You don't, unless you're in that tier.
Learning now: Fizz
Competent Kats and LeBlancs can also dominate games.
You can't ban all strong assassin midlaners.
If no one wants to help leash at red, it might be safer to start blue if the team is there, wherever is closer to teammates. Or were they all in lane?
You threatened to afk in diamond yourself, and you question why someone else would afk?
Maybe they disconnected? Did they mention they were intentionally going afk?If you're on a bad streak of games, it may be worth taking a day or two off so the stress level is less.
Such wisdom.
If I go on a bad losing streak and drop to a lower division, I usually just tell myself I'm not gonna worry about climbing for a bit, just focus on improving, playing champs/roles I'm not as good on for a bit. Allows me to keep playing without getting anymore stressy about the +/- LPs at the end of every game.
So in the 10 games I grinded today, 6 of them had afks and rage quitters. 2 of them were unwinnable because of intentional feeding.
Only 2 of them were normal games.
Getting demoted on my next game.
So long plat1. Took me 65 wins and 38 losses to get to the promo. Only took 9losses to get demoted.

I still can't believe that stuff still happens in Plat. I'd figure once you get out of bronze and silver you leave all the afkers and rage quitters behind for the most part.
Is he still worth playing?
I'm dead.
Honestly, if you're looking to pick up a really strong pick in most circumstances then you don't want Kha'zix. Losing his wave clear / poke in his Evolved W (+ removing the EW functionality) really hurt him.
Hence soda cop's comment. You asked if Kha'zix was a good pick up and he told you no and with other suggestions, if I recall (Elise, Renekton probably). And then went ahead and picked him up :x
And that's the complaint everyone has about Division Vs in general~

oh god. i got a game where people aren't just copying lcs picks. it's a miracle.
yeh. she benefited from triforce changes more than other champs.
That's why I decided to pick her up again all of a sudden, but haven't seen many other people play her since the patch, unlike champs like jax and corki.
I've been going triforce -> frozen mallet -> randuins so far, don't really know if it's a good build or not but it seems to be working for me.

I wouldn't build Mallet on anything that isn't Olaf. It's a pretty shitty item and removing Phage from the recipe just made it even worse.
If you want the slow, Randuins active is enough.

Jax is ass to play in ARAM when you're up against Kayle, Blue Ez, AP Kog, Vlad and AP Corki. WTF stop kiting me and sit still when I actually get there. We would never have won if we didn't have the best ARAM initiator (Ashe), and Shen to be my co-frontliner.
But wow I finally got to try TF on Jax. It was my only damage item but W+TF+Ult proc was usually enough to send someone backing off.

Mallet always has a place on WW imho.
Don't give up. You can do this.

Once you get closer and closer to division 5 of any league you start seeing more raging and general toxicity.
yeah this is demoralizing. i thought leaving silver would fix all my problems
Gold and plat are not much better than silver. The skill level and teamwork is better but people will still feed, people will still rage, and do dumb stuff. Just with less frequency.

People don't believe me when I say there's no such thing as ELO hell.
The entire ladder is fucking Dante's inferno. It' never gets better.
I dunno man, the mallet combined with the triforce lets me stick to carries so hard. and getting a bit of extra damage in my build early on doesn't hurt either. Is spirit visage worth buying on her? I haven't been against a heavy magic damage team yet so haven't really had the chance to buy it.

Spirit Visage is one of the best items in the game right now. If you're a bruiser or tank with any form of innate sustain, you just get it no questions asked if you need any MR.
Irelia has no trouble sticking to targets. She's naturally fast, MS quints are fantastic on her plus the phage procs and her Q/E will make sure you don't have to worry about them running away.

Wolfman has always been... special, build wise.
Yeah that's what I figured.
What would you suggest as a standard build for her then? Just triforce into straight randuins/spirit visage?

Kit rework only next season.
Visual update tomorrow.
Rule of thumb is basically two offensive items into full tank stuff.
So Triforce into either Wits end or BoTRK - grabbing a few tanky items in the way doesn't hurt though, like a Giant's belt, Warden's Mail or Wraith's Cowl - and then rest of tank stuff.

EDIT - Double post
Can you *cough* garentee that...?
people in my games are so frustrating. i had to dodge my first promo game because we needed a tanky top laner and this guy insta locks teemo top and says nope, sorry. what the fuck? i guess i should have played anyway since dodging counts as a loss.
i win the both of my next games to get into silver II. first game in the new division and i had to dodge again. sigh... now i was at -10 LP.
i don't think i'll dodge anymore though and just try to win. i'm just tired of people in my games picking whatever they want and not listening to the team.
luckily i won my next game to get 0 LP. but then i lose the next after a 6 win streak. no one wanted to ward, i asked our malz why he keeps ulting the 5k hp volibear and he just flips out and rages saying don't tell him how to play his role and mutes me. that was the only thing i said to him.
this game sometimes...

Never dodge in promos man, it's always never worth it. Dodge normal games though, -3lp is worth it for sure.
Not if you're only getting 7 LP per win.... -_-

Still not worth making your MMR even shittier and wasting 40 minutes in a bad match.

I doubt that change will make it to live since it was part of his rework and put on the PBE by mistake.
It was a net nerf, either way.

*takes notes*
Oh snap, I didn't know this. Thanks, guys. How do you guys handle situations where both lanes are pushed to the enemy towers and mid has some highly mobile champ there (say, a Fizz)? Sometimes I've found myself waiting in bushes expecting lanes to push back but feel like time would have been better spent farming the junk camps in the jungle.
Also, how about if you're jungling a champ with uninspiring mobility before 6 like a Diana? Or is the right answer to simply not jungle Diana in a match you'd actually like to win? I know most of the popular junglers have legit gap-closing abilities pre-6 (J4, Zac, Sej, Lee, Vi, Udyr, etc.)...but for those that don't....what do?
He's still worth playing if you're good with him and build him right. He's not top tier but you knew that already.
He's still pretty good, but the E nerfs definitely made a difference.
What was the nerf on the e?

Well for what it's worth, he's my current favorite champ. He's like LeBron to me. I can put him in any position and he'll get the job done. ADC, Top, Jungle, Mid...doesn't matter. Jayce can get his and help win. He's pretty hard to kill with that wall to run through and the Hammer E knockback. Thanks to GAF tips I got much more comfortable with how to play him in team fights and enjoying the hell out of him.
I never see him in competitive, so I guess he's not very strong?
Of course, I'm a noob so feel free to just ignore this commentary entirely.
