You don't have to try hard in ARAM's like you might in a ranked game. If you are going to build random items you should probably tell your team that to see if they are comfortable with it.
But if you intentionally build items that do nothing for your character or team (ie Abyssal on Wukong is basically flushing gold down the toilet), then you are essentially condemning them to a poor fate.

Dude that new Nid looks sexy as fuck. After she gets redone she'll be mine fosho.
Keep in mind that for some people, winning is the only way they can have fun, no matter what they're actually doing.
Yesterday I got flamed uberhard by a Soraka in Dominion for not building straight tank as Amumu. The level salt surpasses anything I've ever experienced in HoN, DOTA and LoL.

She's still a very solid AP Mid that works well in a lot of team comps that need a diving-in sort of burst. She has a good laning phase and takes advantage of a lot of match ups (notable one being Katarina's nightmare in lane). She has good enough wave clear with her Q and passive and her roaming potential is rather high as well.
Also, the moon.
I really don't think the slow and CC reduction are that big of a deal. Juggernaut at the end of the tree right now is already giving you 3% health increase and 10% CC/disable reduction. Costs one point. Now you buy in for 4% health and 15% CC reduction for six points.
I think it's less about the defensive tree being great, and more about the offensive tree being pretty shitty.
After a quick glance at the trees, they all look shitty to me.
Edit: by this I mean that the only exciting mastery is artifacer (artificer?) and it sucks to see only nerfs as changes to current masteries.
The critical strike ones is pretty amazing. Best one in the tree. The slows and cc one being lower in the tree means more offensive characters can take advantage of it, without totally investing everything in the tree. Something I might do with riven.
The offense tree is stupid imo.....

I can't seem to find any information on this.
Will tomorrow's patch contain the new season 3 stuff including Nami and Nidalee VU?

your right, i forgot s2 masteries and now when i compared season 3 seems to be worse.
at least the utility seems to be nice now for supports.

10% reduction on critical strike is a big deal, considering that most damages from ad carry are critical strike. 5 damage reduction from champion auto + doran shield mean a lot of melee champion that were weak against range in top lane finally had a chance to do something.
Offense mastery looks the same as the old one, the only difference is spellsword, and the only thing I missed not going 21/0/9 is the 5% bonus damage at the end. Then again the 10% attack speed after crit is pretty fun too....
Utility is the only one that's gimped to hell, 10% cdr on summoner and the 15% cdr on item activate shouldn't be in the first 9 points. The useless 3% spellvamp is bury too deep into the mastery instead.
Offensive mastery is shitty for anyone that isn't an AP mid or ADC past 9 points.

Join queue, call top first. Next person picks chogath ten seconds later, "Top or feed". Ok someone left queue, dodged that bullet. Next queue, call top again and pick. Next person decides they're playing voli bear no matter what so support voli, someone leaves. Join queue again after waiting a few minutes, call top. Next person "top or feed". GG league you've actually convinced me not to play you before even joining a game.

The curse of solo queue.
I hear not really, that you're better off just buying the champion you want.
Good reason to learn all roles.
I'm going to do that today. "Zed or Feed."
TY.
Pretty stupid if you ask me.
In ideal situations for range it'd be 6gp10,10gp10 for melee. I'm guessing it'd average around 1gp10 if you're lucky.
The funny thing is that these people are often terrible so it's basically just "Feed or Feed". Or its rare cousin "Throw or Feed".

Longer version: you're fine to buy it if you feel like you want something right away (sometimes you just need 2k IP to get to that champion or rune page or whatever) and you'll get a nice amount of IP, but it's not cost-efficient in the slightest, specially compared to buying champs outright with RP. Still, for 3 bucks and an afternoon of LoLing, it's not really a bad idea.

Its not so much that as the general community being complete garbage. I stop playing for a few weeks and forget about the shitheads you have to put up with to play this game, just not worth it.
All communities are garbage, you just gotta wade through it until you get to the good stuff.

There are plenty of gaffers to play with in the NeoGAF channel.
Put it in perspective with everything else. Pickpocket is one point for 3 GP10 per auto attack for Ranged; Greed is four points for 2 GP10. It's an absurdly efficient mastery. Even at, say, four total auto attacks a minute, that means it's still as good as a single point of Greed (12GP60 or .5GP10). Utility offers a lot of bang for your buck masteries at the start of the game and generally improves gold flow.
Likewise, Spellblade in Offense is very efficient for APs and Frenzy is the same for ADCs. Bruisers get fairly good returns out of 9/21/0 where you can enter top lane with something around 50% Damage Reduction, Slow Reduction, and Tenacity.
AD Assassins feel the worst off at getting something out of Offense (hard pressed to go beyond 9, 12, or 14) but they still benefit greatly from being allowed to lane safer. This does kind of put them in a weird state of going the bruiser mastery route but, hey, this does help them out tremendously in lane for trades.

Pick order > call order
Well comparing it to greed which sucks hardcore isn't doing it any favors.
To me, past the laning phase pickpocket does shit. I'd say 4 procs of it per minute is being really really generous. I think greed might win it out by the end of the game. (need 40 procs to beat 1 point greed in a 40 minute game).
Spellblade is amazing I agree.. last hitting won't suck so hardcore on aps anymore.

If only more people understood this.
I can't count the number of games I've had where people get angry because they didn't get their called role when they were last pick and then proceed to intentionally troll the team.

I see it as more of a request than anything. If you get it, then good. If not, then roll with the punches and go from there.
Good thing no one asks for support.

Yep, I kinda figured it would work out like that. I have around 30 champs, and have a list of like 10 others I want to buy (sitting on around 2.8k RP atm + 7k IP) plus runes and all. It's just the waiting for a sale thing why I am even considering this, but in the end for the amount of time I play it doesn't seem worth it.
Thanks again.
But you need to come back for a chance to make me feel like a rageblade. And I haven't jungled ever since you left.

True but it's the easiest comparison: Both are GP10 masteries.
Pickpocket isn't meant for beyond the laning phase. Greed will eventually win out (or at least be more useful) but Pickpocket is meant to reward Supports that auto harass in laning phase by getting them more gold to help them get their big support items (or other GP10 items) faster. Considering how small most mastery points are (many hover around the 30-ish gold mark for effective value), Pickpocket can reasonably earn 2-5 (or more) times that. That's not too bad for a single point.
Edit: Whether Pickpocket is worth the investment into Utility that deep is another matter, I suppose. Personally, I think it is. Getting 50-150+ gold out of it isn't a bad thing.
This basically means a Support having an extra 500 Gold via Greed, Wealth, and Pickpocket in a game. Combined with the extra 3 passive GP10, that's basically an entire full item extra for them. And that's before factoring the potential benefit from, say, Sightstone.
The truth.
I try to respect what people have called but if I can slip in a champion like Malphite or Morgana I'll do just that.

I thought that too but I've had multiple instances where entire teams have told me to switch because "he called it first". So now I call it
Hey! Any gaffers on EU-East/Nordic? Been playing league for half a year now, made it to 30 and mostly enjoy trolling the enemy team with Karthus' ultimate.
Solo queue is unfortunately losing its charm...
If there aren't any EUN players, does anyone know of any places to find players to play with? The LFG in-game hasn't been very helpful, unfortunately.

This Order > Call is great and all if everyone is able to do every role and have appropriate champions. That's rarely the case. Snagging someone's top when they called it might fuck over your team more than just letting them have it. Some people just play highly specialized (which is stupid but they do), and snubbing them cause they're last might not be in your best interest.
