Or top laners.

I played a ranked game as Brand last night so well that the enemy Ahri after the game asked me if I was a smurf.
I think I was 17-3-11 with 300k damage done. Over double the amount of champion damage dealt by the next closest person in the game.
I'd look on LoLKing but it's blocked at work. First time I've ever been accused of being a smurf and to "stick to your elo and not stomp lower elos".

"But I don't have enough money to buy wards because I'm being camped! /all Noob jungler camping me. Noob jungler on my team not ganking for my overextended ass"
Finished a game, as support thresh (as usual) awesome game. opposing Draven said "sorry I am gona win so just have fun" We destroyed him and leona at bot.
Most notable thing, I nearly killed ryze on my own both full health as he was worried about a gank in his own jungle. Cait ulted to take the kill from me. They surrendered and one of them said "ryze run away from thresh, GG"
This also got me into my promos.

How am I going to buy my sweet-ass Infinity Edge if I waste money on wards

Expecting your allies to know what they're doing is the worst position to be in as a support in Bronze - Silver - low Gold.
Also, it's ill-advised to passively farm up as an ADC (or even Susan) within those elo ranges. Is it situationally fine to patiently work your way up to crucial items to start melting anyone in teamfights if you have the scaling to back it up? Yes, but not in those tiers. Bronze - Silver - low Gold players make so many mistakes as is, it'd be a waste to not capitilize on their bad habits and potentially reach your intended goal much sooner which in turn could also allow you to pressure the rest of the map. "Not losing" should only be weighed in on if your average match isn't a total clusterfuck across all roles.
Funny part being, those key focus points fall exactly in line with how I keep up with my aggression despite the overall tankiness. And most top lane champions still can't outtrade you if you handle it right, never mind certain junglers being under serious threat of getting heavily damaged or even killed themselves if they wish to rescue their guy out of a pinch. Whilst still not lacking the ability to easily kill or gravely injure squishies with a good stun / through ward vision during the early to mid game. For late game she's a subpar in-and-out champion compared to the other champions I mentioned though. If momentum isn't on your side, you'll mostly mostly serve as a threat that has enough damage to draw attention from multiple enemies (hopefully with pivotal skills being blown in the process) if a good stun wouldn't suffice for a complete turn-around, which is where the extra durability comes into play if Zhonya's and Rappel isn't enough for your allies to wholly take advantage of said 'distraction'. Risky play and moreso an opportunistic soft-initiation if the moment arises than anything else, however.
If Riot continues to nerf her damage output in the near future, then I'd consider 21 offense (like I've been doing with Yorick). As of right now though, as the sheer anti-melee (plus counter-pick to Zed / Fizz) and punisher of weak early laners that she is by default? No way; by design she's straight-up dominant if used correctly. But we both agree it's up to personal preference, so the above is kind of a moot point. Consider it a "my reasoning for..." back & forth clarification post instead.
Anything with constant ranged harrass can. Susan then only becomes a problem after accomplishing x item threshold, so your goal is either to delay that for as long as feasibly possible if your allies are doing work elsewhere or to set him back to such an extent that you can create opportunities elsewhere, be it on your own or alongside your team.

Whoa the Corki Q buff
Not really. Note the difference in the spell description ("lobs"). I believe it's a delayed AoE effect now, similar to Varus' E, although I'm assuming slower because of the buffed ranged and mana costs. It's a change to Corki that's been a long time coming.

http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/26305-unofficial-pbe-patch-notes-for-11-7-2013-infernal
Both sites update around the same time.
Has there been any mention of new items, or significant changes to existing items, not including the jungler and support stuff? Stuff like bringing in Entropy to make another build path for Phage, or changes to Atma's, etc. Only thing I've seen so far is some minor value/cost adjustments adn I don't recall seeing "hidden" items on the laners in those leaked pro playtest screenshots.
Do tell.
I haven't seen a single Hurricane in any of the "leaked" screenshots.

Yay a good sale. Time to pick up leona and syndra.
You're drunk. Go to bed.

urgh, that Corki nerf.
Why Riot, why!?
Why Riot, why!?
Because an instant ranged AoE burst with no warning is bullshit? They've mentioned many times how Phosphorous Bombs works is the big reason they've had so much trouble balancing Corki.

sure, but there's no need to nerf rockets as well.
Like if it was only the Q change, that would be fine. Less mana and longer range for more counterplay? No problem with that at all. The rockets nerf is dumb, especially since they nerfed them already last patch.
For sure, which is why I prefer to play say trist instead of vayne at lower elo. Easier to stomp in lane and snowball

They removed the AP buff on Lulu's W since the first pre-season 4 PBE patch, I believe. Trade-off for the utility scaling on supports.
Now to wait half a year for them to add an outline for her ultimate's radius, similar to Cho'gath's Rupture.
Lame-ass midget had it coming. Good riddance.
Want to try it. Looks cool.
Not entirely sure adding an on-cast visible ring around an ability that fires instantly is going to help people avoid it. I suppose you could add two rings around the ball permanently, one for W and the other for R. That would be nice counterplay, actually, if a bit visually messy. Lots of times I damage people with W because they step a bit too close to the ball. Feels a bit like cheating, somewhat.
I don't understand why blindpick normals keeps putting me on teams with a significant gap in experience both within my team, and with the opposing team. I have ~80 wins and keep getting paired with players who have ~250+ and the other team almost always has one or two players with ~750+ wins. I didn't think much of it at first, but I started to track what I was being paired against in matchmaking in my last 15 matches and it's always the same: a significant gap in the relative experience level between the teams.

Bjergsen's Syndra makes feel inadequate as a human being.
It's incredible.
Like, if you want to see what that champion can do in capable hands, watch his stream. She'll be big in S4.

uh, why would that be needed?
No Lost Vikings or Rock & Roll Racing means no sale for me. Not enough of a fan of Blizz's big 3 IPs to lure me away.

False doges make me sad.
Last match, Susan goes sanguine (lifesteal) first and get no more items until 25 minutes. goes like 3/10. shit was sad, bros.

Not to avoid it, but to provide clarity whether you're still in its zone. Too often do you still end up being sucked in when you think you'd be completely out of it, and it would make using Flash or a mobility skill to save your hide less of a gamble (as to whether it was actually necessary) beyond a certain distance. Think of it like Jarvan's combo before it was cleaned up a tad; you'd regularly still get knocked up even when either champion didn't really seem to 'collide'.
She's been out for what, a year and a half? And it's still hard to get a good feel for its maximum distance when on the receiving end, despite her popularity. On top of that, even Orianna's themselves occassionally get caught off guard with just how far the ultimate's reach is in terms of pulling someone back in. Just sticks out given Riot's fixation on making many aspects visually explicit (or improving them to a higher standard).
Ah, been watching Ocelote stream.
I don't understand why they don't just have you check a box for what lane/role you want when queuing for Ranked. You want a popular lane like mid and top, you'll wait. Hell, make it so that whatever the most desired role is gets like 10% more IP if you want.
The way it is now is broken and dumb.
