he lagged through two ban's man, the dodge has nothing to do with ghost being viable.

inside joke with my friends and i, it happened because i bought a nashor's tooth as MF one time when i was doing good, it was hilarious.
here's the clip of it happening.

I don't see how any team signing up Locodoco is a partnership worth applauding, but since it's TSM I'm looking forward to having them lose even more frequently than they already are with his "help".
waifus do not die. sometimes they go away for awhile, but true love withstands the tests of balance patches and rekindles stronger than ever before.
They thought Zyra was gone.
buried under the tank/hard engage meta.
shackled by patches.
but now they grow weary, they complain about the tanks that protect them and long for a return to squishier supports, They know not what terrors they unleash. my plant goddess will show them the price for turning their backs on the one true support. [also there will be periodic xerath/miss fortune freelo, but mostly rarrr plant revenge!]

Question, as I just kinda playing Nami: is there a reason you put 2 early points into bubble instead of heal given how much duress Jinx was under? My understanding my be limited, but it seems like the extra point in bubble was not useful for setting anything offensive up...and Jinx had to back twice due to harass and should have died twice to Vel harass (making it away with something like 50hp in the first 7 minutes). I feel like those close calls wouldn't have been nearly as close with 2 early points in heal instead of bubble (with a rush to max heal/W first, then E). But I'm not sure. Thoughts?
I was also impressed at how poorly Jinx's positioning was most of early game. Vel can be effective, but he shouldn't be *that* effective.

CDR Elise is so much fun
You get a stun! You get a stun! Everyone gets a stun!

That makes much more sense. I think I and someone else just interpreted it as the ghost being a large part of the dodge.
I feel this game we didn't play bot properly. We were able to deny Kog creeps but we needed the kills. I hate laning vs Morgana. I love Morgana.

There is no reason for it. I panicked and press alt+Q instead of W. Maxing W is usually the way to go.
Just a heads up - Riot ES will be doing a livestream of the updated SR in about 1.5 hrs

I watched half of this one. I'd like to think when I'm sucking it up as an adc I at least own up to my shit. That Jinx was off her rocker. It's Cait and Velkoz. Dodge the harass or play super safe.
You're right. Gold adcs are super nice but not very good.
Talking of Twitch, had some shenanigans as the rat today. Had a Lee Sin support, only he didn't connect for ten minutes. I was up against a Veigar, Mord, Lux bot lane. That was not the worst thing.
A few minutes after Lee comes on (and proceeds to start taking CS) our Aatrox pipes up. Bad build he says. I am puzzled, it because I have no farm due the threat of two stuns? No, BortK is bad on Twitch, you need BT then PD.
I just...but pro builds...and all the lcs.. .wat?

Protip: Max E unless you are losing lane. E into Q becomes so easy.
I'm also in the camp of maxing E if we're doing fine but lately I've seen Namis max W first and harass all day long. Problem with maxing E in solo queue is that adc don't always follow.

I usually stick two in E and max heal.
Maxing E is reliant on your ADC making the most of the buffs where as with heal you have some more 'direct' control over proceedings. Obviously, this depend son how responsive your ADC is to using E to harass rather than farm ¬¬

I've got a couple more I'm going to rotate through. I need to clean them up though.
Haha nice. Hey at least it has some stats she can use.

It'll probably be even stronger next patch when BT gets rekt.
W is much more draining on the mana, it is very taxing when you max it. Landing perfect Ws can be dependent on your adc as well, if you want to land double heals. If you don't land double heals then it's kind of a waste on mana to only use it single target. Sure, it sustains, but you might as well use 2 rank 1 W instead of 1 rank 3 W for 5 more heal at 40 more mana cost. You might be forced to max W in a losing lane though. Sometimes I get 2 ranks in W early and keep on maxing E though.
E is definitely at its peak when you are premade with the adc, but the relatively low mana cost makes it such that it's not a big deal to "waste" it. Since the E is instant cast, I typically cast it while my adc is in the middle of an auto hit. You get the first E proc in for free, and the adc is free to follow it up with more autos or I can bubble.
In an even or winning lane I'd take E any time, since it can result in a kill much more frequently than the W.

thanks bip, good luck on your journey to diamond.
You get just as much money from a rank 1 W or autohits, it's almost like cheating.

