play video game in draft pick and go nuts

I think what Im looking for is a like guidelines for what to look for. I can earn the feel for how to do that in draft, but if there are things I should be thinking about or doing to improve my skill before I hop in and either relearn some stuff from scratch or internalize a bad habit it would be nice.

Like a guide on good warding spots and what makes them good took 30 seconds to demonstrate what took a bunch of matches for me to solidify on my own.

I mean I once carried my team through a teamfight against an Elder empowered team as Karma by spamming ult boosted shields and keeping everyone barely over the execute threshold.

in an ideal world the true hype support moments would be killing enemies 10x as rich as you by making GBS threads out 10 gigatons of cc, doing 0 damage, and cackling madly as they die helplessly to your team
but riot has decided that non-anemic cc isn't allowed to exist in the game so the only cool things left for characters to differentiate themselves by are damage potential and number of dashes (e: also heals and shields but both of those should be removed from the game)

the only characters who can kill in the duration of their cc are ones who still have a 0.5 second stun or some poo poo like everyone else but just happen do do 90% of your healthbar worth of damage in those 0.5 seconds

What? One name? Who are you, Seal?
I had a bit of a fever dream that there needs to be a Kool-Aid man champion. Probably a jungle (maybe support). His passive would "Make It Go Further" where he gains bonus speed while being in river from watering down the Kool-Aid.

Skills would include, "Stains Never Coming Out" as an AOE splash damage shot while in the damage circle, "Pure Refreshment" where on a high cool down he can heal himself for a high amount or ally for a lesser amount, and "Sugar Rush" where he gets a speed/attack damage buff like old Nunu.

Ult, of course, would be "Oh Yeah!" where he literally crashes through a jungle wall or other obstacle (like Ornn's E or Anivia's wall) and stuns and damages all enemy champs in a cone on the other side.

I don't care if it is balanced or the kit makes sense. I really just want to pilot Kool-Aid Man around and listen to him scream, "Oh Yeah!" as he bursts through walls smashing fools.

i like reworked gragas, he's a good champ that should be in the game, but frankly taking away his identity as "highest scaling burst mage in the game" is loving tragic. having a big giant drunk guy be the most powerful mage in the game gave league a thing to set it aside from apex legends or mario 35

it sucks that plays dot tv is dead because i had a ton of hilarious zilean clips on there. the best is when i sped up a goon to send them very swiftly and immediately to their death.

i should play zilean more i am really good on him but whenever i lock in mid lane i just want to play kled or sylas

He's just about as bursty again, now. Just difficult to get enough AP to oneshot entire teams anymore.

I'm guessing it's a mix of using her w, poking with e and taking cosmic drive and maybe ludens to get movespeed every time you hit with a skill. I can see it being annoyingly uncatchable and her trying to poke you down in lane but does it accomplish much afterwards?

AP MF builds used to work but they really don't anymore. there's people also building loving manamune on her, which is really bizarre, considering essence reaver just got buffed and it's 100% better on her.

It's one of the pro builds from what I've seen because the tear can be a starting item now (for 400g which means you get an extra health potion in lane) and lets you use the E with Comet more often to make the poke more vicious, plus finishing Manamune before your mythic is preferred so you can finish stacking it as quickly as possible. Same basic idea as Imperial Mandate Ashe who also builds Manamune.

I mean I guess? Her lane poke is already really ridiculous with double up and Galeforce is still stupid good on every ADC. MF can also use Kraken Slayer and Eclipse really well, and Collector/Essence Reaver/IE are all SO GOOD that building anything else just seems like holding her back.

LCK just had a game where an AP Gragas just completely blew up the enemy ADC in the blink of an eye. He still does that.

Oof, they removed Karthus Q buffering without mentioning it this patch, it actually dumpsters him and tanked his winrate by over 7% in all roles, when I first tried him this patch I thought my internet was having issues because it felt like I was playing at 1000 MS with Q's not activating constantly and basically acting like their cooldown went up by 50%, then I googled and found out they did him dirty this patch.

As a long time Karthus player, I recommend anyone avoid him until they fix that, felt awful to play.

All these builds you guys poo poo on I see regularly in ARAM. I guess since they "work" there people are trying them in SR. Mandate Ashe is fine but I still think AP MF/Twitch is a meme.
