Fun game. I started off solo top against Kha'Zix and Garen but our Xin didn't really know how to jungle so he ended up joining me in lane at level 5. I played well in the early game, winning a 1v2 against my lane opposition, but then I got pretty stupid in the late game and started diving towers and dying. We were winning by a wide margin so I figured what the hell, but apparently tower diving is a skill I have yet to master.

Nice new champ rotation.
Quinn is a bit disappointing, I'm trying really hard to understand why her ult is good. I thought the cooldowns would reset in bird form, but they don't so you basically go into melee range for 20% more attack speed, 20% movement speed (which is moot since you're losing your ability to attack from range.) The hail of arrows seems ok, but I'm not seeing what part of this package warrants a 2 minute cooldown. edit: I'm guessing its much more useful in SR to chase down people, I've only played a few games in dominion with her since I'm short on time.
I've probably been spoiled by Elise

Use it to chase people down and to get around the map mostly, it makes her a really good splitpusher too.
Also it's 80% bonus movespeed while out of combat, and up to 80% bonus attack speed depending on your w level.
Don't do this.
Uhhh? Why not?

After some bad days with many losses, I had one of my best (if not the best) game.
This and an 11/1/20 game with Caitlyn when I was lvl 13.
I'll so miss this days of low level...

You are the adc. Blowing your ult just to do some half-assed split push is a terrible idea. She doesn't even have good wave clear.
Because she is a fairly slow champion with low wave clear potential and no easy escape who cannot afford to be away when a team fight happens.
treasure your victories so that you can think about them on your defeatsAfter some bad days with many losses, I had one of my best (if not the best) game.

Agreed lots. When I have bad games, I try to think of the golden Gangplank times, and the Malphite ranked game where I went 15/1/13 or something stupid. It's not easy but it helps. You're not losing skill, necessarily, when you lose. Helps to remember that you're probably no worse after a loss than you were when you woke up that morning. You just feel worse.
Sr Kitsune

Yeah, it sure helps. Often when I lose too many games in a row, like yesterday, I go and play coop against bots, just for have some fun, or think that since I've lost many games next match should be easier... (right?)
If not, I just go and play with a friend and have some fun regardless the result.
She has decent enough wave clear with her q and her ult is amazing escape, I play her top and build her tankier though so maybe it's different
basically if you're half decent at the game your odds of winning will always be about 50% going in. so yeah, if you win you win, if not c'est la vie. I have like 54% win rate, it's just a matter of accepting that even if you lose ten in a row, eventually you'll win because it's in the cards.
Man, I keep wanting to try Sona mid. I feel like she would be strong. She's just so squishy.
How do I do this?

I'll be honest, I played a lot (too much) of Co-op vs. AI from like level 20-30. 'cos normals had gotten too difficult. Somehow my level had passed me by in skill, and I didn't wanna go through a crazy amount of losses to make the matchmaking better. This was at a time I didn't really have friends to play with regularly. So don't worry about it. If you have any decent number of normals going up through the levels, you should be fine, and matchmaking should work.
Definitely play with friends if you can. Losing hurts so much less when you're having a laugh with someone you know. And it's a lot easier to laugh at ragers/haters.

I'm thinking about buying some of the Champions Bundles, since I only own Tristana and Alistar (since you can get them for free).
Are the bundles worth it? or is better to wait for every individual sale?
I've heard that the Gamer's choice one isn't as good...

That's a top lane related thread, not a support one. Those are two distinctly different roles. Any solo lane Soraka build would be maxing Q first (or QW evenly, though that's iffy and I can't think of too many match-ups you'd need it vs buying extra pots).
I wouldn't really blindly follow advice without really understanding what's going on, to be honest.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
It wouldn't work too well. You just push her in to tower since she only has 1 actual damage spell that hits 2 targets, basically no wave clear. She has ridiculous poke and can probably snowball like crazy during the first couple of levels but her lack of escapes and roaming prowess makes her a bad (but viable) pick.

Not a huge fan of buying bundles. Especially so early. Just play some games and buy champs like ashe or garen who are very easy to play and let you learn the basics. After that play the free champs and save up for the ones you like / buy them with RP. Bundle content is fine and good value but you will buy so many champs you won't even touch. Just my opinion.

