This is very true, boosters take over the ranked games this late in the season.

My smurfs games were riddled with them.

Plus the new people trying to make it gold quick, + returning players who haven't done their promos. Makes the games very very volatile.

was that on a clean account (i.e. one that hadn't been placed in a season before)? Because your previous rank plays a pretty big part in placements.

ADC positioning is "where can I stand that lets me shoot things without being at high risk of dying because I'm in that location?"
don't you feel silly now?

This is the general thing, the specific questions become then:

Who can kill me?
What skills would they use?
What range are those skills?

And during the fight: are those skills on CD?
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.

The issue is the enemy team is more likely to have a booster etc. (unless you are a booster yourself)

also, i've made a script that scrapes the winrate/experience curves for each champ from lolking, as that stuff is hard to see on the same screen
is anyone interested in that data?

Correct, but I think it's also not bad into Thresh.

It's important to pay attention to where your team as well - where can I stand that my team will peel, I'm not standing next to all of our carries while they have AoE ults etc. In a 1v5 positioning isn't going to be a priority, so its important to pay attention to everything swinging the fight.

Opposing team likely to be better than yoh is the issue because your own scrub ass is preventing a plat/diamond to be on the team youre on

I wonder how long it takes for the mf support to die down. Was against an Ashe/mf lane yesterday and as soon as Ashe ulted I just dropped my leona ult on mf and she only had the chance to fire two shots of the mf ult. That shit is so telegraphed and bad haha

There's enough good bans right now that the fact that I have to consider wasting one on the off chance that my support wants to play that garbage is really annoying.
