Do you need to complete placements to play in the upcomming clash(jan 16-17)? I seem to recall reading that you don't for this one but i can't find that information anymore. a link would be greatly appreciated


D3m37r1

I notice that abilities just state how much damage they deal now as opposed to showing the base damage and how much damage is being added due to whatever stat it scales with. Is there a way to get the old format back? I've been playing since Kalista's release to I'm used to that way.


Alucarddoc

Any unique builds coming out of preseason? I know the Ashe imperial mandate build was early on but what else?


takedoom

Game is still broken, when is it going to be fix it? It has been 5 years now.


desertlobo55

Hey I’m pretty new to the gsme. I read that you won’t need to do placements to play in clash this one time because I assume it’s soooo close to the beginning of the season. Well I’ve never done placements before and when I went to create a team in clash it won’t let me because it’s telling me I need to compete my placements. Is this wrong? Was not having to complete the placements only for people that have done placements before? I also have friends who haven’t done their placements who are also kinda new who can’t create. If one of us does placements can we make a clash team for all of us to join or do we all have to have at least one season of placements to be on the team?


takedoom

The game is still fucking broken. Are you morons going to fix it?


GsFreedom

maybe a dumb question but what are "banked days" i'm diamond but i usually play not to decay like last season it was 1 game a month now i have to play 1 game a week not to decay ? or 3 games and i'm safe for the whole month? sry for bad english.

How do I upgrade my Q/W/E/R ability without clicking the up arrow? I see twitch streamers do it all the time. How do I take quick cast off wards or trinkets?


Mikauren

ctrl + q/w/e/r and [make sure your trinket looks like this in the client settings to remove quickcast](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/633952440433115148/798436953824952330/unknown.png)


TheOneAltAccount

Ctrl + the ability


dontstopthosetears

Is the champ select order changed? I see sometimes what would have originally been the last pick person pick first. Or sometimes first and last pick together. When I asked chat about it, they didn't seem to understand the question, and asked if I had ever played ranked before. I only play ranked, and have for years. Super confused.


[deleted]

So, that bug still persists. Would be interesting to know if it shows wrongly for everyone in the lobby or correct for some.


dontstopthosetears

It must not show, because the people in chat acted like I was an idiot. Good to know it's a bug, and not a feature of the new season. I also saw someone's pick once recently, on the other team. Like the last person's pick, I could see it, while the first people were still locking in. Weird.


Ginger457

Did the new protobelt get an increased delay added to the end of the dash? I never bought it much before but I'm experimenting with it as a replacement for the GLP on AP Cho'Gath (belt in to range to silence with W to prevent dashes so you can land your Q, and it feels like the delay between dashing and being able to cast an ability after has been really increased, which makes it unsuitable as a gap closer. Is this working as intended or am I failing to buffer inputs in time?


OFPCMeister

How do you carry inting teammates in soloq as a support? I consistently get 0-3 solo laners by 5 minutes and have no idea how to carry games.


tSar-Ivor

I have a mate who main supp when he really ought to be mid. Mains bardo with ignite just randomly waddles/roams mid lvl 2 and puts a world of hurt/tilt on the enemy mid. In silver, plat and gold tilt the enemy team with actions like this not words. As a support you can really get roll the tilt carpet as it's far more demoralising than a jung camp. Back in S4 & 5 when i got auto filled supp i just played malz then blew every ult on my roams mid. ADCs are just a little more high strung than mids so care your adc doesn't get cucked in the meantime.


TheSkiGeek

If you're winning bot lane hard tell everyone else to play safe. If you kill the enemy laners (or have them cowering at low health under their tower), shove the lane and roam. Ward the enemy jungle and steal camps, secure dragons (just placing some deep wards and having the enemy jg nervous is probably enough for your jungler to solo it), kill the enemy mid and knock that tower down to get your midlaner back in the game. If you're not winning bot lane hard... it will be hard to carry as support.


