I dodge when I see Kennen top and I'm top lane. I play melee ranged tanky tops, i don't have time for this no-mana ranged spell spamming PoS with his BS stuns. I have learned to deal wit Teemo by accepting that shit's not gonna go my way for a good bit and that I should just stay chill and wait it out as I farm what I can. Group fights will come and they will see the huge mistake it was to have Teemo take up such an important spot in the team. But Kennen I just don't get where his DMG comes from or how his CC works.
I'm thinking of crossing to the dark side and picking up Vayne top just to counter pick annoying ranged match up. I mean, I fucking HATE ADC tops and I think people who play them are just bitches who want to safely AA the melee wall of meat when they're at their weakest (to either keep them weak and feed off of them in hopes that it will work in their favor when group fights break out). But I'm tired of these damn ranged top laners annoying me for half the game. Like, how the hell is Kayle even a thing? Her whole kit seems to revolve around annoying melee champs ... a heal/ speed up/ slow/ range extender/ Splash AA dmg/ Mixed Dmg/ Don't-kill-me-yet ult when you finally sit on top of her, wtf is this shit Riot? CAN'T EVEN COUNTER PICK INTO HER CAUSE SHE CAN BE IN ANY LANE!
You should probably learn to deal with them because ranged vs melee is far from a death sentence and in fact sometimes favors the melee champ

Did their Rengar do any damage?
didn't feel like it. I saw him jump on Brand late-game and he didn't one-shot him. In fact, I didn't see him one shot anyone. But he did have some sustained dmg.
p.s. hop on yo'
Taric's stun is so good. His heal and W shield seem kinda underwhelming but still useful enough. The stun is amazing though. Decent range and the delay is quite short.
It's interesting that cdr is not a huge deal on Taric as well. It's still good as you can't proc your passive all the time, but your Q is probably gonna have the same uptime whether you have cdr or not.
I just wish I had pink Taric instead of Bloodstone Taric.

I know, I have figured out how to deal with some common ones. Like Vayne/ Teemo/ Mid lane mages who people randomly decide to take top (TF/ Brand) and Vlad. But Graves? Nope. Quinn? Haven't faced one yet. Kennen and Kayle? Nope. Those are pretty much the ones I want a counter pick for in my pool. (Also confused on how the fuck Graves is allowed to be a thing in this game but w/e)
Only got better at dealing with Teemo and the mages cause people pick them so often and they don't seem to foresee it biting them in the ass later in the game. Kenen is a rare one and I have only faced 1 Graves top so far.
Sure more exp with em will net better skills.

I'll be around tomorrow. I'm too tired to deal with League atm.
I forgot that was out what's the verdict on his ult?
His kit seems really fun and unique and it seems like his stun can create some pretty funny situations
For sure
I think it's pretty good, I think it will be like kindred or bard ult for awhile where people take awhile to understand it, but when cast well it can be a 3-5 man kayle ult.
I can only speak from the few game I've played, but his ult seems really powerful. It won't do a lot against bursty enemies, but against unstoppable slower dps stuff like Olaf it will absolutely destroy him. A lot of squishy damage dealers that kill their enemies in 2-3 seconds or a slightly longer time will have a hard time.
His ult has a huge cooldown though, to compensate for its power.
Ah I was under the impression his passive still reduced his ult CD but it doesn't right? That seems reasonable then
If you can plan when you need it it's better, yeah. It's still ok for reactive stuff if your opponents are less bursty than something like Lissandra/Annie.
No, only base abilities. If you buy cdr it really helps for the ult. It's 160 seconds on rank 1.

Jhin is the most fun ADC to play against as Rengar. He's so free.

I also noticed that the higher taric's cooldown the less his passive cooldown is not a biggy if u end up stacking cdr by endgame
I find iceborn still good on him but he consumes mana like nobody's business @_@
I only played Jhin a few times, but I specifically remember once or twice getting late game against a team with a Rengar. I felt almost completely useless.
There exist Annie, Teemo and Yorick otps, of course you can do it with Jarvan.
Jarvan top lane was what got me into Diamond in season 3. Good times.
Grats dude. The first time I got to go gold I was fine until Gold 2. Then something happened and I failed 11 promo series to Gold 1 in 2 days. When I finally got to Gold 1, season 4 was over and I didn't get the border plat border. Felt bad man.

That feel when you ult as Taric and Velkoz starts his ult right as your 2.5 seconds of invulnerability happens. For the entire channel, as Velkoz was shooting that pink beam of death at me, I was like, "this is neat"

Dunno when you play but breakfasts, fuzzery, type2 and I usually have some success playing in the gold elo together. Not always at once. Personally my time to play sucks.

Eve is actually not bad at all. Just go metagolem with Runic into Sunfire/IBG/Visage and she's actually pretty damn decent.Tried evelynn last night again. She isn't in a great place
And what did they do to dominatrix Eve splash? Ugh.

I play during central time. I can play anytime between 8-12 at night. I'll try to just have my client up and running so feel free to invite me.

Part of it has to be the ult.
Also I agree that playing Jhin against a team with a lot of dive sucks. I've played Jhin against Rengar but luckily he never got rolling or my game would've been no fun.
That's what I was aiming for with my build. I felt like the Q was off for some reason though. It has been a long time since I played her..probably slower missile speed than last time.

Missile speed on Q was nerfed quite some time ago

top vayne is a thing?
A bad thing, but technically a thing I guess
My progress on Kindred feels back and forth all the time. I kept feeling like I was improving every game with Ekko during my 20 game run with him but the improvement game-to-game with Kindred feels much slower.
Having a hard time transitioning from her assassin style of play early on to a more ADC oriented style as the game progresses. Some really questionable positioning/use of Q in team fights. One really bad ultimate. I think I'll try hanging behind the line more.
I tried Warriors on her last night just to see how it would feel since Devourer is being removed and it was alright. Blood razor seems kinda weak to me. Between that and the changes to the Sterak/Maw combo I'm at a loss of how she'll be built.
Seems like blood razor will be the way to go with in the next patch. Felt like past mid-game my damage dropped off hard even though I was actually picking up most of my kills by that time.

It was popular for a month or so back in S4. It's like a shitty version of Graves/Quinn

People call khazix 'kh6'..
Figures, the person who called him kh6 tries to engage after a missed hook

What the hell are Riot thinking with that Viktor laser change? Look at how long it takes to detonate, even a bot can dodge it.