Guess I need to reevaluate my Nami builds.
Lately I'm running AP quints, armor reds, health seal, and mregen blues.
I used to run 0/9/21 but after stalking probuilds I'm seeing people go for a more even 0/16/14 split. Which makes sense because you usually want to E->auto to follow up bubbles which makes you lose the 5% out of combat movement anyway.
Yellowstar has a page like this that I will probably try. Though I might give up the 4% reduction on AOE damage for some passive xp gain since I feel like I fall behind in that regard a lot.
The item build I usually try to go for is something like:
3hp pot, 1 mana, frost (if I can harass), coin (if I'm scared)->Rush sightstone and upgrade GP5 item if possible->Chalice->boots/mikaels->banshees/aegis->situational.
Yea carrying as always fun. Even better when people notice it
Tbh, even though it's a bronze 5 match it doesn't mean that it doesnt matter. A game is a game and as long as you're having fun playing then it's just as worth it as some silver or plat or challenger game that someone else posts about.

Features most of the key focus points
Inhibitors look sick as. Monster death animations are all sweet - especially the giant frog creature. Baron Corruption on the top half of map is noticeable.
Prebaked lighting also makes the game look a lot less like DotA2 (brighter)

i can translate if you guys want
here's wat i been tellin boko:
14:09 - zkylon: they say you can flash and dash thru all the walls you can currently flash and dash thru
14:20 - zkylon: they said there's gonna be a new victory thingie
14:23 - zkylon: they say it's prolly not gonna happen before world championship
14:26 - zkylon: they say lanes look wider
14:26 - zkylon: but they're same size
14:26 - zkylon: they just look like that cos there's less noise in the background textures
14:26 - zkylon: baron has a special animation if you're in the pit when it spawns
14:27 - zkylon: maybe a special attack too
14:27 - zkylon: it has two aoe knockup attacks, a kog-like aoe spit thingie and a special attack to people near its back
14:28 - zkylon: that's beside i guess the basic stuff like the normal spitting and the clawing thingie

Also, you can't leave the fountain until after 15 seconds. When you kill mr. frog you can see frog jr. run away.

So this probably seems like a silly question, but when you're learning new characters, do you guys tend to play co-op vs AI matches a ton to make sure you just have all the mechanics down tight?
I ask this because any time in the past I've tried to play a new character outside of co-op vs AI and I don't do well (which by their estimations is "not playing at Challenger-level skill with a character"), people start spamming chat to report me for [insert stupid reason here] and I'm getting tired of it.

Here is what I compiled for my friends:
15 second barrier that prevents you to leave spawn. Better for slow machines, no need to rush buy, level 1 strats, etc.
Background has animated dragons.
New spawn and death animations for every jungle monster. Baron and dragon have health number above health bar.
Dragon has an initial push when attacked. AOE damage laser like Viktor.
Red and blue. Bases have different vendors. Bases have different visual characteristics.
Wraith are now birds.
New music.
Golems are a beetle/turtle combo.
North side aka baron side is more damaged/rocky.
Turrets suffer damage. Explosion animation.
New super minions are nice.
They repeat several times that all the layout is the same. Only a visual change.
Baron respawn animation is epic. Still has knockup, They mentioned it has an AOE spit line and another knockup for people not tanking. Abilities weren't shown, though.
New victory/defeat image.

nope, i just play normals
i might try it once on a custom game just to read the tooltips and test how the champ feels
but like don't play too many games on coop vs ai, just go into normals. if people are reporting you for no reason they're prolly the kind of people that report everyone after every game and so their reports don't actually mean anything
This!
You can cast it mid auto for the adc and if you position properly ahead it's an easy bubble on the slowed target.
One of my weaknesses with nami is late game when I don't use my e freely enough. Don't forget you can speed up a champ to land that slow and get a fight going.
Also long range nami wave initiations are icredible. If you have another champ with a strong gap closer or aoe ultimate you can catch the enemy team a screen away.

so I guess Riot Spain confirmed that the map wouldn't come out before Worlds due to not wanting to affect teams' performances.
Bummer.
Bummer.
For tanks there are yes, for squishies no.
If you're really new to the game in general, co-op vs AI is a good place to work on a new champion. However, as you get some time under your belt, it becomes easier and easier to pick up a new champ. I generally just load up normals to try out a new champ. People are generally a lot more relaxed in normals, especially blind pick.
Sure. Do you want the CDR? The healing improvement passive is great for champs with innate health regen (Mundo, Trundle, Nasus, etc). Banshees is a little more of a general good pick for MR on a lot of champs but spirit visage is still a good pick when you need those stats.
God damn. I am so excited. It can't come quick enough.

lebonk q silence removed
pretty harsh nerf but i think a move in the right direction
she's gonna have a pretty rough laning now
also heal nerfs. not enough

Removing that silence was so justified.
