I never thought of all these other ways it could be taken before. Good guesses but so far no cigar.

Ugh. Just had one of my most epic early games I've ever had as WW, yet my teams bot fucked us over by going a combined 0-13. Started out on a normal jungle route starting at Blue. Ganked top once (it was an Alistair), he pushed me towards his own turret giving me room to attack him longer, but he flashed away. I went back to the bush, he pushed up again in 10sec, and I ganked and got the kill on him giving us FB. I managed to get a really fast 6 with that FB and getting wraiths + some minion xp. I flash gank mid giving our Malz another easy kill. I go back, with enough gold for Wriggles. I get our Blue, head over to their blue, place a ward down to catch their Xin doing it. Smite steal and ult onto him for another kill. Then I move towards mid again Malz ults mid and I manage to turret dive their mid enough to kill him.
So in a span of about 3min I get 4 kills for our team, and this lead us to getting first dragon as well. Unfortunately this was all for not, as our bot was feeding hard the whole time, while pushing hard. Their combo bot (Vayne + Soraka) ended up carrying their whole team to victory pretty fast afterwards, and once team fights started they had 6 different ways to disable my ult and we couldn't focus anyone because of an Ali and Soraka making it impossible.

I notice you mention nothing of going bot to assist

SO pretty much confirmed. Guinsoo thinks red buff needs a change so instead of slow, red buff will give haste. Not exactly sure how I feel about this. Makes some junglers weaker and ad ranged weaker.

Those jungle changes are the biggest overhaul I've seen since I started playing last August.
I'm trying to keep up with the thread but Guinsoo keeps being downvoted so I think he'll leave it soon. I really wish we had more info.
I didn't think people found farmfests so much fun, it's the boring part of the game to me actually.
Having roamers is no different from having stealth champs, or a TF/Noc/Panth (pre-nerf). You have to play cautious, have to buy wards, have to pay attention to the map. It's not fun to play competitively unless you get a kick from tryharding.
I don't think Riot wants a metagame where one player can mean the difference between a victory or a loss. Junglers, by the very nature of their role, are players can can tip the scales one way or another.

Panth was bullshit, but nerfing him to the point where he's useless is also kind of bullshit.
I don't think Riot was really thinking about balance from a competitive standpoint when they designed TF/Panth. It doesn't take a pro to tell you that the ability to turn a 2v2 into a 3v2 from anywhere is difficult to balance.

Riot is talking about Monkey King and his abilities on stream after the current match.

HoN's monkey king abilities are pretty cool, tho I do feel it underutilizes his robust power gallery
LoL's king will either have nimbus as part of his model or as his ult I feel (just like HoN's)
knowing riot if nimbus is ult it'll probably stun if you ram into someone or something

I can't even start a game, now it says the servers are busy...
What I think Riot's Monkey King will be like:
Passive: Monkey king moves faster after using a skill.
Q: Skill shot that can stun or slow depending on how it hits you.
W: Passive attack speed bonus. Activate to get a movement buff.
E: A leapstrike which heals you for some reason. Gotta make him jungle viable!
R: An AoE that has nothing to do with your role as a tanky/dps whatsoever.

Denying sucks

Those who missed it - he's a melee DPS:
Passive: Gains MR + Armor for each enemy champ nearby (think Irelia's passive but MR/AR instead of Tenacity)
Q: A solo strike that reduces the armor of the target
W: Turns stealth for 1.5s, leaving a copy of himself. After a while, copy explodes and does AOE damage. (looks kinda like LB's passive + Shaco's ult)
E: A ranged attack involving Nimbus, hits up to three nearby characters.
R: A spinning melee attack that looks like Garen's spin.

Thanks for the malphite tips. Finally won a game and was semi-helpful, like 6/4/9. I felt like it was a pretty even fight, but we drove them all the way back by the end. I still died 2-3 times versus groups of 3-5 people when I was pushing lanes by myself. I don't know if they were roaming to kill me on purpose or if I was just unlucky.
By the end I think I had Doran's shield, ninja tabi, that frosty-looking armor, thornmail (argh yi), sunfire cloak, and at the very end I bought some cross-looking magic defense item but we won pretty much that instant around 45 minutes in.

Reading Guinsoo's stuff on changing the Red Buff (Which to me always felt a bit lackluster, it is nice but no where near as useful as Blue Buff) and changing the jungle timing, I like the way a new jungle sounds. Its a shame he is being harassed by the people on the official message boards.
My question is how far out are these changes. Few patches, server months, post Dota 2?
Edit: Oh, RiotVeonneth answered the question, months. Got it.
Edit 2: Hmmm, maybe there is hope for some new maps soon. Also, I think Riot may really go with the idea of making Flash a short term super ghost.

In these games I find out that I play an amazing support Sona and Support Caitlyn.

TBH when you are pushing solo, you can expect to be ganked by 3+ people. Place wards and DO NOT engage a fight. Run back to tower when you see them incoming, slowing them down if possible. Usually your teammates will run to the rescue while you hold them off around your tower. Almost nobody can win/survive fights against three people.