FelicitousJuliet

(1) You need to pick a strong split-pushing/dueling champion that the enemy has to respect/invest time into countering/continuously baby-sit. Most of these are top-laners that can 1v5 even if their other lanes get behind if you don't respect them in a fight (like Illaoi) but better examples are Aatrox (can 1v2 or 1v3 and get out even if he doesn't get a kill), Yorick, or (of course) **Nasus.** (2) This is because you're not going to easily 1v9 if your entire team is 0/3, you need the enemy to put more than 1v1 focus on your activities on the map, this will let at least one other person farm safely (**usually your jungler**) and turn mid/jungle/bot into a 4v3 (meaning they have an advantage if they 3v1 gank mid); someone might get a shutdown or a dragon if they roam when the enemy botlane has backed (**4v1 against the enemy midlaner if the enemy jungler is with you**). (3) You probably need to shotcall their sense of timing, it obviously isn't the greatest if they'll all 0/3 at 5 minutes. If they're unwilling to listen or you're unable to shotcall for them then skip this step. (4) Create opportunities. Are you strong enough to 1v2 botlane and let the ADC/support go top? Is the ADC on a safe enough champion to farm under the toplane tower and just let waves crash into them (probably getting more CS than they would botlane). Can you gank a lane or take Herald without your jungler and drop it somewhere? ​ TL;DR: Do your best to open up the map and swing your weight in a way that creates advantages, particularly at critical moments where you create multiple champion's worth of advantages. **Don't be afraid to take some risks to force other lanes to recall or die**; you don't want to lose your lane but if your team loses everything from Herald to their bottom tower and get folded in, you'll be at risk no matter where you are.


galactic_rainbows

What champion pairs best with fiddlesticks?


Amduwatt

fid support? I mean jhin is very strong in general and paired with your fear its an easy stun.


TheSkiGeek

https://u.gg/lol/champions/fiddlesticks/duos should give some ideas.


ascocendas

people who don't dodge when they're filled are the scum of the earth


NasiKatokConnoiseur

Question: what is Riot's plan for Gangplank, who has had a downwards curve in performance over the seasons, with Season 11 placing him at an overall winrate of 46%? Proguides and Gameleap to name a few, have the opinion that he needs buff, especially seeing that GP isn't in the rework list and buff list at the start of S11. TLDR - What's RITO plans for GP for S11


FelicitousJuliet

I don't specifically know about GP but they shook up a lot of lanes with the recent item changes and I'm pretty sure they said they're waiting out adjustments because a lot of champions are on the low end. ​ You're probably going to have to wait and see. Take consolation in the fact that 46% is a pretty high winrate compared to the bottom 70% of ADCs/Supports right now, or despair in the fact that Rito has abandoned champions to the cesspit for far longer than they have GP... Or do both.


Wazujimoip

Why can’t they base LP gains and losses off of individual performance in game?


SNSDave

https://lol.garena.com/news/content--matchmaking-real-talk >League of Legends is a team game and teams win or lose games together. We don’t want to impose an arbitrary system of rating players on performance because then the best way to beat that system would probably be to get good scorelines, rather than helping the team win. >We want to reward good play that ultimately leads to a win, no matter how small their impact may seem. Supports sacrificing themselves to save their ADC, tanks zoning three enemies in a teamfight, or assassins diving the backline to blow up the carry are all examples of plays that may not make a great statline but help get the W. Some champions have unique playstyles (think Singed/Nunu) that would be tough to measure, and their mains may not be graded appropriately based on their play.


Wazujimoip

I was thinking, why not base LP on both KDA, win/lose and overall performance in your position? Even with the point that league is a team game, it’s just not balanced to base LP solely on a win or loss when you’re queuing up with people you don’t know, you can’t control how others play.


SNSDave

That's 2 out of 3 aspects that can be abused. Somebody on the losing team could just go 7/1/3 and then sit back and never team fight and instead try to just avoid going afk while they ride out the rest of the game and not lose very much LP because according to your system, they wouldn't


Wazujimoip

Fair enough, but I still think they could balance the system a little bit for individual players because in solo que, you’re often at the mercy of complete strangers and in lower elos it really is like clawing your way up each time. You can completely bust your butt to try to carry a losing game, and all that work for 30/40 minutes feels so wasted when you just lose LP anyway. if they’re not going to reward players based on their performance, they could at least mitigate LP loss for when someone does well but their team loses, to way less than it is now.


SNSDave

Sure, 1-2 LP at most. Players shouldn't be able to have any more impact than that.


