I went Talon, Vi, Vayne. Weird thing is I have been seeing a lot of Vaynes lately. Guess everybody thinks her buff is great. I PLAYED HER WHEN SHE HAD NO BUFFS SO HA!

These days honor is worth more than rp.

Quinn is useless in any mode that isn't SR, and she's not even that great there. She's a strong duelist if you land her skillshot but her laning phase is rough and her carry potential isn't as high as someone like Vayne or Kog'maw.
CD on her ult is way too high as well.
CD on her ult is way too high as well.
Any assassin mid, especially one like Talon without resets and all burst damage, are all about carrying the laning phase. With Vi jungle you can smash the laning phase and if for some reason the game continues you still have a tanky initiator you can carry as. You will not be initiating as Talon (unless you want to get blown up).
To carry you'll want to shut down your mid opponent so they don't have a strong mid champ. You want to roam hard - push your lane with your rake and go gank a lane. Don't fail the gank. Every roam should get you or your teammates a kill. Preferably you, so you can gank even better. Ward ward ward. You should be able to burst down any squishy and even some tanky champs if you are fed. Warding their jungle lets you know when they're isolated and you can go punish them. If the game isn't over by 25 minutes with the opponents so afraid of you, you're going to be stuck relying on your teammates for team fighting. You don't want that. Even as the laning phase starts to break down, look for the lone ADC or mid champ trying to farm because you hurt them so bad in laning phase and pick them off. Try very hard not to die. Trading isn't worth it if you're giving up a bounty or it lets the opponents free farm.
If it gets to teamfights, you need to wait for someone to initiate. Wait until everyone is distracted and blow up their biggest damage dealer. If you manage to make it out alive, wait for the cooldowns and blow up the next biggest damage dealer. Don't initiate no matter how fed you are unless you can pick off their carry and flash over a wall to get away or something. Or if you can get the kill with only the first half of your ult and you can walk out invis. Chances are you have twice the kills of anyone on your team and if you die, so does your team's damage potential.
It's easy to carry a game as an assassin in the laning phase, but once that's over, you're looking to pick off easy targets without dying yourself. That's a lot tougher when they group up. Hopefully you damaged them enough in the laning phase that it's a cake walk.

I went Xin, Sona, Zed
LCS/random tournaments
Since League is relatively young, a lot of people got where they are by following guides rather than thinking for themselves + the very low impact decision making in itemisation (in s2 anyway) + somewhat similiar mechanically ADCs mean that lots of people are
SHEEPLE
I'm serious too, "NO PRO HAS PLAYED X THEREFORE THEY SUCK"
its freaking solo queue people
On the plus side for ADC players, I've seen every ADC played in competitive these past few weeks except Ashe (and corki). That poor girl.
Didn't Gambit run ashe once? I thought I remembered that.

Fiora's going to be on sale tomorrow.
Now's your chance zkylon. And everyone else.

I think I just encountered my first griefer in LoL. He was exploiting that "bug" which makes the entire enemy team disconnect at random. He'd buy the weirdest stuff - Doran's Blade, Shurelia and Hextech Sweeper for Veigar - and just auto anything that walked within his aa range. His team wanted to report him at the start of the game for feeding. They were losing quite heavily until everyone left the game. When I finally managed to connect they were taking down our Nexus.
She's a weaker amumu that doesn't get banned.
They serve different purposes.

Trundle is awesome and underrated, but community opinion of him is poor so expect some grief from teammates if you are picking him in ranked games.
I've been goofing around with Trundle top in Normals lately when playing with friends.
I used to love top Trundle but I haven't tried after picking the game up again (mostly cause when I am top I go Renekton.) I'll give him a shot again in the jungle. Not sure why anyone would hate on him. Dat Pillar.
what bug?

Varus was used by a pro team. He is really popular among pros.
Varus, Draven, MF, Kog all getting play at high level. Why so many Vis and Threshes should be popping up as well.

This is like playing a dream. I'm playing my NA account against since I can't play PH from Singapore
.
Lv22, everyone fills in roles. No raging. Best and ballsiest Taric I've laned with. Everyone was very communicative and followed. People treated objectives like objectives. Non-supports bought wards. Even though their Kat and Akali were snowballing we accomplished a solid win. Is this really Lv22 or some super secret Elo Heaven?
My CS sucked though. I totally forgot how to CS with 220ms.
plus I need to farm IP for Karma

Sej scales extremely well late game if your building health items. She can just walk into fights and slow everyone while dealing insane DoT with her northern winds.
Skarner is a better champ to pick if your new to jungling I would say. Trundle is fun to use and has great clears and in general is very easy to use but if you don't use your pillar well, prepare for a lot of rage from your teammates. Late game aside from his pillar and ult(which is only really useful for weakening the enemy tank if they built tanky) he doesn't have much to contribute.
Here be my private collection if you want it: http://www.mediafire.com/?6446bbo7eaeb5h3 (aka my stash of porn)
There's some Riven shit in there, but mostly Lux.
yah she was relevant in that way in season 2, though I think m5 used it in season 3 too. but i dunno a lot of pro stuff kinda comes in one ear and out the other for me.
I haven't really kept up with thinking about a top 3, it's hard to think of them as isolated and not think of their strategic purpose + relation to current meta (strategy/item wise)
probably it has to be champs that are ez to play, must have an enemy team built around dealing with them in some fashion (dealing with vi ult, kayle ult), stuff like that.
Ashe was used by Gambit in a game against aAa last week.

Dont you have Warlord?
They are cool if you autohit a lot in between spells.
It's 'ẃáŕḿṓńǵếŕ'
Thanks, I'll give Skarner a shot in the jungle and then maybe pickup Sej in a bit.
Double pen runes are expensive but I'd sure love 'em :/
