@ Discord: There are acceptable behaviours in LoL but the two mentioned are definitely not. Trolling's apparently not acceptable? Really? I've played countless games with many trolls and even the ones who benefited from the troll's presence reported them after the game. Problem solved, one less troll to worry about. idk where you got the impression that people found it fully acceptable as nobody in the game appreciates them :( Also I don't think the 'if you can't beat them, join em' attitude is gonna do any good for you. Though I might be taking this too seriously. \_o_/

"gg ezy" is honestly spitting into your opponent's face after they've already lost. Most people would find it common courtesy to not say anything if they honestly didn't think of it as a gg. Saying ezy no matter how hard your stomp was is pretty disrespectful, honestly. I'm sure they gave it their all and at the end of the day would at least want a "gg" to appreciate their efforts. Though that's coming from the person who finds it annoying as **** to have people be jerks in-game. I still find it unacceptable though. It's not banworthy, it's just frowned upon. I don't do it myself and I appreciate it when others don't as well.

Sorry if I misunderstood any part of your post since I'm apparently pretty good at doing that. =P

@ Slayr:

Congrats on 30! Or almost 30. Either one. :0

Also I'm getting less and less enthusiastic when people tell me 'omg yaaay i got into silver'. That's great guys, I'm working my way up from B1 53LP in a mad rush to silver. Tell me about it later please. ;v;

My internet is back up and I'm now level 30!

But I'm having an off day, so I'm going to hold off on ranked for now and see if I'm having a good day tomorrow. I'm both nervous and excited for ranked matches!

"gg ezy"
I absolutely HATE "EZ". Those letters need to be deleted from LoL. It's not a reportable thing but is damn annoying.

^^Congrats on level 30! I hope you enjoy ranked and don't get stuck with uber tryhards or trolls!

Speaking of trolls, I think like... what some people consider trolling is acceptable. Like breaking the meta and trying ADC Ahri or something is fine imo (I've actually played it and it's tons of fun haha) but intentionally feeding, giving away location or like purposefully setting an anivia wall in front of allies trapping them into a fiddle ult.

Dear summoner journal... thing,

Astronaut 1337 reporting in after being assigned a new mission. Operation: Planet Silver is now commencing. The planet itself has been predicted to explode within a week and as part of my training to be the very best like no one ever was, I'm supposed to reach it in the allowed time frame. Sounds easy, right? Hell no. Especially when these dratted shrooms get in the way. Like seriously, who put these here?

Still QQing,
Astronaut 1337.

- incoming typical ranked thoughts of the day #1728 -

But yeah, I'm gonna probably give it my all to get my S5 promos before the season ends. Even if I myself believe that it'll be almost impossible with school, my skills and a lot of other things in the way, it's still worth a shot. And if not, there's always next season. But I really wanna join the silver club and all my other friends as weird as that sounds from someone who's always had a 'idgaf' sort of attitude about LoL. I'll admit that I might get carried sometimes and it's just a game but y'know. Silver borders are cool. I like being cool. ;v;

Also @ Tom:
It's not really trolling if you break the meta. Heck, I've been told by someone that 'if you pick annie supp, you're a troll and i'll report you!!!!', just because he hadn't seen it before. I ended up proving him wrong but he was still convinced that I was trolling and had been carried by the team. WELL ALRIGHT THEN. ;__; But the game focusing around what the pros are playing is getting really boring. We need more people to spice it up and play some unconventional stuff. :0

I've started playing some more unconventional picks, both in Normals and in Ranked, and I've not received much hate for it at all which is surprising! I've played some Sejuani mid, Malzahar top, Xerath support (though that's a tad more meta), Morgana jungle (only in Normals for that one), and a few other off-meta picks recently, and no one's minded at all haha. I'm sure this is just a fluke given that 99% of other ranked games end up in full-on warfare, but it's been nice seeing people show a bit more trust in their team mates. If only all games were like that, eh? XD

As for you trying to get to silver, I'm happy to duo with you if you want (currently playing Malz mid as my main pick and carrying quite hard) but at the end of the day you're picked a bad time for it - ranked right now is full of 'higher ELO' people rushing to get their ranks before the end of the season, meaning your ELO doesn't really count for a lot in half of the matches you'll get. The number of "I'm plat on my main, just getting my smurf up too before season ends" comments I've heard in the past week or two has been quite disheartening for getting Gold, but eh, guess we should've tried harder earlier XD

So I've been playing the hell out of Vladimir recently. I have no idea what inspired me to pick him up but... I love him, he has taught me a lot of patience in lane and how to abuse my range, and because of his really low base as I can farm a lot better on other champions, he's tanky, can sustain himself well, scales hard into the late game.

