Seems that I'll be simply knocked back to gold league according to that graph... Which I'm okay with.
Is it according to current elo, or peak elo?

It's time rex, time to spam ree Singa games
That's one of the reasons why I like skillshots that stop when they hit something: More awesome looking plays like this.
Edit: Also, merc, come back so we can do ranked! Gotta get to ~1800ish so we can just start in Gold next season!
Some basic support advice from Aphromoo. I just discovered him and find his commentary hysterical hahaha.

Aphromoo is hilarious. He is so good at the game. Wildly aggressive but the moves he makes are phenomenal. His commentary is half the reason to watch though. There are times I'm just non-stop laughing.
Aphromoo, scarra and cruzerthebruzer are my favorite people to watch by far.
holy shit.... funniest video ive seen in a long ass time... lololololol
Newish LoL player here (created account in summer)... been playing off and on and decided to play a bit more now. Don't have too many friends that are playing it so figured I would jump in here and see what's up.
Are there usually people in the gaf chatroom? Currently lvl28 and wouldn't mind partying up to stomp AI games for XP grind....
before people start yelling at me for playing AI.... I've played both hon and dota for a long while so I'm not incompetent when it comes to pvp... I just like AI cause it's pretty much a guranteed quick win for xp grinding purposes

That's twice now I've seen these guys do teleport Sivir/promote Heimerdinger bot lane. They just push all day and won both games solely on the tower gold and map control advantage from all the towers they take, it's hilarious and pretty effective because people don't really know how to deal with it.
The US gaf channel is pretty active except for early mornining. Night and afternoon it can get pretty lively if certin people are here.
Don't need to be friends most gaffers are nice just ask for an invite when you're ready and prepare to lose.
I should be back in 3 days or less. Us two ganging up on folks just ain't gonna be right. You with decent internet and me with a decent machine.
268,627
Enough to buy 66% of all champions, no runes.
Damn I just got that site to work for me finally
441,128
Enough to buy 100% of all champions and 6% of all runes.
Except I didn't buy all the champions spent my time on runes after getting who I wanted. I only buy champions now for stealing.
Boken is too strong. I spectated and he went Kassadin and I was predicting 15/1, but he went at least 16/1 instead. GAF was crushed into the ground.
Alternative solution, ban Kassadin. Void champion are OP, bro!
It's really something else to watch him play Lee Sin mid. Dude is pretty damn good.
104,437 IP or 26% of all champions with no runes. I own about 35% of the champions and have a lot of runes. Fuck :|
Until we decide to do something stupid after winning a few games in a row.
Early pick Karthus is going to get punished by a Katarina, Ahri, Kassadin, Orianna, etc. pick. Basically farm under turret all game and hope for clutch ults.
Beating a Karthus in lane is super easy. And then he ults a few times and becomes relevant (and then mid game, wave clears happen and he gets full farm anyway with skittles and Defile).

Says the guy who tried to trick me into laning against gp/panth/jayce or AD+support
Should've just said me. LVL1 tower dive go go go!
This next season will be mega fun for me might actually take melees just to show people how broke they can be. Telling you dudes that arpen change with percents is gonna wreck the meta once smart people figure out the mid game costs for damage vs arpen.
Brian I have no luck in ranked. One of the lowest ranks for gaffers who tried its like 1200 somethings. My own fault should troll support and take mid more cause I often lose for these two reasons every season. I have a lot of normal wins with a pretty good win ratio and most of mine have come from blind not draft.
I need to learn more champs so I guess it's time I buy Nidalee and throw spears that never hit. Worst Nidalee NA inc guys
1v5 under their tower bro, sounds good
I'm interested in the new itemization to go with this. I hope for a hyper offensive style of play to come from the resistance rebalancing + Armor Pen rebalance but maybe we'll just see more safe plays due to the new damages
Whatever, I'm intrigued as to what this means for champs like Elise that scale super well with Penetration items.

So I recently got back into the game thanks to the world championship and watching TheOddOne on twitchtv lately. Can someone list some Champions with great mobility? I absolutely adore Ahri mainly because of her R is a great tool for dodging ganks and chasing/tower diving (her design also helps). I recently got Vlad and will eventually get Ezreal, so those two are covered.
Like, great mobility in general regardless of role? Anywya, as for mid, Katarina's Shunpo allows for some great skillshot jukes and a W first build is very much a darting in-and-out style of play (with enough mobility, you can actually max range a W and get out before their auto attack animation resets).
Since you mentioned TheOddOne, Shyvana is a highly mobile Jungler. Nidalee and Jayce both get some mobility from their kits and Singed is worth mention if only because his playstyle is basically running around (plus he's free this week, isn't he?).