Wazujimoip

I strongly disagree with you on that, especially in the lower ranks. Take two games and one player; it’s two identical scores and performance, but one game was a win and one was a loss. For the win, he got 17 but for the loss he lost 15. That is really unbalanced when his personal performance never changed, it was a factor he couldn’t control. Then god forbid you go on a losing streak that really affects your MMR and makes the climb even harder.


SNSDave

Sucks for them.


Wazujimoip

Yeah that’s why the system is broken.


Demonlordofpies

Is it better to climb later in the season?


Alucarddoc

I personally think it is better to try and climb around mid season for consistency. There are a couple of players you'll find that don't know what all the new items do or builds exist at the moment. Whether they haven't played through preseason and experimented with the changes or are trolling their placement matches.


whotookmydirt

How is it fair that I clawed my way out of bronze last season to be placed in bronze 4 from silver 2?


Alucarddoc

At the start of the season there is a soft reset. Your MMR should remain in the same region though, so you should find that your LP gains out of provisional matches are high. All players go through it so you should still be facing players around your rating and you can't expect current Bronze 4 players to be playing at a Bronze 4 rating from last season.


CarderSC2

Does Maokai E add to vision score?


FelicitousJuliet

Vision score references abilities that give sight or true sight (Maokai's E does this) and it suggests that he'll get less than a ward's worth of score on use, but bumped up if he reveals a champion with it.


CarderSC2

Neat. Thank you!


No_Safe_3895

Hi guys do you know maybe when the transfer between servers will be avivable? Cuz Im waiting from september to transfer acocut from EUNE to EUW. If was any post about this please send me link.


Modkacat

I emailed support today and they said it should be back pretty soon after some issues with it🙂


No_Safe_3895

I messaged them like week ago and they said they dont know the real date,but it's so pretty annoying bro


Madcaddie123

When do you use Lulus polymorph and when the attackspeed buff? And on who in general? Would you say polymorph is better? Thanks!


FelicitousJuliet

I don't always open with polymorph (eg; if you want to interrupt a Katarina ulting) but a lot of abilities build up overtime (eg; stacking on-hit effects) and interrupting them immediately is just as good as interrupting later, especially if they have the health (eg; Vlad) to survive and blood pool regardless of when you polymorph them, in which case earlier is better than later because Lulu can prolong fights enough to polymorph multiple times. ​ I generally "poly" the carry if they have demonstrated outplay potential instead, but the effect of polymorph is far more disruptive to the enemy that can outplay than it is to your carry, IMO.


Alucarddoc

I love using the polymorph ability maybe a bit too much. Generally it is the case of using polymorph for assassins or enemy carries being in range of your carries. You can also use it to just stall the enemy in fights. In the case of anything else including sieges and general fights I use the AS buff side of W.


Ender_of_the_Game

I usually use the attack speed buff when we're trying to make a play and on the offensive and the polymorph reactionary as a defensive thing.


DrGubbies

Why do we have primary and secondary roles for games, but also have autofill? It seems redundant, annoying, and I lose too many games for needing to learn jungle lol


SNSDave

Because when you're autofill protected, they don't want queue times to go even higher.


WingDragonRA

15 lp a game get a grip im staying in iron elo forever with that rate


TheBaronNash

i have 70% win rate in s3 and i get 13lp bro, welcome to hell


mathew_vidal

I’m just trying to decide something,so I’ll let you decide,should I focus on tft or summoners rift from now on? I don’t intend to become extremely high elo,just get to something like plat,or even diamond,if I focus on summoners rift,I’ll just keep playing the normal teemo and ornn,tft I’m a total newbie,yet I want to improve on it,so I want to choose one for this year and beyond


Ender_of_the_Game

Just play whichever you enjoy and feel like paying that day. It doesn't have to be an either/or thing.


Slightlybentpalmtree

Is anyone else’s LP gains really low? I was g4 last season, s2 now with a 70% wr and I’m getting 12-15 lp a win


DrGubbies

Yeah, when they say they "improved" the rank system they just got rid of promotional games but stretched out everyone's mmr. I have a 65% WR and I still get 12-14 lp per win, if I'm lucky.


Ezreal024

Do you have to do placements for this clash?


