no, reworked ryze is probably 1 or 2 weeks out, and the cannon minion changes / turret are on PBE.

Reworked Ryze is on on tournament realm already. Since it wasn't a new champion the lockout isn't mandatory and even if it was it's based on the same timing as the patch (7 calendar days if a game week/playoff round hasn't started)

Losing a 3v1 against Huhi should mean instant relegation. Like end the game and remove the team from the studio.

I think we've already proven I don't do that, otherwise I'd be rooting for Gravity to come from the grave in their leather Jackets.

Instead I'm a c9 fan, a team which everyone here irrationally dislikes.

So I haven't actually played the game in a couple years and my game knowledge has really gone to poo poo. Accordingly, I have a hard time reading team comps beyond the basics and what casters say about them, so I was wondering if there are any good resources for:

1) Who outscales who in each role
2) What kind of comp each champion belongs in, e.g. I can't really tell which team wants to teamfight and which wants to siege/spit/poke/whatever unless one has something really obvious like a Jax or a bunch of long range poke and wave clear

It would take an enormous post to explain that for every role and is hard to convey without background context. I don't know how to tackle it.

The meta is surprisingly wide with a lot of flex picks right now. In top lane alone lately we have seen trundle, tahm kench, Shen, gangplank, gnar, malzahar, vladimir, yasuo, hecarim just as an example. The kind of post you want would be huge for all roles except like...jungle where its nidalee gragas and reksai constantly

Knowing these things is generally just memorization from watching/playing a lot of matches. A good rule of thumb is that generally a team building a lot of stacking items like tear and/or rod of ages, or an adc building crit/aspd items (as opposed to serrated dirk items) is looking to scale into the mid and late game. If a top laner is building two or more damage items (and are not mages) they are generally looking to splitpush rather than teamfight. As for siege/poke comps, it's basically a team filled with all of the champs that have been OP/annoying in ARAM for the past 2 or 3 years.

This isn't hard and fast rule, there are definitely exceptions to this (Riven is a big one).

Yeah, that's why I was hoping there was already a resource for it - League of Legends fans love making elaborate database websites. There's no way I'd ask for a full answer to those questions from scratch, because of pretty much what you said
