Why didn't I have your luck?
Bigger but still not global.
Who said they were global? I was pointing out a very common misconception that they are all the same range but they aren't (I actually had this same conversation with a friend earlier tonight). Which we'd know if the range indicators didn't suck, which was the point to begin with, lol.
Who said they were the same range.
The solution to the problem is to overlay the area within the ult range with a bunch of gold cards to make it harder to pick out a gold card hhehehehe.
A lot of smurfs (vocal ones anyway) are people who got banned from the game. So yeah, they are the asshole smurfs. Kind of why some people want a "prison" server

When facing flamers, I just say: "Yes I'm noob, so what?" that -sometimes- makes them shut up.

I just encourage them to shit on me some more so I can get enough report material >
^^
That's my plan B. But sometimes they just don't understand why you accept what they're considering offensing and just stop.
I generally just find it amusing when I'm insulted. I'm not gay, mexican, female, nor mentally retarded, nor I see anything bad (well, being mentally retarded is pretty bad but not in the way they put it) with any of those things.
I do however take great pleasure in seeing bigots banned out of their fun, so even if I lose the match it still feels like a victory.
I feel really bad that smurfing leads to this, though. New players run into assholes first hand by match 2 and I mean, they suck, they're new at the game, what are they gonna do? I really wish there was a way to prohibit smurfing, I'm only doing it right now because I don't want to play with this other dude, but it always feels bad when I run into a legitimate noob. Which reminds me, Riot should really implement a way to block someone without removing them from your friendslist.
It's just silly for the range not to be shown on the minimap as soon as you do your first cast. Same with the Q range.
Shows some of his stuff is still pretty outdated if you ask me.
Also, did they shrink him a bit? He didn't look ridiculously tall when I played him.
Are you gold yet?
It's also probably because I've lost like 100 points while at 0 points.

Oh I just thought the including lolking link along with lane preference, following with getting stomped on by Akali was funny.

Breaking that losing streak with a bang. Yi's first kill was gonna be my first pentakill in this region (4th overall).
Man, I love Eve jungle. 5-1 with her so far. It feels so cheap. She's like ez-mode jungle. I can gank from almost any direction, have crazy movement speed and insane burst. And I can ward without breaking the stealth. I'm constantly stealing buffs right out from under people lol. Even pink wards aren't that much of a threat. Pink one jungle entrance and I'll just go another. Or lane gank.
If I'm going to start ranked, I'll be playing her as often as possible. The only downside is she's not even remotely tanky and the team needs a good tank/initiator that would usually come from the jungle but she crushes so hard in the laning phase it's really strong at my silverish MMR. Most games are total clusterfuck teamfight phases anyways and rarely a real 5v5 late game.
For champs I play my favorites are:
mafia MF
Bloodmoon akali

Something I've always wondered is why casters always refer to champions as "it", and not "he" or "she".
It just sticks out as something weird to me.

Usually frozen mallet is better for Xin than warmogs. The added slow combined with his built-in knock-up and E make it dangerous, and he already heals on every third attack with his W, so you don't really need the warmog's passive healing especially if you already have some life steal. Try building a trin force on him if you don't want to trade the warmogs for the frozen mallet - the sheen effect is pretty decent cause he a sort-of caster, and he can use all the stats.
btw, just curious, but why build a locket on him?
I'm not sure Locket is needed so early as it will slow his early and mid game builds. You can get an early Brutalizer, then get Warmogs, and then finish off Black Cleaver. Reverse the Brutalizer and Warmogs order if you are having too much trouble surviving. From there, go with what the team needs. If no one builds Randuin's Omen, build that. If someone is building Randuin, get Sunfire Cape to keep you tanky and dealing dmg. If you are already dominating but the enemy is hard to lock down, you may get Frozen Mallet or Triforce instead for the slow proc.
Frozen Mallet isn't that great for him. It isn't that cost effective and his kit has enough sticking power to it. Locket + Warmog's is essentially his tank core.
And you get Locket because the stats on it are amazing. Xin wants tank stats (Armor/HP) and CDR is his best offensive stat. The active helps his all-ins as well as just being a great team fight active anyway.

+400 health
+35 armor
+10% cooldown reduction
+10 health regen
plus the active. All Kindlegem items are awesome.

AP Sion is one of the best solo que mids in the game.
AD Sion is basically an extremely situational counterpick.
Which was it?
gender neutrality

Who does AD Sion counterpick?
The lolking part is really dumb but I have to agree, somewhat. Champions like Akali or Katarina are pretty frustrating to play against, no mana management, resets, no skillshots, crazy mobility, high base damages, etc...
And it's not like they're champions that require all that much skill. Orianna is just as punishing as Katarina if you mess up your ult and she has mana problems, for instance.
But yeah, it's pretty dumb to pick a Lux against Akali, not buy any defensive items and whine because you're getting killed. If I see Kat/Akali I just pick Cho, start with 1 pink and a ton of pots and nomnomnom.
Mandred's, Locket, Aegis/Warmogs is my buddy's build.
Mozilla Ahri, Megaman Lux, Arcade Sona.

Jungle AD Sion
Hmm spellthief Lux is on sale. I'm thinking of buying her in hopes one day she gets a splash art remake... hmmm....
lol well if we're being honest adcarries don't really have all that variety available to them, I mean, no adc is gonna buy a ruby crystal and a pickaxe instead of a BFS and probably with good reason.

AA reliant champs due to passive.
There used to be this diamond guy in season 2 I would see play him all the time and I never saw him lose a lane. In particular, he did really well against some Jax players.
Garbage.

I swear people that play this game just don't think half the time
4 people in our base, were in a team fight. Are ADC goes to farm bot lane
next game we get baron, other teams really tanky, our tank goes to fight another tank 1v1
and we lose 4v4 then he comes and dies

He's beastly with those AAs if you get it rolling, but I'm not a great player so I find myself snowballing negatively more often if I build AD than AP.
Special Forces Gangplank. Bought it full price, first day. No regrets.
Arcade Sona is class, too, although I don't play her much (got a card).
Emerald Taric and Shamrock Malphite for the old patriotism, of course.
