I have never touched LOL but caught the last half of the new viewer stream of the worlds finals and it peaked my interest. Does anyone have any recommendations for streamers who actually take the time to explain what they are doing and why the are making certain choices, rather than just mindlessly yelling?

Jungling is kind of a weird niche skillset that doesn't help a new player - but foxdrop has a good YouTube channel if you're interested.

He has his fair share of click bait "top 5 mistakes new players make" videos, and he misses a lot of plays because he's too busy finding his dog, but his full gameplay are usually very informative and interesting. He's good about saying what he's buying and why, when and where he's ganking, etc.

You tag camps you don't intend to clear with your Q as you run by them to trigger the passive on Hunter's Talisman. If, say, you start with a leash on Krugs you then go clear red solo, then go to blue; but, as you run past raptors and wolves shoot a Q at them. Shoot the Q when you're already past the camp to avoid getting hit. You can also "kite" camps that you choose to clear; run back and forth spamming Q whenever E is on cooldown, then close to melee only to get the empowered autos from E then go back to running around. The goal with that bit is to make you feel good about yourself and your leet skills, as it has very little bearing on your health at the end of the clear. Assuming you smite the Krugs, fight Red, Q raptors, Q wolves, and Smite the Blue buff, you'll end with ~80% health even if you don't kite or use potions. Just make sure to line up the little monsters in a camp so that everything gets hit with Q and you're set. After your first clear (sans Gromp), take a scuttle, gank, or go buy your jungle item and the rest of your clears should be fine.

I don't like Vel'Koz, why does he do so much damage? :(

Because his ult is a channel that can only be used in a more-or-less straight line and he has zero CC beyond an okay slow (that's perilously hard to hit on more than one target) and his knockup, which has a base cooldown of 16 seconds. Vel'Koz is a glass cannon in every sense of the word.

Are you supposed to generally overheat in a teamfight like at all or do you basically only want to if you absolutely have to like someone is gonna kill you but they have a tiny bit of HP left themselves kinda thing?

Would it be a safe rule to just like plan to never overheat during teamfights and just try to do danger zone Qs on cooldown with the occasional harpoon for fleeing enemies?

i think after you use your ultimate and your E charges it's generally fine to use Q to overheat yourself and try to get the extra damage on autos, assuming you're winning the fight. if you're not, you need to kite longer with your Es until you are

I've gotten up to 18 support going jungle/support but maybe that's cheating. The only real difference between it and support/jungle is queue time

(Okay that's not fair, it's getting jungle 5% vs 1%)

Generally speaking, don't be too afraid to overheat if its an all out brawl of a team fight as long as you've already dropped your ult. It takes about the same amount of time to recover from overheat as it would to wait for yourself to naturally cool to a place you won't instantly overheat when you use an ability, so you might as well get the bonus damage out ASAP.

If you're trying to disengage don't overheat and just wait for your W to be up if you're solo (escaping a gank) or E if you're escaping a team fight.

i think that situationally he's pretty good in the top lane at the moment, you can see my match history from this evening and take a gander: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ultrarobi

part of this is the elo i play at, probably. being able to go first item spirit visage against a ryze was pretty good, and my builds were goofy because i was having fun but it's probably viable. i mean, i did get a delayed penta after all! in one of my support tahm games i built hextech rocket belt to be a dick, and i used it to make a super long range engage and it was a lot of fun. play tahm. it's a good time. also he's very easy for getting good grades on, my support game ended up as an S and the game against Ryze was an S+

oh uh AP kog is back too

What's your second role? In my experience the only configuration giving you either mid or top at reasonable frequency is mid/top and top/mid, respectively. And conversely, putting support as your second role all but guarantees that you'll never get your first, which is why I never choose it despite it being my second best role.
