Yes, it's really fun. Short games, always fighting, other viable champs.
his laning is pretty shit though

it's really not. His laning is pretty strong. It's his mid game that's possibly his weakest point.
I feel like wings is the first streamer to really "get" Yasuo. You should all watch him: http://www.twitch.tv/wingsofdeath

Yes his mid game seems to be incredibly weak as he has little way of entering the teamfight except for walking up and dashing to someone, which at that point in the game should get him killed. His hope at that point is that his team has a knockup so he can enter the fight with his ultimate.
7 normal game losses in a row. Almost all were complete stomps from the get go too. So tough to shake off.
At least it wasn't ranked. Then I'd feel even worse. Still it sucks looking back at that match history. I didn't play very well in a lot of them but really almost all were completely lopsided.
And it never helps when people are being miserable about it. Both teammates and opponents alike. League is a horrible place sometimes.
Gotta get a win under my belt soon. Losing my mind.

For a rune page for Rumble/Singed, what would be better? Mpen reds or Hybrid Pen reds?
I'm thinking Mpen/Hybrid pen reds, armor yellows, scaling MR blues, AP quints.

Another advantage I learned of playing lots of Dominion in the Spring and early Summer is that because the gold and XP flow are more or less even throughout the match, you can neither depend on being overly fed, nor are you forced to play safely because you're overly behind - this lets you really focus on your champion mechanics.

I'd play either with straight magic pen runes. I find hybrid runes are mostly useless on either ranged champions who AA a lot or champions who truly do have mixed damaged types (Mundo, Shyv, Udyr depending on build).

magic pen. You don't really get anything from the armour pen with rumble/singed.
Other than that it's fine.

Hm, alright. I was thinking hybrid pen for Rumble especially since he has an AD buff from being overheated. I guess this way saves me a ton of IP too.
Rumble's AA bonus damage when overheated is magic damage. Singed does get bonus AD from his ult however but still not worth it, particularly since you don't seem to have hybrod pen runes anyways.

I think Riot nerfed the bonus AD increase during his ult long time ago. Did they buff it again?
I think that change removed the attack speed.
The real "fuck that" for me is the slower hate spike.

"(...)enhancing his ability power, armor, magic resistance, flat movement speed, and health and mana regeneration per 5 seconds for 25 seconds."
it seems they nerf both during that change.
Guess so. Makes hybrid pen even less valuable.
It's quite fun. I'd be happy to play some games with you, but your summoner name as listed on the spreadsheet does not seem to be correct.

I didn't know that. Probably because I don't actually own rumble yet. 180 more IP. Thanks for the help.

Why don't I play Sona more often?
What time zone are you in? I want to get some games in with you.
EST.
My time is generally very limited. It's why losing streaks frustrate me
I get a game or two on Monday - one at 5:30 and one at ~7pm, 1-2 on Wed similar times. Generally I'll get a few more Friday night from 4:30 till around 9:30. From there it's just whenever I get some time away from the wife and kid
I'd definitely be down to play a few games. I'll be on Friday evening if you're around.
edit: uuuuughh. I can't even catch a break. Play Vi, crush the early game. Feed our rengar and our Ziggs. Get fed myself. Buy a little damage. I'm crushing people, wer'e getting every dragon and most of the buffs but our Cait just suicides all over the place and the rengar just stops farming and roams. Eventually we lose an inhib but so what, the game is still really really even. Team surrenders. Are you kidding me??? Fucking premades.

That Quinn... Oh my.
Also I find it funny how out of place exhaust looks.
Yeah, I changed my name. My new name is TheDarklnBlade. (No i's, just l's.)

What a bad day...
I was on a 4 win streak when I got an AP tris mid and a troll support tf...
Time to call it a day I guess.

How to lose ranked against a Yasuo atm.
1. Have teammate pick Twisted Fate adc
2. Have teammate pick tank Sejuani top, literally get 1/5th the cs of the other top laner and lose both towers in 20 minutes.
3. Have both 1 and 2
4. Lose

I never saw one before and that one didn't make it look like legit at all.
Might as well have been a bad day for her.

AP Trist works against a non-tanky team, and if the game doesn't drag so long that everyone grabs a Banshee.
She eventually just becomes a worse Leblanc.

I love that shit. Even funnier when they don't know what AP Trist can do in low elo and stay around at around half hp.

Did they patch her E passive stacking onto a champion?
edit: yeah they did.
edit: yeah they did.
It's a new champion with a high skill floor, what do you expect? People picking a champion with no real clue how to build (or play) him and nobody to tell them how to do it so it ends up being executed beyond poorly.
Rinse repeat this for every champion release.
Naturally.

There's also the other end of the spectrum, where a champ is so broken the team who has it is winning a 1v5 (Rengar and remake Eve).
ap trist should probably be destroyed the same way ap tryndamere and ap yi were
I dunno why riot takes so long with things like those
Which, again, is more because it's a lot harder to play Yasuo correctly than it is to play against one right now. He's a very mechanically demanding champion that literally explodes on impact. People are playing him with little-to-no regard to how to properly enter fights with him so "countering" him is pretty much just killing him before he actually does anything of note.
It's like the situation with Quinn where people just ult into the middle of a team because, hey, that's a thing you can do.
Edit: Ultimately, I wouldn't put much stock in how balanced a champion is during their first week or so.
Started playing when Zyra was the new champion, don't remember it being this bad as well. Perhaps I just have a bad memory though.
Actually, everyone thought Rengar sucked when he was released LOL. I remember there being threads saying AP Rengar was more viable than AD, before Riot nerfed his AP ratio or something. I believe Rengar right now is weaker or around the same strength as when he was initially released, iirc.
Yesssssss, someone got it.
Pls noo, not my AP Trist, don't touch her!
Since I've started, pretty much every champion has had a first week or so where people flip-flopped on how good or bad they were. There's only a few exceptions (Zyra, Thresh, Zac) that were generally well received (aka, "OMG SO OP") in their first week. The harder the champion (e.g., Zed, Syndra), the more likely that people just kind of figured the champ horrible by virtue of people making mechanical errors.
Generally speaking, everyone just kind of fucks up with new champions which masks any problems (both good and bad) with their design. Riven, for instance, had a long stretch of time where nobody maxed her Q first which made her lane revolve around her W use so she didn't have as explosive of an early game for awhile.
Rengar's biggest issue at release was some QoL issues with how screwy his leap and Q were: The leap wasn't smooth on attack, landed poorly, and sometimes didn't even get the AA off due to where he landed while his Q ASPD steroid didn't apply properly which made it bad in trading situations.
AP worked as well as it did because you couldn't really fuck it up and didn't have to deal with any of his issues. Just coast on DFG and a high damage nuke with tons of AP. It was more a testament to how silly DFG was, honestly.
to be fair I dunno how hard it is to play yasuo, but playing against him is pretty easy
like you start autoing with ori in level 1 and he can't do shit lol
also and unrelated I've realized I get really mad (like the u mad kind) playing arams these days. like I used to have a lot of fun but now I just find it frustrating. so remind me never to play adc or aram again tyty
