I am a Tahm main and I technically find fun in denying people kills. Definitely feels more interactive/risky,fun than Janna's disengage playstyle. The retreat nerf was well deserved, Tahm is too tanky to get retreat bonuses too.

tahm is shit design.
i love me some tank meta, but i still have nightmares about shyvana/mundo/renekton/trundle toplanes where literally nothing happened there for 20 minutes until somebody somewhere decided laning phase was over by doing something.
malphite is a signaled return to this meta but thank god there are things that can fight tanks now (well pretty much only fiora but whatev)
had an unofficial penta with vayne, no idea how it didn't count. first official penta was with jinx

Yeah it is fun when you cant play the game because you get cc to death.
I am so sorry, did you win?

At least you have Zhonya's and Abyssal to survive that shit, imagine being the ADC in your team

imagine being the ward bitch
The jungler?
we lost the game off a couple bad calls, we had our adc on a long disconnect but i was destroying mid and most fights started with me oneshotting cait then getting ulted by everything in the universe and then not enough dmg to finish off the other four (they had a braum too lol)
we played the game wrong, we were in a position to win it for sure
why would i want to do that
i should've bough zhonyas tbh, but we had such a shitty comp and we played it so poorly that it wouldn't have made much of a difference

And Bard doesn't use any of that powder mix either. He only messes with the real stuff.
Tahm is great! Except his ult needs more coordination soloQ than I'd like.Glad the passive doesn't make it totally useless though.
He's the first support to shake up botlane this much since Thresh (excluding perhaps post rework Soraka), and his botlane winrate is pretty fair. He's one of the only supps that can totally lock down a snowballing juggernaut or assassin by himself (the other being Lulu, but she'll get vaporized if they reach her), which is so nice when one of your other lanes tilts. And since he's so weak to poke and CC himself, it's fun to see who wins out (I totally f*cked up a Tahm on Sivir last night and Bard just now, was perhaps my best Bard game ever (Legendary Santa Bard with full support build ftw)).
His toplane winrate used to be pretty high (bad) but then the latest batch of reworks + Illimayow came out and now it's back down. I do think they could still tone down his passive effects since he already has good base damage (abet locked behind his passive and W CD). Maybe once they work on his ult they will do that around the same time.

usually the trash is on our team so this is a nice change of pace.

Yeah i love when that happens and then they start blaming you for some reason.

It's always the jungler's fault.
yeah
balance this preseason has been terrible all around
they'll fix it eventually but i really don't like the current state of things

I agree, the balancing is very weird this preseason.

Yeah no one would be angry or anything.

Preseason still needs aggressive tweaks but I'll take this shit over S5 any day.
there's like literally no reason to ever go sweeper anymore, there number of normal green wards past 20 minutes are probably in the single digits each team
with frost queens spooky ghost and blue trinket, you can suss the enemy out constantly without having to have forward vision

Meh this pre-season isn't fun at all for me this time. Played since season 2 and got absolutely no incentive to play games during this pre-season. Drakes are worth shit, games are usually over very quickly and I'm not really feeling the current meta. Hopefully it gets better when the season starts.

My biggest complaint as a jungler is the uselessness of sweeper and dragon sucking so bad now. I wish it gave global gold at least. Its a pretty low impact objective currently.

I played Morgana top into Malphite recently. Made his life a living hell, lol. At one point he was under his tower on 10% and I wouldn't let him back for like 5 minutes. Eventually the jungler came and killed me. We lost that game.
And that's my story time for today.

Rift Herald is a blessing for devourer junglers.
Today I just remembered that Championship Riven is coming back next year and that made me happy. Sure it's like 9 months away or more but it's still something I look forward to.

Malph vs all ad team is the best
Deadman+sunfire+randy is such a rare combo.
I am in silver so all people care about is dragon. I keep telling my teammates if they are at dragon take a different objective instead of trying to contest it.

Pulling the top laner for a moment to get 5 stacks towards sated is totally worth it in my opinion. Plus nobody pays attention to it since it is basically useless outside of the stacks so it's almost guaranteed to be uncontested.
Yeah Silver here as well.
and I am one of those idiots who asks to contest on the dragon all the time.

Guys if you had to choose between having dragon 5 or baron what would be the best course of action?
as in you just aced them and can have any of them for free?
probably dragon then baron
Honestly I only care about the second dragon since it gives you extra turret damage that help end the game quickly.
I actually like rushing baron early as my go to strategy for objectives.

no lol.
more like do you contest for one of them or let the enemy take one while you take the other.
