I think that's more of the problem with Thresh than him being weak. Thresh can easily dominate a lane if you let him and still bring mobility to the table, which is really invaluable. I see many Threshes reactivate their Q after landing a hook, but most of the time that's a mistake imo. Letting him yank it then flay is more effective unless you are sure there's not going to be a turnaround.
My biggest gripe with Thresh is that once your entire team is behind, unless getting picks, your hooks are kinda useless.
I wish I was better at him ._.
I think thresh is in a decent spot right now since you actually need some skill to make him work.
It's possible he's a bit on the weak side but that should be OK. Nobody else has the same kind of utility.

how so
In dota you have rng on the regular damage on your auto hits, that's without taking crits and other rng abilities into account.
It took me the longest time to learn that all league numbers were static. I come from mostly MMOs from Square-Enix so I was kinda used to the whole RN-Jesus. lol.
In terms of solo q he feels like one of the weaker supports. His main issue is that he can't trade in lane with most supports. In the past, he would get a hook and it would be a kill. Nowadays against someone like Janna or Sona, he can get a hook and actually lose you a fight. It's kinda like current Lee Sin, strong in the right hands, but if not he's just awful.
Just go Blitz.

When will the Cops and Robbers skins go up? I at least want Voli and Trundle's to go up first :/
Just go Sona.

Managed to log in with something called CyberGhost? -_- sucks that I had to resource to that.
No one is telling you to stop playing with your friends, we're telling you that your issue isn't an issue. you are going outside of the systems intended function and complaining it's not working properly. that does not make sense.
it's not like riot is advertising free runes to trick people into playing, you knew how the system worked and presumably you could deduce the result of queueing with higher level players, so why do you expect sympathy for your position? Riot isn't going to radically alter their monetization scheme just so you don't get bopped when you queue with your friends.
that second sentence does not follow from the first. a champion can be 'different' without bending the game around them. orianna is fundamentally different, but that doesn't mean her opponent has to change their pick around her or her jungler has to pick a dive-y initiate champion or else he's 9x reported.
I think that it is fine that he is weaker in lane. I don't think he should have the best utility and be able to win all lanes as he could do previously.

The Q buff is fairly significant for his laning.

New champ's clears fine in the jungle and remains fairly healthy after her first back, given that the small heals from her Burrow add up with how relatively low of a cooldown her W has on top of her fairly quick at generating Fury. Main problem will be knowing where to place tunnels so they won't get detected shortly after digging them out, and you have to venture pretty deep into the enemy's territory to plonk down a sneaky one. At least you can more or less extend the length of these tunnels (albeit not 100% reliably) if you make them go through walls, which makes for some potentially interesting gank paths or if nothing else ganking through the lake bushes. Ganking might also be an issue and not sure where she stands on individual dueling, but I'm guessing Stalker's Blade will partially alleviate the former since she doesn't really need Ranger's Trailblazer. Wish her Burrowed Q gave her a movement speed bonus (when running towards a champion) if she landed it though, rather than hypothetically being the next generic "slow fired in a straight line" skillshot if Riot ever intends on giving it a second attribute.
Just had a game vs Kalista with Oathsworn Yasuo, and she was supported by AP Kog'maw.
Fucking cheesy shit. -_-
Everyone kept falling for their ults combined even after I warned it 1000 times, wtf. We could have ended a couple of times but Tryndamere wanted to have kills instead..

You have to go back to very early S3 (maybe late S2?). That was wheb Riot nerfed the global ults (TF, Karth, Soraka, Noct).
Global passives were nerfed for a different reason. It was because teammates got advantage in early to mid game just because someone exists.

I know it's not truly global but thank god riot didn't nerf the range on Pantheons ult. Do you guys remember how ridiculously short they were going to make it be? That would have been hilariously bad.

Rek'Sai seems pretty underwhelming balance-wise. But I guess it was to be expected, with her having basically no CC besides the close range knockup from W.
Smells like top lane material.

There aren't many bushes where you can fully hide the tunnels. The default distance is set, so if you want to place one in a smaller bush like near the Krugs, the exit will get pushed through a wall and it'll be out on the open. if you want to place in between two smaller bushes such as in top lane, you'll see the cracks on the ground. The lake bushes over at mid and the lane bushes in bot lane do completely obscure tunnels, but realistically they're never going to be around for very long.
Also I'm disappointed you can't use Smite during your ult transition. Would've made for hilariously broken drive-by steals.
I don't see why you would ever want to put her in top lane instead of the jungle. She's not bad in the jungle, just seemingly doesn't provide much early lane pressure right out of the gate. Could definitely still use extra tweaking though.

The top lane part is a joke because her kit seems really weak for the role she's supposed to do, which usually means she'll end up viable somewhere else instead.
She needs a slow on her burrowed Q, +% MS torwards targets revealed by it or something. Her ult seems like a joke considering what she can do after teleporting and the effort it takes to set it up. I mean, after she uses her knockup what can she even do? Her sticking potential seems slim to none.

I think it will take people some time to figure out how to best use Rek from the jungle, but the kit does seem like it needs a little something.
I don't want to rush to judgement on it, though. Her utility is pretty nuts so maybe we'll learn to make the most of it and find she's ok the way she is.

I was thinking the same thing, although I'm fairly sure people are fucking up her ganks. Every player I spectated yesterday moves around the entire map burrowed. Pretty sure leading the gank unburrowed, and then going down once the target makes their move is the best thing to do. Once you burrow, it's only a 1s CD to unburrow. No reason to go into a gank blind just for +15 MS. Even then ganking's not an impressive part of the kit.
That said, I'm taking Riot at face value now for her counterjungling potential once I read that allied players can see the "seismic indicator" or whatever it's called. Holy shit. Basically keep a beat on your target, put down deep wards, use ult w/ tunnels to zip around for objectives and ganks.
Yeah, they might as well have just changed the animation to a polevault with his spear. Not as big a Panth fan as I used to be, but I'm glad they didn't change it. The wind up is long enough that it generally isn't infuriating.

Does anyone even like the rune pricing model?
It's by far the worst thing about this game and serves no purpose other than being an IP sink to encourage RP purchases

It's without a doubt my least favorite part of league of legends.
Runes are ok, the pricing model is the issue.
I agree with this. They should be free. It is not a big deal I think since you only need 2 rune pages, but runes should still be free to everyone.

yeah im pretty much the best

rng affects pro players so that is an issue
Yeah, I have 8 or so support pages. It's nice to have many when you know what you want for different matchups. I like runes in general, the price could be reduced though.

and it effects people on their first game just as much as their 100000th in dotes
see, that's the real problem here.
Yeah, you can manage fine on 2 pages. Several pros in Korea only run 2 pages as well, which surprised me when I found out.
