I'm truly sad there are no Taric 'oh you' image macros that I can put here, and truly too lazy to make one.

Never underestimate the power of throws.
Holy shit. What an amazing game.
We were winning early on until that support fiddle started to build ap. His ults were real terror. We lost all our inhibs and had one nexus turret up. We held out for 15 or so minutes. At around 48minutes, we finally had all 3 inhibs back up so we started to run to baron. We had no wards and we were all grouped up in the jungle as we were moving as a unit.
Once we got near the banana bush, I just flagged it to check. I then see a fiddle channeling an ult. Without any hesitation, I Q'ed straight into him, stopped his ult by almost a millisecond, tanked a bunch of damage and my team cleaned up for an ace. We pushed it to the nexus and took the win.
Got 8 honours for that game. If that fiddle ulted and zhonya'd, we would of gotten aaced in less than a second.

53 minute Vayne and Singed, holy shit must that match have been annoying.

Her build as a whole is what, but hey they are Plat players and he got fed as fuck, the fuck do I know.
Though CDR boots making Q on a pretty low CD for sheen procs doesn't sound half bad.

Aye, Lucidity is definitely worth exploring on her depending on situation.
This is a bit disheartening because even near the top of platinum, people are still trying to troll with a double jungle pick to force a dodge, or people (you? :/) are threatening to afk. Maintaining a positive attitude and trying to get a team to work together is one thing, but I guess I naively would like to think that there are other ways to do it besides threatening to go afk.
If I have Zyra as support I use her plants for cover, very effective.
Well from jungle Jarvan,Nasus, Vi, Noct and Udyr can be aggressive as hell if you time your ganks right. Easy towers and dragons. When you're jungling you have to think about time often. Getting a good gank on mid for example near the 7 minute mark means the midlaner can't get his blue or at the very least can't contest a steal. If bot is winning in trades a gank can net you a turret and dragon. Also play many jugglers and learn their clear speeds. That can help you take advantage of counter ganks and jungle camp steals. Always try and leave a little camp up to waste their time and deny co.
Proxy stuff is pretty easy to deal with though. You just buy a snowball item like Sword of the Occult and keep killing him.

I do own Riot Nasus. Might try to bring him out for jungling.
Ah yeah, I'm not really going to do it. I couldn't deal with the flaming. XD
Don't know how it happened, but I won a ranked game as Fizz mid vs. Veigar when I haven't played Fizz in forever, and even when I did it was casually as I was leveling up my account.
I was pretty much worthless and carried to the win. Last time I listen to someone who tells me what to play at champ select... if I had gone Brand, I could have at least farmed under my turret safely without getting pegged down constantly.

You'd rather have BT with that build than BotRK for Quinn. She ideally wants more raw AD rather than the ASPD and on-hit.

The end of October.
Halloween
Because the damage from BotRK isn't that major barring a few circumstances (high HP, low Armor, long duration duels). Her ideal combos are all disengage based with a few auto-attacks in there due to Harrier (that is, Q -> HarrierAA -> E -> HarrierAA*). Harrier is non-CDR time based (discounting Vault) so getting ASPD doesn't really help much with that.
BotRK's active is nice and you can use it during Vault but the chase potential from it isn't necessary with Quinn's built-in chase potential with Vault and Heightened Sense procs (+ Phage/TF eventually). She'd just rather up front her damage.
*Though, realistically, you'll generally only get the E->HarrierAA and not the double Harrier. That still benefits higher raw AD rather than ASPD.
maybe i suck, but when i play cait vs vayne she always tears me up. we were pretty even in cs and i even had a few more ad but in a 1v1 duel vayne will destroy cait. her silver arrows plus tumble will shred cait.
good caitlyn with ranged support will make vayne go back and forth to base the whole laning phase.
Your goal as Caitlyn against Vayne in lane is to zone her out, she cant trade auto attacks with you early on, you'll always get one autoattack ahead. Since you have 100 units advantage. Whenever she comes to last hit you can poke her for free and if she tries to fight you'll most likely win as long as you hit your Q.

With that combo what is Sona's objective? Get close enough to Q harass periodically and keep the ad from worrying about their hp? Apply heavy pressure?
is that not what sona does in all lanes?

Help Vayne get past the laning phase without falling too far behind in CS and/or dying.
People really focus too much on the ADC part of the match-up. They're not irrelevant to the match-up, yeah, but they're pretty interchangeable compared to what the support does to things.
Generally, the support's job is to be the aggressor in the lane that keeps the enemy from freely farming while zoning for their ADC. The ADC should spend the majority of the time just farming and follows up on the Support when something major happens.
Just went 5/12/35 with J4 as my first jungle game. Stopped jungling and just started ganking at 6 and fell behind in gold, but we teamfought so much better after having a rough early game. and just started roaming as a team and pushed. We nearly threw a couple of times, but lanes were pushed so hard it was ok. I really like J4

I think this is supposed to be the spoiler-free thread and the other one contains all the spoilers and match talk.
No, other thread.
That's about when I jumped in. If you feel comfortable with playing all roles and have a few champions down pat for your favorite couple roles (that aren't normally banned) and you're comfortable with the pick/ban aspect of normal draft then you should be fine.
Sure thing, my bad. Thanks guys!
So I'm apparently unbanned today... But it still says I'm banned... Do I need to wait until the exact hour I was banned for the ban to lift?

game already knows you're gonna go on a dodge fest
My problem with this is that Vayne tumble always meant I wouldn't just take autoattack damage, I would take boosted autoattack damage. And I would usually build AD and Vayne would build AS, so my slow autoattack animation meant I didn't get a hit in, or just one hit in, while Vayne would get one or two. I know there must be a way to do it properly, I just sadly need to practice.
This is what would always happen to me.

No?
Some lanes requires a more defensive approach and are approached as such. Success is measured by how many times the ADC *didn't* die and how well they could farm. Alternately, some lanes want to be more offensive and push towers down faster. Success is measured by how depressed the other team's ADC is and how big of a kill/cs lead your ADC has.
This is presuming Sona isn't only played with one way to determine a successful lane.
So defensive. Okay. Thanks.
No, you don't play defensive. The goal of the lane is a bit more defensive in nature (that is, not going all-out for kills) but Sona is definitely played aggressively with her zoning.
Edit: And, honestly, a good Vayne can play it aggressively as well.

I love getting matched with good Dravens as Nami. All it takes is one bubble or the enemy ADC trying to trade with Draven for us to turn it back on them with the nami E and Draven Q.
the job of a support is to be aggressive and control the lane. it's like the aprho video. you gotta have presence in the lane, otherwise the enemy team walks all over you. sona is not meant to be defensive. you can heal up trades so well. keep poking. keep active in the lane. zone with vision and ability threat. there are situations where it is okay to hang back more, but you still have to maintain that presence and want to prevent complete tower pushes.
it is better for vayne to start fights and be aggro than try and play the poke game vs. someone like caitlyn.
