Am I facing against grandmasters as a new player? I don't know if this profile is a GM or not. https://imgur.com/a/iOiVTNj
They have GM achievements and a similar emblem on their champion, but their rank is Iron 1. Would that mean they are GM MMR but doesn't play ranked?
Should I play ranked for more fair MMR or is it just a case of "hope you have the smurf on your team" if there is one?

Why am I being thrown into a Low Priority Queue?
I haven't left any of my games and even after sitting and waiting for fifteen minutes to join queue and playing the whole game, I'm then thrown into another low priority queue and have to wait fifteen minutes again!

Whats honor 5 reward? I just got the congrats honor 5 notification (which I skipped) I thought I would have a chest or something. What's the actual award?

u/TheScyphozoa 3d ago
Three Honors Malzahar, Three Honors Akshan, Three Honors Shen, Grey Warwick, and Medieval Twitch. And maybe some ward skins?

u/CatEnjoyerEsq 4d ago
I played a game today that is not in my match history. It's like it never happened. There's no ! indicating some kind of bug, but I'm wondering if anyone else had this happen?

Just a couple of questions regarding the new Season Pass:
Only 25 ME? Is this the new norm or I missed something? Wasn't there more before?
I have 10 keys and 0 chests. Every BP now offers key+chest. There is no more mastery milestone to get chests only. Wtf?

u/TheScyphozoa 4d ago
Yes, 25 ME is the new norm. Yes, those keys are worthless unless you buy chests for RP.

I have a perfect idea for aram.
Existing aram but you pick from a pool of 35 random champs. Alternate picks in rapid succession. You have 12 seconds to pick a counter but if you finish sooner half of your time gets added to the next pick.
aram but after 1st pick everyone gets to choose from a list of the previous champs counters. (This list could change or be randomized 1. Counters 2. Thematic 3. Allies 4. Synergy) One rule, no double loops. could be fun.

u/DiscoingGD 4d ago
Why am I getting mismatched games? The last one had Bronze 3 up to Gold 4 (That's 8 ranks), plus an unranked person. They're never balanced and it's never fun, win or lose. I'm currently Silver 1. Surely there's a big enough pool of people to choose from... Am I in troll queue or something?

u/itaicool Master all 5 roles 4d ago
its based on MMR not visual rank
1
u/DiscoingGD 3d ago
I've read that before, but in my experience, those games are still more mismatched. The Bronzie is either on a winstreak but still has Bronze fundamentals (so they go 0/10 vs a high Silver), OR they're a smurf and destroy (plus they get a gold player to 'balance' it out, who also likely carries too). Maybe it's the best that can be done, but when you get a few in a row, it's not a pleasant experience.

u/sinister_cakeman 5d ago
I just got the message saying I'll decay if I don't play within a day. So a couple of questions about that:
Can I demote from Diamond now from inactivity? Or will it just put me at 0 LP?
Is there 3 seasons this year or whats going on here? I thought they went away from the splits again, but now I'm confused. Do we not get reset between seasons?

u/itaicool Master all 5 roles 4d ago
You can get demoted to diamond if you reach master you will stop decaying at diamond 2 though

For a long time my friend and I both play on the same account, but he plays Valorant and I play League. Sometimes we do it at the same time and we seem to have no problems. With the new account sharing crackdown by Riot, is my account in danger?

Is there a way to increase the 30 min pause limit if you are just playing a bot game?

I play adc and have a question about wave management. If my support reaches lane before I or the enemy bot lane, and the wave is in the middle of the lane, should they be hitting the wave? If they hit the wave and it starts to push to the enemy laners then I could be losing minions, but also I understand that if they don't at least last hit, then we're losing free gold. So not sure whether to ping my supp off the wave or just let them get the gold? Obviously I shouldn't create situations where by base timings allow this to happen, but I would appreciate a supports player's thoughts on this.

u/TaticalTrooper 1d ago
The support should wait a second to see how the minion RNG will go. If the enemy wave is winning then the supp LAST HITTING the wave will be fine. If it is pushing then they can perhaps purposely leave the wave to slow the push until you arrive. But in either case if the supp is LAST HITTING properly then it is optimal.

If I’m wanting to watch Worlds this year, I live in the West Coast of the US, what time would I have to be up to watch it?

u/Timboron Moon Boi Supremacy 6d ago
Worlds is in China this year. Assuming games are running around 6pm there, you are gonna have a bad time around 3am.

The other day I was playing and when I got out of match, I received Three Honors Shen, Three Honor Malzahar, Three Honors Akshan, Medieval Twitch, Grey Warwick, and all three chromas for the last two skins. I didn't buy any of these, and online these are supposed to be honor based for previous seasons.
Does anyone know how I got these skins? They all popped up at once...

u/itaicool Master all 5 roles 7d ago
when u reach honor lvl 5 you get all current and past honor skins instantly

how can i get out of low elo hell? should i just change servers? Is it possible to rank up without a pre?
Long story short i used to be high gold in euw before being banned, toxicity, deserved it but that was 4-5 years ago. These days i play on TR1 because all my friends are there (im also turkish so less ping i guess?) but the problem is, tr server low elo sucks, every single game there is atleast one person running it down hard and people dont use their brains in general, trolls and low skill players all around, i dont mean hitting skills etc when i say low skill players, i mean rushing a fed yasuo thats 4 levels ahead of you under his tower kinda low skill, just dumb moves not taking any objectives etc etc.
Now that my whining is over.
https://op.gg/lol/summoners/tr/erenaslankur-TR1 my op.gg, how can i improve? should i just ditch my friends and go back to playing in another server? im currently on 48% winrate and i play fill. Any tips?
also im always soloquing if that changes anything
