Until we get a female martial artist champ, I think Lee Sin players would appreciate these two tracks in their playlists.

On Teambuilder: Pretty great, though waiting for a support (unless you plan to play support yourself, of course) is horrendous. Far, far less toxicity on the part of your teammates, offset in that it did come at the cost of the server AND the clients going kablooey.

In EUW it was the junglers who were non-existant.

And who didn't see queue time disparities.

Also, what blatant trolls have you seen? I saw botlane Marksman Mundo.

Most things were looking for support, but I saw support Kassadin.

Well that's one way to get around his bad farming in lane, slap a goldgen item on him, harass with Q's and then roam when you hit 6.

[Not saying support Kassadin is a thing ever. But it's better than ADC Mundo.]

[triangles]

I've played 3 games, and they were all held up waiting for jungle (though for 2 of those I was support so :V)  Got to see jungle Vayne, Nidalee, and I want to say Vel'Koz all pass by,  On the other hand, my game today was up against "marksman" and "support" Heimer and Teemo.  I guess it's easier to just call yourself one of those if you want the chance to do a kill lane and wait for a team that's cool with that.

We tried to get a game in last night, but people were dodging we think after seeing MJP's top Urgot selection :ohdear:  It's somewhat legit, and I'd rather put Urgot going bruiser asshole in a solo lane than bottom with anyone not named Soraka.  We'll try again tonight so ~who knows~

Seriously I can't wait for this to stay forever.  Even when we get whooped in a teamfight or things aren't looking so good, since everyone's playing who/where they want to it's one less aggravation factor to get salty over "omg u shuld have let me mid"

Man this is giving me flashbacks to when I played WoW "LF2M CC and heals H-MgT PST"

Join the club. Urgot is a bruiser ANYWAY, not an ADC.

Final support GP tally: 6 wins, 3 losses (5/2 if you don't count games which were 5v3s due to people never connecting)

It was fun times.

[theshirn]

I had a support Irelia in one game, but it was a 5v4 so it's hard to say much about it.

god almighty

god almighty

he pulled this off in the LCS too :V

> Decide to do my placements after god knows how long
> Teemo never connected
> Malzahar grabbed smite and jacked jungle from Singed last minute
> mfw playing mid with support masteries as Lissandra vs Kat
> Vayne somehow got 12 kills, and proceeds to crap on the fact that we were winning teamfights and splitpush top, repeatedly dies to zhonya Kat
> Not loss prevented

i am so fucking done

On a side note, just played Sona in the first time in forever.

1/0/15, landing every R and Flash R, getting Vayne fed against a Caitlyn. They surrendered when I purchased a Talisman and an Ageis in the same back, and already had a Crucible.

This was just past 20 mins in.

On a side side note; I just got Viktor at last. I like playing Viktor on freeweeks and like to think myself as pretty solid on him. Main thing I like about him is Gravity Well. and the impact of his R in a teamfight.

When you're fed, get a fist. It's really fun. Let me 1v1 the jungle Pantheon.

[triangles]

Hahaha laning against Singed with a Lee Sin jungler as Quinn is hilarious.  Where will I land after a vault?  ~nobody knows~  Except wait I know it's always where it would be least useful for me to wind up :V

Team Builder matchmaking is funny.  That last game had more people under 30 than not, some were definitely leveling another account and some were very much legit level 20-something.  Maybe it was getting desperate for a match because I was playing an "off-meta" champ but still.  If nothing else, I hope I taught at least one of them rookies that you do not want to pick a 1v1 fight with Quinn, and you REALLY don't want to if she's got a 4 level advantage  :ohdear:

[Raikaria]

Waaaait a second.

Why were you and Eym having a discussion about how to pronounce my name anyway?

I can only be assured that you were speaking good things about me. Or at least not being mean if you were saying bad things.

I was comparing you and a co-worker.

i was playing with eyem last night and he was streaming. hideki started watching

so i was like "oh no now i gotta back up all my shit talk on the forums"

then he mentioned you and i forget what he said because he pronounced your name something like "raicurry" and i was like wat

[Raikaria]

I don't really class anything Eym says here as 'shittalk' tho.

