Its because people have to adapt to the new jungle and I find not many people can adapt.
I'll have to watch this. I hope he still plays Teemo. *edit* Nope, some weird Master Yi skin. =(
*edit again* 3 doran's blades! This is like season 3 or 4!
*postgame edit* They got up to 4 doran's blades, but the Irelia they were playing against went 5/1 and had 70 more farm. Not a good showing for The Rain Man. I consider it karma for not playing Teemo.
It was really fun watching the Lucian + Janna though. They, along with the Syndra, had some good coordination going with lining up combos and attacks from out of vision.
Yeah, thas has been my biggest issue in this patch. My jungling was never the strongest but now I keep having problems when to back when to hold a lane and overall I've lost a lot of map awareness when jungling. Also my ganks have been subpar at best, yesterday I tried Rengo for the first time and I was absolutely terrible. Since we were behind a bit (enemy team had the Devourer/Red smite Warwick combo..) I just built tank and then I was just useless because I didn't have damage and everytime I would go in I would die anyway because I am not that great (even when counting ferocity stacks and such).
Idk, I just bought Vi and tried her on a custom to see how she camps felt. I've always enjoyed her a lot when she was free, and she is "easy". Hopefully it goes well!

Brace yourselves, even less mechanical Ori players are coming.
basically you need someone that can survive his ult, through zhonyas or general tankiness (aka a top laner), so you can stop his splitpushing and just wait it out until your team catches up while he falls off
he does fall off pretty hard as you get zhonyas on your mid and qss on your adc and he'll run out of options during teamfights
but if he's pretty fed he's really hard to deal with for sure
i don't like ori hate
take it elsewhere
to deadnames land

Damn straight I'm there
Well I'm not really used to the tear build - or Ori for that matter - so I was kind of playing by ear. So normally I want Morello's right after Tear if I go that build? Got it
Not really. You're likely not hitting any Qs outside of someone ganking for you and there goes a lot of your damage.
I'm half paranoid to even buy chalice for fear Riot will ban everyone who had it in like, a month period even if they upgrade it.
That said, when I've had chalice, I still haven't seen this happen in any case whatsoever. Even with hardly any mana, the regen is normal. I mainly play ARAMs on NA, in case it's a region-specific or map-specific thing.
well, the way i generally do it is get tear + seekers. then it varies a bit. if zed's getting fed off a failed gank or something you might want to go straight for zhonyas, then get cdr. if zed's more passive or you're doing ok, you might want to test the waters and get a fiendish codex, then judge if it's worth it to finish morellos or go for zhonyas. seekers actually makes you pretty tanky as you're stacking it, so i find sitting on it is a pretty good idea. like, resist the temptation of buying a nlr even if you have enough money for it. in any case unless you're winning by a lot (and even then i find that resistances snowball pretty hard), you're gonna want to make zhonyas your first or second item for sure.
also sometimes against zed i skip the tear to buy athenes later. the build here is double dorans into zhonyas into athenes. i like it cos it makes you pretty brawly early on
i still buy chalice like every game
i don't think it makes that much of a difference, the other mid is also buying chalice, right?

Yeah, I went Tear straight into Zhonya's in that second match because I fucked up and got baited into a gank at level 5, so I wanted to make sure Zed couldn't snowball off me. I went Deathcap after that because I got stupid fed off a couple teamfights and I had bought a Blasting Wand for whatever reason - should've went Codec in hindsight - so I just finished it and got a bajillion AP - never got that far in an Ori build, 200 magic damage autos are fun.
kayle should be a nightmare for zed
You shouldn't just let him farm. If you are even out of lane, that means he won lane.

Don't keep your distance, you're Kayle, make him your bitch
Turn E on and auto auto auto auto auto auto and if he tries to trade back heal yourself and keep thrusting that sword up his butt. Kayle is one of Zed's worst nightmares, but you gotta play as such.

but minions...seriously the enemy minions go too aggro when i attack enemy champ >_>;
This becomes a bit of an issue when I'm farming since I'd risk not killing minions for gold.
Thanks for the tips tho, I'll use them if I ever go mid against a Zed.

EDIT:
If you want to buy overpriced stuff the merch store is now live

they're 25 with 5 shipping and potential customs costs.
hoodies are like 65 to 80
the prices are obscene

I guess NA doesn't include tax but still. so dumb

I dig the 2014 Worlds hoodie.
The merch store is ridiculously slow, must be getting hit heavily. The posters seem like good value and the shirts as well.
I'd assume NA pricing is based on the states where Tencent operate from.

Game went as expected vs a Diamond V person with 80 games played as Fiddle and a 61% winrate.
Top was the only one that was doing well (Zed and Kalista were terrible, same with Fizz support) and only because Fiddle ganked like 4 times (I ganked twice or so).
We got up to 4 dragons and I think at best they got only 1.
Is it ok for me to do such little damage? I went full damage until Fiddle started wrecking us. Really annoying to deal wit hhim tbh. Everytime we managed to kill him was a celebration: "yay, now he only has 10 stacks!". lol
Don't be too worried about your damage vs. champion stat as a jungler. Instead, focus on improving your kill participation; damage will follow. Also, 80 CS as a jungler in a ~45 minute game tells me you're going around the map aimlessly.

I think Azir will be FOTM soon since he'll be allowed on tourneys. He can be very oppressive at top especially against melees.
Yeah, going around aimlessly plus constantly trying to gank ._.
Still working my way around! This last match I got a 51% kill participation! Could have gotten a couple because I did set up ganks/flanks but didn't get to touch them >_>; but I did influence the kill definitely! DD:
I hate silence as a mechanic. Silence and suppress are both so stupid. Oh wait, one champ has a silence and a pseudo-suppress? Cool champ!
You should play ranked, then you don't have to deal with unbalanced teams like that.There are some games that are winnable...
This one wasn't one of them. ._.
(I was doing better than Nautilus at one point but bot pressure was too much then)
Well yeaaah, but our Soraka is a person leveling to 30 (and still new to the game, though comes from doto) ._. so it's not like we can just do ranked matches instead of normals (not sure if my friends would like to anyway).
I am usually fine with a little challenge but yeah, when it hits on the "weak" lane then it gets really noticeable. I don't even get mad but, our friend that plays ADC picked Vayne... knowing he can't really rely on our Soraka. So I was a bit harsh with him about it but whatever, a loss is a loss!

Your honor, I present to you exhibit A.
The leave was a power outage...
Seriously! Try this build before she gets nerfed. It's hillarious!
Hurricane...eugh. I know it's good on her but I'd rather build up on the AP first.
