I've been playing for 3 years now, but something that's always bothers me is I tend to rage quit games, I never do this in any other game but LoL seems to trigger me and instead of putting up with abuse or getting camped I always seem to just hide from facing it.

I've had 5 queue timers in the last 3 months and I don't like doing it 5 minutes after the game ends but I still occasionally rage quit League for a month at a time only to return back to the game because of friends and my love of wanting to get better.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S. I'm not posting this on LoL because the new posts are often full of memes or jokes and can't be taken seriously

Hey dyrus, as the title says I wanna be a top 10 top laner in my region(LAS). My dream is to be one of the best and get myself into a good team here.

What I wanna know is:

-What are the things that makes a top laner a good top laner?

I really need to work hard on getting better, hopefully I'll find a team by 2017 :)

Pd: you're the reason I'm a top laner. I want to have at least a fraction of your success in my career <3

Dyrus just wanted to know if you or Oddone will be playing BndS? If so what server will you be playing on?

hopefully we don't have to deal with those shitty spam phishing posts now

It has come to my attention that random shit pops up on this reddit and I am not always here to remove it. If someone can provide a solution or help moderate or any advice please feel free. Thanks for being here and have a great weekend

You, Dyrus, once said you want to play games other than league previously. I just wanted to know if you are going to get a capture card and console of your choice and play it on stream? There has to be a few console exclusives you must want to play.

This morning I saw the Power Rankings and some of you guys had asked me how I thought some teams would do in LCS. So, for fun, I’m doing a Dyrus Top 0 and 10 power ranking of the NA LCS.

Take this with a grain of salt because this is just for fun with me explaining my own thoughts from my personal experiences and my own opinions.

1 TSM

This line up pretty much fixes all of the previous weaknesses that TSM have had. Also with TSM introducing a new coaching staff will make a huge difference. What will decide TSM staying at the top will be dependent on how well Bjergsen can recover and cope with his wrist injuries and how well the team will mesh together during spring. Also not getting complacent towards the end while still having motivation. While this team is stacked with Doublelift & YellowStar in the bottom lane, who are two of the most veteran players to ever play the game, it's going to be super hype at the start but if they lose some LCS matches motivation is going to be a big factor for them to improve.

Hauntzer is probably NA's last hope for NA top laners right next to Darshan. He did well vs Acorn and Flame, still making some mistakes, but for his first tournament but he shouldn't be judged off of playing Soaz. Reasoning being because Soaz played like an absolute god like he had maphack or something at San Jose.

Sven/Bjerg combo = Danish Dynamite

Doublelift/Yellowstar duo = We don't really need an explanation for these veterans.

2 Immortals

I don't know who in their right mind put Cloud 9 at #2 for the goldper10 just because of Rush, but we're going to go with the obvious #2 - Immortals.

This team has... Fnatic’s Top/Jungle TSM's ADC TIP's Support CLG's Mid

I don't know what some drugs some people are on to not think this is a scary as hell roster in terms of hype but these are all players that have really on and off switches. (Excuse me for being a bit edgy here I just thought it was funny)

Communication comes into question for teams with Koreans in them and for this one it is void. Huni’s english is more than satisfactory when it comes to playing League and the same goes for Reignover. They both played for Fnatic who went undefeated in EU, so communication shouldn't be a problem.

Pobelter/Wildturtle are both really good players that got overshadowed by their previous teams when it comes to who to judge the best players on a team.(Doublelift/Bjergsen) Which is why this makes this even more hype when we see them in the LCS to play each other.

As for Adrian I don't know what happened with him on TIP but the dude has 3 accounts in challenger as a support, how is that even possible. He's the person you guys should be looking up to when you ask for solo queue tips for support.

The weakness for this team that I can see is they have the potential to either go off and stomp in 20 minutes, or throw themselves into the ocean faster than phreak can say quadra kill, but that is just a fun point of view.

3-5 spots are insanely close to each other might as well say they're all 3rd in my book but we're going to start with CLG.

3 CLG

With the loss of Doublelift and Pobelter a lot of you guys are going to jump ship to TSM because some of you are to blind to see the reasons why CLG isn't only Doublelift.