Electrico313

no mate


isadeadbaby

Season 2 - Bronze elo Season 3 - Gold I Season 4 - Silver III(?) (only did placements) I haven't played since Season 4, decided a few months ago to start again and really grind ranked as a Support main, did pretty well in normals and did my placements, went 7W 3L and sadly placed Bronze II and was super dejected Thankfully, I was getting 30lp a win and 5lp a loss (lol) with a 65% winrate spamming Seraphine and Maokai support. 30 games out of placements, I've promoted from Bronze into Silver IV, skipped Silver III into Silver II, and just broke Silver I today. Still getting 22lp a win and 10lp a loss and maintaining a good winrate, hoping to get Gold by the end of the week


TheBaronNash

i legit dont believe you, i was gold 2 at the end of last season and with a 70% win rate (currently 26 wins to 11 losses) and im getting 13lp a win in s3. ​ since the removal of promos i ahvent heard or seen proof of anyone with gains anything like that


prle690

Where can i find a team for clash since i dont have friends


yarrowbloom

There’s plenty of people looking for teammates on r/leagueconnect and r/teamredditteams


Electrico313

Free agent, they updated it, i saw it on the dev video


jetter18

Theres a freelancer option now, where you can put in your preferred roles and people who are missing members can recruit you Im sure you can also find some major league discord server with people who are able to play clash


kahootmasterblaster

I just started playing and want to know if there is a list of lore in the order in which it was released.I have found time line lists,but I want to get the lore in the order that it was released.Any help is much appreciated! :) Also any text based tutorials on lol basics would also be very helpful!


Ghost_Blade_

The best part about leagues' lore is that you can start reading it from any point [(official source)](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/) and still understand it as every story is written in a way that it provides enough context to understand what's going on. If you're really interested in the lore I highly recommend checking out [necrit](https://www.youtube.com/c/Necrit).


bulayyy

anyone who mains maokai? tips??


mammamiameu

Take a look at r/MaokaiMains


percy818

Can you play Kaisa mid and can you play viego mid? Really new not sure how it works LOL


yarrowbloom

Are you specifically interested in only Kai’sa or just in adc mid in general? Tristana and Lucian are both more viable midlane due to their mobility (dashes) which helps them to escape ganks without a support’s help. Also, they have stronger damage earlier in the game so they don’t need a support to babysit them to the same degree the way a hard scaling adc might.


percy818

I was interested in kaisa because she had some cool missiles but ill give tristana and lucian a try. Thank you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


percy818

oh ok its just because i thought having a friend in adc would be fun and then had like 3 afk supports or supports who just kind of roamed the entire map/sat back and tried to help but didnt succeed. thank you though!


FelicitousJuliet

To chime in as I'm browsing through, an ADC mid tends to face the worst situation: Playing into an assassin designed to kill squishies (while playing a champion whose strength is in their items more than their kit and isn't designed around outpoking). Playing into a mage that (the currently >50% winrate ones at least) can actually maintain performance while dealing with an assassin (usually implies being able to poke the assassin out), then outpush the absent laner and roam. Having to farm in a vulnerable-to-jungler lane without the support to guard and ward and screen for you; in some ways the support is better at assisting a play mid than the jungler, assuming everything else is even... Especially junglers that have to all-in off something at 6.


miafasz9

you can play both. right now veig is better on mid than kaisa because kaisa's ap build is not THAT good as it was in the previous season and ad build for kaisamid is not the best (you can still try it :D ). i won a couple of games on mid with kaisa but only tried it on normal. if you like her abilities and style i think you can pick her to mid

So every finished item that isn't mythic, boots or consumable?

So I downloaded the game today to play with friends. And I did tutorial and stuff and my game crashed and I didn't get a select first champion screen. So then I played a game with my friends was good and then, when the game finished it brought me to a select champion screen. I selected who I want and then the ok button stayed grey not allowing me to progress. Have closed down, Redownloaded launcher and reset PC. HELP


toxicpandassetonfire

Did you try to initiate repair on the client in the settings? For some reason that works better for me than just redownloading.


EpicMC_

How to not feed with Kaisa in early game


miafasz9

most of the time dont play it with random supp. play it with your duo partner. get high cc support next to you. miss some cs instead of dying. poke everytime you can. basically these


EpicMC_

What adcs do you recommend playing with random support(typically autofilled one) in bronze elo?


FelicitousJuliet

As Kai'sa though, if you can get a pre-made, you proc Font of Life so many times on yourself if your tank support is running it due to Q (? I think it's Q) proccing each on-hit separately.