I am not petty enough to class opinions and statements I do not understand or agree with as such. Especially when it comes to Eym talking about Rumble since I full well know Eym is a better Rumble player than I am. [Although I still hold that The Equalizer is one of the worst 1v1 ultimates in the entire game since the loss of impact damage, against any champion with mobility. It's godly in teamfights, of course. Always has been. And I still feel the loss of impact damage lowered Rumble's skill ceiling.]

I mean I'm good enough on Rumble that I don't ever horribly lose lane and just transition into teamfights if I do fall slightly behind in lane, and I consider him a comfort pick, but he's not exactly what I'd call my 'main' either. [Seeing as I main junglers and supports]

Trust me when I say nothing anyone says here even really bothers me. I've seen much, much less civil people when I disagree with others. [And ironically I'm usually backed up against those sorts of people.]

[Widermelonz]

i don't know how to deal with xin charging my ass when i play rumble, help

idk what eyem would do but i'm pretty sure you can get away by using your w after he charges and pegging him with e

Eym

[ And I still feel the loss of impact damage lowered Rumble's skill ceiling.]

It changed it. It used to be based on initial aim which is actually overall easier than the current 'have to hit skillshots and lead his ult up correctly especially against people that can jump off'.
The other one was MUCH easier imo.

[Aba Matindesu!]

with good reaction time, yes

a good xin will pop q and hit a minion once first

good xins hurt

if he activates his q and attacks minions first then back off? you can at least force him to engage in your own creep, restricting his mobility and increasing his damage taken

The way I see it the new one is less easy. The new one you onlt have to position to be as biug os an obstruction as possible.

The old one you had to position to hit people AND to be a good AoE DoT.

Basically one of the objectives was removed.

Let it be known I played support Vel'Koz before the Koreans.

Edit:

My S4 Lulu record hasn't been looking so hot. Let's remedy that.



I accidentally burst heal harder than a Soraka with my Lulu.
Also I accidentally had a competant team with Lulu. That's not supposed to happen in ranked.
Strangely enough the midlane was our AP Maokai v Nidalee. Maokai won.

Also hilariously Yi tried to gank bot twice pre-6. Blowing Ghost.

Being Lulu, I just pressed Q and went 'lolno'.

You know the enemy team is fed up with Lulu when they chase her halfway across the map and ty to focus her down first in a teamfight. One particularly funny moment was a literal half-map chase by a Darius where I kept stopping and waiting for him because he's so hilariously easy to kite.

===

And it is with sadness that I feel I have to post this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/209ogj/league_scandal_must_read_source_by_former_pro_adc/

Korea is subject to match-fixing. When the whistle was blown some player attempted suicide.

Edit: And of course, the matchmaking gods githeth, the matchmaking gods taketh away, as I have a firstpick Talon mid who somehow feeds a pre-6 Morgana, a Rengar who forces Kennen from AP top to AD bot, giving us a full AD team against a Dr.Mundo, and a Trundle Jungle who chases a Vayne under botlane towers TWICE to suicide to her [And we were winning bot hard!], and seemed to only know how to go fowards and charge at the enemy.

I think that's the most reports I've written for a while, Talon feeding, Rengar refusing to communicate, and Trundle feeding...

And yet despite this I end 2/4/11. *Sigh*. My biggest mistake? NOT DODGEING after the Rengar pick.

[EyeMtheStron9est]

Oh  yes.

You should have listened to piccolo at champ select after you saw that you had 4/5 ad champions.

I greatly miss team builder. I only got 4 games in about but it was on demand Katarina mid.
I didn't bother trying to on demand a Kata support as that isn't close to normal for people oddly enough.
My katarina is back up in power again though I feel.

Also, if you are afraid of your enemy (mainly cus oh no challenger! Oh they are well known!) you are putting yourself down and making yourself play worse if not dramatically so.
I had a team that was 7/0 and we lost against 3 'good' teams because people's mindsets were not there when they saw who we were against.
Obviously everyone should be hyped to win at all times anyway. Even in champ select it sounds a bit bored and uncaring.
Sad d:

I ran nine straight games as Gangplank Support in team builder.  People were surprisingly okay with it; this might just be because since Support (and Jungle) were the roles everyone was usually waiting on, they were willing to take what they can get.

Support Katarina sounds like the most horrifying thing and you are a monster
