You have to play against the AI logic..... which I have done a shitload of. The AI are better than they were a year ago when I was playing them exclusively, and they are obviously cheating mother fuckers now, but they can still be tricked because it is still a computer program running them. Last night in the Level 2 game with Cake, I personally, solo, destroyed 4 turrets and 2 inhibitors while the rest of my team had the AI team tied up elsewhere. I don't want to say I won the game, but I won the game.

On lolnexus.com, when you look at your game, it gives you a link to click to join your team in curse voice. Never did it thought. The game I just played, two people had channels setup and were telling people to connect. So I dl'ed it real quick and joined. WOW. What a difference voice makes in a game! 3 of us were in it. The other team's players were WAY better than us. Owning us early to mid game. But once team fights started, targets were called, attacks were planned, etc. We ended up winning. Now, it wasn't 'all us baby', because our carry, who was not in the channel, did really well. But, the three of us were able to peel, time our CC, etc. Made a huge difference. There was no client setup, and when I launched it, it automatically connected me to their channel. It builds a temp channel and sends you to it based on your game ID and stuff. It was pretty cool.
I didn't do real well that game either. Had twice as many deaths as kills. However, I had solid initiates. My death would often result in 2+ kills on my team. But there were times where I would just get owned and die. Bottom line, I wasn't playing very well. Then there was GP, who also wasn't playing very well. And they were vocally trashing him and in game talking about him. He was doing really dumb stuff. But not THAT much dumber than me. So, being in the 'voice club' afforded me some protection, it seems. It's probably the fact that trashing someone over the Internet is easy. But doing it via voice is probably a little harder.
These would be more fun if they'd go with actual counters or even stuck to their own lore.
For example, where was Kha'Zix in this video? And not having Teemo show up to defeat Darius is criminal.

Riot is taking a firm stance on banning toxic players. I'd be careful calling anyone a "homo" or "fag" anymore, that might get you an instant 14 day ban. Pretty good to see they are being proactive, how much it helps will remain to be seen but its a step in the right direction.
Here is the post i saw it in:
Today is the start of tests where we'll be using a new machine learning approach + Player Support manual reviews to target extreme cases of toxicity (such as intentional feeding, racism, death threats, homophobia, etc) and handing out pretty severe penalties such as 14-day or permanent bans. Players that get permanent bans will see a ban code of 2500 during these tests.
We'll be testing 1 server at a time in small doses to monitor the effectiveness of the system carefully and minimize false positives. All Riot regions will get the same test at some point in the future. Depending on the results of the tests, we'll be rolling this system out more permanently on all servers.
In the past, we've avoided publicly naming and shaming players; however, we've learned in recent months that being transparent is extremely critical to the playerbase's trust in our systems, so we've decided to do a compromise. If players complain about unfair bans for this particular system (so, have a ban year code of 2500), we're going to be fully transparent and posting the chat logs that resulted in the ban.
Some players have also asked why we've taken such an aggressive stance when we've been focused on reform; well, the key here is that for most players, reform approaches are quite effective. But, for a number of players, reform attempts have been very unsuccessful which forces us to remove some of these players from League entirely.
In addition, we'll be talking about this effort in more detail and about another system that will be addressing Leavers/AFKs very severely in the future. We'll do these in the usual channels like the League forums. I just wanted to mention this briefly on Twitter today in case some players were confused why they see some players getting banned until 2500 year codes.

I could watch Zyra do her thing in that vid, but I think I would quickly lose interest. Then about ten minutes later I would be interested again....Leisher wrote:These would be more fun if they'd go with actual counters or even stuck to their own lore.