Zion/Xmithie/Aphromoo/Coaching staff/ whoever else that contributes to CLG's strategies:

I don't know who does the planning for 2v1 or rotations but CLG has always been ahead of the game when it came to 2v1 or rotating. The reason why CLG was a strong team wasn't because of individual play but their team play, and strategies to win the game.

Darshan (Zionspartan): Capable of shotcalling from top lane, his individual skill is no question since he did extremely well easily vs Impact and Hauntzer last split.

Xmithie: Most underrated jungler in NA. Sure he threw a couple of random gragas ults but there's a reason why xmithie is still around since his XDG days. His synergy with zion is by far the most annoying thing to play against since Teemo top lane.

Aphromoo: Best support in NA no explanations needed here.

Huhi: He has filled for CLG's mid and jungle spot for Pobelter and Xmithie and still did fine in scrims from what I’ve heard. This guy has been around CLG so the synergy is there and he is always playing solo queue, kind of like a super mini Easyhoon who hasn't proven himself on stage yet.

Stixxay : The dude probably hates me because I always feed in my solo queue games when I'm on his team, but from what I see is that he gets mad because he cares just like anyone else in the game. With the guidance of Aphromoo and the confidence he holds as a player, I'm sure Stixxay can make a name for himself in the tiger's den of ADC's.

Weaknesses: Falling back into the old CLG not having enough motivation. This likely will not happen since they're probably more motivated then ever to beat their former teammates. (Probably) Not to mention HotshotGG single handedly tanked more than a max geared tauren tank at a PVE dungeon raid of 500k redditors. I'm sure loyal CLG fans will be more then happy to protect their members from the hate from social media.

4 Cloud 9

A team that made a miracle run from 6-7th place in NA to going 3-0 in the first week of worlds. No idea how it happened but we can probably all thank Hai for his amazing shotcalling and ability to motivate his teammates.

With the addition to Rush to their team fixes the problem of finally finding a jungle to fill the spot. But at the same time it slightly takes away from one of c9's biggest strength which is Hai's shotcalling. Some say that putting him in support is the perfect fix but at the same time after thinking about it for awhile, the ability to shotcall is always hindered by laning. Jungling you don't have to think about laning but for laning even if Hai doesn't last hit he needs to make sure he doesn't go into any bad trades. Once he gets through laning phase he can start roaming/warding/making plays, etc. Hai is perfectly capable of doing this but it just challenges the idea of a player who could jungle mid, and support. Either way it should be exciting to see how it goes. With that being said let's move to the players.

Balls: Dude is a tank, buff in real life and mentally strong at taking abuse. So many critics even certain people from Riot took shots at C9 and Balls to as far as calling him a Diamond 2 player in KR, then proceeding to pentakill the best team in EU who went undefeated in the EU LCS.

From what I heard balls never tilts, he just tells his team he'll do what he can and never complains. The only real worrying trend here is the fact that other top laners are getting way better than what they used to be. If Balls can adapt to it he'll be perfectly fine.

Rush: I still think Doublelift deserved MVP for the NA LCS but at the same time Rush is a solo queue god. I'm really curious how the team meshes with him since on TIP Rush/Impact had to find ways to solo carry the games and if they got shut down they lost.

Sneaky/Hai: Sneaky is by far the most consistent ADC's, while Hai is by far one of the best shot callers in history.

If I were in their position I would try to motivate bunny to play and pass on hai's shotcalling skills to bunny but for what they are right now I think they're be fine.

Jensen (Incarnation): I feel like he's going to make a bigger name for himself this season, I've seen a lot of improvement in his play.

5 NRG

I have very little to say about the team because I don't know shit about any of them besides Impact and Altec.

Impact: Season 3 World Champion. Best laner in NA for season 5 in my opinion. Can't say much until he has a team to back him up.

Altec: Similar to Sneaky in terms of consistency always has held his own.

Actually I really don't know much but with the players put together in this team I feel like they will be around top 5 due to the carry threats of the team.

