Now I can't play mid. Well, maybe I'll pick up Swain again.

Are there any particular graphics tweaks people use to make things a bit more shiny?
You can replace the character art boxes for loading screen with whatever you want.... like pictures of draven.

Get Draven.
How can anyone hate Amumu? Anyway, that's like 12 dudes. So there's almost 100 other dudes you could play. Play some of those?
I actually played Nunu for the first time. Holy crap he makes jungling even easier than Mundo, and he's slightly more useful in team fights. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Axis powers of rage fearful of relationship charts.
This actually bothers me. I don't rage. I've played with you once (I think?) and you lashed out at everyone in the game after your mistakes. The few times I've actually gotten angry at anyone is when they try to spin the blame onto everyone else; I don't mind admitting my mistakes but I'm certainly not going to take the blame for someone else.
I didn't even rage in that game with you.
I figured they were removing the candy cane entirely since it made no sense for her to randomly summon it. Now she summons the cane and autos it? Eh...
...well, at least the skin has new particles. Just clean up how she looks visibly and I won't hate myself for buying it.
Personally, Nunu's weakness is teamfights. Blood boil things, snowball a dude, land a good u--alright, actually, I suppose that's a decent amount of things. Mundo never dies, though. Plus, bad players tend to focus the 4k HP tank. Mundo goes where he pleases.
Then again, Nunubot.

Lux is unhatable you haters
I had a game yesterday with an Amumu who died 17 times in solo queue ranked. Against a team with 4 AP including a fed Eve (by level 4 she had mobility boots, by level 11 she had hourglass and I think a ton of kills), he built 3+ armor stacking items before building a single magic resist item, possibly because I was begging him to do build magic resist.
He built the AP half of abyssal before the magic resist half. He built I think the health regen part of aegis before the magic resist part. Our support had nearly as much magic resist as he did. After the game in the lobby he was like, trolling is fun, omg report me, I'm so scared, etc. And yes, it was one of those games where the bottom lane had maybe 5-7 deaths in 46 minutes, and the other three players had maybe 13-17 deaths each.
In regard to more important topics, GRAPHICS! I don't like more particles. Sometimes when there are so many particles in teamfights, I think I literally run around saving my cooldowns until I can figure out which glowy blur of particles is Graves so I can nuke him.
I like Lux, but my Lux never wins game.
I never really learned how to play Nidalee properly.
1)Buy Lulu.
2)Buy Sejuani.
Or, just play free week champions until you find one you like again. Pick one for each role and just practice up.

You got the best AD, just build full tank Urgot swap a random target and hope your team kills someone.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Lee Sin is the most fun to play in the game. True story
Second ranked match, went against Panth mid, and fed all early game almost to the brink of utter despair, but when Panth decided to taunt me and Lee Sin I got mad. Fortunately bot and top were doing better and took their towers, so I started making calls and we eventually outsmarted them into losing their advantage and taking the game
So yeah, fuck Pantheon, I'm sick of seeing him in every match because of ridiculously broken Black Cleaver. I think I'm out of ranked until they sort that out.

When I play Nunu, everyone ignores me so I don't even have to Flash-ult. Just Blood Boil the ADC, snowball someone, wander into the middle of the action and hit R.
Then everyone Flashes out.

I'm going to start playing ranked again. Just so I can complain some more. I'm -15 on w/l in normals since S3 patch. Seems like people are just derping all over the place recently. It's very disheartening. I used to win a lot more than I lost when I took it seriously but now it seems like I am shedding blood sweat and tears just to pick up a normal game. Might as well tryhard in ranked.
If I'm first pick, I'm banning teemo pantheon and blitz. I'd rather face all the Rengar/Shen/Malphites in the world than teemo.
I'm not sure I've even seen more than 1-2 pantheons in my own games in the last week or so, so maybe it comes down to elo or luck.
I suspect pantheon is one of those champions that AP mids are not used to playing against, however (like Zed or Talon), and it may take some playstyle adjustment to not get countered.
I'm also not sure I've seen more than maybe one decent Teemo. I played Teemo, got destroyed. I don't know how to play him well enough. Other players play him, do mediocre or get destroyed. One last night went against our team's Riven top, Riven CRUSHED him and his tower and his team.
Garath, I kind of hope you get a few bad games against a couple of Diana's or pro Alistar's with that ban selection, so you experience the joys of other annoying champions.

