Yeah I looked up a couple of guides and that's more or less the run of it. With so much armour shred in the age of juggernaut, I'm surprised to not see him more often. Guessing it's cos of that kinda weird ult?

His laning sucks rear end unless you practice a lot with him. He's one of the lowest damage ADCs to begin with, and if he gets too far behind, he usually stays there.

Nocturne's ultimate gives you and your teammates a clear indicator that you may be in immediate danger. He also can't instantly root and kill someone before you even know he's there. Also his early game isn't as strong as Rengar's was and his ultimate isn't up as often.

I just got buttfucked as Fizz vs Ryze. Fizz is listed as a counter to Ryze but I have no idea why--I was completely bullied and held to <10 cs til level 6. What am I missing about this matchup?

You played it wrong. Don't ever fight him if he has more than 2 passive stacks or he can really mess you up. Try to sit in your minions to draw spells from him, which will push the wave toward you. Then you can get stronger off of levels. Have your jungler gank him when he's pushed up, or just wait it out until you get a decent buy and are level 6. Then you kill him as soon as his passive has 0 stacks or he just finishes using it. If you haven't killed him several times before lategame you're probably going to have a bad time.

Well Q was always the skill that you were best off skipping and it gave him a steroid. I didn't expect the changes to be that useful but they are very promising thus far.

Also I was probably wrong about Ryze. After seeing Keane play him last night, he just split pushes and ults to delete every wave. He farmed each game until he got really strong then he would look for TP flanks. The fact that his ultimate is up all the time after level 11 makes him pretty hard to pin down, and distortion swifties with 0/18/12 mean you have a lot of map pressure and playmaking ability through reduced summoner cooldowns. I'm thinking that if you get behind you'll have a pretty hard time but I'll play a few games on him tonight and see how it feels.

Examining the champion.gg daily stats I found that Ryze has a 50% winrate in diamond yesterday over 54 games.

Bronze through plat he's 39%-43%. Maybe he's still useful as a pocket pick in very specific situations but for the average gamer he's going to take a lot more getting used to.

How is this possible in the new League of Assassins? Where are Zed, Talon, and Xin?

Other than udyr the champions at the top have strong ultimates and cc abilities that are clear indicators that it's go time for your team. That has always been the most valuable thing in solo queue. Also, riot has shown since s3 that they are willing to balance around assassins ruining your gaming experience rather than winning the game so it's not out of the question that they'll nerf the champions using dorkblade and also nerf the item

Olaf is sick in top lane if you want to counter some stupid garbage like shen. Unfortunately, compared to other toplaners, he's not very good at anything other than dueling and split pushing.

Every time I play the first game of the day my ping is insanely high for the entire game. I usually have 20ms but I have between 150 and 250ms until I restart my pc. Restarting client doesn't fix. It's annoying as poo poo. Don't have any ping issues in any other game.
