If you see someone lock in Lux, or Nidalee, or any number of un-traditional supports, 9 times out of 10 you need to dodge, because they aren't support players, they have no intention of playing support, they don't want to be there, and they're going to waste what little money they get trying to build damage items and just be an extremely gimped carry. There's arguments there for Lux support, but most players aren't picking her for the binding, shield, and free brush vision.

Feel free to up / down vote or w/e the gently caress their system uses. Malzahar is one of my favorite champions and I really want a new skin for him, but if Riot shits out a hipster skin I will uninstall.

I was going to, but I had wasted my dodge earlier by dodging Clarity + Exhaust bot lane Lux. Also, one guy kept repeating over and over "I am an Alpha Male" and locked in Sion mid.\ Edit: That Lux was in loving Gold, jesus...

I never said GP was terrible, just that he's not very good. He doesn't offer his team much outside of AOE, so if that's what your team comp needs then by all means give him a whirl. EDIT: I suppose I'll concede that he does good in lane and he's a great lane bully against most melee matchups. d0grent fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Oct 30, 2014 |

Also is Gangplank any good at jungling anymore?

Riot needs to stop denying Gangplank's true nature and give him a wizard skin. He is a man who fires a magical gun, eats magical oranges, and orders his magical pirate ship to fire magical cannon barrages anywhere on the map because of magic.

For the most part the issue was massive discrepancies between skill on each team as far as I recall. There were a few diamond players on one team, one all diamond team, and some other assorted way-higher-than-silver-bronze fellas that typically obliterated the lower ranked guys and it generated some controversy. I mean that comes with the territory of allowing any goon to participate but I think for the most part everyone enjoyed it. I distinctly remember a SC2 tournament where I played against Broomzerg or Stik(both very extremely good SC and SC2 players) and getting utterly annihilated and being so badly disheartened I stopped playing SC2 altogether, so I definitely can get when people got angry. But something like a mystery gift for everyone ain't a bad deal! Servaetes fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Oct 30, 2014 |

Janna ult will reposition anyone in the middle of a dash. (She's really good at making Lee Sin a sad panda.) I hadn't thought about using it to cancel Lantern though that's sweet.

I love playing with my friends because it allows for games with Poppy mid and Nami with BF sword, Triforce, and Atmas. Even better when those games are total wins. I wish the servers weren't making GBS threads themselves so I could check the post game stats.

So hey, goons who have figured out Azir. There any way to beat him in lane? Cause uh So far every time I go up against him it ends with me losing both my midlane turrets and crying and ending up super behind, even if I do better or go even pre-6. He just hits a point where if I go in to poke, or trade, or whatever his soldiers straight up hit me for half my health. I can't seem to find a safe way to get around to hit him. I'd rather not have to switch to maining a different lane just to escape him. It's annoying when I go into a teambuilder to practice or learn a champ and end up against someone who clearly knows enough about Azir to just end up beating me, and I'm kinda worried I'll start running into him in ranked too.

Play an assassin with a good gap closer, let him push the lane closer to your side, and have your jungler gank him. Or if the jungler doesnt come, wait for him to put down a soldier and then jump on him as soon as he uses his Q to reposition the soldier. If you time it right, his W is likely to be on CD and if it isnt, he can't dash far without his Q up. Keep doing this until you can 100% all in and kill him. Zed is very good for this.

Well that's a new one. Lost a ranked game because the jungler dc'd mid invade because his computer decided to loving auto update and the invade led to both solo lanes getting poo poo on. We then lost bot lane to a gimmick AP Shaco support and sealed the deal. And at 5 LP, Silver 4, there goes any hope I had of advancing this season.

Not booted mid-game, but the client was kicking my friends out after our game. I would have hit level 29 in my last match but the exp for that game wasn't applied (yet). Also, roughly how many games do I need to get from level 29 to 30? If it's doable I'll attempt to rush a rank before the 11th. I was in this same exact boat last year on EUW, except I didn't quite make 30 in time for the cutoff.

But now that I think about it, it was pretty much a disaster logistically and people accused him of rigging the teams and it kinda just sucked. Goon tournaments are a Bad Idea