I noticed that some people really liked teleporting in on minions. They were doing in the middle of the lane away from their tower. Like in front of the enemy Cho'gath.
Yes? Unless you're talking about using the print screen button and MS Paint, which is archaic as shit and doesnt count. If there is some shortcut to press that will take a picture of LoL and save it into a folder, please enlighten me. Douche.

Is there a way to reset stats?
Someone else was using my account for a while, but I still have a bunch of champions unlocked/purchased

ELO BOOSTER
my ping went back to a solid 170 and....
500 wins
finally. also played great as lux that match, so a great way to commemorate the milestone.
next match I played as malph for the first time in months and ended up 10 3 14 as an unkillable mass of rock. like really two of those deaths were because of disconnects lol, I even stole dragon with ult+e and ran away against like 4 guys
and then best of all, next match, killed a diana with my anivia wall. she was inside my ult and about to run away, i try to wall her in and end up killing her with the 1 true damage instead. wasn't sure so asked the enemy di and she said it was the wall so yeah.
bestest day evarrrr
if you're not playing much you won't have time to make use of those 20 champions you get and if you are you probably get enough IP already to buy them one at a time and get busy learning them, which is part of the fun.

muramana is pretty cool on her lol
not worth it imo, you get mostly cheap champions and very basic palette swaps for skins.

Someone in a game claimed that
a) most people say Quinn sucks
b) ADCs counter Kassadin

Most people do think Quinn sucks as far as I can tell, and I guess an adc could shut down a kassadin pretty hard pre-6 too.

she just got rated as one of the worst champs by a popular site.

I'm not adverse to the bundles. I bought the Champion's Bundle myself. There's some great champions in there that I still use today - Kassadin, Karthus, Katarina, Taric, Soraka, Singed, Jax. You'll basically have solid champs for any role you decide to take on in your climb to 30. You probably won't end up using all of them (I sure didn't) but it gives you a lot more flexibility than the free champ pool and whatever champion you bought with IP or RP. You'll get a chance to try all the roles and figure out how you like to play.
They're a good time value if you like the game and think you're going to keep playing. Most of the champs in the bundle are pretty cheap in IP but if you don't have tons of time to play, the IP you accumulate will be better saved for your level 20 runes. It's not a bad thing to spend some IP on some champs early but those tier 3 runes are pretty valuable and it would be good to be able to buy a few sets when you hit level 20.

Looks pretty good. I kinda want to buy the bundle but that "grab the blobs" mechanic seems like 10x more annoying than the Draven catching axes.

Don't ever trust an Elementz tier list, he hasn't a clue.
Syndra is in tier 4, lower than Veigar.
Also I've yet to have a bad game as Quinn. Put her with a Thresh or Blitz (i.e. a kill lane) and you'll stomp.
As much as I love Sona
's boobs
I think a good Kass will destory ADCs. He can burst most of them down in a single combo.

i don't trust or believe in his lists but they are popular which means many players will think it's true and thus Quinn will be labelled as shit. however in this instance i have to agree with him, i think Quinn has not proven in competitive play (for obvious reasons) and i don't think she will be played before a major buff. it is a competitive tier list after all.
she has a pretty shitty win rate tho. never seen a streamer play her either.
To be fair, unless the champ is blindingly OP from the get go, they usually have pretty shitty win rates. And new champs are rarely used in competitive play - a) they're a patch or two behind, b) pros want a lot of practice on a champ before they use them.
Draven wasn't used in a competitive game for ages.
I've seen RobertxLee play her and do well. But I don't generally watch ADC streamers so I can't say one way or another.
To be fair, many champions fit this until they suddenly became good. Syndra was unpopular and pretty bad even after all her tweaks until suddenly she's hugely popular in EU. Zed got zero changes and suddenly became a top pick in mid or top and still sees success in the jungle (if you're Korea/InSec).
Quinn has her issues (her E needs to mini-snare or do something so she can pursue/escape with it better, her passive needs to apply faster so it can't apply on a target as it dies and get wasted, etc.) but she's not terrible. She may not see much play as an ADC though but we'll see on that.
Edit: Also, one post left in this thread what do.

That's assuming he gets any farm going, which he won't. I've done Cait, Varus, and Ez vs Kass before and all of those games were total stomps. Ward, zone, force him to farm under tower, which he can't do.
He won't be able to do anything until mid game and that is assuming he got blue. By then you should have taken his tower and began getting towers in other lanes.
