The only ADs I'd call shit right now are Trist and Vayne
Kalista has CC and utility at least. You can see top players accomplishing something with her. Lucian is just bad damage. Might as well be a troll pick.
I agree that it gets better, but at least Kalista still has these tools. If someone is really good on Kalista I think they can make things happen in games still. For Jayce...still probably viable but most of the playerbase will probably move away from him.
Hello guys.
Very very new to the game. I have only played 4 PVP games. 2W - 2L.
Today I just got rank S+ with Garen 11/0/10
One of my teammates said getting S+ was amazing.
After googling around it turns out this is what everybody wants to get, right?
Well, I can say I am hooked on this game.

For some context on the S+, that shows you how well you did compared to the average Garen in terms of a number of metrics (minions killed, KDA, damage done, etc.). I assume that's around your level but I don't know. But it means that you did much better than other Garen players at your level.

pls don't go
I haven't been playing much LoL apart from the odd game here and there.
When I do play this is the kind of stuff that happens in my normal games

I never get satisfied playing Trist. Even at 6 items my attacks don't feel like they have any power to them. Could be just the general attack animation.

It changes very little about why Trist is a trash pick
Ok so I've got 6300 IP saved up, time to decide on who to get next.
I play mid and support mostly. I was thinking I'd like to get a melee mid champ, recommendations? Which is the most fun to play as, in your opinion(s)?
Also was looking at Ivern, so I would have a jungle champ for auto fill who's still pretty support-y...

yea that's a very relevant nerf
like, being able to oneshot ppl like this (old video) was pretty silly
i'm still confused why his winrate is so fucking low. he's got a bit of a skillfloor but it's hard to believe people are so shit at him while zed and leblanc do much better
maybe it's a scaling thing, but cassiopeia is doing fine and anivia is one of the best performing midlaners
it's weird
and seeing zed have such a high winrate kind of makes me want to try him again
specially now that leblanc is gonna be nerfed
tho i could just play midlane quinn
Played my soloq match of the day as Yorick (laning against a meh Ekko) and did quite well. Beat everyone by about 130 cs (345 at 39:12), rotated often (due to Ekko mostly being a non-issue) to take a total of five towers, two inhibs and two dragons, and overall played in a way that felt like I was actually contributing more to the team than just "winning" my lane. Of course everybody else not feeding and the enemy jungler being pretty meh helped, but it felt great when I realized that hey, maybe I could actually take mid down while Ekko was busy pushing top back and the rest of the enemy team was busy fighting my teammates down bot.
It's cool how Yorick's ult allows him to take dragons pretty easily on his own, and is pretty likely to leave the spirit thing at high enough HP to still be a threat in later teamfights or to go take objectives. I still don't like the idea of leaving her on her own though, since the extra damage she affords you is pretty necessary due to Yorick being an immobile champ.

it's the skill floor
at high elo play ryze is a terror in his current form
everywhere else, unless that ryze player is good, it's alot harder to pull of his combos
ok

Mind blown. I didn't know this compared to other players.
Played a game as top Urgot since I thought I was going to lane against Jayce (he ended up being mid, with Nasus top), and did okay (got an S!). I can't deny the carries were adc Quinn and Vi, though, but I'm happy with my performance (I bet I got an S because there isn't enough Urgot play data to assert who's actually good at him and who isn't).
Still, does anyone know what kind of build I should go for with him? I just went Tear first, then boots (tabi since Nasus, Jax and Lucian were all auto-based), then triforce (since I can really abuse sheen with Q), then a defensive item so I could tank a couple hits. His ult range is really underwhelming at first, but even then I got to use it to prevent Nasus from taking a tower (bought us some time so we could finish him off before the tower went down from his Qs) and secure kills on stray enemies when I had a teammate nearby.
I've still got to work on my non-existent roaming skills, but I'm kind of happy with how I'm doing for still being relatively new to toplane.

"Vincent, we're sorry you just spent 4 minutes looking for a Ranked game because (no exaggeration) 7 games we found you had a player decline, and 1 game went halfway through draft before someone dodged! To make all of this frustration and irritation better, we've decided to autofill you to Support. Enjoy!"
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
-Deep Breath-
So, how's everyone doin' tonight?

Support used to be my main role. I've just grown to really despise the position.
