Adorable.

http://www.mangahere.co/manga/karakai_jouzu_no_takagi_san/ though this manga might be more so.

Gotta get my EUW account up.

It feels so nice. Playing with 36 ping instead of 186 ping.

About this here manga.

Track 11 is still my favorite.

Maybe she thought it would go around the other side of the map and was trying to make some LCS level plays yo.

Hit the point where I'm finally gaining about the same amount of lp as I lose. So should just take a little bit more of the consistent wins to get back to what I was before the who placement matches crap began.

If all goes well, I should be able to hit Silver I probably by the end of next week. Especially because I'll have the week off.

Shit just got real.

I dunno. I had to relearn to play with a constant fifth of a second delay.

It's not outright horrible. But it makes it hard to make good trades. It makes it harder to correctly judge distances.

The biggest differences is often those clutch play situations. When I normally would be able to get a good ability or flash off to make them, it often makes it just a little too late more often.

So I've had to compensate by being overly team oriented and focusing my decisions more in that direction than an outright "I must carry this team."

All I know, is when I get my EUW account up, I should become a real monster with my 30 ping on it.

Damn, just how much did Riot reset MMR by?

I'm a full 200 points lower than what I was before according to op.

And that was after going 8-2 in placement matches.

No wonder the matching is kind of funky right now.

Riot finally decided to stop pairing me with bronze I's and suddenly I can perform better with a better team.

It's like magic.

I'll probably stay away from Vlad right now. He just doesn't work very well at my current tier I guess.

Diana on the other hand, seems to perform pretty well against some of the more common picks. Two games so far on her and I got a decent handle on her, just need a little bit more practice.

Kassadin is strong as always. Just gotta ban away zed.

No, streaks are definitely going to happen.

You have a 50/50 chance to be on the team that is the lesser skill.

But you're never going to have the higher skill team, then the lower skill team and then the higher skill team in a nice consistent pattern.

It would be impossible for that to happen to consistently.

Hence, you are going to go at least 2 or more games with either the higher skill or the lower skill team in a row.

Now let's factor the troll and afks. Now they don't happen every game. If they do, I just feel for you. If they do occur, you do have a slightly less chance that it's your team. But it's more of a 40%/60%. But that only becomes a non-issue once you hit a large amount of games again, because statistics rely on large numbers again.

And then the other thing that leads to you more likely to go on a streak is that players are prone to tilting one way or another. So if you lose, you're more prone to make bad decisions. If you win, you're more prone to making good decisions.

So yes, streak will exists. It's near impossible for them not to exist.

And I HAVE been climbing. I decayed down into Bronze V from Silver I.

Which I was playing at a gold level overall before with some champions at a near diamond level. I lost a bit of this level due to rustiness from not being able to play. The other portion lies in going from 40 ping to 186 ping.

But I have been climbing. Now because I consistently climb over time, that indicates that I belong in a higher tier than I currently am.

But I had it very common that I would hit promos. And then end up on the team with less MMR for the games. Would have games where I would go something like 12/5/10 on my champion but I would have something like a jungle Xin that would build two boots of mobility.

Repeat this for 6 promos and then you get through. And it happens at almost every promo. Every time you lose promo, you'd end back up on the team with higher MMR and you go on a winning streak back up to promo. And then you'd be pair with the lower MMR again.

Most people on smurfs tend to duo. Just so they have two people on their team that has the skill and power needed to push good decisions.

But most often for people who climb up solo. It can take hundreds of games to make it through the ranks. I rarely see new people climb even into gold or plat without hundreds or even a couple of thousand games under their belt first.

So you idea that people get their without problems is wrong as well.

Don't be stupid. Elo Hell doesn't exist only statistically.

And statistics take a large amount of data to be relevant.

Elo Hell is what is known at the outliers. And because of the way the system is built, it makes the outliers incredibly painful.

Elo Hell would never exist only f you would win then lose. Or win two and lose one and so on.

But streaks are much more common, both winning and losing.

And with promo series and the possibility of being kicked back, it makes the streaks hit harder.

Let's say if you go on a winning streak and hit your promo series. Well ok. But then you go on a losing streak in return and drop 4 games. Well, you go on a winning streak, but it takes 2 games to get there, and you just won 1. Welp, time to go on a losing streak again.

The more streakish nature is what causes the Elo Hell situation.

And why what could take you 20 games, takes you 200.

It technically exists. But you can eventually play enough games to make it statistically irrelevant. But I don't feel like it's worth it to have to play 200 games to advance what would take you 20 games without it existing.

I was Silver III before the end of season 4.

I went 8-2. Get placed in Silver III.

Get matched with Bronze I teammates in every game.

Fuck you Riot.

If you win and perform really well it can happen.

4-2 now.

I'm just going to dodge anytime I see a Yasuo mid on my team now.


edit: Yep. Had Azir mid this time and we won.

Definitely a curse with Yasuo mid.

So 5-2 now.

edit: Yasuo on enemy team.

6-2

Tanky Sona is great. You don't lose any of her lane presence and poke but you gain extra utility in team fights because you're able to fight on the front lines.

And the enemy team often tries to engage onto her because they feel she's an easy pick and ends up dropping themselves because they blow everything for a pick, don't burst her down and set themselves up for a perfect sona ult.

Went 8-2.

Got placed in Silver III.

Which is the division I was in when season 4 ended.

3/0

I have become convinced now that Yi is a solid pick against a Gnar top.

Shove shove the lane at early levels. Go back and buy long swords to help keep the clear up.

By level 6, you should have gotten enough to buy your brutalizer.

Make sure that it's Mini Gnar with low rage and no possibility to turn to Mega Gnar.

Ult while near him, attack him until he tries to jump away. Instantly Q onto him.

You either burn his flash or you kill him.

If he burns his flash, you just kill him when you ult is up again.


edit: 4/0 now. Apparently even when I feed a Draven in bot on Sona I still can make plays and win.

I've won my last 6 ranked games. With 2/0 in the new season.

I'm sure I'm about to hit my bad games soon.

Playing with 186 ping is hard.

He was never interested in a romantic relationship from the get go.

Welp, I have enough SR that leveling them up will take some time.

I think I can start reinvesting in the weapons lottery with the golds I get from login bonuses.

edit: Welp, she's level 47 now. I'm pretty confident that level 50 is her max level.

Which means....that I have to raise the other one up from level 1 to level 50.


And then raise it again to level 50 after I evolve her.

And then do the process over.

And then level up to level 50.

HOLY CRAP THAT IS A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT FOR ONE CARD!
