As it's such a long article, do you have a TL;DR version?

TL;DR - describes ways to win in solo queue that aren't exactly ethical. A lot of mind-games, a lot of strategies you can use to turn a game into your favor. There's not that much tangible strategy, most of it is psychological. An example is saying "Damn, I thought you would kill me for sure" in all chat. Seems like a compliment - it's not, and it can screw up a player's game a lot more often than flaming them can.

I don't like it.

To be honest, even though this can win you games, it's a dirty trick that takes a game that can be fun and turns it into a game that is all about winning and slandering the enemy, even if subtly to throw them off.

Face it, you feel horrible when you feed and you just want to apologize to your whole team, because you hate feeders as much as they hate you.

Making that person feel like they're even worse off than they are is a horrible tool that really represents the bad side of the LoL community. No wonder everyone complains about cruel enemies (or even friends!).

I'm not a fan of this style either. I found myself disagreeing with a lot of what he said.

Your totally right Trojan, your literally playing with the other player's mind.

But I understand what the author of this guide do too, and I accept it.
Just by using chips in his guide showed that he plays poker.
Poker is mostly a Chance, Strategy and EXTREMELY psychological card-game.
You won't win at Poker if you dont play with your opponent's mind.

Annyways, i'll try to read it all first and come with constructive feedback :D!

I'm about halfway through this and so far I have to say, this is a really good read.

A lot of it is basic game play tips that I had to learn the hard way through tons of games and experimentation(example: laning tactics) and some of it is stuff that I've suspected for a long while or just started to suspect (example: chasing mentality).

So far the only section I've found truly distasteful was the "Abusing All-chat" section, though I'm sure I'll find more distasteful sections just by looking at the index (Dealing with Superior Players, Using Allies, and Encouraging Leavers look particularly bad).
