don't pick rengar, folks, especially if it's against quinn top (who then first builds that new AD assassin item)

Devourer Rageblade BorK Hydra and maybe a Spirit Visage

I know you guys hate Thorin overall but this is a pretty good video and a good reference:

* You're not as good as you think you are. Something every Plat+ player in this thread parrots over and over, and for a reason.

The problem with being in Bronze or Silver is that you have to grind way harder than you do at a higher elo to rank up, because often times your team will drag you down and waste your time. Yeah if you play consistently above your elo, you'll rank up, but the time you need to invest and the sheer number of games you need to play to balance out all the horrible teammates you're going to have just makes it feel like dog poo poo.

This is something that having just a plain elo number never had a problem with back in season 1 and 2. Yeah maybe it feels good to rank up, but when you're actively stuck in a tier/division or whatever or get demoted you feel like poo poo and just want to give up. Even if you're Diamond playing with Silvers, you're not going to get any kind of meaningful enjoyment out of grinding the 100 games needed to get to where you should be.

All the bronze or silver people in the thread, I can understand why they stay there. Grinding those games out is incredibly unfun. I got my main to Diamond like 2 months ago and I have no real urge to keep going up since I don't have anyone I can dynamic queue with. I play ranked on my smurf which is in Gold and it just feels so loving pointless trying to grind and tryhard at that elo since your team is so brain dead that you can't expect them to not throw a lead.

for every skill level there's going to be someone slightly better who drags themselves down with their lovely attitude or poor decisions, i am only in silver but i am skeptical that this phenomenon goes away as you rank up

Of course it still exists, but in general once you get to mid-ish Platinum you'll probably find that people know how to close out games more often than not. I'd say that the number of times a team in Gold throws is like 30% of the time. Diamond 5 it's like 1% of the time.

She doesn't even need to level her E, she gets so many free plants it doesn't matter, and her mana costs are low enough that you never run out of mana and if they ever attempt to move up into the lane to harass or farm, you just spawn 4 ranged plants on their dumb asses

Freelo baby wooo

You also can give god-tier jungle leashes for free

What's your build order? I used to rush Rylai's after FQC but champion.gg is saying go for Liandries first. Not sure if any of the new items really do much for her, or where to get the best CDR for your buck on her anymore.

I get the upgrade on the AP starting item and then skip FCQ and go into Rylais if we need a tank or CC or Liandry's if we need more damage

In Diamond and higher I never see people complain about kill stealing unless it's blatantly retarded how someone stole it (usually DPSing when they should stop) and no one at all ever gives a poo poo how much you die as long as you win.