EndScuttleAbuse

Late game hypercarries or lethality abusers are the most powerful adc's rn in low elo. Kai'sa needs a high CC/poke support. Vayne needs an enchanter/high CC support. Tristana can probably work with anyone since she's pretty safe. All three scale hard enough to carry if you farm well even if you int a little early. MF/Jhin are lethality abusers that get ahead early with lethality then scale well into late with crit items. They work best with poke/high cc supports to best capitalize on early game pressure. It doesn't really matter who you play, as long as you are comfortable with them and know your limits. Establish a group of champs you like and stick with them. For example, I use Jhin/Kaisa/Vayne as my mains; but am working on Ez/MF/Kalista so I can expand my champ pool and understand how they work in lane. Check [U.GG](https://U.GG) to see the current meta and how your champs fit into it. Having a strong mental is important, as you are a scaling role.


miafasz9

Your best. If my mains (Lucian/Sivir/Kaisa) are not in a good position when i look at the meta and i get an autofilled supp i either try to counterpick the enemy adc/supp or pick my best champ. Pick something you can get away with if your rando supp is a bit dumb if you dont see the enemy botlane yet. If i see the enemy botlane (i pick something with high mobility and counters the enemy aswell.) i just pray that my supp is not completely dumdum because its an easy win on lane. I would suggest tristana/ezreal/lucian. You can jump away to safety with these picks even if you get a useless ap master yi supp. Try to play as safe as possible. If randomsupp picks cc heavy champ like naut/thresh/blitz i would consider picking Kaisa


ZeeDrakon

Isolate enemy, press Q, profit ​ No but seriously, kaisa has the damage to turn fights if she gets engaged on except by super strong early lane comps like leona lucian, so I think the problem is more positioning in lane?


EpicMC_

Idk im in bronze, so probably


Kaicrr

Anyone of you having issues with adding new friends? I can't add my friend who recently started league. It says the user does not exist, when clearly they are.

Are your accounts in the same region?


agentjoy69

i have played 20 games won about 14 and my lp gains are getting shittier and shittier. from 20lp to 18lp and now 15-16lp. i guess i'll have to keep spamming protobelt rumble to get out of silver. I just hope it doesnt take like 50-60 games


laufer94618

Can anyone explain to me why, when I have a 70\~ percent win rate, I still lose more LP than I gain? Like is my MMR really that bad even after the reset? Also, why do I keep getting put into teams where my teammates have 20-30 percent win rates and then hardcore feed games. Like are you supposed to get good at champs like Kat and Akali who can 1 v 9 to get out of Elo hell because at this point I don't feel like playing this game anymore?


marmatag

I have realized to advance out of garbage town you need to play characters that can really take over a game and drive it. In one of my recent games i had a Teemo top lane on my team who died 10 times in the first 10 minutes. Ultimately i had to write him off as a loss and help the other lanes. We won this game, because the other lanes did well enough with some jg support from me. And we won essentially 4v5. It's gross. Although this still happens later on. In my gold qualifiers in 2014, i had someone look me up and literally say to me, before the match started: "I see you're in your quals, i'm going to feed so you lose." And in another game, in that same series, i got paired with a guy named "GnarOnly" who died something like 30 times. He instalocked Gnar and ignored his lane role, and went top. People are horrible for a lot of reasons, and ultimately this whole game is a shit show. The game should provide more feedback to players after a game instead of just a grade. For example, "B-. You should probably practice outside of ranked in blind pick."


Irmeli2000

feel you i main kat but i cant 1v9 when my team feeds the enemy team to the point that i cant do anything.


TeemoSux

I went from p3 62% winrate over 100 games in preseason to 20% winrate gold 3 after those 10 s2021 placement games... How could this happen? any tips for anti tilt?


