Something I noticed about the wording of the Tier 2 Rune Perm 1 IP thing is that they said they couldn't make them free because of how the storefront is coded, which makes me wonder if with the new client Tier 2 runes will become a part of every new account and you simply upgrade them to a Tier 3 rune for a (hopefully) much, much cheaper IP price

As passives go getting 72 flat MS at level 18 and getting to build 6 items is a solidly above average one.

But then again I kind of have a thing for champions that are just gigantic balls of stats.

Any tips on how to get out of a slump? For a while now I've been having awful games on champs I'm normally confident on.

I thought at first it might be the ap item changes, since they really weren't clicking with me, but I've had a couple bad games on adcs now so I'm definitely sure something is up with my gameplay.

sometimes slumps drag on for a while because you're not playing well so eventually you just have to take a break. in my heart im a grind lord but im also aware whenever i dont play for a few days i always play really well and win most of my games before slowly falling off the wagon again.

ya really only you know how you deal with things emotionally, but assuming you're a robot, a slump is just a retroactive term for losing some games in a row and even if you have a 60% win chance you're gonna do that

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Rather than letting your mechanics decay, I just recommend playing a lot of ARAM, you might end up finding champions you love playing, especially considering how many are getting reworks now. Leveling a smurf can be a little relaxing too but that depends on how quickly you're dropped into smurf island (My last smurf ended up against Platinum players around level 22)

You don't know it, but you are full of stahs
Zil support feels weak early, as your harass is pretty gated by mana costs, but picks up into a nonstop stunbot/ult machine that has a ton of impact. I'd play it into lanes that aren't likely to murder you or have very obvious engage patterns - it's my go-to into Sorakas.

I'm not sure what to build on him post Mage rework, however, and he desperately needs some mana source aside from FQC.

Who do you guys think is the best champ to play against bots?

For reference, I mean as an extremely mediocre ranked player, if I want to crack out a sub-15 minute first win of the day, who is the best? You need to be able to push and take towers, as well as murder bots to get gold.

I'm thinking Yasuo, but I'm open to ideas.

I like Taric and Morgana right now for supports. Taric is the king against lots of AD, but even without that he still is great at dealing with anyone. With new athenes, Morgana is dumb strong. She can easily fill it up, and using black shield that also gives a serious heal is absolutely amazing.

Speaking of supports can we all take a second and appreciate the fact that the meta is finally shifting from tanks to utility/mage supports again? I am a horrible tank and as a ~support main~ I felt pretty useless for the last couple of months.

Zilean support is incredibly strong if you're comfortable landing skillshots.

His current pros and cons (IMO):

PROS:
An absurdly strong low-cooldown teamfight-winning Q-W-Q combo.
Slamming two Qs onto the same spot in the jungle is incredible zone control even if they don't hit because the enemy can't just walk through it.
Incredibly strong mobility and enemy-hindering. You can roam almost as easily as Bard can.
Your ADC dies on the last tic? Not anymore they don't! Plus his ult is up pretty much every teamfight.
Able to force a power spike over the enemy with your passive, if a telegraphed one.

CONS:
In lane it's pretty easy to end up pushing the lane if you harass with your Q poorly. Even if you're good with it his laning phase is a lot more stressful than Sona and you'll probably end up stealing CS from your ADC by accident/when you miss a bomb and an enemy walks in to force the CS to you instead of the ADC..
Currently is pretty mana hungry and doesn't have as good a build path as he used to.
If you can't reliably hit both skillshots you're going to be far less effective.

Im going to go with Kayle or Trist. Kayle has excellent wave clear, sustain and AoE damage. Trist is just shredding towers with her E and Q. Ziggs might be an idea as well because his new W is ridiculous.

The answer is that I hate myself and I hate my teammates.

Edit: Honestly, support seems to be a statistically fairly balanced role right now. Champion.gg says Sona's sitting at like 15th in the win rate right now, but that still puts her at a WR of like 50.5%, and you don't get more than two percent away from that until you go all the way up to #2 on the list. Up to 6.9 I'm pretty sure her win rate was sitting solidly in the top 5 or so for a few patches. She basically never gets attention in the patch notes, so any fluctuation in her WR is pretty much a response to other champions getting adjusted, items getting adjusted, or shifts in the meta.
