Rengar OP.
I gotta start playing Morg soon...she's one of the few mids I haven't tried yet and she's cheap as hell.

They should have a champion with an ultimate that lets you assassinate their summoner.
So you would get permanently disconnected from the game.
Riot would make mega bucks.

Someone already made it, but it is a custom skin, so only you can see it.
Cool, though last time I tried to use custom skins, my champions' arms disappeared lol
(also, six loses, fuck randoms...)

Wow.
That would be even better.
I'm imagining a League of Legends anime where if you lose you die in real life. I wonder if the team chat would improve under those conditions.
Morde just goes straight to penta.
no lol

Runeword: tf adc?
Runeword: are u serious?

I finally got to try Viktor, though it was on ARAM.
Is his laser borked? Sometimes, the laser visually doesn't even travel. In those occasions, sometimes the laser hits where I wanted it to hit, sometimes it doesn't.

YAY IM NOT ALONE
Yes, like I said, it's a mix. If your keys tend to stay stuck down for a long amount of time then it might make a difference, but having the ability to show range indicators might be worth it for some people.
Yet the other diana went 1/7....

Carry game

Due to the client being terrible I lost a lot and it seems my teammates have been downgraded

To be fair, Wingsofdeath is known for his Riven. Probably the best Riven of those listed.
As far as Riven is concerned, she has a solid early game and can snowball well into mid game. She goes down in usefulness drastically late game, however, and she's pretty much just bad without good farm or kills. She needs items due to her scaling and missing out will really hurt her so early setbacks will really hurt her.
...which gets to the bigger problem, really (and the actual point the OP made). Top lane is a very decisive lane. Early leads tend to be all that matters for controlling the lane and shutting out the opponent entirely. That's really why the solid bruisers (Vlad, Kennen, Irelia, Riven, etc.) get chosen a lot: Unsafe picks lead to losing the lane hard so the first side to choose a top lane needs to pick one that is hard to counter. Since that champ is hard to counter, the proper counterpick typically doesn't exist outside of a purely skill matchup (or some 6:4 slight edge sort of thing like Jax v Riven).
This is why the Korean meta has shaped itself the way it has though. Top lane is more or less left to itself and bot/mid are fought for the hardest instead. Basically the opposite of the NA meta.

wingsofdeath was a very big rager back in solo-queue days before he went pro
we played a lot together and seeing him now in stream he is so much more mature
it's awesome playing with someone then seeing them go pro, really neat stuff

Sometimes you just have to take a sanity break
Riven is the only balanced character in game, every hero should strive to her!
Didn't play 8 straight matches, I've been just losing every single time over the last few days. Good thing Dark Souls is released the day after tomorrow...that'll cheer me up...

Karma is the most balanced champ in this game.
Also, for the first time in like a year I've hit sub-100 IP.
Feels bad, man.
edit:
pew pew pew pew

Bye for a couple weeks, BadGAF. There are no win of the days where I'm going.
How ominous.
Don't tell anyone but he's amazing.
And Viktor's laser has been broken forever now. It still travels, you just can't see it.
So I joined a normal draft game. Everyone on my team was arguing over positions... so we decided on this
It didn't go half bad...
I got a quadra kill at one point, and we might of won... but had some bad organization late game... people getting caught out by diana. Was fun as hell regardless.

Please tell me you guys managed to steal a baron.
People (at least not me and some of the other posters) were judging from the initial PBE, watching live streamers, not videos. I didn't even watch the Rengar vs Lee Sin video.
Rengar was changed (or at least his item was changed to be less powerful) since the PBE.
Jayce is the best recent example of people whining in my opinion though. I don't remember for sure if lots of GAF people complained about him, but lots of people seemed to think he was this incredibly unstoppable force who did tons of damage (tm) with QE and always had enough mana. But then he turned out to be an interesting, reasonably balanced champion and the forums of the world magically went silent. He hasn't even been nerfed or buffed in patches that I recall.
Just another day of LoL.
I held the position that he had good damage but that was about it. The gap close is easy to play around and too many people are trying too hard to utilize it. I haven't seen many jungle Rengars but I'm not sure if he offers much there besides using his ult to gank ... which isn't enough to matter late game from a jungler, really.
He got a slight buff recently in removing the awkward swing delay on his Hammer R buff. Other than that, he's relatively balanced. He's a really strong harasser in lane though. Cannon E>Q can hit pretty hard and he disengages really well.
Should be noted SaintVicious is probably talking about Rengar from a jungling perspective. He might be one of those characters that can jungle, but is a better top laner - like Jax or Riven. Looking at the Reddit thread, SV apparently said that Rengar is a champion that needs to snowball to be useful, which makes him an inconsistent competitive pick. Sounds like he might still be an alright pubstomper.
Haven't played as him yet, and the only Rengars I've seen have been jungling and haven't had much of an impact.
Edit: More Rengar feedback from Doooooooooooooooooom (the guy that popularized jungle Maokai):
I think he's overpowered top lane... max e first, free zero mana harass, when you hit 2 just melt their face with Q if you can get to them.
dunno why people are maxing Q first, it only adds 25 damage per rank plus a small amount of attack speed. Q is perfectly good as a 1 point wonder.
I think there are better junglers though, his clear is a bit slow.

I'd say he's even worse as a top laner. He has a scary Level 1 all-in but the leap is practically a non-issue. Baiting the Emp Q is easy for champs with a CC / good escape and his damage outside of Q > Emp Q is minimal. He has decent pursuit but his only escape is really Emp E. At least his Emp W lets him sustain in lane, I guess?
Edit: Well, I guess you can escape with his R since we had one do that last night on a gank. He does have impressive burst if he can land Emp Q > Q ... and then do nothing the rest of the team fight. I still think he'll be better jungling where he can at least gank lanes to build his item and you can GP5 into something to help you assassinate carries (and/or tanky items to go with his +60 Armor/MR W).
I was wondering how R>E>W|Q would go for him. That's the one thing I wanted to try for top lane before I decided I'd regret him as a purchase.
