Anyone who can bully early or has a CC. You force him to use his e defensively and he will never snowball.

Malzahar is a good pick into basically everything. If you specifically want to counter Fizz I bet that Zilean would be a pain in the rear end.

Leading us to the promised land (i.e., one tournament win in five years)
So, what do I when starting playing (normal/blind pick) pvp? Do I just try to pick champions that are sort of generically good wherever? I have been playing a lot of morgana for some reason.

Also, can you really be reported for being bad? Or, I guess, what does being reported mean? Last game I played top with some dude and we both went 0/4 before surrendering, and some dude was all "report top report top." I don't even understand how the guy we were laning against was 5 levels above us.

I obviously have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe 15 co-op v AI games in?

e: I'm level 10 or something like that.

I'm in the same situation as you, played 2 PVP matches so far and I'm just ignoring anyone yelling at me and having fun learning.

No idea what getting reported would do but whatever, it can't be that bad.

At this point, reporting people for being bad is basically a placebo; it'll make the people doing the reporting feel better, and riot won't actually give a poo poo.

At very high levels of skill, riot MIGHT use it to detect accounts that have gotten boosted up to artificially high levels of ELO, but frankly I doubt it.

When you're playing blind pick, just pick whoever the gently caress you want to practice and don't give a poo poo. That's generally what you should be doing at all points pre-30 anyways; figure out who you like, or want to play, and pick them. It's fine.

Just have fun and try to learn more about the game every time you play. If someone is giving you poo poo, don't worry about it! There's a mute button for a reason, they're just dicks.

You cannot be reported for being bad. Or at least, Riot will ignore reports like that.

At some point, people will start expecting you to play champions that are "supposed" to go in a certain role. But you have a ways to go, don't sweat it, play what you feel.

it could be that giving a champion 25 on-hit magic damage (+2% max HP, so another 5 damage around level 9) and double attack speed at level 9 combined with rageblade means that Kog'maw melts whatever he touches even if he's not at 5.0 attack speed before 3 items.
Remember that it was a '2% or minimum 15' before, now it's closer to 10-30 (or more).
The reason his wr was low beforehand was because the W was bugged and making him do less damage than normal.


And all you need to do to be good at Kog is press W and be within 700 range of a fight so...
I guess it's time to play the void puppy again! It's the only way to find out.

I actually didn't know about the kog bug so I went with the usual suspects, especially since he hadn't been changed in 6.6 so he was still nerfed from 6.5

Glad to see I still have a free win pick bot though

Tank Ekko top is pretty strong, once again grasp of the undying just makes all sorts of bullshit viable. Sunfire cape, frozen fist, and just do hit and run trades with the move speed from your passive as often as possible.

There were three people fighting over that dragon dude in Champion select and threatening to feed if they didn't get it, so I decided I would ban him so none of them could play him and the level of salt from all three of them was amazing. The best part was I hovered Gragas jungle at the begining even though I was going to play Ekko and they started fighting over who could gently caress me over by picking Gragas after that.

Allow me to briefly complain about a thing which many junglers with red trinket do that drives me loving bananas. If you find a ward with your sweeper, the ward is turned off. At least half the time you still have time to go ahead with whatever gank if you just don't stop walking. You don't have to clear the ward if the person you're about to gank is badly enough out of position just go!!

What drives me even more crazy is when the jungler is sitting on a ward waiting to gank and you know he's there but he doesn't know, and your support or whatever goes over and pokes him

Like, just let him sit there and waste time man

Don't let them know there's a ward and get meaningless damage on him and waste your mana

Man, Kog'maw is just dumb right now. He does three-item carry level damage with just a rageblade. I literally haven't played him in a year and still carried the game with him, something I could never do with old kog. Being like the only carry who can run Cull effectively without loving himself really helps him a ton with getting going ASAP.

What's the best position to play urgot? I know he's seen a bit of a popularity boost in the 'Marksman' / 'Bot' role, however, I used to prefer him top with more of a ranged bruiser type or role. In team fights I wouldn't put him back line, but not too far forward so you can make use of your ultimate, so again, not a traditional marksman/adc.

Top or mid are the way to go. Unfortunately he's not bursty enough for mid or tanky enough for top, but if you have an assassin jungler/mid or bruiser top you can offset that.

He gets pretty tanky since he likes frozen heart and deaths dance, and his passive is even more free reduction. I just think he's a waste bot Lane since he can't really do traditional adc things nearly as effectively

Definitely not bot. I play him top with muramana, maw, steraks, black cleaver, and whatever else I feel like at that point. Ult someone in a teamfight, get the AOE fear on the enemy team, waddle out with your W on and maw shield and sterak shield, then drop mad q's on people. It has been decently successful so far. Also use his R as a good escape tool if you get ganked. Nothing like landing a kill in top lane and when their jungler comes in behind you to finish it off, you ult them and just walk away.
