Someone who is learning the game will be playing against others that are also learning the game, what do you expect rookies to do, pick Maokai? Itemize properly? lol
They'll sit there and eat 100+AD autos with 18 armor.

She has the 4th highest winrate in the game. Above her are Amumu/Rammus (who are just unbalanced champions riot likes to ignore) and Sona who has always been a strong pick.
Around when NA/EU League used to be relevant.
That's actually not a bad point. I just think of a lot of the beginner top laners like Darius and Renekton and those are bad match ups for her. But yeah, you can probably Q, E, R someone down in the scrub leagues.
NA and EU meta was so different at the time. Elementz's tier list was hilarious from an EU perspective. Later on NA switched to the EU meta so I guess it was hilarious from all points of views later on.

Tried Sona in Team Builder. Her early game poke is really good, though to be honest I shouldn't be able to zone a good Leona (she should just go in and wreck me). Ran into mana problems by spamming Q too much and she melts if she gets caught. Also wasn't sure what to build on her after Talisman and Sightstone: I went CDR boots with Chalice into Crucible, but maybe there are tankier options? Despite me maxing Q first I found her damage really tailed off in mid game. Then again the other team was really fed so it wasn't the best indicator of her abilities.
Forgot to comment on this. I agree that I've been in a lot of games where one team snowballs but can't carry. As a support main I haven't had much experience carrying and I find myself too passive in general. I can get the ADC ahead but if they insist on farming instead of going for objectives and have zero impact in team fights, there's nothing I can really do (to be fair, I've been guilty of the same when I'm ADC). To compensate, I've started roaming and shot calling instead of tailing the ADC everywhere. Warding and sweeping is really helpful for pinpointing a teamfight advantage or an open objective.

i would get spellthief with sona rather than talisman. get yourself some fighting power. also boots 5, cdr boots end up being a waste since everything that you'll get gives you cdr (mikaels, your gp10 item, locket, frozen heart)
lately i've been experimenting with low tankiness builds on her but it really didn't work so well, so imma go back to 0 14 16 and building her straight tank
i've been enjoying getting blue pots with supports tho, tried it on sona and thresh and felt like a pretty good investment
this migxa ama is nice

It's kind of amusing how Elementz just disappeared after that.
His tier lists would be really important occurences, now all he does is go on reddit every 6 months to post a video to bitch about how solo Q sucks and he can't leave diamond 4.
he announces his comeback pretty constantly too
i think he's in the extension tournament thing for lcs
oh he's just coaching the new coast team
dude is great

i think both clg and crs were on top when he was on the team too haha
oh man remember when he made that video complaining about sainvicious in the backyard of the house at night that was great

I'd be tempted if I didn't need, like, a dozen* games to get all the Dominion out of my system, never mind my laners being obscure and not having touched Treeline since last season.
* May or may not be exaggerating.
2500 Kbps bitrate should be decent enough picture quality without hoggin' up too much resources, and the nVidia NVENC also ought to have a minimal effect on your framerate. You don't need much further tweaking that strays from the default settings if you're just recording locally.
nice to know evil 'go back to league' genius starcraft players still get work.
I know people play him top now, but I'll always take him mid. I can't burst Renekton. Swain god demands blood, not farm.

It took me two days to get from Silver IV to Silver III, and I haven't been able to win once since. I'm pretty terrified of demoting and reversing my progress, haha. I can't really blame anyone, though. I have a lot to improve on.
What's the ideal build for Ezreal? For the longest time, I built Triforce > Berserker's Greaves > BotRK > IE > Last Whisper > Guardian Angel. But then an Ezreal with Muramana and Iceborn Gauntlet wrecked my team. So I've been trying out Manamune > Ionian Boots > Triforce > Bloodthirster > Last Whisper > Defensive Item/IE. I'm pretty sure these build paths are all kinds of crazy, so I am seeking GAF advice.

what does learning mean ? i mean im not exactly an amazing player but i can mostly hold my ground in a lane. just asking because skill gaps in this game seem to be huge
sometimes i get matched with extremely bad players, other times i get stomped by players who have 25+ kills at the end of the game
another question. how does the trueskill system in this game work ? are wins more important than getting a lot of kills in a game ?
is it normal that lux cant kill champs with a full combo ? i mean like Q-E-R and an auto attack. i get that it depends on items but i go for full ap most of the time but it still works very inconsistently
been playing for around a week now
appreciate some help

Is it wrong that im leaning towards adc TF than regular TF?
yeah but some of them cost an awful lot. i wanted thresh and zed (i think thats the ninja) but they both cost over 6000 ip lol

Wins and losses are the only thing that matters. Lots of kills do not affect your mmr (match making rating) at all.
yeah league has a pretty unfortunate system for ppl who get attached to particular champs early on, like luckily I didn't really care I liked playing different things all the time
newt doesn't like champs that get spammed a lot but are often played poorly
all those champs are fine if you put time into them tho
You can get pretty far with cheap champions. More ip doesn't equal a better champion.
This is the next biggest thing once you're comfortable playing in lane. I've gotten a lot better recently about buying wards every single back no matter who I'm playing as, and as a result we've had better vision overall throughout the game. Now it's a lot more noticeable when people have good map awareness or not, because people will get caught when the jungler walked through not just a single ward in a bush, but multiple down the path.
All I'm saying is check it like you do car mirrors when driving, it's hugely beneficial later on for making calls on objectives and stuff.
uh oh......
100% truth.
