Monday Megathread! Ask questions and share knowledge; newcomer questions encouraged!

Posted: 06 May 2018 07:36 PM PDT

Welcome to the latest Monday Megathread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge.

This is an opportunity for the more experienced LoL players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

Patch 8.11 Early Look

NA summer finals in Oakland

PSA : If you're about to use a Gemstone to unlock a chest and key, wait until 8.10 to get a Masterwork chest and key instead.

Posted: 07 May 2018 07:21 AM PDT

Loot from Gemstones is decided from the moment you open them so you can just wait if you have some available to avoid getting champion shards.

15 and 20 minutes are way too long for surrender votes in ARAM

Posted: 07 May 2018 01:19 AM PDT

So ARAM is really fun and a chill alternative to play league when you're tilted. But as most of us know, it really blows to play certain matchups like playing 4-5 melees against Veigar, Ziggs or playing some assassins or duelists that aren't designed to 5v5 in general etc and having to afk under turret waiting for the game to end. However, we're ok with it, what is not ok is having to wait 15 mins for a 5-man surrender vote and 20 mins for 4-man one, knowing that the game time average is around 20-22min IIRC. It doesn't really make sense to me. From my own experience playing ARAM , i suggest that the 5-man surrender vote should be at 8 mins (for extreme situations) and the 4-man at 12 mins IMO to reduce the frustration that come out of some games. Also, as a bonus Riot refuse to add remake to ARAM for some reason which make it the more frustrating in 4v5 situations.

LPT: If someone flames you the whole game and then sends you a friend inv only to flame you more here's what you do.

Posted: 06 May 2018 08:55 PM PDT

Wait about 15-20 mins till you accept. They're already tilted so obviously they're gonna queue again. When they're in-game they're gonna be busy doing in-game stuff. So it's time to unleash the Spam. I just had a blast for about 10 min with the guy ending up sending a "DELETE ME" :')

Hf with this new tactic to petty revenge.

PS: It's even more rewarding to send stuff like. Hi champion from last game do you want to be my friend?

5/7 PBE Update: Pulsefire Splash Art, Leveling Reward Emotes & More

3v3 could use some love

Posted: 07 May 2018 05:39 AM PDT

I'm one of those 'only play 3v3 players' for numerous reasons. I think the main advantage of 3v3 is that's it's a lot simpler/easier to follow. While in 5V5 you have 10 champions to track/know, wards & buffs to track, 3v3 only has 6 and no wards and only 1 buff.

This is a big advantage for players like me who just have less time to follow the scene/meta due to work/growing up.

Another fun point for me is it's more reliant on 1v1 skill. Instead of getting ganked or having a 5 man bot lane party it's more 1v1 and 0 buffs to boost your opponent. It's you vs him, most of the time.

That being said here's what I would like to see for 3v3 in 2018;

  • Create altar timers. Altars are kind of a big part of this mode and I really like the concept. Timing them could be a bit better

  • Mastery Level 6 & 7 aren't possible on 3v3 for some reason. Please change this. There's no valid reason not to have it

  • Nerf minion XP when you pick smite. This will prevent the super stale jungler/support meta. Simple change but will do loads for this mode.

  • Bring back the chatroom for 3v3, makes it easier to find queue partners!

Thanks for reading & see you on the Treeline!

Why does the alternative view of the Rune Page always switch back to the default one after one game?

Posted: 07 May 2018 03:20 AM PDT

I prefer the alternative view over the default one as the default one is clunky and buggy (e.g. it changes the wrong rune, not the one on which you clicked in the default view).

I feel like Riot stopped developing/optimizing the new client and it really shows with all the occasional complaints. I mean compared to the old one it looks nicer, yes, but it really is unpractical.

Edit: It also resets the detailed view of runes, why is that not even on default?

Why is Warwick not disabled? Has Riot said anything about it yet?

Posted: 06 May 2018 08:03 PM PDT

How is an already strong jungler allowed to be played with as ridiculous a bug as his ult being completely unstoppable? For those that don't know, WW ult is SUPPOSED to be unstoppable during his dash, then interruptible during the actual attack, but currently it is bugged to be unstoppable during ITS ENTIRE DURATION. Like, how is this seen as okay to exist and not just be disabled while they work on a fix?
