I accidentally hit a max range fist with Blitzcrank that killed the target.

Our ADC went on tilt immediately. They went AFK and argued with our mid laner before just quitting. We were really ahead and then lost.

That's my story of my sickest snipe.

Basically, yeah. I got accused of deliberately stealing a kill. I was aiming for somebody who ran into a bush but hit somebody that I guess was recalling instead and they died.

My best kill was flashing to get a killing first-hit Double-Up on the enemy Thresh and him responding by flashing while it was midair to get close enough to his Jinx to allow the bounce to hit her and get me the double kill.

Unrelated: I don't think I've ever played an ADC that trades better 2v2 at level 2 than MF with Q, E and Doran's Shield. I'm frequently taking both enemy ADC and support to 20-30% hp while staying on 50-60% myself with my support even higher. Her single-target all-ins are still rubbish before first item, but Love Tap plus the shield equals insane 2v2 trades.

dorans shield caitlyn is really oppressive too, she loses ~kill pressure~ but she still wins every trade and can shove forever and never dies and has two pots.

other than for like, lucian and draven i really think i just generally prefer dorans shield start on adcs

Sona / Miss Fortune is a dirty lane that no one picks because it's boring but it shits on almost every lane except for Karma / Caitlyn

Windwall is huge and aggravating as gently caress, it's one reason why he's perma banned.

Peckerhead isn't used enough as an insult if you ask me.
So what champs will never be seen again with the ten bans? There'll probably be 4-5 constant bans every game ever. My guess

1. Yasuo
2. Riven
3. Fizz
4. Lee sin?
5. Blitz?

Friend and I finally decided to do our placements and resume the grind, we were low plat last season, went 5/5 (some p unlucky games I gotta say), and placed gold 5. Disheartening but since then we've won over 80% of our games and just skipped to Gold 3, we're on path to skip again to Gold 1.

Who benefits from this sytem really? I feel like we're just ruining games for the opposing team cause riot smurfed us, our mid goes like 0/6 by 10 minutes in and we still just clown on them.

Zilean support/mao jungle is hilarious by the way.

Where are you guys reading about the potential rules on 10 man ban? I assume they have a method to make champ select not take 5 years?

Forget where it's posted but it's basically blind pick bans. Everyone on both teams picks bans at the same time, and while you can't pick duplicate bans on the same team, it's possible for their to be a duplicate ban on the other team. Doing this actually shortens champ select by up to 2 min compared to the old system.

To quickly answer your second question: everyone bans concurrently.

Nami, Ashe, Renekton, Mundo banned? Obviously not real.

Pretty funny how they didn't put Yasuo in there

Also if you're smart you'll just ban out these 5:




because there's a high probabily that the enemy team will ban out these 5:



I personally can't wait to never have to see Thresh ever again, that champion is my Kryptonite

Thanks both of you, that's interesting and seems fair. I wonder if there's gonna be some kind of mindgames over assuming other team will get rid of high profile champs like yasuo and/or figuring someone else on your team will do it so you might as well get rid of some more niche pick you just dislike to lane against.

I could see it almost being more likely that permabanned champs will slip through because you can't see what bans have already been committed to until it's too late to change yours.

I'm sure some people will operate that way. I'm just going to use mine to nix my top least favorite champion to have on the other team in the game and leave it at that.

yeah thresh is a top example of a 'balanced at 47%' champion. being at 54% means he's probably the strongest champion in the game.