I think I've finally found a champion to call my own. Most games I play as Vlad now I have a hard time picking between soul stealer and blood Lord skins (first world problems ;-; )

Gotta say kalista seems awesomeee. Her kiting potential seems a little too strong. But I think her long aa animation helps make that a little more fair. She definitely seems like a champ who dominates bot lane but maybe falls off in team fights? Or maybe she can dance around them, I'm not really sure!

Also if you haven't seen it, there's a huge PBE update with tons of awesome new content including Kalista and her release skin: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/11/114-pbe-update.html#more

I'm not sure how I feel about Kalista.... I'm not a huge fan of marksmen to begin with, but I just don't like her kit. It seems very complicated and not even that good. Honestly, she's just one of those champions that does lots of damage, but if one enemy gets to her she dies in an instant, meaning she'll get focused, and then killed.

I just finished a game in such a great way. Whole enemy team was pushing our inhib turrets, and we had two inhibs down. I rushed through top lane to get to my minions, hyper cleared waves to get to their nexus turrets, blasted through them and then got the nexus to half. Got attacked by a wild Kat. She was obliterated by the kitty, and then I empowered qed the nexus to death, winning us the game in less than 2 minutes. My team started flipping ****, and I was just like "Yeah. I did that." Funny thing was, I was doing really bad that game. Killing kat was the kill that made me go even. I did clear top turret and inhib, and then nexus turrets and nexus. So I guess I did do something :P Just goes to show, Rengar is a god splitpusher. Where I was in that game build and level wise, when I mixed emp. q and ghostblade, I had a 2.31 as. Shreded the nexus turrets.

I go on sporadically but I'm GMT + 11. So just ask if you want a game I guess? I'll be around the most come the weekends. Anyway I have no problem alternating with people since there seems to be a few offers which I really appreciate. <3

Kallista, huh? I'm probably not gonna play her since my skills with ADC are terrible all around. The one thing that I'd be good at would be sniping people with Caitlyn's ult. At 32AM. That's it. Playing Ashe and not dying is like asking me to hold up a metal baseball bat during a lightning storm while dancing on a roof. I can't do it. However, I'll say from an unbiased point of view that she looks okay. Sorta complicated to understand though but I only skim read through her abilities. And her lore involves her getting murdered? ... great to know ;__;

The new champion looks pretty cool, but I'm wondering just how broken she is going to be. She's going to be an absolute monster in lane, given that she can kite any skill shot out there, and a majority of supports rely on those skill shots to actually do something (Morgana, Thresh, Blitzcrank, Galio, Nami, etc). If she is put into the hands of a master kiter (it's a word... maybe), then I think she's going to be unstoppable. She can shoot you while you chase her, dodge you stuns, and save an ally, all in an instant.

She's not going to be doing a lot besides shooting in team fights, but I fear her lane presence is going to be terrifying.

Her W apparently got nerfed so I'm not really sure how that'll affect her. Either way, I don't really care. It's one more ADC that I have to memorise their strengths/weaknesses/usefulness. bleh :(

Small update @ ranked, played a game with Olli today and our teamfight was insane since we kept getting free 4 v 5 engages. Our team was Renekton, Rengar, Vladimir, Sivir and Nami. At first we weren't doing too great with a heap of kills getting traded and Cho getting 6 stacks asdfkgl; (fortunately all off minions). Then Rengar said he wasn't a ganker sooo yeah laning vs that thing was fun. I was Renekton but fortunately my lane god opponent didn't participate in most skirmishes and even so, we were far ahead by the time he tried to. We won it pretty easily with the help of a positive and YES FINALLY PEOPLE WHO PLAY AGGRESSIVE sort of team. I love aggressive players, idk why. :( It's just my playstyle. Aggression, dive, kill, push, winnerz. I don't have time to stall out a game and baron over the open nexus. LIKE WHY

Anyway I spent the rest of the day practicing normals while listening to music. Was good stuff. <3 I'd totally play more ranked but I think my plays and mechanics at this hour would be below Wood V standards. Guess I should just practice some more and wait for tomorrow where I'll hopefully net at least a S5 promo? :D

So far, I've had three ranked matches.

The first one was pretty even, but I could tell that I was the least skilled person there. Not by much, as I was holding my own, but I wasn't aggressive enough. I was playing Wukong, and laning against a Darius, so I lost my lane, but tried to cs as much as I could. We ended up losing, but I had the least amount of deaths in the game, so at least a didn't feed, haha.

The second one I played Wukong again, when I got counterpicked against Fiora. I actually held my own in lane against her, but she roamed a lot and managed to rack up a number of kills. My team wouldn't coordinate at all and decided to focus the tank that was right in front of them while Fiora shredded them all down. Finally, my team got it together, defeated Fiora first, aced the enemy team, and we pushed for the win.

