How long does it take for the referral system to recognize that a smurf has reached LVL 5?

Redeeming your prizes might not be instant though.

My favorite one.

 

[Ignatius]

Probably Dominion now.

If you don't mind boring againstbots coop, but occasionally you get puerile who refuse top push.fastest is probably 4 smurfs and one friend on his 30 account on a snowballing champ.

Dominion gives exp like tt, but typically takes longer than tt.

 

[Vyke]

Longer than TT? From my experience that map tends to go longer because of the HOLY **** LETS TURTLE FOREVER BECAUSE THE NEXUS IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOUNTAIN strategy employed.

Probably less prevalent at lower elo though, I guess. Still, Dominion probably more consistent than it now.

 

[Ignatius]

Its very uncommon to not have a 15 minute surrender in my experience, and occasionally you win before that as well. Although occasionally it can go longer as well. The best thing about TT smurfing is that for the most part it's genuinely awful players instead of smurfs everywhere.

Whereas from my experience in smurfing dominion, unless I super carry my team is always awful and we lose: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/Ignatius256/LoLDominioncarry.png

Not to mention the games take forever. That's about 7 exp more than you get for a 15 minute surrender on TT. It just has not been efficient for me at all.

So, I made it through my first full LoL match today.

That match was f***ing fun.

 

[MacD]

if you ever play a game with snowmail12, fear for your life

somehow had him 3 ranked games in a row on my team

fed 8 kills before 20 min each game

proceeds to tell everyone else they suck

... yeeee?

 

[DMG]

Skankalicious
A cat is fine too
OJ did it

Sir Poopington




The list goes on and on

 

[PhantomX]

I always hate when I see DMG1 on my team. Whatascrub.

 

[DMG]

Im clearly the best DMG cause I have a 1 after my name

 

[JTB]

my adventures in co-op vs ai at level 1-5 so far have included:

yi going 0-4 against ashe bot and rage quitting
miss fortune attempting to take tower at level 1 with no creeps by 'dodging' tower shots
alistar talking to bot team as if they were a real team

 

[Omni]

I had a Veigar that left middle lane to jungle at LVL 4. Killed by Golem twice. Then decided to start roaming.

New meta - 5 AD Carries.

100% success rate against DanGr, Jpak, and Dphat.

 

[KevinM]

Anyone up for ranked 5's when I get back from work tomorrow around 9-10 EST? I'll be on Vent, up for seriouslies and also talking about getting a more dedicated 5's team going and what we all would feel most comfortable playing

Enough talking about it time to actually do it.

Loll, I've done this before. We had to work sooo hard, but we won eventually, a la backdoor.
I think the team was Sivir, Ashe, Caitlyn, MF, Ezreal. AKA Ez and his *****es.

I'm going to play my first game in, oh, let's say two weeks shortly. What should I know?

-Are ranged carries currently good?
-I hear Morg's OP again - what lane does she take, and what's a good base build?
-Are there plenty of squishies for Akali to squish? Also, does Akali have good lane opponents right now?

Any other tips you have for the current meta are appreciated.

edit: oh yea, and is Pirate still good?

and @John: I played one game two weeks ago and that was it. So really you can say I haven't played in over a month. It's definitely been long enough that I don't know what's happening with the game. I haven't played since...right before Talon was released, I think.

 

[john!]

i don't think the meta changes that much over two weeks...

 

[PhantomX]

Especially when there hasn't been a patch in those two weeks.

if you're asking which heroes are good... it doesn't matter. if everyone played the current meta heroes then the meta would never change. play who YOU think is good, not who the community thinks is FOTM.

if you're asking about general team strategy... a few games should give you a general idea whether there are any significant changes, but there usually aren't since the actual format of the game rarely ever changes.

you'll do fine lol

But the thing is that I haven't played in forever. Example: last time I really played, Soraka was still a straight up heal bot. The game is different now, and I don't know enough about what people are doing to know who I think would do well. That's why I ask haha.

And I won't be playing a few games. I'll be playing one game, it's all I have time for, and that's why I'm coming here to try and make that one game a fun one. On that note, if anyone would like to play I'd love it And if not, your advice is appreciated.

so i've now beat akali's twice with brand in lane, like killed a couple times/out CS

and twice they go feed off my other lanes, go legendary, then we lose the game

i hate that no matter how poorly and akali is doing, she always has that chance to get fed

it's so strange to me that people on the other team can gank as 4, but people on my team can't grasp that concept, it's so sad

 

[Wave⁂]

Go to Elementz's tier list, play the first champ because Elementz says that champ is OP

Isn't that what 90% of people do?

Akali thrives on your team not being organized enough to stop her.
You should just push super hard if she leaves lane and go gank a different lane too.

Shut up.

You gave me absolutely no help whatsoever. You didn't even try. I come here to ask the people who's opinions I trust about this game, and you decide it's your moment to regurgitate your recycled line about sheep mentality (which, how bout that, is sheep mentality of its own).

Just shut up. Your post was in no way related to mine and there was no reason for you to make it.

If I was going to go to the list then I would have. Stop insulting me when I gave you little reason to.

 

[john!]

^ he wasn't insulting you, he was trying to be cynical, even though he did a bad job of it.



i have to wait >10 minutes in queue for a dominion game on my other account. it's getting a little ridiculous.