I'm hoping for a bunch of new items to shake builds up a lot.
Right now there are a bunch of items that are pretty much never used because there are better ones available. Or builds that encourage using the same stuff across the board.

It's heartbreaking when people pick soraka or janna to support you. I don't want to see them like this. Soraka vs Sona is particularly ugly.
But they are both just so weak. I think I'd rather have support talon.

i don't remember that! u kno I can't pull one over you tho

During S1 I enjoyed being able to mega armor reduce or pentrate this was gone in S2 big time. Defense had increased so much and damage had been nerfed people could get away a lot more. Just having that extra edge of percentages be applied first then the pen will ensure certain troll builds I know of will remain far more consistent.
S2 will probably be more defensive or safe than S3 or S1. Only way for them to make it safe is the nerfs that I see them having to do once trolls like myself or really good players get the math and timing down of those builds.
Soraka and Janna are not weak. I love both and believe me both have tools to make you think twice about that. Soraka in defensive mode is a pain to actually kill and cause you to get killed. Any janna worth a damn is going to be keeping you out quite easily and with the shield it's not that easy to get away once you slow with w. I honestly think adcs are weaker than supports without lifesteal.
I'm actually finding Kha'Zix to offer a pretty large amount of mobility. Combined with his slow I feel probably more capable of chasing and getting away from enemy champions than I do with any other character.
The range on his evolved leap is like 1,000, so you're looking at something a little longer than Tristana's jump.

My math is ready for the item overhaul. Hopefully there will be a good period of time between unveiling it and Season 3 starts. Need to crunch them numbers (/rememorize all them numbers >>).
On the subject of Janna, I think there's a few Support players who think she's one of the best supports right now from a purely "I do support things" standpoint. I like her when I'm playing Kat if only for more movement speed. I really do hate her ult, though; bad Janna ults can get people killed!
His pursuit is great eventually. He comes into having good mobility (Evolved E) and slow down (Evolved W proccing his passive slow). He's also kind of just fun to play and his Mecha skin sounds are just so satisfying.

Gragas ult has no effect on allies and doesn't have the pushback range Janna has.
Er, Gragas ult does nothing to teammates. It has a smaller hit box (800 vs 1450) with a smaller knockback (600 vs 875) and is aimed. Granted, the same bad aim on a Janna ult still applies to a Gragas ult, it's just easier to aim a targeted ability like Gragas' ult. You can still screw things up by tossing someone out of range of a kill or into your ADC or whatever. At least Gragas' ult does damage in the process!

Soraka is so weak early on; the healing does so little, it can't really keep up with anyone's poke, let alone let you outright fight. She always did require you to be passive but its now weak to the stage where they can outright zone you in the early game. By about 5 its starting to get ok, but at 6 their support gets another big tool to help them in lane and you get a global that's not as much help to your lane directly. On top of the hard 1-5 you just had that's the last thing you need. It's so easy for them to get a farm advantage, and that's the best case scenario; if they manage to fight you outright they will crush you. Winning your lane is really good for carrying in solo queue, it's not like a tournament game where you have reliable players and soraka is really bad at that.
Janna was really hurt by losing the AD buff when the shield dies, before it was a great buff that let you do the damage to outright fight when you had the chance, but now it just does so little because the shield gets burst down and the buff is gone so quickly. All she can do is be defensive now. The Q does a 0.8 second knockup to 1.1s at full charge (nerfed from flat 1s) and a level 1 E is a pretty crappy 24% 3s slow (nerfed from 4s) so even her defensive kit is falling pretty flat pre 6. Her ult is amazing, but man the 150s cooldown for a level 1 ult (nerfed from 120s) feels like a freaking age. So even her defensive abilities aren't that amazing any more, and again when the soloqueue meta heavily favours winning your lane to carry a kinda mediocre defensive champion is just not good.

Anyone else think Ironscale Shyvana should have been her default design?
I don't like the current default one at all.
It seems among fanart too that the default is pretty much ignored completely in favour of Ironscale.
