It feels like this season is more of a grind than the last couple season starts. Almost everyone dropped a whole division so you're fighting just to get back to where you were to begin with, but against people you were matched against before the reset anyway.

I'd wait to do placements until a month or two into the season.

I played Nautilus mid and I think it's my new go-to this season over Malphite/Zac since they take a lot longer to ramp up now. Had to go tanky because we had Teemo/Pantheon/Sona so no real tank, but up until I had to go defensive I was like 4/0 at some point. Early wave clear on AP Nautilus is amazing so he can push up and roam and beat the snot out of any other lane he pleases because he has so much CC. He feels good as a hybrid tank, so I think full AP Nautilus would be a (deep) terror to deal with.

Alistar's E is very strong gowby it's one of the stronger sustain abilities in bot lane and it's attached to one of the tankiest/hardest engaging supports.

Anyone played eve lately? I thought she was seeing some play with the runic echoes patch, at least at high tiers, but I can't figure out how to make her work.

I've had the best luck going echoes into a lich bane - then scepter and rylais to get sort of tanky, since the early lich bane procs let you actually 1v1 people. Looks like pros go rylais first, which works, but just feels weak.

She's probably just a bad champ since her teamfight is "hit 5 people with R" and she can't trade well, but I'm having fun with her at least.
The only Pro that still plays her is Bengi who's probably one of the best junglers in the world and he's still not that effective at it, Runic Echos might push her up, I'm waiting to see who plays her when Korea and Europe get on that patch. FWIW I think she fits a similar role as Rek'Sai does, she's really good in coordinated teams because you can collect a lot of information about where people are safely, but on her own she's not a super hard carry most of the time unless you're playing against brain-dead players who don't know how to use a map.

I've grown tired of taking the selfless supports like Bard, Thresh, Braum, etc, so I've taken to doing support Lux despite goons saying it's bad. It is, indeed, bad in that you have to land a skillshot to shield your lane buddy. Lux also tends to snipe kills, potentially taking the gold from the ADC. However, I have not had a game yet where I've lost lane or even come in lower than second in champion damage for the whole game. By the end of the game I'm rolling in gold and usually end up with Sightstone and Frost Queen's, then the build is pretty much identical to mid Lux.

Maybe I'll try to climb with her until someone punishes me for it. She's so consistently good at her job(s).
You're part of the problem

Thresh and Bard have high skill ceilings. Play Blitz, Nautilus, Trundle, and Alistar. Learn their basic combos, win lane. Then go win mid lane. Then make their jungler afraid of going on the bottom side of the map.

It is a torture to try to learn her too. I'm used to Ez at the moment and I can't last hit for poo poo on her. Annnnd it feels like I deal no damage in trades, annnd if anyone gets aggressive at me I die because no escapes. Annnd I'm basically useless until I can get a Hurricane/BOTRK

Can someone who plays her tell me how to loving do it? It's driving me up the wall but I refuse to give up.
She's very mechanically intensive and you're probably not a great enough player to position her well. There's just some champions that are like that, Azir is another. You CAN play them without being great but you're usually much better off trying someone else.

I am coming to this conclusion. A friend and I had high hopes of playing the Kalista/Hard Engage Support duo in ranked and climbing a division or two from it; but it just doesn't seem to be coming together.

I think I will be better off sticking with Ez and MF as my ADC's and abusing Volibear/Xin in the jungle with my duo partner doing roughly the same but with a mid lane over ADC.
Graves/Corki/Quinn are still really powerful right now and not as reliant on skillshots as Ezreal is, and they're all a little more mobile than MF.

If you want a good hard engage lane, try Nautilus/Corki, they're never going to be winning trades.

He articulates his arguments like he spends all day in Twitch chat (which he probably does as his job so yeah) but I don't think he's wrong about anything. I opened this video expecting to kind of laugh him off because of his unique style ended up eventually pushing him out of the competitive game, but I think he's pretty spot on for the most part.

1) Laners doing camps before going to lane is lame. I hate doing it, I hate playing against it, I don't like how it is emphasized so heavily in the pro game either.
2) Locket being a permanent item requirement against any standard team composition and the entire professional meta-game being balanced around team fighting power spike of either team having or not having one handicaps both the support/jungle role's flexibility.
3) I'd go beyond Meteos and say that I think both Blue and Red Buff should be re-designed, or that there should be some other appreciable incentive to them. They've basically been the buffs for the AP and AD carries for as long as the game has existed. I feel like there's a lot more creative space that could be done with the buffs and the monster camp mini-buffs.
What if smiting the red/blue buffs "charges" up and if someone on your team kills the buff, the jungler gets to keep the red/blue buff for a shorter duration/weaker effect, if the enemy kills the buff you lose the charge. There aren't as many mana-starved junglers as there used to be but it would help the Jungler out regardless.

I had an argument with a friend over why none of the LCK players buy Devourer ever.

He said it was because they don't have time to farm the stacks. I say it's because they don't play farm-for-20-min-and-carry-junglers who want Devourer but rather ones that have Cinderhulk/Warrior/Echos and can impact the game more readily.

He was very vocal about me being stupid. He plays farm-and-carry-junglers and also is the kinda guy who will say "I can't carry this" every time we lose a game.
the biggest difference between an NA jungler and an LCK jungler is that even if both regions have no first blood until 25 minutes, an LCK jungler has been applying a lot of pressure and helping capture objectives so they haven't had time to power farm, whereas anyone except for Dardoach and Reignover has probably been wandering around loving lost for 25 minutes because there were no lanes to gank and they STILL didn't have the time to power farm.

idgi when I'm playing mid or support and I see a jungler blip on the bottom side of the map I'm over there in an instant unless I'm pushed hard into tower. At worst you end up blowing a summoner and losing pressure and at best you've gotten yourself a kill or assist.
