I dunno, Shen is still amazing but I've found that the shield disintegrates like alka seltzer in hot water now.
Or maybe I just had a poor game.

I don't really think there is a best tank. Shen definitely has the best pure tank skill set, but Anumu and Malph both have better damage output and engage skills. While ones like Blitz, Alistar, and Singed all have some nasty counters to really mess up group fight.
Jav turned out to be a pretty solid tank too. Good Harass and his ult is great for pinning either squishies in, or the other team's melee. Allowing your team to really light them up.

I'm definitely noticing a correlation between my win/loss record and whether or not I play Janna. I really want to mix it up, both because I want to be versatile and be able to switch things up when my team needs a different role, and also because playing the same character over and over again can get boring. But I can't shake the feeling that I'm putting my team at a distinct disadvantage whenever I try someone new out. How do you guys solve the problem?
Shintoki's Win % with Janna(Before I took some time off)
Ranked: 70%+
Unranked: 80%+
The reason why you feel at a disadvantage when not playing Janna, is because Janna is a true team carry. It's not that your other characters' play isn't up to snuff. It's just that Janna is truly that dominating at the support job. All her skills get solid ratios+have multi effects and usage. She can drag out a teammate or two from a lost team fight. She can deny ults like Kat, Ken, Galio, Anumu, Nunu, etc. Her natural movement speed puts her top tier, where only characters with temp boosts can catch her.
If you are looking for characters with similar play. Lux is the closest I've come with a feeling like her with solid results.
If you're looking to just adjust to other characters. Go play unranked. Just play who you want regardless. Games aren't as demanding or annoying(Still a bunch of assholes), but the only way to really adapt is simply too play. Expect to lose a lot and take a lot of crap. You'll go far then.
Or be like me, accept it and keep playing one character at a time.

there is a reason why on the pvp.net forums janna is called the goddess slut of assists. long ranged AOE knockup, a very solid AOE knockback, and a damage absorbing shield that gives you AD...no other support champ has a set like that. the closest is alistair who has an AOE knockup but his knockback is a single target nuke, and his aoe heal cannot even compare to janna's shield.

People really don't understand that you can't let Nasus farm ever.
Getting + 300 on my q 25 min in is never good for the other team.
I would go as far as saying that outside of veigar, hes the last person you want getting minion kills. Nothing is better than getting a chalice and boots, then buying a Trinity Force straight up next time you go back.

Awesome, a Kayle rework upcoming in a few weeks. Scheduled for the patch after Vayne's release.

Np man. Glad we won. Epic Baron steal
You are welcome. 
It sucked Uchip had connection issues, my jungling wasn't as effective because I had to babysit bot somewhat. The epic heal and poke combination of Kayle and Karma was a pretty effective composition.
It was a good thing that J.Rizzle won his lane because losing all 3 lanes would have been terrible even with a non-ganking shaco.

It's fun playing against a Nasus, even more so a very well farmed one. It doesn't matter how your Q takes off. I'm never going let you touch me. Played as him so much, I know exactly how to handle him. Turned out to be a pretty good luxie game. Got about 7-8 kills catching their squishies, few solo combos, and most importantly. Kiting their overfed Nasus around like a bitch. He got pretty smug there mid way through :O

Yeah, that was embarrassing. Sorry dudes. My games tend to be either me getting into a groove or me just doing really poorly. The next game I did pretty well, had an epic Jarvan/Malphite combo going.
Glad we won, though. After the rest of the team gave me some breathing room I was able to at least contribute with some tower kills and trap set up.

Purposefully making an alt account to beat up on newbs isn't exactly something to brag about. I understand you want to play with your friend, but undermining the matchmaking system isn't the way to do it.

I'm just here to gloat. Starting the game Renekton and WW laughed at me when I said there should only be one person top when someone jungles in order to secure dragon on bottom, then as the game progressed they said o.o, best ali ever, wtf, he knows how to use his skills etc. it was funny.
I demolished! it was so funny going 4vs1 and just killing everybody and coming out alive with half health *removes tear from eye, good times.

No it makes a lot of sense because otherwise that new player is playing against a level 30 with 300 wins under his belt. No point frustrating new players before they even get a chance to learn the ropes.PedroLumpy said:

While someone with an Alt account does have a wealth of experience and is a bit unfair, it's a better alternative than having someone with a level 30 account/full set of Tier 3 runes/full Masteries.

GAF Win.
Good couple of games tonight. I have no doubt in my mind that if that Ez didn't afk we would have carried our way to a victory with better coordinated fights and skill and farm.
Which is basically what happened with the other game. No offense FlightOfHeaven brother, but your highschool friend didn't play too well lol.