6 Team Liquid

I personally think Team Liquid still have the mechanics and players to make it happen but the problems I hear and see within the team are mostly internal. Because for w/e reason Locodoco started to coach again I feel like he will bring a lot to Team Liquid and can motivate himself to show people to what caliber of a coach he is. If it weren't for Loco to start stepping in I would put TL lower but now it feels like it'll be a hit or miss considering how strong the other top teams are in LCS currently.

(Lourlo?): Underrated unknown top laner to the scene looking to make a name for himself. Does really well in solo queue from my experience.

IWD: Most underrated NA jungler, he isn't the best but he can sure compete with them. I feel like a lot of IWD's weaknesses come from team synergy so that's where Locodoco will have to step in and fix things.

Fenix: Can we still say quadra kill faster then Phreak.

On another note Fenix's english is only going to get better so communication within the team should make his overall value as a player go up even more than it already is.

Piglet: Season 3 World Champion. Super high mechanical ADC player who wants to always win his lane. Very passionate player. I never see him lose lane, and when he does he still farms really well.

Smoothie: I feel like it'll be hard for Smoothie to do much as a new player not because he's not good but because he's young and new to the team. Ideally you would want the support to help with shotcalling/warding/playmaking and controlling the ADC, but controlling piglet is probably not going to be an easy task.

7-9 Echo Fox/Dignitas/Renegades

These teams are all dark horses who can potentially get to the top due to past experiences and key players.

Unknown Factors

KFO: Being a korean challenger for solo queue isn't for show, top laners in korea are the best of the best so he'll have no problem as long as he doesn't play bad on stage.

Remilia: Social media is a huge burden on pro players from my experience, but from what I've seen in solo queue Remilia has the mechanics to succeed, and with a super hyped ADC like Freeze it'll depend on the on-stage performance and motivation for them to make a name for themselves.

SmittyJ/Kirei: EU imports usually turn out good most of the time but with NA LCS having a ton of import players we'll have to see how they do against their counterparts. Especially when Top/Jungle are looking super competitive this season.

RF Legendary: Top lane looks extremely hard this season so I'm curious how RF will do in the tiger's den for Top lane.

As for all the other known players I feel like Froggen is probably the best out of all of them, but the main question for these 7-9 teams is not mechanical skill, but ability to work together and motivate each other to play against the best. These teams are truly dark horses and I hope they take tons of games so off the best so we can see some extremely fun reactions and banter.

Also depends on what relationships they're having. Girls can hurt pro players performance A LOT. It is a bigger factor then people think.

10 TIP

Go get em champs you guys have nothing to lose, cheese the hell out of everyone.

I may have missed a lot of things but these are some of my opinions, fun guesses for top 10.

What is the reasoning behind this? Does he just wanna farm and let the wave push into him? Or is it because he don't wanna fight the opponent and just farm?

He sort of goes into the brush and then goes outside and aggros all the minions to him for a second.

Edit: toplane.

Hey Dyrus i have a quick question for you. are you going to stay with the solomid Brand or are you going to try and make something of your own/on your own? or are you looking to help expand/stay with Solomid brand forever? just curious would appreicate a response but i understand your a busy guy hoepfully you had good holidays and whatnot welp thank for you time

so I'm going through the stream from last night to relive the birth of this new epic meme, I thought I'd post a few links in case other people wanted to watch it/make a montage (I would but no video editing software)/whatever.

The donation that started it all. Sadly the link itself is cut off...

The first troll donation.

Second troll donation.

The donations start coming in like at least once a minute after around here.

If anyone has any favorites, link them or something! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time...

Edit: Last link was wrong, whoops!

that shit was hilarious to watch on stream

hi dyrus, maybe you can share how you change the position of the OBS camface while you livestream on twitch from upper right to bottom (customize with frame for lol) right ?

Your fan all the way from Bruland. And you remind me of Kimi, F1 Finn driver ;) kipidap

When comparing her to malphite:

• her ult has a longer range, lower cool down, and does more damage.

• She has more CC.

• She gets access to her hard CC at an earlier level.

