As soon as League's back we shall duo... Hope it's not DDoS'd again.
that's what I'm excited for
gonna spam the bird alright
lol that rune page
I know, you were on my team!
Yeah, it's getting DDoSed. The guy is posting on twitter about it.
Why do people do this? No one is laughing.
I've had a lot of success as Yasuo in mid lane normals. I usually get fed and have low deaths. I find that his mobility in lane and his wall makes him extremely hard to deal with. Using E through a minion, Q-ing the enemy and autoing, then dashing through minions, all while your shield is up is a very potent harass. Once you hit 6, you land a tornado and go in to kill them. Works a lot of times for me. Most people in mid, especially if they rely on projectiles, can't trade well with you and your shield.
The problem I've had the most with Yasuo is in a protect the carry comp on the enemy team, with no easy knock ups on my own team. Mid-Late game, I can reliably demolish enemy squishies if left alone with them for like 2-3 seconds, using ult, but if I can't engage with ult, it makes it very easy to kill Yasuo as he tries to dash to the squishies. In these cases, I usually have to wait for a minion wave, charge my tornado, and hope I hit a squishy with it.

Actually I was working against you, that's why I KS that kill on Cait

I want to play at some point too, but I don't think we ever set a time really. When can you play? I'll be around all day over the next few days.

literally any time in the next like 48 hours
4AM your time. Let's do it.
Change it BACK, BACK, YOU DIRTY APE
Yep, Swain's ratios coupled with his damage amp is insanity. Focus him or die.
Or just build early boots (to dodge the snare. If you dodge the snare, you practically take no damage from swain), MR, outfarm him and watch him be useless in team fights as he runs oom.
He is a late game tank who has early game advantages. He's kind of in a weird spot since he can't go mid effectively since he can't roam, assassinate or burst anyone down mid-late game and he has trouble going top because he can't get blue.

I wish there was a ready-made list of dropeverythingyou'redoingandfocusthisguynNOW champs for newcomers.

Like I said: the matter of maxing Q vs maxing E first is dependant on the enemy champion, but out of the match-ups you listed you would've been able to punish Garen, Susan and Singed very regularly with more points in E. You're right in that they can still try and chase you after you used your E aggressively albeit only from max distance (or anywhere close to it), but given that Quinn has the range advantage by default you can casually walk up to them a little closer as they attempt to last-hit (which'll increase the frequency of your Harrier passive landing correctly) and if champions like the above try to counter-attack (Renekton and Shyvanna too for that matter), you'll create enough distance for them to realize it'll usually be an exercise in futility while getting two Harrier procs off with good timing. Prioritizing W over Q only further amplifies this, with the increased movement and attack speed it provides per Harrier proc. So even with the notion of Q being a safe tool for ranged poke, in the end it's still less consistent against melee's due to the Blind debuff not always being a valuable stat against a top laner (all of the ones mentioned in here), it being a skillshot, a top usually having enough self-sustain to shrug off Q harrassing after positioning properly and it potentially pushing the lane hard as well if the opposing laner sticks close to his minion waves whether you directly hit him or not.
Secondly: even guides from high-ranked Diamond players tend to have iffy advice in them, especially when it comes to itemization. In this case I don't agree with their decision to rush Blade of the Ruined King at all; yeah, she's an auto-attacker and it's rarely a bad item to purchase eventually, but based on my own experiences top Quinn feels rather underwhelming if that's her first real item. Plus it doesn't scale well with her Q (when maxing it first) if you do manage to scrounge up enough money for a Cutlass relatively quickly. I've seen other die-hard Quinn players forego an early BoRK as well, and as anecdotal as it is, they've generally performed better than those who followed opening builds that are similar to the ones seen in your links.
I will add that I was wrong about Quinn's E boosting the slow on it per rank, but it staying at a static percentage - 50% is nothing to scoff at in conjunction with the minor knockback and the additional distance it creates - doesn't negatively affect its lane dynamic regardless. And your approach still worked out evidently based on your scores, so I'm primarily chiming in with a different point-of-view that I feel is better suited for top lane rather than outright saying "you're wrong!" or anything of the sort.
Never want to duo with my silver friends ever again. I don't mind if they suck or not, but the people that I'm getting grouped up with are so fucking horrendous. I had a Janna support who didn't ward river for the first 10 minutes. Had a trick2wannafuckingbe Udyr running around not doing jack shit. My friend was Garen top who sucked monkey dick, and only other guy who did fine was Gragas mid.
Never again.
Never again.
now you're just looking for reasons to complain :I
Gonna cast a 1v1 tourney in 20-30 mins, just for fun

There's nothing wrong with that.

You send your your adc/supp top and they push down the turret really fast, while they can't really kill heimer's tower, then rotate back and gg
Except we didn't have an ADC, Teemo Heim bot, Wukong mid, Leblanc jung, Riven top. While I'm not opposed to such picks it was the players themselves that made it bad.

The problem with that in the top lane is you really shouldn't be vaulting on people offensively outside of supporting a gank. I don't know what kind of scrub-ass losers people are playing against where they can get away with using it just for poke/harass in top, but any player who isn't completely asleep at the wheel will punish you for that shit eventually.
It's the same with Vayne top, you don't just Tumble around randomly for extra damage. That's your freaking lifeline for when Renekton decides you look good enough to eat. Completely different from Vayne bottom, who can use it practically off CD just to auto-reset for CS.
I don't think so. I was playing him and the isolation mark didn't appear when their garen was right next to the turret.
First time playing Elise in ranked. Second time playing her ever. She definitely has a pretty high skillcap, and I can see why she's 100% pick/banned at major tournaments. That E is so strong. Also that Maokai kinda stole Nid's lane lmao.
I don't like Elise she feels clunky to play and slow. Only used her once tho. and fed.
ah ok
I also learned today that you gotta be really close to minions not to be isolated. like stupidly close
jeez
I'm maxing Q->W->E when i'm playing her as a Gank Police jungle. Q is the skill to engage and to chase enemies. If you can land it on a champion it does a lot of dmg while knocking them a bit, and if the fight's long enough cd will end and you'll have it again to catch a fleeing opponent. Sometimes it just melts low hp characters, and that's fun.
W is next, to peel off that tanky champions, and E is basically an AA resetter.
When I'm playing her on the top lane my skill choice depend on the enemy, but it's mostly E->W->Q.
