I always got shitted on by Graves. It's a little closer now that i've played the matchup a bunch of times, but hes still a pain.

I think Sivir is a lot of fun and she's pretty solid right now.
I saw my friend using him last week, and didn't think much of it. He's my default pick this week after trying most of the champs. He's great.

Simple rules of thumb for an ADC to follow: if even your beefy frontline is cautious to move forward, neither should you. And always hit someone whenever feasible; if it ends up being the enemy tank (which contrary to popular belief isn't a bad habit in the slightest), so be it, you're still dishing out DPS in the middle of a fight.
I'm in the same boat. I usually play the tanky deeps dude or an initiator, so flipping that switch mentally if I'm being shoved into the dreaded ADC role is problematic. Especially when you're noticing obvious opportunities that your ally isn't engaging on. I hate the role for several reasons, but even as a novice I can usually get by with safe initial play or focusing on farm as often as possible. Even moreso if I outscale my opponent's pick. Fundamentals like that are frequently managed poorly, and even paying more attention to your positional awareness is a huge boon against less experienced ADC's. Suboptimal playstyle overall, but it's a start.
Really, really fun game. Also the only game that's ever made me dizzy/worried about epilepsy. Very bright and crazy fast paced.
Seems like you always hype up draven to the best adc with little to know counters. Varus is not the only adc that can shut him down lol.
Is season 4 next Monday?

welp I'm back on the WoW train
I blame bind
Malphite is like the antithesis of someone that "needs good items". He gets the job done in the jungle, has decent sustain, good debuffs, and the strongest initiation tool in the game.
I think the pre-season 4 patch is. Season 4 likely starts around the same time that the LCS Season 4 starts, which I believe is in January.
what server do u play on?
Well even an Urgot can shut anyone down, skill is obviously a factor. There's also the fact that supports like Leona can destroy him too, so the adc wouldn't matter too much in that situation. In lane only Varus and Caitlyn can really consistently handle him without shortcuts, since they're the only two that can really kite him well. Also, Caitlyn has to be super careful, because she can't match that damage early.
Malphite is a solid jungler, imo. Like, he doesn't need items any more than someone like Zac or Nautilus.

The Maelstrom, EU.
Don't know if there is a consensus but he's fun if you build him like AS Lulu. Just whip everyone and when they see you are doing real damage to them and try to run away, hook 'em back (or hook yourself to them) and go right back to whip them till they are dead. If they aren't dead and are still trying to run away, use your box to keep whipping.
wow, a samurai swordsman who has a name that starts with "y". very creative, where does riot come up with all these new ideas?

Something like that. I was actually dissappointed, I thought the new champ would be the girl (Yone?) but after seeing how much detailed the bottom picture was it seems like it'll be the brother (Yasuo).
Seem plausible going by what was written. However, Darius and Draven were two different types of champs. If both Yone and Yasuo become characters, they'd both be fighters/melee assassins, which is really boring.
(Also, we're still due a support this year if Riot intends to release 2 per year)
you hang on to that. riot really is good at keeping promises.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe "oriental" is a term to describe objects rather than people. Like rugs and vases. They would be "Asian" champions, rather than "oriental" champions.

I'm eager to see the day Riot does something that pleases you.
Read the urgot thread and all of the "too ugly ill never play him" responses. Riot builds champion themes mostly around teen fantasy fulfillment right now, with the occasional exception. It's just the best way of doing business as the people playing for competitive purposes aren't going to stop because there aren't -enough- ugly champions. Those all about aesthetics spend the most money so its profitable fot their art design to target that demo.
Or one champ with a dual form/skills like Nidalee. You play as both brothers in one champ, sort of a jekyl/hyde type deal. Maybe one form is a brawler and the other a support?
Implying that it's even possible.

ITT people pretend League of Legends hasn't been a collection of common tropes or cliché's in the guise of a MOBA game for over four years already.
Not that Mitsurugi is particularly inspired. However, I'm okay with the lack of originality as long as he's fun and executed well conceptually.
To me that qualifies "needs good items to be a legitimate threat" as a jungler. But to be fair, there are plenty of junglers who are late game wet noodles right now even if they get the ball rolling during the early stages of the match. Regardless, even as an ADC though I'd only be scared for Malphite from mid-game onwards if he was a relatively tanky AP mid or went for an unconvential, specialized tanky deeps build (because W damage).
Not that he's remotely similar in function next to Malphite, but to me Warwick of all champions is the anti-thesis of "needs items" despite his flaws.

For an ultimate, his initiation is good. Too bad some of the currently and previously popular / strong junglers have the ability to engage similarly but with higher frequency (Jarvan IV, Zac, Hecarim, Sejuani) with more fight presence after his one trick, whilst there is no shortage of other lanes who can make up for the lack of a fast initation (Leona, Orianna, Wukong, etc). I don't view "clearing camps @ meh speed but unable to pressure most of today's lanes well or unable to quickly / safely secure objectives by himself" as "getting the job done in the jungle," there's a good number of jungle champions with better self-sustain during said clearing, his slow isn't -that- good anymore, his attack speed reduction is negated by tenacity now (and reduced in percentage) whilst requiring to walk up to your preferred target and he never does respectable damage realistically speaking.

Trist, graves if you can dodge his stuff

Can't blame me for World of Warcraft being awesome again. Phillip you playing in NA or EU? Probably EU, but never know with you.
Also for those interested, Mists of Pandaria will be available for around $10 this black friday. Multiple retailers and what not.
Ah yes. I use to always pick varus vs draven. His E and R just shut down draven's mobility so you can kite his ass with the larger range.
Varus has problems with cait, vayne and ashe. Probably jinx as well but i've never tried that match up since my experiences with him are are quite outdated.
I can't say varus has problems with trist since varus out-rightly wins the lane at levels 1-4. If you get a big enough gold lead, you dominate her in 1v1 and 2v2 situations.
Graves I can see being a problem but if you can hit charged Qs, you should be fine.
Is it actually awesome again or are you just saying that
