I know key fragments are a sensitive topic, but we shouldn't be so rude to each other.

Key fragments feel like they work off the same criteria as chests. I got 3 in one night, none since. Fairly certain there's an invisible version of the chest timer for keys, probably ticking at half the rate to bait you into buying keys.

semi-serious joke answer: Taric Top. Max Q first, rush Icebourne Gauntlet. Once you finish Gauntlet you can kill her rear end at will because she will be doing no damage through your self heal spamming and run out of mana faster than you. the weakness of course comes from being motherfucking solo lane taric but it's worth the quinn tears imo

real answer: Malphite dicks on her hard. You can just rush armor and delete her at level 6 if she keeps trying to fight you. Graves top is probably doable vs. Quinn but a skill matchup. Someone suggested Rammus which once you get your first item will probably make you invincible against her.

best real answer: Lissandra and Morgana top are both strong in that they give 0 shits about her lovely harassing gimmick and can outpush her and pressure her extremely hard at level 6. also pretty strong picks against dives once they hit 6. also provide fantastic TP ganks to bottom lane and have a ton of CC to stop her from doing poo poo in fights. if your jungler ganks for your lane and you picked one of these two champions then Quinn turns into a walking sack of 300 gold.

I think Rammus top is basically the hardest counter. As much as I love Morgana in all matchups I think Quinn is a pretty brutal one, and she can definitely abuse Morgana really hard from levels 1-5, to the point where your kill pressure at 6 is mostly gone. If she rushes Maw you can't allin her either. Outpushing a Quinn also helps a lot less in top than it does in mid.

I'm curious: has anyone had a key fragment drop in ARAM or 3's? Riot says they can (https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/207884233-Hextech-Crafting-Guide) but I and everyone I play with hasn't seen any from either mode so I say Riot is full of poo poo

Lol my games tonight.

Game 1: Enemy team has a Leblanc mid, who goes 18-0. Turns out it's someone's buddy's smurf, helping them with their promotions.

Game 2: My team is a four-person premade, who apart from a disastrous level 1 teamfight, all rush zz'rot and banner. I realise this somewhere around mid-game when we keep losing 2v2 and 3v2 teamfights we should have won, because the carries have barely any AP/AD. "We've tested this in normals and it works."

I didn't think you guys were right, but now that I am noticing, the majority of players in ~Silver I seem to never place a single ward past laning. Not a pink. Not a trinket. Nothing.

I want an item that steals their ward charges and gives them to me. Actually, that would be a really good support keystone: something that gives you longer/more charges and increases your pink cap by 1.

Cheesy invade with a 5stack and not buying anything at 00:00 because he was expecting to pick up a couple kills, would be my guess

I can understand, in the early draft phase, making a team that might build 2 Zz'rots, but the moment you see Nasus that goes out the window. Did they just not know you could stack from them, or something? It seems like such an obvious problem.

You'd be surprised how little some people know about Nasus.

Sometimes when you know you can peel out Nasus in teamfights and when you rotate to stop his split, it doesn't matter if he has like a thousand stacks because he can't reach the people he wants to club for long enough to get two Qs out. So in that case, the pressure would be more valuable than ceding free stacks if you use the zzrot to accomplish objectives elsewhere.

This doesn't seem like it would've been the case in that game, though

I'm fairly certain that in Bronze V rushing ZZRot 100% of the time is the best strategy. To be in Bronze V your CS has to be so bad that ZZRot will basically double your gold income and make you carry the poo poo out of the game.

This is pretty interesting. I would have thought Darius would be played (even if he's a bit weak atm) or Rumble what with the jungle Rumble thing supposedly being popular there. It does look like a lot of the champs have just a handful of players, or one person with a pocket pick anyway (i.e. Heimer).

Some of the item builds are a bit wonky -- Key's Bard items are Eye of the Watcher, Sightstone, FQC, and Spirit Visage -- but overall pretty cool. Mostly what I learned from the Bard pages is that you can pretty much have any combination of either type of pen, ms, as, attack damage, ap, armor, mr and mana and be fine. Which validates my dumb experiments somewhat, and means I'm going to need more rune pages.
