As far as I can tell (from reading lolstatus off and on over the last few hours cos I couldn't access the website) they took the server down because they found the source of EU wests issues.
And haven't been able to fix it since
I'm currently getting connection errors when i try to log in.
Think I've had enough, just gonna play something else.
Edit:
I just remembered, people might want to know, that @lolstatus twitter seems to be deleting a lot of it's tweets. Why I don't know. Playing down the situation or something? Meh, not bothered.0 -

Trying to organise a schedule of pratice we can all adhere too, game is totally different when your in a focused 5man/lady team
Yeah it's something I'd like to try but there doesn't seem to be the structure there to make it easy. Only one or two people I know in real life play LoL. And I don't want to just go into the looking for group chat to find four randomers to make a team that will fall apart after the first loss.
Used to go on 40-man raids in WoW; you'd think it'd be easy enough to get 5 people together

I don't know what the word is to describe the last few days of LoL ranked.
So I've come into S3 with a bit more dedication, a new role, and a real interest in progressing my ability and skill at the game. Last season I got to the dizzy heights of 1500 elo playing mostly as a mid AP, before deterioration kicked in, from having a lack of interest in keeping my game total up.
I've a group of friends that I've been playing games with since WoW, and they all moved onto LoL just under a year ago. And this season they are all trying to push that little harder to play that little more. We have a ranked five team that we think can be relatively successful, and in our respective roles we think we can do ok in the seasons solo queue.
As part of this group, we looked at each others roles and play. We analysed our weakness' and strengths, and let that decide on the role to take. I was pleasantly surprised when it was mentioned I should jungle, and my strengths mentioned. Typically I always have the piss ripped out of me from the lads, but there was some honesty and constructive discussions, and jungling was my new role. I've taken to it well, and was REALLY excited to get going. I horsed in a heapload of games at the end of S2 to get a feel for jungling.
I had dabbled in the jungle in the past, with some moderate success, but hadn't being comfortable with it. But after some dedicated practice, reading and more practice, I'm feeling very VERY comfy in the jungle now.
So along came season three. I'd given myself a pool of three champions.
Amumu
Maokai
Skarner
Amumu was the first character I played in LoL, and I've a longtime attachment with him, he is the character I used when I decided to get better at the game some years ago, and hes just "my champ". However due to him being banned in pretty much every game, I needed backup. I've liked the look of Maokai for some time. He has fast clears, a good ability to defend his jungle while invading others, and his gank potential is extremely strong, especially early game at level 3.
Skarner is a champion that while I don't feel overly comfy with him, I've got really good stats with him. I always seem to do well, and as I put more dedicated time into him I've felt the benefits, but he is definitely my last resort.
So along came Season 3, and my placement. I decided I could take 3 games a night as it was midweek, and got off to a promising start. 3-0 on the first night, and I was convincing in the jungle. Dominated objectives, controlled the buffs and assisted lanes, and they were relatively comfy wins.
The second night wasn't so great, going 0-3, and thisis where I realised the pain in the jungle. Similar to support, jungle is a role that you simply cannot, unless playing at the highest ELO (where it rarely happens anyway) carry a game. While you can get the early ganks, control the objectives, steal buffs, you are entirely reliant on your team being competent, in order to succeed. And this is the problem I'm seeing at the moment.
Friday night and Saturday were difficult days, the sort of days that make you wonder if the game is worth the effort. While players being low skill, its something you can deal with. It's not ideal, but its not something you can go crazy over, we all learn somewhere. But at the same time, I'd a number of critical roles, on my team with the inaapropriate ability, or without the relevant tools ( like runes)
I know things are going to be difficult until ELO settles for everyone, but it is becoming quiet disturbing. I've been taking notes from each game I'm playing. Things I did well, things I did poorly, and what caused the overall result. And there is an ever increasing mention of " team was retarded". I'm typically rather genuine and honest when it comes to my own critique, but at present I sit at 10-15 in ranked, when I should be about 15-10 easily.
One of the games, I went 12-0 from the jungle, owning lanes, giving free farm and owning every objective, total domination. Only for my team to be cluess when it comes to engages, what is a good one, what is a bad one, and focus.
The main issues in ranked at present seem to be
Immaturity.
Selfishness when it comes to role selection
Flaming ( the above three will always be in lol unfortunately)
Inability to recognise the difference between a good and bad engage
Throwing the game if things go anyway negative
Terrible decision making
Inability to close a game out
I'm taking a friends advice and restricting myself to three ranked games a day, as at present I've massed so many games I'm at the point where a win gets me little ELO, where as a loss looses me loads. I'm not overly concerned with my ELO at present, it will be more relevant a month or two away when things settle, but the worry is while I'm at this ELO, the situation will continue where I'm reliant on teams, that simply cant perform
For the record here is my lolking page http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/20238923#history , for my last few games anyway0 -
That's the way of LoL.
For every good game you have, your teammates have 3 bad ones.
Shaco is the worst for this because he's useless late game. You could dominate the first half hour but if your team derps you screwed.
Like yesterday, i went 12-2-10. Only thing was are support had 9 kills leaving the ad carry with only 4. Roll on late game, weak carry and derp initiations from our support with him ending the game 9-16-8. Luckily it was only normal as i want to wait for people to drop below a certain elo before playing
