that jax change is loving stupid. that has basically no effect on him late game or early game, so it just messes up his timings slightly. maybe they think he's too good in the jungle because he's a garbage top laner

first 99 lp post of the season:


also gently caress assassin meta, it can gently caress off to mid season 3 where it loving belongs. lb is a perfect example of how that meta is loving dumb and bad for the game
"oh hey im gonna use my flash-ability on an 8 second cooldown then hit two buttons and take you to 25% hp, then blink back into the middle of my team with little to nothing you can do about it"

gently caress off

assassins are fun

jugggernauts are fun
jax is fun

j4 was my go-to last season because he had basically the most undeniable assassination in the game if you wanted to pop an AD carry but the popular laners now (malphite/tahm/fiora/poppy) all make his life loving miserable. irelia/jax/renekton/shyv of yesteryear were a little more even. also hydra and tiamat loving suck to build as laning items

shen/riven are both pretty miserable as well. havent seen a GP as j4 but i imagine thats not so bad

so i've been playing ranked a lot more recently, but entirely not on purpose

i made the mistake that because the ranked queue is now positioned where the normal queue used to be (automatically selected the moment you press play), i just played a bunch of ranked

i legitimately enjoy relaxing and having a nice game of league and not taking it seriously while everyone else is just flipping poo poo

imo if you're playing solo a lot you might as well play ranked. mute people if they're freaking out. you'll get better competition in general. its pretty easy to not care about rank if its the only thing you do



1: leave olaf alone
2: dont bother olaf
3: dont cancel auto-attacks, olaf, you piece of loving garbage

(really the thing that saves me here is the level advantage, the only item i had was a tiamat)

its a shame that olaf isn't really a viable top laner, he's so much fun if you get ahead

I've been learning top lane this season, and it's generally been a lot of fun. However, I really have no idea how to handle a strong ganking jungler getting up in my business. The thought is that I simply hang back near the turret and farm, but that feels like it puts my opponent too far ahead and I ultimately end up losing a lot of farm. It's made a little worse by playing Illaoi who needs to bully early, but still.

Any particular recommendations?

illaoi is an outrageously bad top laner because of this. play a better champion or just... lose lots of cs i guess

as for general top lane advice, do NOT do this

Please tell me how to gank top as a jungle because they always just run away :saddowns:

who are you playing as? walk behind them and start autoing them and then use the abilities

the single most important thing about ganking imo (ignoring dives) is to hold your abilities unless they arent going to respond (like flash cocoon). you can gain a lot of ground by saving charges, stuns and whatnot until they've flashed or dodged themselves into a wall

How Rude posted:

best real answer: Lissandra and Morgana top are both strong in that they give 0 shits about her lovely harassing gimmick and can outpush her and pressure her extremely hard at level 6. also pretty strong picks against dives once they hit 6. also provide fantastic TP ganks to bottom lane and have a ton of CC to stop her from doing poo poo in fights. if your jungler ganks for your lane and you picked one of these two champions then Quinn turns into a walking sack of 300 gold.

quinn can completely zone both morg and lissandra. you're right, that once they hit 6 they can translate that into being useful, but quinn straight up out damages lissandra at a similar range

if you make a pick to rely on your jungler, at least do it with malphite or nasus or something

Thankyou all for your responses, I truly appreciate the effort that went into them, but advice on who to pick into Quinn is difficult to take on when Quinn is the one being picked into you.

Also thankyou Nyandaber Z, I shall take your words to heart and hopefully dominate stupid ranged bird champions in the top lane.

the point is, 'pick quinn' is legit advice against most melee top laners, so nobody can really tell you how to do well in a lane thats hard from the get-go other than "get cs and dont die"
