Ignore him he's just a liberal

Ignoring viewpoints in opposition to your own, no matter how poorly expressed they might be, is never productive for anyone

You've probably already found this but in the off chance that you haven't tried the steps here, take a look. I upgraded and I'm not having any issues.

I won't pretend that we're a super intelligent community that only values discussions of worthy substance, but even though this is pretty obvious
Whenever you're gonna post something, just take a moment to consider whether or not people are going to find it worth their time. Not a big deal if nobody's interested, but doing it too often tends to aggravate people.
But anyhow, welcome! Enjoy your stay.

Hyper Light Drifter, League of Legends, Overwatch, Starbound, Cubeworld
Hyper Light Drifter is a beautiful game with a beautiful soundtrack and great story and enough content to keep you going for a while
League of Legends is something you can get better at, and regardless of all the terrible and angry people on it, it's still pretty nice to work together with a team like that
Overwatch is like League but with less/more easily ignored toxicity. I don't really play shooters but I'm getting better
Starbound I like a lot. I dunno why, it's just nice. Space, building, aliens, exploring, mining, whatever.
Cubeworld is really pretty and really simple and great for exploring casually, but also for relatively challenging boss fights with the option of multiplayer.

If I were you I'd just do what they say and wait. Refunding and repurchasing might mess it up, and whatever small amount of time you have to wait to play these games is probably not worth saving.

But yeah splitting as JG is not usually a great idea unless your team is really far ahead or you're like above plat, which like nobody here except kojo was or is. I say this just because I'm in Plat 4 and still regularly have trouble because somebody splits without TP and then the rest of the team gets caught or engages.
It can work, but even if your team knows not to engage, they can still get engaged on, often even if they're positioning carefully. If the opposing team has, say, Ashe, Sejuani, Malphite, or Karma + like any tanks, they will eventually catch someone and there's little you can do about it. The attacking team in a 5v4 will have a significant advantage and if they win decisively and quickly then they can just send 1-2 people back to deal with the splitter while they finish fighting or take objectives.

How long have you been doing it? It can take a long time to make a significant amount of progress, and it's easier with lessons.
You can still do it without lessons but plad has a good point on goals.

Complaining about it and generalizing people doesn't help.
Nor does referencing the past.

Certainly there are a lot of people who flock to social justice and queerness as a means to feel self-righteous and to cast themselves as plucky rebels but if you just avoid liberal arts college campuses and some small portion of Tumblr then you'll probably do fine by just respecting people and their identities. If you don't talk about someone you don't even have to worry about pronouns.

Also it's good to make a distinction between biological love and gender, because while they are by default the same, when they differ it's generally obvious and easy to remember.
If you're searching for people who actively make asses out of themselves over gender then you will find them, but they won't come and kill you because you can't remember their pronouns. Most of your problems can be solved by just not associating with idiots.

Off Topic / Re: 2016 USA Presidential Race News & Discussion: OBAMA ENDORSES HILLARY (NEW POLL)

« on: June 22, 2016, 02:59:57 PM »

I don't want Annoying Orange or Hillary in office. Of the two, I think that I would object less to Hillary's policies.
However, if Hillary is elected, the issue of Annoying Orange is not resolved. If he decides to run again, he will likely enjoy the same popularity, if not more. Generally, after three terms of one political party, it's unlikely that the next president will be a democrat, and it's even more unlikely that the democratic candidate won't be Hillary because a candidate has to run against the incumbent and that isn't easy.
If Annoying Orange wins, I'm confident that a lot of bad things will happen. However, that'll be out of the way. It still weakens the possibility of having a candidate like Bernie, as they're both pretty anti-establishment, and after Annoying Orange I'm pretty sure the US is going to want to return to the usual, but still he's so right-wing that the left will necessarily have a resurgence after one or two terms.
Also I think Annoying Orange has a greater chance of getting impeached because of all the crazy stuff he does.
But I also don't want to vote for Annoying Orange because I'd feel like an starfish. It's just that if Annoying Orange doesn't win the political climate that nurtured his success isn't going to dissipate. It's just going to worsen.
