FUCK THIS SHIT
ADC Quinn is serviceable because Quinn is pure hitler in solo queue and I imagine she is hard to gently caress up in bronze so there is no reason to dodge that

Can someone tell me how to CS on Ahri? I am getting like 4 CS/min atm and it loving stinks. Her AA feels awful weak and slow and when I try to Ball to kill something it never comes back in time to deal the 2nd hit of damage and they die to my wave.

Practice with bots and play normals homie

As with most champs that farm with skillshots (Ziggs, Orianna, Ahri, Liss, etc), it takes time before you learn the certain "feel" and scaling of the abilties for farming

It really doesn't matter, especially if you're in bronze. I forgot to swap with the support in a ranked game at high gold just now and ended up having to play Nautilus mid (yeah, I know this has actually been done in competitive) with thunderlords and scaling armor runes against AD Ezreal (not exactly a fun experience in lane). Still finished the game with most gold, most damage, and most kills. About half of the champions in the game are playable in toplane, including almost every tank and almost every AP midlaner.

Also ADC Quinn is not only 'playable' but actually good.

I was 10-2 in a ranked game as tank Akali and our Ahri kept telling me to peel for her and our Lucian, despite the fact that I had more kills than the two of them combined. I pointed this out, to which she replied that they did more damage. I responded by flash ulting onto the enemy ADC and instagibbing him, just to prove a point

Looks like J4 is really getting that enormous ult buff where it damages everyone inside the ult as opposed to just one person.

I am happy.

Also, never surrender.



This was a great game where I somehow managed to ward more than our support with sightstone and our team somehow outlasted a Pantheon who was 7/0/0 against our Nasus at like 15 minutes.

Yesterday in low gold I lost to a mid-lane singed because our ahri refused to poke him out of lane and our adc ezreal didn't buy an iceborne in a 35 minute game. Basically never Dodge anything unless the guy is clearly trying to troll

He's getting some buffs soon. Maybe wait until then, because he got nerfed pretty badly when he was totally FOTM in competitive.

Why does Gnar feel bad right now anyway, is it just that Fiora eats him alive or?

He got nerfed, his items got nerfed (the Cleaver nerf hurt A LOT), a bunch of common picks top seem to be really hard for him. Also every time I play him I find myself thinking "I could just play Poppy or Nautilus instead here".

Soo I've picked Zac back up and god drat is he fun right now. he is such a total shithead in the jungle and his ganks are preposterous. I have been going W>Q>E to start, then maxing R>E>Q>W for that extra E range on ganks. His clear is still pretty fast and I never feel like I have to go back early. It's awesome.

Best jungles for not having to go back until you can get your full jg item: Trundle, Nunu, Zac, Warwick, ...rammus?

I've been seeing a ton of full ap zac mids/top lately. And while they're super squishy the damage/cc is insane. Did he get a change (other than the e range buff) or is this just a gimmick/item change thing?

Here in Bronzie Idaho I see a lot of Illaoi players who manage to land her soul grab and then never attack the soul clone.

I seriously wonder if they're colorblind and the clone blends in with the background of something.

I actually have an issue with Singed (that I have discovered over the last couple of days) that when I'm in a complicated team fight or something, I can't tell if I actually have his Q activated or not. Especially with his ult active spewing off the green poo poo as well.

There were a number of fights yesterday where I swear I pressed Q, only to discover five seconds later that it either got shut off by something, or I had apparently not pressed it in the first place.

Part of the problem is it being a toggle - with other skills, it's really drat obvious that it didn't "trigger." With Singed's Q, you only know if you're staring at the Q icon, or you can tell after a few seconds 'hey, there's no green spew." That becomes harder to do if poo poo's flying everywhere and there are particle effects all over (and, as mentioned, if your ult is active).

You guys seen Braum mid yet? He rushes the attack speed bow and armor and manages to do a pretty great amount of damage. The beauty of it is they went a kill lane bot so it didn't drop off endgame like you'd expect.

imo it's just a gimmick thing. If you do enough damage with your team around to scare the poo poo out of the enemy team, if you're blown up with your passive active it doesn't really matter because you just walk it off while your team cleans up. I usually go cinderhulk with either tracker or blue smite, swifties, visage, then depending on what's up at that point either zzrot or banner.

I play Singed a lot and turning on colorblind mode helped. The poison becomes a much more contrasting and stark blue hue.
