I like going ROA.frozen>sunfire>visage.
a W>Q combo allows me to hurt any adc and then just ult . enemies tend to start popping summoners after that and my team cleans up.
due to his nerfs I am going to start rushing sunfire>frozenheart.

Another unranked , just for the love of god Riot needs to make a unranked playlist for all unranked in any ranked playlist, Getting paired with a person who dont know how to even build their champ should not be happening in ranked after placements.
The guy had like 6 games in ranked all loses, all different champs

Something something ADC
Reading Meddler's current thoughts on ADC solidified my salt. Fuck bot lane forever.

Actual tanks can kill each other
Top lane right now is best described by a Keijo gif but if I posted one of those the anti-lewd brigade would skin me alive.

Thank you both. I'll try to have fun and focus on one role for now.
Yesterday ARAMs showed me how Zed and Lee Sin are difficult to play with.

Why the hell do I keep getting Shacos that do nothing all game
Yeah, champions that have mechanics such as Zed's shadows, Azir's soldiers, Orianna's ball and so on are kind of hard to start with because it takes a lot more game knowledge and skill to use them properly than "click on person to nuke them" that some other champions have.
As far as easy-to-use champions go, I'd probably reccomend Malzahar and Annie as mages (since their moveset is based around point & click skills), Malphite as a tank (easy to land ultimate that can turn fights around), and Garen as a tank/fighter (mostly because he doesn't use mana, so you can get accustomed to ability cooldowns without having to worry about mana magagement). You could try skillshot-based champions (Lux, Ahri, Blitzcrank, Morgana), but they tend to suck if you can't land those abilities (especially Blitz).
Be sure to try whatever's on free rotation against bots, because you might find a champ you actually like by experimenting like that, and you won't get flamed since you won't be playing human opponents, anyway. Agin, only use bot games to look for champions with abilities that you like, since their actual viability in PvP will differ a lot.

warming up to buy that new skin, breh.
The best part? There's like a 90% chance that the next team will pick a Shaco and carry the fuck out of the game.

Is Champion.ogg a pretty reliable site? I've been using it when trying out new champions to get a solid idea of what people are building...but this Cassiopeia build is the first I've seen that I've been suspicious of. Morellonomicon, then Rylai, then
Archangel staff as first 3 items...?

Personally, I'm a fan of this gif to represent top:
That's a good build. You go tear > Morello > Rylais/Abyssal/Zhonyas > Archangels Staff. Rylais isn't core anymore since the nerf, but it's still an ok item on Cass.
Personally, I'm a fan of this gif to represent top:
This fits my latest game perfectly: I was doing badly against a Darius as Yorick and one time he dove me and got the kill, but then Lee Sin flew out of nowhere and ganked him. Then he kept visiting top every now and then, which allowed me to turn things around and start taking objectives and generally being a pain in the ass while Darius was relegated to doing practically nothing later on.

champion.gg and those sites only show completed items, no components... that's a good build if you remember you're stacking tear the whole time you're building everything else

Ahhhh. Thank you. That is what was throwing me off--the fact that tear was coming so late in the build. I wasn't sure how it represented individual components. Much appreciated.
Mid lane:
yes i very much can relate to this

How was your performance your jungler's fault?
You had the least amount of deaths, most kills, most damage, and your team had a gold lead for the last ten minutes. I didn't spectate it or anything, but it looks like you guys just slipped up as a team at the end and long death timers is what caused you to lose. You/Fallen even had a fed late game GP with a Lux to back him up.
Of course it wasn't all Camille's fault, Lux shares an equal or greater amount of blame.
But both of them played like animals.
Also, there's a difference between keeping your team in the game from a deficit than just "slipping up".
They had a Lucian?

lol they won and chat log makes it seem like they were raging at each other. 
The nerf is real

The gold advantage started to favor Newt/Fallen's team towards the end, so it looks like the team that won started to flame one another for making dumb mistakes. My favorite part of situations like that is when that kind of bickering spills over to /all, because when teams do that, they're basically saying "HEY, WE'RE STARTING TO TILT."
sadly this is too true for the current state of the game

The most BM skin for the most BM champion
Permanent it is
I won though.
Though I agree, Janna could use a nice gutting. Maybe increase the cooldown on E.
Yeah, let's make the available pool of supports even smaller, that'll make more players want to play the role.
Maokai is like 99% confirmed for a rework in the tank update.
Maybe someday Janna will finally get some tuning to bring her in line. Mage supports make too much money and are far too overbearing on bot lane right now, though.
Back in the day, mage supports used to be okay because they fell off so hard as they didn't make enough gold to actually get more AP. So they defaulted into utility as the game progressed and they eventually were out-scaled by traditional supports or tank supports. And all was good.
Now gold generation by mage supports is getting out of control. The way spellthief's works, mage supports are able to constantly get gold procs by throwing long range harass onto enemies throughout every stage of the game to keep their gold generation curves smooth. Tanks fall off over the same time period as they have to have another teammate nearby to get procs, and trying to get procs during laning = free harass and procs from the enemy bot lane. Traditional supports don't have this same problem as they have the benefit of being ranged.
Now mage supports get more gold. You would think this isn't a problem, because their power curve is still behind most solo mages, but it is. I look at champion.gg, and the first items all mage supports get after the mandatory Sightstone + Boots are all the same. Rylai's & Liandry's. This duo of items have the some amazing synergy. They're relatively cheap after the Rylai's changes, and they get so much free scaling because they scale off of enemy health. Mages with this duo are able to scale much harder into late game and impact games just through raw damage rather than tankiness or utility like traditional supports. I really hope they do something about that duo, it's getting out of hand.
disagree, support is one of the most diverse and well balanced class in the game, with options for fans of all kinds of champions with very different strengths and weaknesses and interesting itemization and everything. definitely not perfect but way better than other roles like adc or jungle. i'd say support should be as good as mid at least when they remove those champions
it's not like people are playing more support if zyra and mf are popular
good
i don't think he needs huge changes but at the very least i would like to see a more transparent ult
mage supports were never right, people rolled their eyes at the support luxes and nidalees and even when like velkoz or annie were popular it was always for the same reasons as zyra or mf or malzahar, numbers that are simply busted
i find those kind of champions really negative for the game and the role and while i think that killing those would just surface other problematic 'actual supports' (like janna or sona), at least i feel like those champions bring something more interesting to the game than just numbers
