Yeah, junglers will definitely take a hit. I don't think they got more of a leash before though, since bot lane took the camps. Now bot lane could spare a hit or two.
Maybe junglers will have to get buffed again.

good to see the leeg reddit is full of top notch quality just like dotos
As an adc, or I guess any lane for that matter, at what point do you absolutely need to leave your lane?
For example, say I'm our adc and i'm really behind in gold or experience and my lane opponents head mid and want to siege midlane. Should I join up with our team mid even though I know i'll be lacking in the damage department, or should I stay bot and get some gold/exp while the rest of my team fends them off? I mean, if they aren't taking the tower, why do I need to be mid if the opportunity to catch-up presents itself. I'll just be splitting experience and gold as our team will be clearing waves together. The problem is too many times, someone will get caught or will engage a fight and then freak out or make some snide remark about how someone wasn't there to help.

If the enemy team and their botlane is grouped mid, then you probably have to go mid. The only real exception is if you have a lot of waveclear mid, and in that case you need to push as fast as you can and take bot tower. Don't just be freezing botlane and farming if you're the only lane behind because you're likely gonna put every other lane behind that way.
The reverse also comes into play. If you win lane, push really hard and roam to mid as two to try to get turret or pick up a kill.

It largely depends on the situation. If the enemy team doesn't have a considerable advantage, sieging might be a complete waste of time if you have good wave clear, so applying pressure somewhere else can be beneficial.
It's not about sieging, it's about about defending turret. Also, how can you apply pressure if you've lost bot? Where are you gonna apply pressure to? The only real place pressure can be applied is bot tower, and it's never worth giving up a mid tower for a bot tower.

A second Smite stack is another one of those needless ideas in the first place, and I'd rather see what you suggested or have the Smite cooldown increased if you use it offensively - to throw out a random number: 80 seconds instead of the usual 60 - to help balance out its effectiveness. Want to kill someone with it? Better be prepared to temporarily lose jungle / dragon control over it so make it count. Furthermore, the 20% movement speed increase will be negligible for the champions that really benefit from the targetable slow right now; redundant on Udyr, won't make landing Ruptures any easier for Cho'gath, too short of a cast range for Rek'sai, Xin will still be kited like a bitch after his gapcloser, et cetera. What's the point in reducing it to Poacher tier? Do they want every single jungler to go Trailblazer's now with how Skirmisher's is already fairly champion-specific?
I'm all for more jungle changes, but I'm scratching my head at Riot focusing on tweaking aspects that aren't necessarily problematic while ignoring real issues like Poacher's being absolutely worthless. Baron's health being lowered in spite of its importance is also questionable, they're going through all sorts of convoluted ways to discourage laners from taking jungle creeps even though Riot can fix it with a single change (read: reduced XP that gets cranked up to normal values through Machete) and I'm equally surprised why they still haven't re-implemented dragon's former new abilities to help combat problem case champions who could either solo or kill it with his team real early. It'd simultaneously help feel the dragon feel more dynamic (which was their initial aim), instead of it possessing a boring cleave auto-attack and nothing else.
Either way, I'm not liking this direction at all as a moderate fan of the way the jungle is currently set up on LIVE.
It's silly that they're keeping the healing off of minions the same but then also increase the healing he receives if he Q's champions.
Be a tanky CC machine. Add a haunting guise for some extra damage. Q into an enemy, apply frost to slow them. Ult into groups for easy kills.
You're pre-level 30 right? You can play anything you want man, lol.

Would Rod of Ages+Health Jungle item+tanky be a good way to go?

No rod of ages imo.
- Rangers or Stalkers into Juggernaut for jungle item (probably rangers for sustain).
- Haunting guise for a little damage spike
- Then straight tanky or a little mix with something like Abyssal depending on team. Randuins/Banshee/Warmog/Abyssal/etc

Got it, thanks. One last thing: What should my order of ability learning be please? Once I know that it'll be Time to STAMPEDE the Rift.
W->E->Q is what I'd do right now since her changes.

