And what would be more enjoyable, playing with 4 people and training with a champion in a heightened learning environment, or playing with 10 and pissing off between 4 and 9 of them because you're not a good enough skill for them with that champ?

Because that's the conundrum I've been presented with.

Yeah, playing normals as a fresh man in this game can get realy tiresome sometimes, I remember when I lvled my first account up.. So much flaming I quit the game 3 times, first time I had like a year break because I couldnt handle it anymore. But in the end I managed to find someone to queue up a few games with, and it made it much easier, and less flaming aswell. I actually didnt learn about the mute button before I did ranked with a friend, and I got realy pissed of at this dude flaming all the time for no reason, and he was like: Dude, just mute him.. - wait what? mute? And the main problem of this game got solved, nothing is like muting the flamers right away.

You are never going to find out how lvl 1-2-3 all ins work top lane in a bot game. You're never going to find out how lvl 6 match ups go in a bot game. You're never to discover how to roam and tower dive in a bot game.

So, you just want bots that all-in you at 1/2/3/6? I get bots that dive me all the time...

I thought they were bringing Nutcracko skin back for this month?

That's because the bots are being stupid and tunnel-visioning you. And that's not what he's saying.

He's saying you're not going to learn how important hitting level 6 is in a bot game, and who will have the upper hand, because you can exploit the bots so hard that you'll hit level 6 way before they do.

Also, tower diving isn't just about running into their tower hoping for a kill. It's about how to value taking the risk and then how to proceed with it. People die all the time because they overestimate themselves and get kited around until they die. Smart people know when and how to get people under the tower, or how to tank tower shots while someone else goes for the kill.

Learning how to do things in PvP games (not just LoL, all of them) is far from fun a lot of the time, but in the end, when you successfully pull off awesome things, the feelings you get are completely worth it.

Exploiting bots is just... not even close.

I'm pretty sure it's not until the new Winter skins are released.

Did they remove one for all? I havent played that much lol in the past 2 months, but now that i wanted to play, i can't find the damn gamemode anywhere.

Apparently you don't quite know what I was talking about. No offense, but that just might be because of all those bot games. I strongly suggest you do some research on the topic, as it can really improve your gameplay.

They did. They listed a timeframe for it. It might/will return at some later point, with additional tweaks.

I was really excited until I saw it uses Javascript. Now I am sad.

[Duilliath]

No clue. I can't make things. I don't even know what things it can make. I just know I want people to finally be able to make a UI that isn't completely fucking atrocious.

JavaScript?
I can code JavaScript now...

>Smurf
>Vayne
Not sure if serious.

[Duilliath]

And this is barely relevant.

Someone who hits lvl 30 for the first time can hardly be compared to someone who wants another account in Diamond.

[Deleted]

Also my point doesn't really matter because it was a smurf, not a freshly dinged 30 who is new to the game.

It's good that you realise it yourself now.

[Firebert]

Apparently you don't quite know what I was talking about.

I do know about risk/reward, and that the bots put far too much risk in their gameplay. Clearly whoever hits 1/2/3/6 first gets a power spike with new abilities, but you usually can't see what happens when the bots outlevel you because that rarely happens.

Which leads us to where we started: it'd be nice if there was a Hard AI setting.

EDIT: How about the average level of the bots match the average level of your team?

[Deleted]

Why would you want Hard bots when you can just play vs people?
Or an even better question:
Why would you play a PvP game (the client is called PvP.net for gods sake) just to play versus Bots?

Not where I'm currently sitting: http://www.lolking.net/charts?region...&league=silver

[Acry]

it was 43% win rate like a week ago
zed was also at 43% a couple days ago with a 10-20% ban rate as well

[Deleted]

That's why I said I was being obtuse ._. Also the back story was just for the "lol vayne smurf" post. I agree it wasn't exactly relevant except maybe to showcase a good reason why they should stay out of ranked because I am most definitely not the only person smurfing.

I just meant that ADC is practically the worst role to carry from atm so smurfing that is useless.
