@Qwerty - Alright I've been looking up stuff about how to bot Jinx early and while certain tactics will clearly improve my game with practice, I think the best thing is to have a solid support, which will be far easier for us with voice chat than it will be for all the type chat noobs we'll be going up against. Apparently Soraka is a great support for Jinx and I know you already have her so I think it would be good to test that out. This is a team game after all, so it would probably be good to practice as a team rather than do the separate lane thing.

bitch is trying to push the boring role on me just to carry his ass

So basically don't try team play cause you want to get a few kills. We've been doing that and having very mixed results. If you've got a combo with one of your champions then I'd be perfectly happy to try that, but this was what I came to. Let's just try it for a few games. And ADC is all about being carried early game. It's just part of the game.

so since we primarily play draft now i will be down to support you any time the role is landed by me. but i don't think it will make a difference in our W/L doing that vs playing separate lanes. also i'm finally starting to feel like i'm making progress with my play style and i don't really want to stall it by spending the next few days only playing support.

basically i will play support for you once and awhile sure, but i'm going full time support cause **** that ****.

I'm not talking about reducing you to support, I'm talking about learning to play cooperatively. We haven't done that. At most we've been listening to suggestions from elph about what we should do moment-to-moment. I only landed on this idea because Jinx is a character requiring a good support. If you just want to play by your ego and get as many kills as possible while ignoring actually winning the game then by all means just keep doing your solo thing. But this is a team game, and teams play by playing as teams. We are a club, and we play with voice chat, and atm we are not utilizing voice chat in a way that very well could lead us to dominate any game we play.

I will happily play in a role that helps you if you have a role for me to play with a champion you feel that you can advance with if they have a role that I can help you with, but Jesus Christ don't dismiss the idea cause you want to rack up champion kills. That's retarded. Let's remember. Elph is clearly better than us by miles, but he's still silver. Silver is decent. It's not gold. It's not platinum. It's not challenger. He is not the god of LoL. Let's try ****. Let's have fun trying **** for ****'s sake.

damn dude, you don't need to be a ***got.

nah but for real i'm not saying no to your idea i'm just saying i think you're looking too far into it. it's not like non-professional LoL requires in-depth voice communication in order to do well. and while i definitely agree it would be nice to win more often, regular PVP literally means nothing and whether we're both playing great on two different lanes, both playing **** on two different lanes, or both playing ****/great on the same lane, it won't change the outcome of the game that much. it's not like we're in a spot where we're going to start carrying.

let's just keep going with it and when the decision suits us to do that, we'll do it. we don't need to be in the same lane to communicate well anyway considering how often we're just one lane apart while elph is playing jungle.

alright good team talk boys.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 10-11-2017, 04:34 PM

oh and it's not so much champion kills as it is being competent at the game. and when it comes to getting better i would rather focus a couple champions i like playing rather than have one of us spend all this time playing a support and then not improving outside of that role.

Yeah, I understand that, and I'm not actually criticizing what you've been teaching us, but dribbling is nothing if you can't also pass at the same time. If you think my idea is **** then please ****ing make a suggestion for how we (as in me and Qwerty, the people who need to learn cooperative play) can play together effectively. Unless you just want to lord your skill over us.