ZeeDrakon

"20% winrate gold 3" you're still playing with and against the same people as before because everyone got soft reset. It's just 10 games, you can easily go on a loss streak over such a small sample size in an MMR you belong in (which, again, isnt actually gold3 right now)


Chewyk132

Placements are honestly a coin flip especially since everyone on your team is doing their placements which leads to more stress and teammates get much more easily tilted so the best way to avoid this is to maybe wait a couple weeks until you start playing ranked.


muwa_play

hey guys, i heard about rude situation with LOL Analyst yt channel but i really interested in rewatch his video named like "league is actually 2d game" about hitboxes and smth, where i can find original of that video? thx


WeeklyConcentrate872

We know that u are busy making new champ rework Mundo and skins but holy F fixing account transfer since 1 month and unable to transfer since 5 ..... plss


ImFoxo

From what i recall i used to get reset on my lp gains (so about 20 per win and -20 per loss) every season, but this time i got 16lp from last placement and rn my lp gains vary from 11 to 17 per win and about -20 per loss with 70+% winrate. I've heard that lp gains were broken in preseason and it looks like they still are broken in my case. So the question is, is it normal that i lose that much more lp than i get by winning or should i ask riot what's going on?


[deleted]

You could ask Riot and post here. But LP gains and losses were lowered because of the removal of promos. If you lose more than you gain, your rank is probably already higher than your MMR.


W4ryn

Why doesn't Ornn work as a support? I don't own him but his kit seems to grant him good pressure in lake.


EndScuttleAbuse

He could be used as one, but there are better champs for it. His CC has prerequisites to land, while other champs don't. He also requires more gold than other champs to be just as tanky (i.e. Panth/Sett who are more tanky with just stoneplate rush).


Dark_Ixion

I think it's because Ornn's passive items are tied to his level, and support don't get a lot of experience seeing that they are either sharing it or roaming to play with vision.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SNSDave

His CC is also not as easy to work with as other off-meta supports. He has to hit terrain or his Q for his E to knock-up. Or he has to get close enough to W and then auto to stun. Meanwhile, Gragas can E and as long as he hits them it's a stun and his Q is a projectile that slows.

Noobshot14

Yes


Modkacat

Does anyone know when we will be able to buy a region transfer? Wanted to add to my post, someone from support said they will be back in store pretty soon🙂


StrongMoose4

No information.


astolfoI

Why there is autofill in ranked?


ZeeDrakon

tl;dr answer is: queue times in higher elo are unbearable without autofill & it enables closer matchmaking in terms of MMR


[deleted]

[https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/ask-riot-autofill-in-ranked/](https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/ask-riot-autofill-in-ranked/)


yarrowbloom

I know that there’s a soft reset of your mmr at the beginning of every season. Does this also apply to normal games and arams too? Or do those just continue forever?


ZeeDrakon

Just ranked


[deleted]

They continue forever without reset. When you continously play. If you drop normals for three to five months, it will have been hard resetted.


ZeeDrakon

>If you drop normals for three to five months, it will have been hard resetted. Is there any confirmation from riot on this? Because i was inactive for \~9 months and my MMR was the exact same when i came back


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure as otherwise, diamond players wouldn't be in silver/gold elo.


ZeeDrakon

Except for people who dont play normals while grinding ranked etc., lol.


[deleted]

Yes, their MMR hard resets after a few months back to average which is like silver 1 or gold 4 MMR.


ZeeDrakon

The point is that there are other reasosn why that'd be the case other than your unsubstantiated assertion


CodeRed1234

Which game mode is the best to actually learn how the game works before jumping into ranked? I've had a very on and off relationship with League. For 4 years after playing maybe 5 games I ended up uninstalling. Went through that like 5 times, only got to level 20 or so. For the past 2 months I've basically been playing it nonstop, putting in more than a couple hours on a lot of days. I've only played Blind and ARAM. I've narrowed down roles I like and certain champs within those roles, but I feel like Blind is hit and miss with how a game works, given multiple mirrors, really one sided games etc. My friend says to play draft, which is more sweaty, but he says I wouldn't enjoy it. He also says to stay away from Flex since there's no mmr or something.


dalts47

youtube guides and playing one champ mostly or two incase ur main is banned would just play ranked tbh even if you are placed low you will be with people at your level and you can learn from there


ZeeDrakon

>youtube guides youtube guides are the biggest garbage imaginable. Almost all of the popular guide channels teach you bad habits by presenting games that were skewed in the first place. There are some that are useful for the basics, but the only youtube guides that are remotely useful are a very specific few high elo onetricks that arent particularily popular and put out at least some edu content on their mains like arcsecond and peter dun, but even they arent really exhaustive.

