Yeah, I think I not gonna touch this game without friends anymore, got paired with 3 unranked on my team, THREE.
These guys didnt tried to farm in tower, WW didnt wanted to use his R and the top was in his lane never using TP

Just climb to an elo where you don't get matched with unranked people.

Or just play ARAM where everyone wants poke and nobody wants to be the tank.

Thats not a useful advice, really.
all the champions in that list deserve whatever nerf they get (idk about top rammus, haven't ever seen him but it's rammus so yeah....)
ahri being high up isn't bad cos she's easy to play, i find it more problematic that champions that are supposed to be unique and weird like inven or shaco are that high up
The point is, is that you're probably not better than the unranked players you're getting matched up against. Most unranked players get placed in Silver 5 anyways.

I am afraid thats the case. still annoying since some unranked is their first ranked match
For sure. Just remember that there's a higher probability the unranked players are on the enemy team since there are 4 spots excluding you on your team but 5 on the enemy team.
i think i like it less when the rampaging mastery yi is on my team
something feels really wrong about him 1v5ing after the extremely generous q untargetability bullshitted him out of a cassi ult that i saw TOTALLY LANDED with my two own eyes
like it's my first non mid game after like 25 games so winning is a blessing but i don't enjoy it when it's like this lol
i picked pantheon cos i saw he had really high winrate and i played some pantheon like 3 years ago lol. all i did was bait yasuo for yi and that started him off on his snowballing spree
absolutely terrible lol
ain't this the truth.

Please destroy every quinn top you see

Did they have games on Ori last season at all? It's not like Ori has changed that much over the last few seasons. Otherwise I agree, please don't first-time champs in ranked for the most part.

I'm having a blast playing Akali, however I find that I kind of go into button mashing mode when things are getting crazy. I guess I should be memorizing my cooldowns so I'm not hitting things when they are down. It's not a problem 1v1 but usually when shit is going down it gets a little frantic. I've also been playing for like 5 god damn years and still forget to use my damn items all the time. Granted, it's usually normals with friends but I'd still like to get better.
The "Ori is best balanced champ" is such a dumb meme, she's pretty much the og overloaded overpowered kit
How?
Q: Damage
W: Slow and damage
E: Shield
R: Damage and displacement
wow overloaded

I believe when people talk about a kit being overloaded they're usually referring to multiple abilities doing lots of things. The standard case would probably be release Camille, specifically her E.
I just checked Ori's patch history as well. Between season 2 and now she's received two 2 updates to her base stats, 2 updates to her ability costs (command attack and shockwave had their cost lowered, Shockwave had CD lowered as well), a number of QoL improvements and bug fixes, and some very minor changes to her GCD after using some abilities. In spite of any major changes (barring the cost change to command attack, which is pretty nice) she's been played on and off in the competitive scene based on buffs to items and what laners are popular, and buffs to the champ herself. Also, the large majority of her match ups are considered skill match ups as far as I know. Every ability does basically one thing.

Overloaded because she does everything too well
Too much burst - wow she can press qw and take 1/3 your health every few seconds with zero downside to her
W speeds her team up too, have fun trying to chase an Ori with her slows,speedups,shields, and ridiculous q poke with minimal cooldown
Best zoning in the game with a low cooldown ult
"She has weak autos tho" except for her passive that completely negates that
Her shield does damage as well if it passes through an enemy
Disgustingly safe champ with 0 weakness, too much burst, too much zone control, most of her abilities have too many effects
Yeah she's a dumb unfun op overloaded champ
Tbf the gross CDR creep that's taken over leeg is making a lot of kits way too strong that could otherwise be balanced with appropriate cooldowns
Anything above azir level wr is too much for a champ like Ori
Actually I'll let Ori slide if riot makes azir great again
Ironic that riot cratered azir for being too good at everything despite his average winrate but leave Ori completely untouched when she has all the same problems
At least azir has to put himself in Danger to use his ult offensively while Ori can just q or shield someone and get it off for free
The difference is that Azir is too good for pro play at 44% solo queue winrate while Ori is not.

Have you honestly even played much Ori?
I refuse to play awful champs like trynd, udyr, Ori, etc.

It's really easy to say that a champ is OP without actually playing it yourself. Also, the best way to learn a champ's weaknesses is to play it. Did you know that the Q cast range is 300 units shorter than the ball's leash range?
Yep I know about the cast/leash thing since a lot of champs have similar mechanics - lebonk, karma, azir, maybe more?
This is like the least egregious instance of inting I've ever seen someone complain about.
Eh. Ori is not really a champion I get mad at in isolation but so much of what she does in mid/late game is oriented around shield/W and abusing the safety net it provides for the team. It's a very passive playstyle and she only becomes an aggressor really when she's piggy backing off an engaging teammate. There are other passive champions like this but they usually have a harass pattern or less reliable disengage. Obviously people like seeing the ult hit and that's cool, but part of the reason it's exciting is probably because Orianna is much better at stopping fights or turning them than starting them on her own. The ult is also the only piece of her kit that really feels like it rewards careful timing or thought...

Wish he was me with a 93% wr
THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO BREAKFAST
Apparently HoTS unveiled their 2.0 update today.
Seems to me like it's just new monetization efforts piled atop the same shitty foundation.
Why did I level an account up to 40 again?

I loaded up the video thinking it was gonna be like an overhaul of the game, but it's just "Progression 2.0"
Multiplayer progression in 2017 LUL.

Progression is that carrot on a stick. As someone who still plays heroes from time to time, I definitely don't hate this update. Not sure I'm a huge fan of loot chests. Honestly, though, a lot of this looks like the items from Dota 2 which I am a big fan of.

About time
League did it years ago with their undercooked character progression and loot boxes
..atleast in hots you dont need keys and you get chests each level as well as it being retroactive. And a wider depth of customization too~

Nice ego boost to win a game that was largely 4v5 due to a raging/feeding Kog'Maw and get told by three members of the enemy team you were the real MVP (poor support Janna who had to put up with him was probably as influential). I've ended up as a one-trick pony Rumble player with all my other champions either nerfed or reworked, but at least I still know the trick well.
