I feel the same way. As far as my level goes the old adage that LeBlanc's biggest counter is the 25 minute mark is still true 90% of the time. It doesn't help that player are too stubborn to change their play around LeBlanc.

I buy MR. You have a heck of a time trying to get your teammates to do the same.
 
I'm wondering if I should continue to play my prelims during my break before class.

i have two hours to kill, but also now rock 150 ping instead of 40

Did the reset affect normal queues? The levels of incompetence have been much higher than usual on my random teammates these days, and that's saying quite something considering the game.
 
So, as I'm going through and making sure things are up-to-date for 5.1 ... are there any changes to the itemization for ADCs or Braum from 4.2x? I realized I probably haven't changed what I've been using since maybe June.

IE's crit chance got shifted over to PD, IE > Shiv is weaker and pretty meh if you have innate wave clear, IE > PD makes you strong 1v1.

Last night on Miss Fortune my build order was:

Infinity Edge > Phantom Dancer > Bloodthirster (they weren't building armor, it was weird) > Banshee's Veil (that dang Leblanc) > Last Whisper

I picked up my boots during the IE and PD builds. The build worked really well. I could survive their worst from Leblanc and Morgana while being able to roll Ashe and Gnar in 1v1s. Their jungler just flat stayed away from me after I got the PD done.

I think that building BT after PD is probably a mistake and that you'd want LW at that point, but their team was going high damage over armor, so I delayed it.
 
BT 3rd item is not a bad option, you get that if you need survivability / anti poke / extra damage but don't want to invest on a defensive item right away.

What are the advantages of this over Infinity Edge first? Better sustained fights if the other team doesn't have ways to quickly disengage?
Draven gets a lot more LS than other ADCs due to his Q. You can also rush BT faster than IE, so you can get a stronger midgame. Also, BT is better for dueling.

placement results from last night:

1-2.

First game I was constantly disconnecting but could still see other people doing things (reconnecting to server...). It happened when I was all-inning a Wukong as Irelia and I thought I was being DDOSed. Still won that game.

Second game, all lanes but mine got pooped on, no disconnections on my end (or my teams, I think).

Third game; my botlane literally never connected. Both of them. And they weren't the duo queue. I've played 4v5s but never 3v5s. Still absolutely pooped on the Ryze top with Irelia, but our midlaner just opened mid and let them push freely at like 4 minutes. Fuzzery still 1v1'ed their ADC.

Oh wait, our Graves did come back when they were at our nexus turrets, but a level 1 Graves at that point...

I stopped after that. Watched some streams, saw some other disconnects and shenanigans and decided it just wasn't a good time to doit.

BT>PD is a pretty good core for Draven now.

Thanks, folks :) I will be reworking my ADC build a bit and incorporating PD more often.

Also need to practice support Annie, and both Graves and Lucian a bit more and give Sona a shot. Deciding between her, Leona or Thresh as my next support.

Everybody I've talked to has said that promos are a mess of DCs, AFKs, and MMR tankers. What in the world is going on? Do people fail placements on purpose or something?

My friend played his first promo and a guy in there said he was going to lose on purpose so he didn't end up too high to duo with his friend. He apologized, and then promptly cost his team the game. My friend was pissed, waiting a few minutes, and then queued up again. The guy was in that match and said and did the same thing.

This game.

At least he'll have enough reports to probably draw an investigation and a ban. That's some really irritating behavior.

Luckily I never learned how to attack-move in the first place so I'll have nothing to relearn.

a friend of mine was pretty upset about this

to me it's really not a skill worth rewarding to be able to click exactly on the champion, so i look forward to this

doesn't seem to me like dumbing down

Support Ahri ^___^
might as well be a support without dfg and the damage amp <3