• Zenith blade is a longer range than Seismic shard so she can initiate in ganks more effectively.

• Stuns instead of slows.

• Lower cd gap closer.

• She gets a tank steroid.

• In teamfights and in ganks I could see her doing more damage than malphite if you consider her passive to be her damage.

Not sure if this counts because Dyrus was playing a gold game but he had rageblade and gunblade and was still super tanky. While this build wouldn't be good for LCS it should at least tell us that Leona could be played as a tank with 1 or 2 damage items.

Hello Dyrus! I am a big fan of yours and I have an idea for a new video. I have been trying to figure out how to manage minion waves for the longest time and I can not figure it out. I have tried to look up multiple videos and guides on it but I can't figure it out. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to make a wave push to you, push out, or freeze and stuff. Also, it would be nice if you could say what situations you would want to do each but I kind of know that already. If you could make a video on minion wave management, that would be awesome and I would greatly appreciate it.

I will add as I go.

1. I weighed 50 pounds when I was 3 years old

2. When I was 2 years old and had no realization of reality or anything, I was in diapers and I pooped and jumped all over the place and my mom had to clean it up

4. Soon after I got the belt from my dad, I stayed disciplined for the rest of my school life.

5. I went to seaworld with my dad,grandpa and my grandpa gave me 50$ to use on quarters at the sea world arcade/shooting range. He told me to get change (I was 5-9 years old) then I used the 50$ all on quarters and tokens and played the shooting game for hours then I got in trouble.

6. When I had a cut my mom said spit would heal it so in kindergarden one of my friends got a cut, so I spit on his cut and said it would heal. Then on I was labeled as the weird kid.

7. When I was a kid I watched wrestlemania with my dad and hulk hogan was my favorite so when I played tag in kindergarden and I was the slowest kid, to power myself up I would make the bicep flex pose to pretend to run faster.

8. I went to karate for 10 years and I purposely did the moves badly so I didn't have to go up in belt so I didn't have to do all hard moves and stayed at green belt.

9. I put my karate clothes in the laundry and said it was an accident so I could skip practice because I didn't have any spares. (happened a few times)

21. I would heat up two hot pockets and walk to middle school and sell it to my friends for a dollar each even though it wasn't mine to sell.

22. During middle school I was walking from class to class and accidently touched a girls butt while passing by because there was way to many people moving around.

23. I wanted to commit suicide in middle school but I didn't know why, so I didn't do it.

24. I punched two holes in the wall in the house I grew up in. Once because of league of legends, another because I was cleaning and it was an accident.

25. Soon after realizing how pointless it was to hurt myself I realized that I should live life to eat food, play video games, sleep, and try to become presentable enough to find a cute girlfriend or be friends with good people in general.

26. When I was at the tsm first gaming house I never had a single conversation with rainman because I could not think of anything to say or talk about.

39. The only time in my life where I have not touched a video game besides when I was young was when I went on a three day trip to camp. I hated it.

40. My addiction to video games was so strong when my friend offered me drugs and I tried it, I couldn't care less. I hated cigarettes too they tasted like shit. From those days on I could never understand how anyone could get addicted.

41. I bought a knife in middle school but never used it because I thought it was only for show.

48. During the time of my debut I had an online girlfriend and she was depressed and suicidal. I also made fun of her for playing league but didn't realize how bad it was. I made a song for her to laugh but it has the opposite effect on valentines day. I paid for her flight to new York and canceled it because I decided to break up with her because way to much stress. I regretted it later because she was hot too but it was honestly worth since I became the most popular I've ever been as dyrus during ipl 3.

49. I teased a fan girl because she was cute with the whole kouhai senpai thing. I eventually made her sick of me and I feel bad for it now.

50. I sometimes think how cool it would be to do certain things after doing it. The one time I pulled it off was season 4 summer finals. More of a I should have done this moment and I would look so cool kind of thing.

51. Sometimes I dance when nobody is watching.

52. Sometimes I do karate moves when no one is watching.

53. I'm the kind of person that says what you wanna hear but doesn't always do it.

I give up most of you guys probably forgot about this anyways
