I would skip upgrading boots for a while especially Wz. I would rather finish a big item (or even two). First two rushes are usually BT and Triforce in order of preference.
And yeah Phage first for Trinity is fine. I like it over Sheen unless the enemy likes to eat pokes.

Boobs rework, not goat
EDIT - Wait there's actually going to be another Soraka rework? lol
Jax isn't really that much stronger from last patch...
Renek nerfs/TP buffs.
I've always thought he was overpowered as hell, but everyone just says "lel hes the champ"
Well he's still at low summoner levels, so lot of people like to eat pokes.
Eitherway I stand corrected. Shows how much Ez I play, and bot lane in general.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I remember reading somewhere that Riot is still a rather small company that's trying to grow up very quickly. They should just import the Chinese splash art and call it a day.
yea, tbh that would be enough
but like i said, they could outsource that shit and still get great results.
like just get shilin (who already did the amazing sona splashart) and pay her to do it. she's literally some random girl from deviantart. she can't be that expensive
or like hire a company and be done with it
that sort of stuff drives me insane, unless everyone's trying to rip rito off because they known rito's loaded i can't see this being such a difficult task to do

man so much of playing well is confidence
i was playin last night with a couple gaf people and just having aawwwful games and it kept compounding because i would screw up and then get more scared of screwing up worse so i would just end up not doing anything
meanwhile i can hop into team builder and just go for flash hooks because i feel like it it works out more often that not
and sure part of that is playing against worse people in normals while im alone but being afraid to do stuff is probably my biggest obstacle at times.

Well first jungle jax since the feral flare was a failure. Didn't put enough pressure on my lanes, and then i had to afk for pizza delivery guy...
only valid excuse to ever afk
Yea, it's like...FQC makes it so easy to land E without any assistance for catching or peeling, and with the shift to HP runes and AP support items she just hits so hard. I was laning with a Gold Twtich in TB just now and could tell he was like "oh sh*t" cause i was destroying Thresh and he was limping away with 1/3rd HP by round 2 of our harass trades.
It's a shame our other two lanes were 0/4 by the 15 minute mark and our Shaco was getting his ass whooped by a jungle Annie. Fed enemy Jax + Zed + Tibbers too stronk.
Yeah this is definitely true...in silver/bronze/gold/platinum and maybe diamond.
Basically a lot of games (most?) get to the point where some or all lanes are winning, one enemy inhibitor tower and/or inhibitor is down, and your team is left with a choice.
Should we continue what is successfully working, grouping as a team and taking objectives? Or, should we wander around the map in groups of 1-3, randomly, until the inhibitor comes up, and the other team catches up in levels?
It's basically a 50% chance that your team will completely lose their minds at that point. It is boggling.
Maybe like me you've found your optimal true elo?
Well considering how my 5 lost jungle games in plat 2 were games where all the lanes lose + i'm part of 90% of my team kills, I don't think i'm at my true elo.
Plus the fact that I'm soloing dragons and usually 2 levels ahead of the enemy jungler until they push down our inhibs.

Dunning-Kruger effect. JK.
When I'm done being flooded by exams, I'll make sure you lose that 90% of team kills being yours.
Either it's your true elo or statistics say that after 100-200 games, it'll even out!
(or you've discovered elo hell and it's not actually a myth
)Maybe you should try being a worse jungler and farming less, so the enemy jungler and team will get a false sense of superiority. Then you can go BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM and comeback for the wins.
*edit*
Can you get placement matches in promotion games? On my third game of a silver 3 promotion series, I ended up with 2 people who have no border at all.

Not having a border doesn't mean much this late in the season. I meet people without borders in mid-diamond regularly. Remember that the border is from last season, not current season.
I guess I just figured out of habit most people would have played last season, since usually everyone has a silver border.
I tried the Xin item order suggestion of getting a tank item (randuins) before the second damage item, and I think it seemed to work well. It allowed me to survive better, especially if I encountered the enemy Udyr. I went wriggles -> randuins -> trying to build botrk, rather than wriggles (or lizard) -> botrk -> randuins.

Soraka and Nami on the same team is too much.
From experience, sex.

I see the opposite a lot playing in the depths of hell. It's pretty common to see a gold border with a player in mid-bronze to low-silver (and they generally play like mid-bronze to low-silver).

The only person having fun in a match with Nidalee is the person playing Nidalee. Like, I don't like Yi for instance, but if I'm support and I setup a gank bot and he picks two kills, it's pretty fun. Nidalee? Shit to gank for as a jungler and spear-sieges are so goddamn dull...

10/2/11 as Graves, still lose :/
Probably should have been able to carry better, but we were pretty much always 4 v 5 cos our LeBlanc would get popped on her own. No map awareness at all. They also had a super fed Darius and Ahri, so I was doing my best to position to not die while putting out DPS. was usually the only person alive on my team after fights
so hard to get decent peel as an ADC in my elo.
Also don't think they buffed Graves enough. Still feels sorta weak. Maybe shouldn't go shiv after BT and go LW instead.

Just been booted from game 'attempting to reconnect' and now i'm getting hit with the "check your firewall" message.
This person here seems to have had the same issue but there's nothing up yet on the official forums or in Reddit's ticker at the top:
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/23fyma/weird_bug_with_my_last_game/
I was absolutely rinsing their bot lane, too.

Well, I am best Nami EU so I suppose it comes with the territory.

Yeah that's what has happened now. Game can't be over yet via surrender either and there's nothing in my match history.
Sigh.
Edit: Now that I think about it, our Cait two games back randomly AFK'd and never returned too.
