Super Librarian posted:who are you banning? the only non-jungle ban I usually even consider is yasuo and that's just to stop a teammate from picking him Yasuo and Camille if I'm top lane, Blitzcrank if I'm supporting, Ahri if I'm mid.

oh yeah, I always forget about ahri because I somehow never see her in my games anymore. I want to actually see camille in-game to get used to playing against her, and as a support main I hate strong junglers more than any support I'd lane against I am so sick of 3-5 people diving bot tower

Blitzcrank is a good ban statistically in silver/gold, he's got a high win rate and fairly high play rate

Should I be building Redemption or Locket first on supports? Does being able to actually use the Redemption passive affect this decision?

Junji Eat More posted:Should I be building Redemption or Locket first on supports? Does being able to actually use the Redemption passive affect this decision? no, though it is best on champions that heal and shield for sure. The item straight up is ridiculously strong and should always be built first on every single support after you finish your combined Ward/Support item in this patch.

Finally played Shyvana (for the first time ever) in the new jungle and uh, that poo poo is disgusting. While my opponent was a dubious jungling champion at best (mordekaiser), by the time he had done buff > camp > buff and was ganking top I had full cleared my entire jungle and was ready to countergank. I proceeded to dominate the entire goddamn game simply by full clearing my jungle and maybe some enemy camps before ganking whatever lane I was near and murdering everyone. The jungle might need to be nerfed.

Basically it gives too much exp and gold to fast clear/AOE junglers. So if you are one of those (hec, shyv, shaco, vi, etc.) you can dominate pretty easily.

I was playing some normals, they banned both Lee and Eve, my two recent "gently caress around in normals" champs, so I decided to try out Kindred again (I played a lot of them before they changed... everything about the champ) Then the loading screen started and I went "wow why are there diamond players" I was in ranked it did not go well, at all Don't play Kindred. edit: to give some more context, Kindred back closer to release was a high-early-damage champ favored by pros and high-Elo players; you could invade and duel people, then you fell off late. Think Lee/Nidalee/Graves, that sorta thing. Eight hundred nerfs and mini-reworks later, they're a farm-until-late jungle carry, which is my least-favorite kind of jungler to play kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jan 3, 2017 |

Played Ziggs botlane for the first time. Was against a Caitlyn/Ivern lane with Sion as my support so I couldn't safely get a good push going early but god drat late game Ziggs ults are so much better than trying to auto-attack in a teamfight as contributing goes.

Shiphtur was talking about this on stream today, saying he would prefer most mages in the botlane as opposed to an ADC. Having an AP with damage and CC in the botlane actually makes a lot of sense, it allows you to have Yasuo/Zed/Riven stuff like that in solo lanes without destroying your damage balance. Ziggs is obviously the best version of this because of his tower pushing, but I think there are other mages you could do it successfully with.

There are currently enough Zigg's "ADC" games to list him as the highest win rate ADC on op.gg. Amusingly Warwick doesn't have enough games to be classified as a champ that exists in LoL currently.

Came across azir in the bot lane with a zyra backing him up. I couldn't even go near my loving caster minions without losing half my hp. Also didn't help that Lee slipped the bans and wouldn't even let me farm under tower

Crazy Larry posted:There are currently enough Zigg's "ADC" games to list him as the highest win rate ADC on op.gg. Amusingly Warwick doesn't have enough games to be classified as a champ that exists in LoL currently. That's hilarious. ADC just feels kind of garbage. You do basically nothing in the early game, most do very little at one completed item, and some don't even get going at 2 completed items, needing 3 or more. Then your effectiveness is staved off further if the enemy team invests in some health and armour. The only point where you're undeniably strong is late game. Throughout the game you're prey for assassins, tanks, junglers, and sometimes even supports depending on circumstances. Your job is to auto attack a bunch but that's only going to happen if you manage to dance between the raindrops enough to evade basically the entire enemy team gunning for your rear end. That's IF your team can and will peel for you. It's just a very hopeful role, barring a few standouts. That's not even getting into the circumstances that create the bot lane gank festival.

Orv posted:I would argue that as a Malz against a 5-0 Shaco, existing on the map is overextending. Follow up to this, I just had a Shaco purposely sacrifice his clone to the Malz ult, and place a box behind Malz so he got feared back into the box triangle when the clone died. Smooth motherfucker.
