enemy more than Malzahar does. Malzahar is just a "no enemy champ interaction" pick. If I want to actually engage with the enemy as a mage I just pick Veigar but at this point I have no reason to do that.

Any ADChads here? What are your hopes and dreams for Yunara? I hope she's more like Jinx or Xayah instead of another Smolder/Nilah.

>>1156051 She's a support, bro. They explicitly stated she is.

>>1156051 It's gonna be another zoomie zoomzoom champ like Samira, Zeri and Nilah I can already tell. It's gonna be unbalance-able dogshit just like them too.

>>1156189 What the fuck. I swear they said she was a support like a week ago.

>>1156448 It's because people were referring to the League of Leaks post. It's still possible she's a Senna-like hybrid that can fill both roles. https://x.com/LeagueOfLeaks/status/1911836470647627806

>>1156448 That's true. I've been playing a bunch of Jinx and would really like another high attack speed and right click on people ADC instead of Nilah or Samira 2.0. What would your ideal new ADC be like? >>1156448 I'm pretty sure the next sup is going to be a darkin.
