Yes you will, mf/Leo has kill pressure on every bot lane and I would never take exhaust

Doesn't Janna just immediately end every single Leona engage, or did they change something about her?

less than 1% of people who bought DFG used the active? is this some kind of elaborate riot troll

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.

Why did Leona take exhaust against a Janna/Vayne botlane. Why. Why would you do that.

(Also nice penta)

Because Armor Pen cheese build MF has enough damage to kill anything, and we're duo queue'd, so he specifically runs Exhaust to enable us to 2v5 when an enemy mid or top gets fed. We killed Vayne and Janna a bunch of time in lane even with Exhaust.

So is anyone else having problems with the game recently? Like your health bar at the bottom being empty black even when you're at full health? Or your champion just straight up becoming uncontrollable for a few seconds, with everything else around you moving normally, with no visible lag spike or an "attempting to reconnect" message?

These plats need to step their game up. I've had people in Bronze games die 12 time by that point, and they weren't even trying to feed, and they sure as hell didn't have 11 assists.

Mash, can you post any replays of your games? I'm real bad at this game and want to figure out how to bully the poo poo out of folks in lane with MF. I've been doing ok down here in wood tier but I always seem to shove them to right in front of turret and then I can't kill them and get ganked and angry and then things are hosed until we start game of throws through 40-50 minutes.

Here's one of my accounts being pushed into diamond using largely Armor Pen MF the last 3-4 days:
http://www.replay.gg/search/euw/thisisagoddream

I generally avoid all-ins before one of three criteria are met:

-Our jungler is ganking
-I have backed and bought BF sword
-I have ultimate

Armor Pen MF is very weak pre-6 unless you get BF before then, so just avoid fights and farm. Poke them out with Q and force backs if possible, but mostly I've won by killing lane after getting BF, taking first tower, rotating mid and taking that tower, then getting Yomuus second item and moving around the map taking towers in 4 seconds with Yomuus+W actives.

I was watching a stream where an Ekko who was in placements straight up sat at fountain for like 3 minutes waiting for passive gold to combine Trinity Force. He had like 60 CS at 30 and thus had less gold than even the enemy support. He was also level 11 when people started hitting 18. Oh and he was going to go Trinity Force -> Ghostblade -> Black Cleaver.

This is pure speculation on my part, but to me it seems in most modes grades have several components. It seems that the components are only kind of averaged, and your overall grade can only be a certain amount higher than your lowest grade. If your csing isn't up to par it's impossible to get an S regardless of your kda.

To be honest I really don't find her that weak pre-6, she doesn't really like extended trades because of zero AS but pure Q poke is really strong in lane against a wide range of champions (with 20-30 armor pen a bonus damage Q is basically the strongest poke any ADC can dish out at that point of the game). On the opposing ADC side I only feel like Caitlyn is really rough early on. Supports that can zone you off the minion line like Leona or Sona are a bit rough to play against though.

SaltyTeemo was the greatest thing. I watched a 14 average elo game on the Brazil server that was 27/29 kills at 12 minutes, with the highest CS on the team being like 30.

Highlights included Nashor's Tooth + Tiamat Vayne and full AD Mordekaiser