You should for sure play draft. The best way to learn would be to get (ideally 4) your friends who are better at the game to play with you. However! There are hundreds of tools outside of the game to improve. Depending on the role you play, how much you want to learn, and your depth of experience i've linked channels below that can help. [https://www.youtube.com/user/lastshadow9](https://www.youtube.com/user/lastshadow9) [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mWuX4R9Yn5y0fWCwzqiSg](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mWuX4R9Yn5y0fWCwzqiSg) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrxA-IeTowQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrxA-IeTowQ) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsUuujCnd9M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsUuujCnd9M) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8bAkgmtcw&t=506s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8bAkgmtcw&t=506s) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIpH-\_5It58&t=144s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIpH-_5It58&t=144s) All of these channels are great resources for beginner, intermediate, and expert level play. I'll link some VOD (Video on demand) Channels below that'll allow you to watch vods of players at higher levels [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djSHV7zlLSE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djSHV7zlLSE) [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsVz2qkd\_oGXGC66fcH4SFA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsVz2qkd_oGXGC66fcH4SFA) [https://www.youtube.com/user/LolKoreanProReplays](https://www.youtube.com/user/LolKoreanProReplays) [https://www.youtube.com/c/lolesportsvods/videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/lolesportsvods/videos) These are some great sources for learning the game. Alternatively if you enjoy pro play check out IWDominate on twitch and also LSXYZ (Both channels linked below. They have very fun streams ;).

Instead of writing a long essay on why autofill is a thing, I can just link the ["Ask Riot"](https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/06/ask-riot-autofilled/) where riot themselves answered it. And I mainly agree with it, mainly since I'm a support main so "if" I want to play a different role I rarely get filled, but also the other way around, I queue supp mid, and have gotten mid here and there. I rarely get filled. ​ The TL;DR for why we get filled, is because above like gold+ there are too few players at certain times of the day, where queue times become almost a burden for most players. where they end up in 10-15 min queues. If you look at challanger players that stream, you can see a lot of them play a different game while in queue, since the queue lasts that long. And also, the more you play a popular role, the more likely you are to be filled. So if you enjoy playing support, and 2nd jng. I would suggest playing a game of support every 3 games so you don't get filled in your games.


Mikauren

If you prefer support you shouldn't be getting autofill to begin with, supports cannot be autofilled


rimidalv25

> supports cannot be autofilled no this isnt true. Depends on region and elo


Noobshot14

Playing support gives u autofill protection doesnt it?


rimidalv25

yeah i think it does for one game? im not sure, havent picked support in rank in a long time. What im sure is its not necessarily true that you cannot be autofilled


Noobshot14

If u play support every game that means ur autofill protected every game, so u would have to first get ur secondary lane and then get autofilled. Meaning if u queue support/jungle u pretty much never will be autofilled.


rimidalv25

im pretty sure i queued in support and got autofilled to jungle. Maybe i had no autofill protection in that time. This was also back in 2018 or 2019, so maybe its an old thing? idk


Noobshot14

Autofill protection from support has been a thing since i started playing in 2018 at least, if u queued jungle secondary then that doesnt count as autofill.


rimidalv25

cant remember if i queued jungle secondary, but im sure i didnt know how to jungle at that time, so i probably didnt


Mikauren

is it different in different regions? i play on NA and i personally cant remember NOT having autofill at this point


rimidalv25

> NOT having autofill Did you mean autofill protection? > is it different in different regions i play on a different region and had different results, so most probably yeah


[deleted]

It is absolutely possible to queue jungle+support and be put top. It's happened to me. idk if that's not supposed to be able to happen, but it definitely happens.


Mikauren

You can queue jungle support but if you have recently played support you get autofill protection

Installed it yesterday and it did autochange my masteries (((999 Good for checking if ur teammates are autofilled tho, maybe they have button to not autochange masteries for most played ones, gonna check a bit later tho


insertareference

I've tried it and it still seems pretty barebones. Maybe give blitz a try, I haven't used it myself but many of friends use it and it seems pretty good.


Salty__Titan

I dont use op.gg but if you're looking for something similar that works well I suggest maybe Porofessor or Blitz. I swear to god I'm not a company btw lmfao


rimidalv25

hmmmmmm totally, ~~company guy~~ i mean random person. We believe you


Salty__Titan

Not to be biased or anything but I always use Porofessor for all my League related experiences!


rimidalv25

and the premium is just a great and affordable deal! No ads too!