If you feel the enemy can take down your mid, or if you feel that they really want to (and can) engage, you should probably go there. Assist gold really adds up. If dragon is coming up, just be anywhere accessible.
Funny thing is he actually had a pretty big nerf a while back. His fear used to top out at 3 seconds. I could be making this up but I think Riot has said before that his kit is allowed to be a little on the strong side because he relies on channels so much
He's still top 5 for sure.
ok i got ori skin, luigi and toad toys that came with some weird mcdonalds promo (was pretty hilarious to order like 8 kid combos with my friends to get the dolls) and my friend from japan came back and brought me my ryuko nendroid and a bunch of kill la kill keychains (no mako tho :<)

So guys, any tips on using Aatrox?
So far I've been doing quite okay but I'm still not sure how to build items to counter other heroes and such since I just started playing lol recently.
Also tips on masteries and runes please. Thanks.

I remember this happened once: everyone called and agreed on a role right away.
Of course someone dodged.

Got the first two Poro King icons but don't wanna play it enough to get the third icon.
I think the whole "RoA isn't good on junglers" thing isn't absolutely true anymore. The knocks on it in seasons 4 were:
the faster you completed the jungle item the more gold you could get from it;
the 10 minute stacking and;
health and mana sustain were easy to come by from spirit stone and its upgrades.
But in S5:
health and mana regen on catalyst and upgrades aren't redundant anymore;
fully upgraded jungle items no longer give gold. Instead they're all cost effective strictly via stats/gold spent, and that effectiveness doesn't change throughout the match* so you can delay the enchantment and rush RoA instead;
RoA is highly cost effective even before stacking. Fully stacked it's a stat beast - provided you can make use of all the stats.
I think it's perfectly fine to buy it early provided your champ can make good use of it.
*There's two ways to approach the gold effectiveness of S5 jungle enchants. You can either view it as a strong power spike for the money invested and therefore want them ASAP or you can see them as mid/late game purchases because they're just as valuable as early on. I think it depends on the champ and how well they can use the stats provided. Warrior on Rengar is fantastic so it's an immediate buy whereas you can delay the added tankiness from Juggernaut on Elise and pick up Sorc boots or haunting guise or both along the way if the opportunity is there.

They're wanting to move to a leashless jungle? Guess early S5 really is going to be a Nunu era.
we ran against an alistar that singlehandedly won the game for the enemy team, so yeah
i guess the way i should've put it is
yet another mode in which the champions i like are not very much fun
edit: also i think my team got really mad at me because i didn't ban anyone? i was third in the pick order so i figured i wouldn't have to ban anyone so i alt tabbed until it was my turn to pick
only the first pick bans.
weird
they specifically told me "nice bans ori" or something like that
whole team blamed me cos my ult came off too late because i was permacc'd by alistar and missed everyone. not like half our team was already dead or anything
anyways not a very much fun mode for me, i'll try playing leblanc later or something, but yeah, i don't like it much, specially when you get harassed the first game you play :/

inb4 people start bitching hard in-game because apparently Riot didn't learn shit from Ascencion
Isn't ad leblanc sort of a troll as well? Or even more trolly than that?
A lot of playing Draven is muscle memory. The real difficulty of him is kiting and repositioning. I'd say he's probably the most difficult ADC to master, followed by Kalista.
I'm very glad to see that the two free icons for the poro mode don't seem to require a perfect win or something like ascension. Getting a single win shouldn't be too hard.
Yup, a couple of us immediately had that idea as well. They both have apostrophes in their names. As long as she gets funny voice lines it's a perfect fit.
thanks, played a few matches (poro king) and hes fucking fun to play at least
no idea how it translates into regular sr but i hardly ever had him in matches since i started playing is he not popular ?
He requires a bit more time/skill to get into => less people play him.
