Looking good. Will likely settle around 51% in a few days

I've been thinking lately how.... lux is the only midlane mage who does a stop animation when shielding. Which sometimes feels... like it beats the purpose of wanting to shield yourself, since you will usually be trying to run away from some target

---> Orianna, shields while moving

---> Mel, shields/W while moving

---> Karma, shields while moving

---> Vex, shields while moving

---> Seraphine, shields while moving

and there is more....

Not to mention all of this champs get some extra utility from their defensive spell. Such as mel who gains movement speed, vex who fears, seraphine gains movement speed. Lux on the other hand, sometimes shielding feels more detrimental than beneficial, depending on the matchup.

Is it perhaps this one of the reasons, she can be pretty weak in midlane, compared with her fellow mages? Not a lux main, but I do enjoy ocasional lux gameplay. But it really feels like her shield has very little value, when compared to other defensive tools some mages have. And most of these mages have similar range/CC to lux, but way better self peel.

Please your opinions are welcome.

They removed duoQ from high elo before, as it is against rank integrity. Still keep it in low elo for some reason. Now they have disabled it again, supposedly cause it might have been a contributing factor towards LP inflation and problems. It seems like too many drawbacks, no real benefits from leaving duoQ.

+ Its also one of the prime methods that encourage smurfing ("playing with friends!")

+ Its also one of the prime methods that encourage boosting ("just playing with friends!!")

I would say 90% of the playerbase, hate Duo's.

Also the reason flex isn't even really played.

So is this function even healthy for a ladder that is mostly SOLO?

Opinions?

I was under the impression there is an automatic trolling system that identifies griefing. How is this not insta-ban for the Vladimir trolling? I reported him, so did another person in our team, but nothiing. How do you report this behavior?

Right now everyone is queing up their (primary role) + (midlane)

Most people do this, because it increases the chances of getting your primary role like 9 out of 10 times. So basically, people are not really playing a secondary role anymore. They just play their primary role most of the time, and then get secondary once in a while or autofill.

Problem is - this leads to huge amount of autofilled players, or people playing a "secondary" role they have no idea how to play. Its not uncommon nowdays to see a toplane main just playing champs in mid, not really knowing what to do.

On the other hand... queing up a secondary role such as JG or SUP means... you will get that role like 50% of the time. Almost becoming your primary role.

I believe this is one of the reasons matchmaking seems so random this season. The feature of secondary role, is clearly not working as intended.