Blitz bans make me sad ;_;
Teemo is so damn good right now.

Eh, I'll ban Diana over Panth if the other team doesn't (or I'm not first pick). The only reason I'd ban Ali anymore is to keep my own team from jungling him. Wasted ban.
Teemos have just been destroying everything lately. They are a must ban in my book.
In my experience so far, almost every mid doesn't have an Armor page so AD Mids tend to have a bigger advantage than they should (though many AD Mid picks just counter a lot of AP Mids anyway, e.g., Zed, Talon). Then you have Cleaver's Armor shred helping them get to true damage and giving them better bulk so it's a lot harder for an AP to outright kill them. Still, a lot of the AD Mids can get free harassed early on if they lack a good 1-6 engage+CC.
League of Cleavers and ArPen changes in general, coupled with the fact that Armor is less efficient to itemize, makes this top/mid double AD a lot more viable than ever before. If enemy team picks a squishy mid or someone with a bad escape, AD Assassin all day.
In my experience with Teemo, it's more for how annoying the whole thing is. Walk into shrooms, eat his Blind+auto, watch him run the fuck away. Rinse. Repeat. It's so, so annoying. As I'm sure a lot of people can attest to with the like 10 Teemo games I've had over the past few days >>

Honestly, Alistar isn't ban worthy anymore. His jungle is worse than terrible now.
Besides, after like 6 months of permanently banned status everyone has forgotten how to play him anyway. Free wins.

So, this thread took an interesting turn in my absence.
He's worth a ban if there's a kat on your team.
"Probably don't need a gank t--OH GOD FUCKING SHROOMS AGAIN."
I might have broken down and cried at one point.
Teemo players are the sociopaths of LoL.

You don't need to guess. They are everywhere.
yeah. I'm going to stop playing him for a bit and see how it shakes out. I've replaced him top with Darius anyways. Dunking all day.
Thankfully, playing more Kha'zix top has given me a fairly safe vs Teemo pick. Fiora probably too.
Fiora with Black Cleaver + Ravenous Hydra is absolute hilarity, honestly.
Just watched Dyrus go 19/2 or something with Dairus using this build:
Tabis
Cleaver
Cleaver
Cleaver
Cleaver
long sword
I suspect the 6th slot might have been a cleaver. I could be wrong though.
Can you NA-players confirm that you have this matchmaking thing implemented on your servers? Is it working ok? I play league very casually, 5v5 normal games maybe once or twice a week and I just got matched up with/against players with 2k+ wins. I'm at ~300 ._. We did win and it was fun with a more challenging game and stuff but I'm thinking with that matchmaking remake I'd play with more likeminded/casual people.
You need to derp harder then!
I was reading this earlier and I remembered this bit just for you:
THE DONGER LIVES ELSEWHERE
Bruiser Top + AP Bot + Jungle is our normal setup when I played a lot of Elise for 3v3. So ... yay?

Seems the counter that some smart people are trying(atleast against me a few times) is switching the adc and support to top and shutting darius down while the top solos bot at turret with heavy jungle help. At first I was wondering what the fuck they were doing, but it worked. I've tried it a few times with randoms and it works well enough.
Come in ruthless. Anything that can stealth or use stuff like that gets pinks or if I'm snowballing an oracles. I played with ya and know you got the skills to try something like that. Besides oracles and teemo shrooms is free money teams fly like bait to a solo player trying to get rid of them in picking off fashion or teemo himself.
Ya I could pink up a storm, but fuck I don't know if it's really worth it or not unless all other lanes are doing fine.
Generally I just go in there and run around clearing out shrooms the old fashion way. Then try to come back before he sets up again.

Wait, what's happening to Rengar?
I just battered a Zed top by playing tank Rengar. So good.
