Yeah that's what I thought on Orianna, now I'm 4-4 :/
Probably, I'm just on a bad streak, I gotta play more games so it evens out, I used to be 11-3 and now I'm like 11-8 :/

Ashe is great in solo q. If you're able to get some jungle presence early and get ahead in a lane you can snowball it much harder than with other adcs. She has the second best base range of any adc (600), Caitlyn is better, Trist is better from midgame onwards, Kog with W is better and Twitch with ult is better. Setting up fancy cross map arrows is tricky without co-ordination, but it's still a safe initiation tool which screams "TEAMFIGHT TIME" to often uncertain teammates.
She just does badly when behind. Lanes snowball against her harder than other adcs because she has no steroid to help her recover. Her arrow is awesome no matter how her lane went though.

Short video clip. Just watch. The most pointless death I have ever seen.
Usually people like him end up on my team.... but not this time.

No DC from him around that time. I'm guessing he might have just been afk for whatever reason.
Was pretty damm funny to catch seeing it though.

Doesn't Annie become less useful late game?
Q too hard to land.
I don't like how Diana plays.
Prefer Kha'Zix top to make the most out of his passive.
I'll think about the last two.
Annie late game is scary, that's the other thing to consider in a mid champ. Some are safer in laning (annie or karthus are usually my champs for this) Annie is a really good late game champ because of her higher ap ratios and karthus is..... dat ult and the wall of team fight initiation.
There are champs like Leblanc who have super high single target burst, but fall off a bit towards the late game. Then Gragas is a mid i like to play a lot, his W gives him a lot of tankiness and a good amount of sustain.
Other GAFers here could probably talk about brusier mid, assassin mid, or many of the newer mid champs. I don't mid very often, these are the few that I'm familiar with. My experience in mid is usually to find what you are comfortable playing with, and expect to be counter-picked if you aren't counter-picking.
EDIT:
She has some of the higher AP scaling scales out of the AP mids. Even though in a teamfight she's only got 1 stun every so many spells.
Nah, she's good, decent ratios and mana costs, specially with her Q, good wave clear with her W, insane AoE burst and she can roam pretty well with basically a targeted stun on demand (or AoE skillshot if you want).
If you can't land skillshots you're missing out on tons of champions, but you can always try Pantheon, Malzahar, Morde, Katarina, Xin Zhao, Lee Sin, Akali, Talon, Kha, etc. You can even play Riven or Gangplank mid if you really want to, nowadays everything's pretty accepted.
Or get in with the program and do Lux and go 7-0 on ranked against Akali and laugh and laugh and laugh while their nexus blows up.
Kha'zix passive works fine in mid lane. You can just duck back to get the passive up. You don't need bushes.
Annie's late game is okay in terms of raw damage but her spell range makes her awkward in late game team fights.
She's also very boring and landing her Q is half her usefulness.
Also zero killing power late game if you don't have Zhonya's and good ult placement.
But Ken also said Lux's Q was too hard to land .... and Morg's is only gonna be worse to land.
Well, kinda, I mean her ult scales with 1.4 AP (plus like 700 base damage) if you manage to get both hits and her Q scales very nicely too so her damage is pretty crazy really, but it's just so hard to get right outside of teamfights and even then you'll hit like half the team at best.
In any case, she's great against certain champions in that you just bore them to death and she's probably the safest mid there is, with her short AA range being her only risky aspect in lane.

I never really felt that Morgana is a killer. She feels more support AP except that she hurts every now and then. I'm not even hoping for kills while laning unless enemies are just dumb and/or try to towerdive me.
She's very awfully safe against ganks though.

Matchmaker, why did you group us with a Lv25 Eve? Enemy were all 30s and had 1000+ matches apiece. She was absolutely terrible. She jungled, was 3-4 levels behind, and still had the balls to try to gank Gangplank 1v1. She ended the match with 2/12. I started with 6/0 Ez which became 6/6. v_v Match was pretty well coordinated from both sides, since whenever fights break out (very often) there were multiple people on each side. She just played bad.

She just played bad.Morg OP in ARAM. In SR she hasn't seemed to be as overpowering as s2 which i would say is prb thanks to itemization and penetration changes.
Morg is super safe though with BS and passive spell vamp. W everything and just keep getting health.

1. Play the tutorial level.
2. Play Coop vs AI > Beginner games until you get used to the interface (shops, basic shortcuts).
3. Play Coop vs AI > Intermediate games until you can consistently win them without a teammate dominating the match for you. Read guides for your champ.
4. Start playing 5v5 PvP games. By now you should have a feel for which champs/roles you like playing.
Play all the free champs. They change every week. Buy champs you really like playing.
Prepare yourself for a lot of shitty people giving you shit for everything. Just put on your favorite music, put on your armor and try to make the most out of all matches and you'll be alright

I was in Silver I and I think I ended up losing 4 in a row at 0 points before getting dropped to Silver II. Might have been 5 but not sure.
ROFL. LOLWUT?!
So inspiring.
What a man.
AP tryn can get really annoying if he somehow manages to get a lot of AP and a lich bane. He becomes this unkillable machine that regenerates 3/4 of his health every time his Q is up. His spin also starts to do real damage in team fights.
That said, it's probably one of the goofiest builds I've seen, and not a good addition to a team.

Annie's still pretty good, but also fun to use and her W fix really improved her overall quality of life tenfold (scy's right though, her range puts her in a weird place in teamfights, almost like an ADC, just blasting whatever's nearest). Pretty crazy match, bot fed MF and Nid ridiculously hard, but I was pretty fed myself so I carried to the point the enemy team just decided to go crazy over Draven and chase him to all corners of the Earth while the rest of our team just wrecked their towers. That happened like 3 times, it was pretty funny
Oh and then he got a quadra while taking down their nexus lol
Also got another Lux win on ranked, so 2-1 today, slowly moving up, hopefully to Silver III :/
He used to have a full page of wins before and that's how he got people to let him go Tryndamere. I guess getting known on reddit for AP Trynd is a bad thing.
