I have been playing a ton of League still. I am level 22 now, still playing mainly Xin Zhao and Teemo. I had a game a few days ago that was ridiculously fun and easy and I ended up with 37 kills and 7 deaths.

Also, it takes a lot longer to get to level 30 than I thought it would. I wanted to get there for season 3 but I didn't play for a few months and it never happened.
The jump from 20 to 30 is quite long compared to pre 20.
Just grind yo!

I bought an XP boost for 3 days back in the day, but in retrospect, that's completely unnecessary.
If you really like the game, you'll end up 30 fast enough, trust me. IP boost is the only thing worth getting.

Had similar stats/matches Saturday.
But yesterday I fucked it all up, I've lost 5 games in a row :'( So sad, last game was my fault, other games just bad teammates/leavers.
I can only confidently carry randoms with Fizz.
Otherwise, I prefer to just play with friends and people from other forums. >.>

Venturing into ranked for the first time, with a couple of friends in a crappy team.
Some placement matches we just get absolutely wrecked (a 5-31 defeat comes to mind), some matches it's a bit better.

Just awful sometimes, we get ranked Bronze V, and then we just say 'fuck it, let's start a new team'. And we do it all over again. So so bad, I keep saying we should play in Bronze V and it'll only get better, but I'm not the only one in the team of course.

I understand how they feel.
Sat, its not worth it.
Start again and get placed higher.
Trust me
But tbh, just play some normals to try out team comps first. A good champion comp is key

Why can't we play in Bronze V for a while, climb up the ladder? I'm 100% sure we can get out of Bronze V, we've played 2 matches so far and we've won both. We're just better than that, and I think it's better to rise in this shitty league than to play placement matches again against teams that will be much more powerful than us (we encountered a team with over 7000 wins in total during our placement matches..... We only had 1400 wins)

I'm not planning on quitting anytime soon, no way, we just need to play more and maybe look for a real team comp some day. At the moment we just pick what we want (of course according to our lane), but we don't really aim to really work with each other. Mainly because we just don't know yet.

Yeahh you have a point too, mmm. It will just be a long grind back up. Long.
Unless you smash your wins and the system recognizes you are too good for your league, when that happens, LP gain gets significantly higher.
I'm experiencing this in my Bronze IV solo queue league :P
It saves time starting again but if you WANT to grind, do it! Your divisional LP should soar provided you carry on winning

Heh, I know what you mean with team comps, just gotta start picking champions with good synergy.
What champions do your team play? I could easily think of some good combo's for you.

Well if we're really 'stuck in ELO Hell', then we'll just start over, no big deal really. It's team ranked so not a problem at all.

My best champs are Leona and Nasus. Malphite I've played tons too, but it has been a long time now. Also since they ban him very often in ranked, he's not that handy to have in your arsenal at the moment :)
I'm pretty good at Sona too, furthermore I'm average with Taric, Teemo, Ezreal, Hecarim, Lux, ....

Sona with loads of AoE Damage over time ults kills in team fights.
So Sona's with fiddlesticks and kennens, (kennen ult for double stun) then have an MF at the back with her ult and maybe irelia as the damage clean up.
Leona is really in your face and is nicely combo'd with maokai coz of twisted advance,
Also, Shen up top and Nocturne in teh jungle, thats a hell lot of global presence for ganks B-)
Team fight ulti's are really what make the difference here, I play Fizz alot and I find I can only sweep in towards the end of fights coz in the big skirmishes i need the cc'ers to allow me passage through.
Heh, elo hell isnt bad with ranked teams coz, its your team. Elo hell is just what people use to describe having bad teammates.
I always jungle in solo queue so i can carry teh team by ganking failing lanes

Have you ever tried placing a million teemo shrooms all in between the base turret and the inner turret of mid lane? Wins team fights instantly. :yay: Whole team comes to get in your base, and they all take like 1000 damage stepping in the first few, then when they try to escape, stepping in the ones towards the jungle, or if they carry on forward stepping in more hehe

Yeah Sona ult and MF is a nobrainer of course.
I've never tried Maokai, he seems cool though. I've got Shen and played a few games, enjoyable. Have to keep an eye out for low health teammates at any time though, it's hard to do that and keep last-hitting like a boss.
He's cool though, I'll play him some more this weekend I think.

And yeah, ranked team isn't that bad, we're just messing around a bit, if it gets too bad we can just start over.
Of course I've tried placing Teemo shrooms all over the place. I just find Teemo too hard to really play in Ranked, he's fun and all but in teamfights he's useless unless fed (at which point every champions becomes unstopabble).
You never see Teemo in high-elo either, says enough. Not a champ you want to keep playing with, just fun for periods.

Also quick question; can you use activate able items and an ability via the left-side portraits? In the left-side you have your teammates, their health/mana/level/ulti CD, and it would be handy if you could heal them or shield them via those portraits.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
