Taric is rad. More than lane matchups I think he's an amazing pick for enabling a carry top, like a Shen who doesn't just watch his ADC get bullied by matchups he can't all-in on.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I played a handful of Poro King games this weekend and my performance was atrocious (not just my play which was also awful). I would get constant "skips" where the game would just stutter and then catch me up to something that happened like 3 seconds later. My ping never went above 35-40ms so it wasn't packet loss. I haven't played ARAM in awhile, and I know murderbridge has the worst performance of any of the maps in the game, but I had never had any issues on it in the past. I've also never had huge sequences frame skip on me like what happened in those games. Anyone know what causes that? Is it just my computer is old poo poo that needs to be upgraded? (Seems most likely).

Packet loss is invisible to your latency.

You can have good ping and still have packet loss.

Ah I assumed packet loss would be reported in a triple-digit spike in ping (which I've seen before intermittently), this was the first time I'd ever seen huge action skips with no detectable difference in ping.

just go to your \League of Legends\Logs\Network Logs directory and upload one of them to Logs of Lag to check if you have packet loss

Makes sense, mallet for kiting, hurricane for multi striking, shiv for lightning, gunblade for hybrid fighting, infinity edge for critical striking. That teemo build gives you everything you need.

I got gifted Old Saint Zilean, so I started trying him out. He's actually a really fun champ.
I'm having a hard time with his early game though as both mid and support. Until you get a lot of CDR and skillups you can't really make a whole lot happen, and inadvertently pushing waves with your bomb can be a huge bummer as support.
Any advice?

He's loving insane and there really is nothing more satisfying than seeing some poor poor Zed literally flash into his turret after bursting him down to half health when he simply wanted to get a minion, only to have the kill show up 3 seconds later while I'm already recalling as the second bomb detonates.

He's a massive turd that can solo kill with a single combo without Ignite, that also farms super easily and can deny melee champions of CS, that is also nigh ungankable, that is also super easy to play.

What broke him, and what items are people running on him? Last I remember he was kind of turdy after his rework.

That's the beautiful thing, absolutely nothing changed about him. If all, the resurgence of immobile mages simply gave him easier matchups, but he's been flying under the radar for a while. Start RoA, then get 40% CDR, and make the most out of that spike. He sort of suffers against people with blinks because you have to predict their jumps for the combo to land.

Ultimately you exist to set up kills and save teammates, hence why 40% CDR is important, but Zilean holds his own very well in a solo lane.
