Indeed, I cried a tear of joy whenever I saw Sona being played.
It's better having Janna as the top support than when it used to be Sona with the crazy success rate. Sona doesn't lead to anything interesting in team play beyond the ult. At least when you watch Janna you get tornadoes, the slow, and the ult as a good metric for skill.

Sure from a viewers perspective that's fine. I just personally enjoy playing Sona more than any other support.
Complains the meta is boring to watch, plays the most boring support... ????
Not sure how many others went, but I just got back from IPL4 and I can easily say sitting VIP and talking to all the Pros all weekend was incredible.
The crowds were nuts, talking with the Riot staff, IGN staff, everything makes me so proud to be a part of this community.
You guys fucking rock!

Anivia is mine, I practically only played Anivia from level 10 until I had been 30 for plenty of time.

Numu. I rarely play him now though cuz he needs a team that knows wtf to do.

Kassadin, first one I put a lot of effort into learning.
As far as 1st champ, that is Corki.
How hot was that Riven chick in person? She had an Ada Wong thing going last night. HAWT!
Ezreal.
Lux for me. I remember I would stack Mejai's on her and snipe fools. I thought I was good at this game then, lol.

I exclusively played AP Nunu stacking Kage's picks for a good long time when I started out. I believe his ult did even more damage at that point in time and not as many champions had good interrupts and Banshee's had a shorter cd, so I would win almost all my games. Those were the days
Nunu is still one of my best champions if I can find a good and willing AD, his attack and movement speed control are ridiculous in small skirmishes.

Don't die.
Buy wards.
Be nice.
Also, there are much better sites for guides than Mobafire. Solomid and LoL Pro are both excellent sources. I recommend starting out by picking a certain champ you happen to like, then play that champ a lot as you familiarize yourself with the mechanics of the game. Reading up general gameplay- guides can be very beneficial.
When you've reached to a point where you feel confident with the champ of your choice, it's a good idea to then pick up another champ and learn that one. It's generally recommended to have multiple champs in your roster, one for each role.
This, if you are leaving with more than 75 gold, buy a ward or two.

I don't play anymore, but I can tell you the three things that I remember being hugely important when I was learning.
- Learn to last hit/farm creeps.
- It's OK to 'b' or run away (also, especially at first, do NOT be overly aggressive).
And probably the most important...
- Get at least a basic understanding of your opponents champions. Random example, if you don't know that Anivia has an ice wall, that "lolharass" can very easily you get killed.
that ice wall often miss and the enemy block them from pursuing you :3
Jarvan's Thunderdome is the best for screwing over himself/his own team.

Use it only to kill, secure a kill, or to separate your team from theirs.
There are other circumstances but...
Basically, never use it to initiate. My Jarvan play took a drastic change for the better when I realized that.

E-aa-Q-aa-W escape rinse and repeat.
When going in for ult E-aa-Q-aa-R follow target then W if needed.
As for last hit have flat ad marks and quints.
Masteries 21/9/0
Last hitting should be no problem
lol wat?!
anyways... I dont think i'm doing too bad.. My games show gradual improvement
Note: the leave was cuz i had to take my gf home
is there any guide to when you should recall? Is there a quick way to gain MP? especially as a melee... because after being alive for a while i start running low on it.. Especially after E Q combo's
And i noticed that the guy said to do E aa Q does that mean 2 attacks in between then Q?
I have been hitting E then immediately smashing Q
And i noticed that the guy said to do E aa Q does that mean 2 attacks in between then Q?

aa = autoattack, so E, attack once, then Q was what he suggested.
There are items (and potions) to regen mana, but the usual strategy early on is to not use abilities TOO often so you always keep some mana in reserve for fights, unless you are in a position to go for a kill.
It depends on your role on the team, but I prefer Frozen Mallet over Trinity Force. The health bonus plus his passive makes him extremely hard to kill. Throw in a Wriggle's Lantern for survivability and you got yourself a happy monkey.
Rest of the items are situational.

Nope - either when you have enough money to buy the item you've got in mind, or when you need to. Like I said earlier, learning when to 'b' (recall) or run away is imperative to improvement. I used to play matches with my brother, and would always tell me that I needed to learn to back off. He said I wasn't aggressive enough when I needed to be, but too aggressive when I was in no position to be. And he also would 'b' at times where I would have farmed a little more, but he always did better than anyone else on the team. It's all about personal taste for things like that.
Certain parts are learned through experience. But build orders, items, and masteries to meet your style are available all over the internet.
You shouldn't spam your spells that much. You should always save enough mana for a combo+ult because those are very important to have.
The best times to recall are when you've pushed the minions to their tower and its unlikely that you will get any minion kills there.
OR when you kill your lane opponent and either: (1) their wave is pushing, but will not reach your tower soon OR (2) if your wave is pushing, push it to their tower then recall.
In a DOUBLE lane, you can go back whenever one of your opponents are dead and you have gold to buy something (provided your partner stays) OR you've pushed it right to their tower.
EDIT: oops, didn't mean to make a new post.
To make it more valuable, let me add a random thing. The support role has to be the amicable one that keeps the team away from each others throats and focused on winning the game. The times you have to do this are pretty darn stressful because people are so unpredictable. Just had a mordekaiser who kept getting ganked by the opposing jungler and getting owned by enemy Riven and started crying and yelling at our jungler. "I'm just going to afk at tower if you don't come help". Seemed like a pretty unreasonable guy. It was pretty tough to make him calm down. Highlight of the game: telling my team the correct objectives to take (group up to take mid then top tower because their ad carry is bot) and have them actually listen.

That regrowth pendant is bottle-necking the amount of sustain you could be receiving at the start of the game.
Right now you only have 150 effective health (thanks to your health pot) at your disposal, with an additional 3 health regen per second. It takes 50 seconds for your regrowth pendant to recover the same amount of health that a single health potion can do in 15 seconds.
If you opened with, say, cloth armor and 5 potions, you would have 750 effective hp at your disposal, with an added bonus of having a defensive item that can be built into cheap and effective mid-game items, such as Wriggle's or Ninja Tabi.
tldr: Open with cloth armor 5 pots and build wriggles.
The Trinity Force is good in my opinion. Some folks prefer other builds, but in your situation (what with you having no runes and limited masteries) I think building up to Tri- force after wriggles is an optimal situation with your Wukong, as he benefits from every stat it provides. After that, your itemizing becomes much more malleable. You can opt to be your teams tanky bruiser with defensive items, or a more damage- centered heavy hitter.
Just a heads up you have 10 more hours to send a pm.
There is already 42 people signed up so you can get a feel for your odds
Codes are region independant btw. So a single code can be used for both NA and EU.
aa means two regular attacks??
Auto attack yeah.
Ah, okay, but not a specific count. I though Nimbus-Attack-Attack-Crushing Blow-Attack-Attack-Decoy
Ah, it should mean just one "regular" attack/auto attack. So E, regular attack once, Q, regular attack once, R, etc. Never played WK so I'm not familiar with his combos.
