He actually deals decent damage, it's just that his E damage counts as coming from whoever you put it on, so it doesn't show up in end of game stats. You can duel the ADC when you have Daisy.

To be fair, pretty much anyone besides support Soraka/Janna can duel the ADC pre-25 minutes.

Diana apparently had a crush on Leona in canon because of their whole sun/moon thing and there were a lot of discussions about whether they were canon gay or not and the Riot cop-out answer was basically "Well it's up to your interpretation" because they didn't want to commit on it and get all the publicity over it.

Oh no not free publicity anything but that, please no Trump we're winning so hard we're tired of winning make it stop.

Pretty sure its implied Jinx, Cait and Vi have some weird love triangle going on.

aurelion sol is super simple to play but he has an unusual play pattern that he shares with one character ever, and people in solo queue just don't seem to bother with it (he has the same laning phase as first item tp homeguards mid lane hecarim)

also y'all, varus is pretty good right now

his new passive is really good, and his passive + blight stacks are really good with hurricane.

essence reaver also rules and varus ult is loving great. in a game last night we used it on cooldown on a brand who ended up with 14 or 17 deaths or something fun

I mean, in my opinion he has the worst passive in the game, regardless of buffs or not. I watched qtpie dominate lane with Varus last night and still be completely useless because Varus can't DPS for poo poo and just gets flashed on and murdered after taking bot tower

Varus pairs up so well with some comps though. Like any team with a Varus and a Lux is just impossible to engage on because of the hurt they can lay down from so far.

We've come up in the ram-raiding business, Owl.
It's all high class now.
No more baby seats.
Just played into a team with Ivern and Soraka; hour long game because holy poo poo we could not get any poke to stick or even get a pick. Even though we just barely won in the end I hated every moment of that game, just awful and frustrating and completely unfun. Our fault for not banning Ivern I guess but I honestly never see him in silver flex so I just forgot.

he's top three in adc win rate right now and the crit build does fine damage?

He's picked as an ADC less than 5% of the time and his best counter picks are Kalista and Lucian. He's a mid-tier ADC at best.

Lux is in nearly every game now and it's a pain in the rear end because even if she feeds her tits off all game, she can just spam at late game and win team fights just by hitting one or two skillshots out of twenty.

That and her binding hit box is loving gigantic compared to the animation in pretty much every skin.

Ya imo once he gets a kill/assist in teamfights he is like min Jinx. Jinx may have more dmg late game but Varus laning phase is basically god tier. He can even poo poo on Cait.

My favorite low elo logic is the "support isn't warding enough".

I was playing Elise support to see what it's like - but had a sightstone I was constantly using and a control wards out all game. This didn't stop my mid and jungler from yelling at me all game for not having enough vision.

And then when I sold my sightstone at 35 minutes to make room for my full build - while we had 3 enemy inhibs down and Baron - mid lux goes "can we have your nami support, at least she buys sightstone"

Pretty sure the only things Jinx loves are guns and explosions, and she feels bogged down Rocket Launcher and Machine Gun's insistence that two firearms are enough to keep her satisfied.

Not that this is really the crux of your post or anything but late game it's actually probably most important to have your wards out because if your team just gets caught with it's pants down in the jungle there's probably enough time to just run it down mid and end the game.
