I like TT and wish it was more active :shobon:

I started playing TT recently only to discover Champion Mastery and Keys aren't implimented in it at all.

As a Dominion refugee this concerns me as I really really hate Summoner's Rift and am disgruntled that I am missing out on features because of that.

They're supposed to be adding that stuff to TT and even ARAM as well as the new rotating queue at some point.

Delete Soraka just on general principle. She's annoying even when she's not strong, and when she is strong she's unbearable.

That stuff should be active in all game modes and it's lazy that it isn't.

I would play TT more if you could ever get three people to agree on a strategy. Every game I play in that over the years is two other people with dramatically different meta strategy opinions and no flexibility in what they want to play.

Hot tip for climbing out of bronze: make sure you play solo lane hypercarries who can drag the rest of the team to victory kicking and screaming. It's the only way you will escape elo hell.

the best way to get out of bronze is to pick some aggressive hero and pretend to go support, and then just repeatedly murder the enemy bot lane 1v2. by going botlane like that you are getting to snowball off 2 retards instead of 1, and your adc gets freefarm the entire game, plus the dumb poo poo botlane is going to probably bitch at the jungler to come and you can get double buffs off him

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Tank Ekko is neat but quite challenging to play well. You really have to know your margins when a spell combo doesn't one-round people.

For the zero people that were wondering, optimal Soraka treeline build is Sheen->Lucidity->Nashor's Tooth->Lich Bane->Wooglet's Witchcap

This is definitely not a good build. RoA/Liandry's, Wooglet's, a CDR item (FCQ/Athene's), Moonflair Spellblade, Abyssal/Spirit Visage, and some flavor of boots are probably a lot close to optimal.

TT is till not as bad as dominion was. I remember when Riot removed it, I spent days looking at the mode select thinking "This looks different, but I'm not sure how." Then I remembered the announcement about it being removed, or maybe I saw someone with an icon.

Currently 6 losses into trying to learn Jhin, how do people actually win with this dude? The most curious thing about him to me is how easily I get 1v1'd by every other ADC even when I come out ahead in laning, does that sound normal?

Got one. http://www.replay.gg/search/na/swankykong

It's giving me a database error screen right now, hopefully that's fixed before you try to open it. I had a couple sloppy mistakes in there, but I think I played a little better than my amumu game. Fun story: Nami spent the first 3 minutes calling us all cunts before everyone muted her.

My jungle pathing is probably still weird, and I tend to wait a little too long to try and gank but I really don't like trying to dive turrets in bronze. Don't trust my teammates.

e: Garen and I sat in the brush there because I wanted to wait out the people chasing Jinx so we could get that inhibitor. I didn't expect Swain to be afk right next to it, heh.

I am in love with Space Dragon.
Seriously. He's awesome. But very very strange, too.
I also tend to play him 'support' with a Sion buddy in bot lane. We murder our matchups all too regularly with the dual-stun stacking, too.

That being said - wait until he's in the free rotation to try him? He's super quirky.

Gnar is loving delightful too, and you can't really go wrong with him - especially if you grab the Gentleman skin for maximum polite comedy murderbeast.

Bit of a long shot but has anyone else experienced the game continually telling them "Connection Timeout: The request to the pvp.net server timed out"? I often miss queues and rarely connect to the post-game screen. I've tried a bunch of suggested stuff but nothing has helped so far.

If you're 1v1ing another ADC, that means you're within their auto attack range and you basically don't have an ult and they do. Do small skirmishes and back off. Once they're below half you can try and finish them with your ult, or just don't because you shouldn't be dueling go take an objective goddammit

Back when Vi was top ban status, I felt this way with her too. It gave me the feeling of "I have to do so much work with all these junglers, but Vi just makes it feel easy".

Her Q is really satisfying and versatile. Pulling off the Q>AA>E combo also just feels good, especially when it kills.

Or just kill them with another round of autos because a Jhin that's ahead will crush someone below half health with his last shot
