I remember people screaming about Leona being busted because of her survivability and CC.

Sounds like a decent jungler with her W. Wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
I'm still confused about whether we know the new moveset is accurate or not. Why does she have art with a boar then? Or was that just old stuff?

I got good as GP solo top. Good build for him is Health Pendant ---> Philo ----> Boots + HoG ----> Wriggles ----> Frozen Mallet/Atmas. I normally get all of that around the 22-23 min marker because of the gold.

I just had the most annoying Yi teammate I ever had.
He kept whining on chat (all caps) and was so aggressive that he was suicidal. Seriously, there were a few times when I saved his ass with heals and an enemy silence and spammed retreat signal but no he decided to come back and try to kill Kayle. He got murdered because there was a Vayne tagging along then he blamed me for leaving him behind (all my skills were on CD and I'm not stupid -_-).
It got bad to the point I ended up having more kills than him before he RQ'd. He came back during the final 5 mins and basically, more than half of his kills listed came from him just cleaning up for us.
Still not sure if I'm doing support Soraka right. I try to get all gp10 items and boots somewhere in between. After that, I slowly turn those gp10 items into whatever aura items out there. I'm not sure if Aegis even helps since the passive aura seems to be ridiculously minor. Got starks since everyone was AD and was already on my way to Frozen Heart to replace Kage. I plant a lot of wards along the way.

Riot has actually showed interest in curved skill shots. They were asking for new mechanics that wouldn't break the "anti-fun" rule. I'd like to see it happen as well.
2 gp5 items should be sufficient. One of them should obviously be Philosopher's Stone, but the other can either be Kage's Lucky Pick or Heart of Gold. Get Ionian Boots and Aegis. The latter is a very powerful item throughout the mid-game. Late you can upgrade your Philosopher's Stone to Shurelia. If you have more money you can get other aura items for your team: Get Starks if you have a lot of attack damage on your team and WotA if you have AP.
Also get wards. Lots of wards. I usually start with the cheap mana regen item (for Philo), 4 wards and a health potion.
Edit: I just noticed you have 138 CS. That's a lot of CS for a support. I don't know if you got them late into the game, but normally you'd let your laning partner get all the creep kills while you baby sit him.
Aside from what was already mentioned, that Riven should almost certainly have had frozen heart instead of two thornmails, if they were trying to go solid tank. Or ideally, someone else would have frozen heart, and the riven would have atma's weapon considering they had two warmogs.
Randuin's omen could have helped against the heavy enemy AD too, and I guess that would have worked for you if you started with heart of gold.

Support Alistar is such an amazing champion. Bot with Trist and once we hit level 2, they are dead.
I don't really feel top lane is passive enough right now to run gold items. I just bully people out of lane when I see people trying to get away with that.
Your team could have gotten the dragon more than they did, and/or more turrets than they did, and/or you killed people who were worth more than their kennen's victims. I think killing someone who was on a killstreak can get you up to 500 gold, for instance.
Ya not all kills are equal value. Killing someone who's died a lot is worth alot less, as well as killing someone who's on a big kill streak (up to a 500G bonus). And then there's dragon and baron gold bonuses.
ah yeah I edited it out, I had 4 tower kills and he had none

Magic heavy teams will still rape him.
GP is sooo easy to use
My build is usually cloth armour 5 pots, wriggles and boots on first b (i'm very conservative with mana so i lane for ages), warmogs on second or third b, then laning phase should be over
I don't get why people stack gold per 5 items on gp though, he farms so well
Philo gives mana and health regen, so increases your sustain. Good alternative to latern I suppose, and you should net more gold in the long run as long as you cs well.

New champs basic attacks will apply frost as a passive ability? A free slow on all basic attacks? Am I going crazy?

so is Viktor worth the price of admission?
Isn't he free this week? (or was that last week) Give him a shot.
Gangplank has a free 10% slow as a passive too, and it stacks.
No. He's no very good and I doubt a buff will change it. Changing ratios and cool downs wont necessarily fix the problem. There's something 'off' about his kit. Good concept, terrible execution if you ask me.
I think it's because his skill cap is really high. To be useful in a teamfight, he has to hit more than one person with e(laser), his w (the stun/slow) can mess up people's positions in the fight (similar to gragas' ult), and he has to hit at least 3 people with his ult and his q.... he can do whatever he wants with it.
Problem is, noone stops to think about these things in a team fight when playing viktor. Everyone just thinks: OMG A FIGHT, and start to use every cd on one person. I think Viktor can only work as a tanky mage with sustained damage and not a burst caster. Sadly, his cds don't agree with this play style.
I just want to say I still have lots of fun playing him, the only complaint I have is his ult. It doesn't really do much of anything (in practice).
But I'll agree, he is pretty underwhelming if you're looking for an AP caster to get into. Try him out if he's free still.
Biggest complains I see is his range, and his shield activates too late on his ability. (They say it should activate on hit, not return).
The kit for Sejuani looks like it's a mix of Shyv and Ashe. Ugh, really not liking how this champ is going to play if this is how it is. It's been a long while since we got an energy based champ. Can we get one soon or something. Ahri was the last good champion released and before that was Talon which they nerfed to the ground. I'm not counting Riven since they had to fix her.
They learnt their lesson in OP once they released nocturne and vayne and had to nerf them consecutively
Too much work
Oh damn, I forgot Graves. Never mind. I retract my entire statement. However, in all honesty, Graves is way too strong. It's like they didn't learn their mistake with Initial Vayne release.
Which would you rather have (as in you spent rp on), a shyvanna or graves?
He's not very rewarding for such a high skill cap. There's something lackluster about his skills. His shield puts him in a dangerous position because he has to get close to use it and it doesn't apply immediately. If I have to use stun before going in, then I'm already halfway through my skill set and that's without scaring the enemy.
I've yet to see someone (ingame or on stream) use Viktor in a way that suggests he could be powerful. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't see it happening before the next patch.
On a related note, this post tickled my funny bone: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=19617177#post19617177
Graves but that's only because I care about winning and screwing around with friends. I can't really do that with Shyv.... Sadly.
I've gone 19/1 with him before and on another occasion made a Sona ragequit for killing her twice with the range on his E. I'm terrible in general so those two instances, along with just having fun in every game I play with him, convinced me he was worth it.
As long as people abuse Kennen almost every game Jax won't fit into the meta.
Here's your Sejuani guys: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/art-spotlight-sejuani
It's just an art spotlight.

not male, not support, do not want.
But she's riding a wild boar. A WILD BOAR.

Been thinking of maybe streaming our inhouse games or any other premades that I'm a part of. Is there any interest on this, so that others can watch us play? gonna need some sort of schedule though.
