Dropped from silver 3 to silver 5. My actual scores are improving but I can't seem to get that 8/0 hard carry run. I know I've been playing support but Its rare that I've had the least amount of gold. Not sure what to really do since my go to game winner was poppy and she's been mega nerfed.

focus on fewer roles/champs if your main goal is to climb. i see all 5 roles and like 20 different champs played in your past couple weeks worth of games. stick to 2 roles and play the fewest number of champs you can manage without getting bored, for me its 4 or 5 but some people are happy just jamming 1 forever

Her ult is a longass wall. I'm starting to think All Shurimans are Trump supporters. From the reveal I'm not actually sure what to think about her. I'll have to play a game or two to get a feel. But Vel'Koz is sad because it looks like her little knockup circle is instant and knocks in any direction.

EDIT: Nevermind there's a very small delay, but it still looks faster than laser squid's knockup.

sona is the most powerful support by a huge margin in lower divisions. if you know the first thing about positioning you will be able to effortlessly bully any support carry combo by yourself while your own carry farms in peace. the tricky part is to keep from overextending

if you're in a position to buy non-support items on sona, the right choice is almost always luden's echo. defensive items are mostly wasted on her since you get bonus power on your heal and shield from ap anyway. obviously still build aegis if the team needs it

With spell vamp now out of the game, have they said anything about what they're doing to Morgana's and Akali's passives and whoever else has it in their kit, or are they just removing it from items but leaving it in kits?

It cracks me up that part of this patch is just ripping MR out of a bunch of items. Spirit visage, Banshee's, and GA are all getting MR reductions. This might make mages good!

Taliyah's kit seems kind of underwhelming, except for the troll wall.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Tailyah looks REALLY fun, goddammit.

And yeah that skin makes me mad because I'll have to spend my RP on it.

Also I'm slightly disappointed that the new character is just a generic earthbender from Avatar. They didn't even make her blind or a badass.

Love me some Zac and the buffs aren't earth shattering but they are nice. Especially the quicker passive rebirth for endgame teamfights.

What? One name? Who are you, Seal?
So new champ has Cho's pop-up (but you can throw them where you want), Zigg's minefield, a combination of Aurelion Sol, Tahm Kench, Rek'Sai, and Anivia for the ult, and Aurelion Sol's move faster passive (but it only works near walls).

Hmmm I'm wondering if new Righteous Glory is worth it on Hecarim. Seems like it fits well with his Q and W and obviously horseh likes to go fast. On the other hand, you typically want damage and tankiness on Hec and Righteous doesn't really provide either in any direct way. Any thoughts?

I just realized Taliyah can use her knockback to knock people who have used their flash/dash to cross her wall back to the other side. I am not a smart man.
