League of Legends |OT10| Botlane Was A Mistake, It's Nothing But Thresh

So... this happened.
Match began well and we got to the midgame with quite a hefty advantage, but eventually the Yasuo top went afk, and the game slowly began to turn in the enemy team's favor. We all had so much gold we didn't know what to do with it, which is why both Leona and I bought into non-support builds. The enemy team lost Twitch after a while, but they had all reached level 18 by then (way way later than we did), so it wasn't nearly as much of a disadvantage as losing Yasuo twenty minutes before that.
Seriously, what the heck was that match...

Kalista's got some gains too.
He went 5 deathcap at around the hour mark for some reason, but was doing perfectly fine before then. I take the deathcap hoarding is bad because it's better to get other items that give you different unique abilities, right?
We were doing perfectly fine until Yasuo left and the opposing team took advantage of their superior numbers to slowly gain the upper hand. The grind towards defeat sure was depressing, as we were winning teamfights at first, but didn't capitalize on that advantage, doing badly on objectives until we gave the opposing team enough time to bulk up and fight back with a full team to our four.

u probably could have won if brand build an actual full build instead of stacking unique passives (which doesn't work.)
rylais, void, liandries, zhonyas, deathcap, ludens i guess.

Funny thing is he had that exact build until the 65' mark. By that time it was obvious we were losing, so I guess he bought all those deathcaps just to fool around.
Here's the link to the match data, just in case anyone cares enough to check it out: http://matchhistory.las.leagueofleg.../254440594/202175303?tab=builds&participant=3

is it different really?
that's kinda cool at least
I really like jungle ekko but man, I have no idea how to build him. Tanky is nice but I do so little damage. Full AP he's way too squishy. I've tried a little mix and its OK but not great. Still doesnt do a great deal of damage and without full tank he gets blown up quick still. Maybe he's just not a great solo queue jungler ATM.
Zhonyas seems almost necessary too. Else the ult is really tough to use.

I'm not a jungle expert, but I'd say he's fine for solo queue- you just have to go in with the mindset that you don't have to worry about damage because your utility is what will win games. By going Cinder, Frozen Heart, Zhonyas, Randuin's, etc, you can focus on setting up plays for your team without the fear of getting massacred, and that fear is reduced x100 when your ult is up, and his ult is probably one of the most annoying in the game because it makes him so slippery.

It's true. You climb the more you don't try to climb. I made it from like Bronze III to Silver II by just playing sparingly. Now that I had free time from schools and wanted to climb, I've been playing a lot the past two days and still remain in Silver II. I'm trying super hard to just think about my own improvements. Sometimes it helps, other times I forget.
Well compared to the other Sirens at very least, lol.
This role isn't for the weak of heart.

Screw Tristana. I have lost many kills because she can just rocket jump out of engages.

Fun fact, Janna has had multiple massive nerfs to her damage and general AP scalings over the years. Annie lost -5% on some of her ratios which were subsequently buffed to be stronger than pre-nerf numbers.
I'm glad Riot has their priorities straight.

I did it once with Braum but the cooldown for my ult was too damn high.

It's not the laning and teamfights that I find stupid (Still, fuck TP) , it's just that I feel like if I don't play Jinx or Vayne I do nothing for the team. Caitlyin for example feels weaker than a fucking cannon minion.

I'm gonna fire up Naut more.
Yep sustained damage is necessary

They're good at sieging
Nah, ADC isn't really weak in terms of damage, it's just weak in the fact that the ADC doesn't really have that much control over how they do overall in the game.
ADC is just super dependent on the team right now. More than its ever been.

They kill towers good
Ah, thanks. All of those reasons make a lot of sense.
So the carries pretty much need an entire entourage around them in order to not die or (safely) take objectives. This entourage can either be a luxurious limo or a broken down lemon. But regardless, they're one of the best for killing multiple enemies when not checked, and nigh mandatory to destroy said objectives.
With that in mind, I'll make sure to put forward extra care for my ADC even after laning ends.

its all part of ritos plan to make ad carry an unpopular term and to make marksman the go to.
The problem with ADC's is that most can be shutdown so fast, but you obviously want that balance of them being able to deal shitloads of damage and still be glass canon. Its a difficult problem to deal with and interesting to see how Riot handle it.
Meanwhile, Annie support is just hilariously broken.

It's not a difficult problem lol.

I know riot classifies "TP" as a movement spell - it's not - and putting TP in the same group as flash and ghost will always put the balance of the spell out of whack.
TP is the only 'macro' summoner spell (CV and Clarity don't count) and ideally, Id like to either see other macro spells added to complete with TP or just remove TP add it to a boot enchant since it doesnt even belong
Of course, Riot must be conteplating removing TP as a SS since it was an item in the bligewater brawl already
