Anyone have any experiences with those dreadful 'drop hackers'? It's pretty terrible! I didn't think they were a big deal, having never ran into them before, but I've been unable to end a game happy for the last two days because of it. Last night I was about to win, actually hit their Nexus, when I get a connection loss. Can't reconnect. 10 minutes later the game is over and doesn't exist in my match history.

And then, just now, I had time to play one game tonight. Disconnect from the -loading screen- and can't get back in.

For those who haven't heard of it, 'drop hacking' is basically a localized denial of service attack, targeting the server that just your game is running on. This knocks everybody out of the game...so after the game decides something bad happened, it turns on loss prevention and forgets the match ever happened. If I've run into this two games in a row in non-ranked games, I shudder to think about entering ranked ._.

I see Riot's feeling purps this week.

As far as drop hacking goes, I MIGHT have had a problem with it a couple days ago. Everyone except their Yi DCed 3 minutes in. By the time we got back, he was killing our inhibs. Then all 10 players DCed and the game disappeared. Its not even in my match history.

And yeah, all purple free week. Now I feel like playing Lulu.

Anyone have any thoughts on Braum? Or is it too early?

I'm not a pro by any means, but he is pretty snazzy. It takes a bit of skill and reaction time to get his skills to be pulled off in the most effective way, but he is a godsend for a dying teammate. The one thing I didn't like a ton was his lack of damage, though. He can get away from a 1v1 but with his damage ratio being a tiny amount of his max health, he doesn't do a ton of damage. (Makes up for it with his ability to stun a bunch, though.)

... Apparently people like drophacking the League servers. Just now we were playing a normal game when around 10 minutes everybody DC'd because of immense lag.

Finally bothered finishing my promos today, had three nice games and then two really toxic ones, ended up in Silver III. :/

That's actually pretty good for placement matches, as far as I've heard. It could be much, much worse D:

Poor people in Bronze I am getting really close to those Promo matches (2 levels to go), I'm scared.

Silver is probably the second worst tier, closely following Plat. It's like everybody despises eachother. It's a matter of which team hates itself less, not which team plays better. In my brief experiences there, Bronze isn't bad at all because it seems like everybody wants to not suck, they just don't know how. Gold is probably the best to be in, it's the first tier where you can actually be skilled and fight other skilled players. So good luck getting there.

[Putnam]

Ha! That's better than Dota, where everybody thinks they're better than they are and blames everyone else for their loss no matter where they are in the MMR brackets.

[frostshotgg]

Eh, I suspect it has something to do with the clear demarcations of tiers. Silvers think "Oh, I'm Silver 5, I'm now superior to every single bronzie" no matter how untrue it may be, and then that attitude translates to everybody else. Which tends to be completely untrue, given that I've met some Bronze 5 players with better mechanics than Silver 1 players. I think to some extent the contrapositive is true for Plats, "Oh, I could be a diamond/challenger player if it weren't for these shitty teams", and they delude themselves into thinking it's always the team that sucks. You could do some really interesting psychological studies on it.

Funny story is that the only two placement matches that were that toxic were the ones where I was put into games with Gold IV-Vs instead of unranked people. :|

Posting in lol thread because this is true.
Also, anyone seen the lol/dota crossover vid that's being made?

Oh gods. Treant x Maokai OTP.

Someone, please. Make it be truth. Hot wood on wood action, bark flying everywhere, entire countryside covered in sap. The love story of the millennium. Forests will collide. Repeatedly.

E: Ahahaha, yeessss. The Internet Protects! There's pictures! Though apparently nothing explicit. Or notably romantic looking, but whatever. Characters have been shipped with less grounding.
