Man, we lost hardcore, but dat damage as support. Wukong was fed as hell. It didn't matter even if I could get E, R and Exhaust on him.

7 games in a row, Jhin has been picked or banned in ranked. It really is Ezreal all over again.
~10% pick rate on champion.gg so far, I guess it can be different in your local elo. Only 51% winrate though. I wonder if he'll enter the meta soon.
Hmm. I guess I better ride the Naut train as much as possible.
Slated for buffs on pbe too. Almost a certainty if those go through I'd imagine, though they said the faux snare on his ult isn't likely to
I imagine the earliest we would see the new champ is the same day as when a new PBE cycle is starting. Maybe next Tuesday.
Ooooo a theory on reddit i really like. Remember the Bard cinematic? AS's egg may be what bard was protecting
Turrets? I destroy mountains...
that'd be cool
i kinda wish the game's narrative was a bit more straightforward and instead of teasing so much they just made flat out story
that's why i liked the bilgewater stuff so much, it's just ok "these characters' stories are moving forward this and this way"
i enjoy that way more

Well I did pos a long ass time ago that Bard went to summon Ao Shin :V
I'd like to say they're moving more In that direction with these events but at a rate of one every 8 months to a year it'll take a while
I don't blame them and understand that it probably takes a while to get the kind of quality they want out of them but still
Also though I probably enjoy the crazy theories that sprout up surrounding the teasers way more than the teasers themselves
Hey guys, I'm trying to learn new champions and master the ones i'm playing but i'm not finding any sites or guides on the net about what i can do to get better mechanically with the champions by learning few playstyle pointers or mechanical nuances. is there a site like that? I use champion.gg for builds and stuff but it's just pure statistics. nothing with written content that's substantial. help?
It's so hard to find quality written content. If ur lucky for niche champs a really high elo otp has written a guide but even then it may be outdated and idk how you'd find it. Maybe check reddit as they often get posted there. Best I can say is YouTube for high elo streamers (I like the channel tekk personally) and hope they have good commentary. Better option is just spam them in norms, good match up or bad, until you get better, but that's time consuming and not always fun
yeah i get that, and this targon thing is not finished so can't really complain, but if someone asks me the bilgewater stuff is the template they should use for future lore stuff
like new champion, exciting new rework, new aram map and new game mode with unique items (i didn't really play it much but i loved reading about the items lol), really cool new skinline and retcons that respect the old lore and push it forward with actual events that happen like "right now"
it was awesome
There do exist some high quality guides, look at the recent guides by TSM at solomid.net. Using the Lucian guide as an example:
There's also detailed information on what to do in different matchups.
There are quite few of these, but there should exist a couple of other high quality guides on lolking and solomid.
I forgot one thing.
You can probably find some info on https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool
High-ranking champion mains do AMAs on their champs occasionally and there should be a lot of threads that discuss mechanics.

nah use coop vs ai :^)
Besides playing a lot, I recommend finding a high-level streamer you like in the role you play. On the micro level you can just watch their play patterns to see how to execute stuff with the champ, and on the macro level just watch the decisions they make. I watch a decent amount of Dyrus for top lane and Aphromoo for map movement and rotation. The only problem is keeping in mind that they're kind of trolling a bunch of the time.
you dont seem like a cocky ass who pretends to be humble to me
If you don't know what you should be looking for then it's easier to read up on it and then learn to actually implement it into your playstyle rather than discovering it which can take foerver.
To be honest, almost every guide I've ever read for League was bad. Even the guides written by very strong players don't necessarily do a great job of communicating the stuff you need to know about a champion.
To start learning a champion I think you mostly need to know two things:
* What the purpose of this champion is in the game. Like, what are you good at? What's your win condition? What should you be building most of the time to do those things?
* The super basic vanilla play pattern for the champion. Almost every champion has one or two straightforward interaction patterns that they apply, which flow naturally out of their abilities, and then the rest of the game is mostly learning variations on that basic pattern.
Examples:
* Renekton's E->W->Q->E.
* Syndra's E->Q->R.
* Alistar's W->Q or Q->W.
* Caitlyn's trap->auto->Q. (Not a perfect example but I'm bad at ADCs.)
You can probably just figure out the play pattern in game but it can be nice to know it beforehand because you're going to execute it like a hundred times so you may as well learn it.
Once you know that stuff the rest is just, like, a hundred years of tiny details.
nothing cocky about my ass these days for sure
I honestly think this is best for practicing mechanics. I noticed a huge improvement in my use of Ekko's W just by screwing around in a custom over the weekend.
...these days?

I did not recognize you without your Xin avy heh ^^;
Xin is dead to me (until his rework). Now there is only Ekko.
And Elise, Skarner, Nautilus, Sion and maybe Sejuani.

Yesterday I was supporting an ADC who must have just hopped into ranked after hitting level 30. He said he was in placement games and by the end of our 30-40 minute game he had 98 last hits. I think I would've been a lot more frustrated if he hadn't listened to me about playing safe and not trading because after we got double-killed by the enemy Lucian the lane was tear vs BF.
Here's the game:
http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2112144592/37035443?tab=overview
If memory serves, the reason the enemy team lost that game was at least partly because they were playing it like an ARAM. They took down our mid inhib and then just kept pushing mid instead of other lanes, even though our entire team was still alive? I don't know. It seems like the enemy team builds were questionable aside from Lucian?
Edit: Now that I see it, they also didn't buy any pink wards.

Tried to play Garen but this guy picked him first.
Not sure wtf happened. My team just seemed like they were on the dummy bear trip.
I'm so sorry

Hory shit this is the scariest thing I have seen. Wtf.
Says the guy who learned everything from god damn Chauster.
Play this a lot in normals
Its pretty fun. Your basically a Yi/Xin Zhao with a shitton of CC to lock opponents down and give them no chance to counterplay.
To be fair his first clear is pretty slow. Doesn't really matter though since most people play him top these days.
It's not. It's average relative to all junglers and slightly better than most other junglers in his class.

Is Corrupting Potion bugged at the moment?
