Well you're already at an advantage duoing....

They do the order via elo. First pick, highest elo.

oh wtf. I did not know that. I always thought it was ranked by elo. That is crazy.
S2 it was based on ELO, this seems to be new.
I rather be 2nd or third pick anyway, being firstp ick means stuck on playing jungle/ad/supp unless I believe that im good enough to pick mid/top.
I'm bias here but I don't find Sona boring at all. She can be hella aggressive, but you gotta be smart about it. The champ range priority on Q is about the distance of her auto attack. To land it consistently, you are putting yourself in hella danger. Gotta be smart about positioning your Q, otherwise you can get comboed to death by Taric/Leona/Etc. What I hate seeing is when a Sona is trying to harass with Q and steals a cs from the carry. Stop this!
She has many options with her passive which I've seen used wrong plenty of times due to mashing spells. Q passive to harass, W passive on carries in team fights, E passive to chase or run away.
That ult is too crucial.
Tl;dr: she has many nuances to keep in mind that makes her fun to play.

Sona is great, people who don't find her fun probably don't understand her passive.

Man, solo queue normals are the worst today. Even when I pick a support the picks go wrong.
Everyone's just locking in mid champs. Urgh.
I hate Talon free weeks.

There's about 80 elo different with my duo partner. It doesn't seem enough to have me pick last every single time.
Well, there's a static amount it adds to it (+50 to the average, if I recall) so you're a bit farther away from the average than just the 80 difference with your friend.
Duo queues tend to have one of them as last pick due to that.
Edit: It's also why duo queues tend to have both players be close to last pick when the gap shrinks. 1450 + 1500, for instance, puts their weighted average at above both of their individual ratings.

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Blitz is the most fun.

I absolutely hate how it takes forever for Draven's ulti to turn back after it hits a champion, it gives them too much time to dodge the second part. >=[

Liking Renekton so far, 2 games 2 wins.
Not quite sure what to build. Went Warmog's, Black Cleaver, Sunfire and Hexdrinker before the game ended, but still not sure where to go from there.
Any tips?

Ok so wanting to play some Photoshop I looked up for more LoL fanart and um... learned what vore is...
Also female Amumu lol
There's quite a lot of rule 63 out there for characters. Hell Riot would make a killing if they made female versions of their characters.
Pro Draven's press R just as it hits to reduce the turnaround time.
I really like Leona, but she's a trial of patience of seeing your adc not proc your passive
I suddenly want a Quinn + Leona bot lane harder than anything I've ever wanted in my life
since the last time I've said this

Dat Darius nerf.
Where? PBE?
Darius
Instead of resetting if it kills an opponent, Noxian Guillotine ( R ) is now able to be recast for 12 seconds after killing an opponent.
Noxian Guillotine ( R ) cooldown increased to 120/100/80 from 100/90/80.
OMG

True, though I wouldn't want to see the female version of Urgot so I'd rather not
They'll probably get some nice burst damage if they combine their procs but i didn't really like Quinn all that much.
I'd imagine it's the former. Makes extended fights against him scary but man he's gonna be shit on teamfights and no more gank darius, he gets double kill.
Good change. Allows him to still do his thing in team fights, but he's less of a threat in lane.
Pretty big nerf. Needed though. I would have preferred they do what Morello was talking about ages ago - making him more stack dependent having his ult start REAL low damage and scale depending on how many passive stacks his target has. Would do a lot to tone him down.
Where are you guys seeing these notes?
My bigger problem with Darius was how hard it was to escape him in lane if you don't have flash, a blink, or can't duel him 1 on 1. The move speed bonus from bleeds, move speed debuff from W, a pull, and how his ult ignores flash (while they addressed only Skarner) means it can get pretty rough even if you're even in farm and kills.
I check www.reignofgaming.net or www.surrenderat20.net for PBE patchnotes. Here's a link to these patchnotes: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/02/219-pbe-update.html
I like surrenderat20 more because people in the comments section sometimes roleplay as Lux or Cho'Gath or Baron and it's pretty funny.
And yeah, the nerf's kinda weird, I feel they made him a lot less rewarding and he's gonna be a lot less fun since all really he had going for him was his dunking. Morello's changes would've given him some degree of strategy to make him more fun to play.
edit: ignore all I said, I read it wrong
Thanks for the link.
On a side note, what the heck are the doing to Blade of the Ruined king. I can't decide if they are trying to nerf it or buff it. It's pretty strong in it's current state with the massive AD lifesteal but they're making the active a lot stronger. Now it will be DFG damage + twice the length gunblade slow.
It's going to make Vi even stronger imo. I'll probably rush it on Nocturne too.
Trying to keep AD carries relevant and inadvertently(?) pushing all melee champions into tanky builds.

First game as Sona:
She's really good, and pretty fun too. Skumbag Sona taking 2 kills.

He'll be able to chain as long as it's 12 seconds between each ult. Which means it's possible to chain in team fights.
BUT in lane, if he kills you with it you don't have to deal with him having it ready again right as you get back in lane. It's the same complaint they had with Riven's ult.
I imagine we'll soon get to the point that all "resets" are going to be for a short duration. That way, they still have to wait out their cooldown between fights rather than ending a fight with the cooldown still up.
@BotRK - I liked it better with 30% tAD Healing (that is, Lifesteal that ignored mitigation). Then again, that was stupid.
It's mostly for the fun of popping procs, not even really the damage itself. Varus, as Summons mentioned, would work too but that's not on auto-attack.
Plus, double bird in lane.
