The secret as a Janna main is having an excellent eye for ADCs that are mechanically above average and winning lane incredibly hard every game and then never losing because being super ahead as Janna is an auto win condition

I've been playing lol since season one and video games are pretty much the only thing I find enjoyment in so when I find one I really like I tend to get attached, plus I've had a job since age 9 so whenever I want something, I simply work for it and then buy it. League (despite its faults) has consistently had content that I've wanted and adding in five years time and me as a dumb(er) teen and you get that sum

Serious response is that anyone who wants to get Diamond in solo queue should only play Janna and nothing else. Advice has been good for last five years.

Or if you're just like queuing support because your mid/top queue isnt going anywhere. I just had one of those season 2 style "i'm going to play Sona like a bad person plays Soraka because they banned Soraka for some reason" people in my last game

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
I wonder how this will effect league of legends, if at all (since Riot is owned by a Chinese company, maybe not)

http://qz.com/620076/beijing-is-banning-all-foreign-media-from-publishing-online-in-china/
“Sino-foreign joint ventures, Sino-foreign cooperative ventures, and foreign business units shall not engage in online publishing services,” the rules state. Any publisher of online content, including “texts, pictures, maps, games, animations, audios, and videos,” will also be required to store their “necessary technical equipment, related servers, and storage devices” in China, the directive says. Any “online publication service units” needs to get prior approval from SARFT if they want to cooperate on a project with any foreign company, joint venture, or individual.

I'm not even 30 yet, it's a horrible negative feedback cycle where I keep thinking that I should just go ahead and grind away to get to the fun part of the game but then I realize that to do so I'd have to play the unfun part.

I'm not sure that I'd describe ranked as more "fun" than normal, exactly.

It's less about ranked and more about being able to do neat things with runes and masteries.

Like I don't even care that I'd probably do loving horrible with Tank Karma I just really want to try it out but I have a feeling it'd be nowhere close to as fun as it should be with only lovely tier 1 runes and a handful of masteries.

Has the ward debris ever helped anyone? I've never gotten any use out of it.

i hardly even notice the ward debris outside of when i sweep a brush since it gets highlighed.

i guess its helpful to know where they used to have a ward so you can say "oh no wonder none of my ganks worked" or whatever because you never smite the raptor.

Ward debris spawns when a ward dies so if you're paying attention you can tell when an enemy ward expires and can relay that information to your jungler or roaming mid. "River ward's down" is useful info to pass along. Especially since they will likely move up to replace it which leaves them open to getting murdered if your guys move quick.

These last 2 ranked matches I've played my team has been especially dumb. The RNG gods are upset with me getting out of bronze 4 in like 5 matches and are now going to make me work for it. I just want to be out of bronze... if only I had zzrot back... then I could do it...

It's helpful early game to let me know if the ward that I saw them place a minute or two ago has expired yet.

Once laning is over, I don't really think it's helpful.

To add to this, I think playing ADC yourself will help you realize certain things that you don't completely understand right now. Start a smurf and see how far you can get as ADC. Queue ADC/Mid so that you're more likely to get ADC, not ADC/Support. Just don't go support period because you'll be extremely likely to get it, which means you won't get anything out of the experience.

Is jungle Zac worse for any reason? He used to be my go to jungler but the last half dozen games with him I just seem to get wrecked. When I play him top I'm fine so I'm not sure if he's worse in the jungle now or if I just lost my magic touch with him.

zac got toned down a long time ago to push him out of lane but he hasn't been touched much since aside from minor tweaks. he's still pretty solid and reliable and runic gave him access to a build with a ridiculous early powerspike at the cost of falling off much harder later.