The third one was not good at all. I was Galio top lane against a Volibear and won that lane pretty easily. However, bottom lane fed like no other, and the enemy Lucian just shredded us all down and there wasn't much I could do about it.

My internet has been kind of spotty, so I'm holding off on ranked for now. It's a lot of fun, and I like the super competitive atmosphere.

Aw that sucks to hear you've lost two but y'know, at least you'll most likely do better than me! I went 3-7 and landed in B1 so keep your chin up. The same thing with Lucian happened to us, except he was on our team. I was Annie support and got him fed since their bot lane seemed slow to react/not very good at all. We won easily. =P

Anyway even though I thought it was impossible, I got up to my B1 promos after a 4 game win streak. Haven't played any yet but I'm really happy seeing as I shared my weight for all those wins except for maybe my Panth jungle one. <3 I'll edit this later when I'm done but hopefully I'll net Silver first try since I don't have time to play today/tomorrow. :(

EDIT: Had to stop playing since my hands really hurt/started getting blurry vision from too much LoL but I'm currently 2-1 with 1 win to go. :D Played Renekton and Akali in the games I won with great teams both times.

I kinda just gave up on ranked, i was duoing with a friend and he rage quit the game after 3 failed promos because of how dumb people can be in this game. So i tried climbing solo and it's even worse, i played 3 3v5 games today.

My friend gave me his acc so i'm just gonna smurf it into Bronze to feel good about myself kicking asses of total retards

I HAVE NO SHAME IN POSTING SO MANY TIMES ON THE ONE PAGE

I did it! I got to S5 going 3-1 in my promos with the help of a random person I met in an earlier game. I got blessed with 8 wins by choosing the non-carry but more supportive roles. That meant dominating my lane then coming to help/roam/engage/peel/tank for my team. And pretty much only that. The only carry I played was Akali and that was like 1 game? Looking back on it though, I had the most guarantee of no throws playing Renekton. So hurrah for crocodiles. <3

I'M JUST HAPPY I GOT MY SILVER BORDER OKAY. DON'T JUDGE PLEASE

Oh how I love pre-season end. Everyone tries their best, no one rages. My favorite time of the season.

Enough with the obvious sarcasm. I guess I won't be getting my Plat border. Gold 2 highest rank for the season. Sadly just as I hit Gold 2 the next 3 games I had the best teammates. Either bot lane giving enough kills to feed a whole continent or a jungler deciding to first pick Master Yi. There is less than a hour until the season ends. Don't forget to wait at least 1 week before starting ranked and doing your placement matches. Good luck to everyone in the upcoming season.

Hm, why a week? :o Or is it not up until then? First season I've been playing so still kinda new to this!

Ended the season on Silver III (after joining in December 2013) so not too bad I guess, but I feel like I could've reached Gold if my last few months of the season weren't occupied with so much university work. Getting to play one ranked game every couple of days isn't enough for a lot of progression :(

What are everyone's ranked goals for next season? I'm hoping for Gold V by Christmas and then hopefully up towards Gold I by the end of the season, but I feel that may be something of a small goal to achieve so we'll see how time progresses.

Smurfs/new players dominate as soon as ranked is up, assuming you're around a Silver level where unranked players get matched at a S5 mmr. I think Silver III could possibly be the same if someone were to get carried through their provisionals or smurf but it's unlikely. So waiting a week would let for all the 'OMG I NEED A RANK' hype train to go by and probably match you with better teammates who aren't frustrated or on tilt from binging one too many ranked games on the soft reset day. =P

I personally want to jump at least one league every season so I'm probably gonna shoot for Gold but anything higher would be pretty amazing considering that I don't have much time to climb/practice with the holidays being an exception. Even then I'll be away in Europe over a few weeks of my summer holidays so I'll have to cram all my practicing in normals of new champs/mastering mechanics before I head back in. XD

I honestly think that I'm missing something mechanic or knowledge-wise since I feel like my gameplay isn't around a G5 level. So yeahhh, maybe G5 by the start of the school year? (almost february) That feels unrealistic but I'll have a lot of time on my hands to climb and improve. ;v;

The new season starts in the begining of January and you got 10 placement matches again. It's better to wait so things sort out. Everyone will be playing, so you could have a team of unranked, bronze, silver and gold. It's good to wait for things to settle down before jumping into ranked again.

I am going to be sad next year to lose flamedyr. I loved playing FLamedyr. I will go back to ADC now lol. I haven't done anything but aram today though. Not really feeling like doing any ranked atm. Waiting for new map to go live now really before i jump into the grind again.
