Nome and Rayven afaik.
This. I like the idea of 4 starting bans, 6 picks, 2 bans, 4 picks. Basically how DOTA2 does it.
Real Tips
-Top Solo or I fed
-Support is just another word for carry
-Pushing lanes wins lanes
-Wards prevent you from getting IE early
-Only pussies fear bush
-When in doubt, Demacia
-When in doubt, blame someone else
-Demacia again, summoner
-Last hitting is overrated
-Starting off with 13 pots is a legitimate strategy.
-Two AP carries are better than one
-Use all talk, to make sure the other team knows its not your fault
-Trash talk at every opportunity. Inspire your own team while frustrating the enemy.
-Order of rank picks must go: Carry, Carry, Carry, Carry, Support/Jungle/Tank. Fuck 5th person.
-Yordle teams are popular with the ladies
-There is no mute option.

Zileas actually continues the topic and brings up the staggered bans...
On NA:
garath - garathk
That's the wisest way to do it. Only buy champs on sale. Skins only if it's a champion you play a lot (or if it's Bloodstone Taric and you can't stand the normal skin of Taric even though you've only played him 5x).
That's how I do it. And I've only spent around $100 so far. Lol

There's better options that people know really well.

Guys, thanks for the usernames and tips! Keep 'em coming, I'll be updating the Doc as soon as I finish my flight to San Francisco. I'm moving across the country today. :x

Like who?
The notable comparison is Orianna who just works better for most team comps. She provides better utility and the pull on her ult allows for more interesting things than the delayed knockup on Zyra's.
Though, I do think there's a good chance that her lack of use may be more related to just not knowing her as well. A similar situation to Jayce, I suppose.
Yeah, I'm debating which one of those two to buy. Both look like they're pretty fun to play but I'm surprised there isn't more love for Zyra. She has arguably the best snare out of the AP mids, the ult has an amazing AOE, she's bursty (I love bursty :3) and can do wraiths without moving from her lane, etc. I like the idea of Orianna, and I like that she's cheaper, but I dunno, people have scared me away from her because of her high skill requirement.
Like who?
Ahri
Morgana
Anivia
TF
Even Cassio and Ryze even though they've kinda fallen out of the scene.
Basically the pros have hundreds of games under their belt with the other champs so it'll take awhile to integrate a new one. It'll have to fit their team comp and they have to feel very comfortable with her before choosing her. They'll make exceptions when a champ is very strong (i.e. Orianna) but otherwise you'll see the normal ones.
Don't base your decisions on the pro scene. It's a different world than solo queue. Play which ones are most fun to you and you feel strong with. I know I'll be buying Zyra when she goes on sale and I'll probably use the heck out of her. I'll still use Diana if I ever get first pick and she's not banned lol.
Zyra is a good solo queue champ since she's rather good on her own. Orianna is just seen more often in the pro scene since she offers more when you look at team comp and synergy (e.g., the whole Shyvana/Orianna ult combination; Zyra is "just" a knockup).
To be fair, Orianna is more similar to Zyra in the sense of zone control compared to the others on this list. Syndra will be interesting to see for this list too since I find the way they play kind of interesting.
Not that I ever play mid.
They're completely different kinds of casters is probably why. They have better sustained damage so that's why you see Cass a lot with Yorick comps. Ryze just has a bad time in lane now that people know what to do with him.
Oh yeah, no worries about that, I was actually kinda dumb mixing the two things together. I just feel that Lux's snare is too unreliable to use her on ranked and she's still low tier compared to most, so I want someone else of the same high-utility+burst style. And I already own Ahri anyways
Hmm, I actually like more utility than damage in my champs, so I'm again unsure. I probably should just try them both in PBE.
Foxfire Ahri :3
Blast zone Heimerdinger.
It USED to be the Diana skin. Now I hate it.
It WOULD be the mafia MF skin but I missed the sale.
I don't own that many skins tbh. Having trouble even remembering which skins I do have haha.
I have the free ones for jumping through hoops, samurai Yi, Riot Nasus...
The only ones i bought were super teemo and blast zone Heimer. I don't like the super teemo one much because teemo looks wrong without something on his head.
and what are they proposing?
Reverse Annie is really really good.
I don't think we've seen any proposal for what they're doing, just that Zileas wants champ select to not matter as much for the end result. That is, the outplaying should primarily happen during the game, not during picks.
Edit: By the way, no hard reset at the end of the season guys.
Also, buffing Rengar makes me happy. If only because I don't lose lane with him already.

What skill requirement? Shield the tank and hit ult?
Hey don't shoot the messenger
I just bought both of them on PBE. Will try them later...

The only skin I have is King Rammus.
Okay.
Okay.
Nothing concrete yet, just Classick mentioning that there are buffs coming. One of which is tweaking his passive to be more effective, though I imagine it'll just be adjustments to how it executes and how that "feels" as opposed to outright improving it.
