Some girl I met a few months ago and never spoke to since randomly added me on FB earlier and started flirting with me and asking if I'm going to this festival this weekend. I told her I wasn't sure if I was going, and I just realized that means that if I do go, which I was considering doing anyway, it's going to seem like I'm going because I'm into her when I'm not.
Not true. Let the women make all the assumptions, 'cause they already throw them around everywhere.
If you want to go, then go.
If you don't want to hook up with this chick, be cool about it and tell her if she comes on to you. No harm, no foul, funs to be had.

This is actually quite funny.
The first troll was an

The second said he was in his promo's to Diamond and wanted some mindless fun.
The third claimed to be Gold.
From games with trolls and feeders, I gather the main problem are the ones in gold and plat that smurf and ruin games. O_O

I also just realized Friday, the first day of the festival, is Valentine's Day. Now I'm going to feel mean as **** if I do go but have to reject her. ;_;

Are you kidding me. Gold 5 to gold 3 is the definition of Elo Hell, and Plat 5 is a bloody mesh of Gragas with teleport barrier who max W and Season 3 Diamond Lee Sin mainers

Pretty much anything below diamond I/challenger it seems LOL
I have friends in diamond III and II that say it only gets slightly better. Motivates you so much
Not true in my case. I play with a player whose skill level is identical to mine, apart from the fact that I specialize in supportive roles and long ranged mages while he specializes in ad carries and more mechanically demanding mages like leblanc. We've climbed from silver IV to gold IV in about 100 games together while we couldn't get out alone.
We got matched vs higher skilled players while duoing due to the automatically higher mmr which helped us improve as players. Another thing to note is that we had an active vc while playing which lead to us being able to make plays and decisions together which the rest of the team usually followed up on. This wouldn't have been the case if I said that alone and nobody was there to back me up. It also helps to know you have at least one player that is guaranteed to at least get an even lane as opposed to losing.
While duoing, you tend to be able to give criticism more freely due to experiencing the circumstances of the game your self. This type of constructive criticism is often much easier to implement in your way of playing and due to the friendly manner of speaking nobody gets offended by it, as opposed to providing criticism to a solo q player.
That's just my experience though :p
