Don't get me wrong. I still love the champ and I still win with her but she falls off so hard late that yeah, she's just a CC bot basically.

Love this set-up. Lets me get off consistent harass and poke without fear of getting rushed down because I can just escape and slow. Should've tried this vs. Tryndamere.
That's the darien build that moved Gnar from being thought of as weak to start being banned.
Is probably one of the best builds.
Most likely, yes.
You're in gold 5 and the whole enemy team is in platinum???

They should rework Elise in what they invsioned but couldn't make due to time constraints.
G2,g1,p3,p5,p4 and then the following game it was g1,p3,p3,p5,p4.

What did they have in mind?
Searching alone?
You probably got shafted in the placements, assuming you don't duo queue with someone in these games.

They didn't say much, but for example Rappel wasn't a gap closer, she'd go up and kinda prowl on people that passed under her with a web.
I'd have to que alone to test it because the games prior to these had unranked people since I was still placing.
And yes I got trolled in my placements but it's whatever.
Critplank hurts so hard.
I'm going to try and salvage a 5-5 in my placements tonight by just playing Zyra in the final two. It gives me my best chance I think. After the DCs and elo boosters, I'm a little irked at how they've gone.
Save me, Queen Zyra.
Pretty sure that I'm not going to end up gold again, so I just don't want the climb out of silver to be too long.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Top is never available so I don't get to play him.
Fuck your communist socialist unamerican plant waifu future. I'll stop playing Nami (and or Sona?) When I'm dead and buried!!!!

That is how I feel with so many champs. A few of my friends had azir then I tried him last week and I was bad real bad.
How sad, top is the least popular role when I play.
Also all these Zyra > Nami sentiments makes me want to stand by the fish even though I like them both. In the end, Nami is the superior support.

nah sustain supports are getting less popular since shit like blitz/thresh/leona are coming back into prominence (though thresh never really fell off.)

Inf. Edge on Renekton...ummm well he does have an enhanced auto attack, so why not.
Well that's one way to get 100% crit chance :V
When can we expect the new thread oh great Dobe?

Couldn't stand seeing Thresh in diamond last season. Every game it was bad Thresh hooking into like a full minion wave, and then I hear:
"Omg, trash ADC does no dmg"

In the middle of teamfights those 2 seconds will make or break you.
I was very happy to face Thresh for this reason among others. After all his nerfs, Thresh is far from the free win he was before. Now Thresh often needs to be decent to get good results.

Fair enough, but man...I wish I can use TF good :/

Blitz punishes poor positioning, something players in low ELO don't usually have.
You should not be picking thresh unless you are:
A) confident you can flay out any ability and know the timing
B) have a great understanding of laning mechanics and know your power spikes
C) can hit more than just the one off lucky hook in lane/mid game. It'll take at least two hooks in a row to pull any sort of victory in lane. Time summoners people! Also for the love of God look at the lane minion positioning. Thresh actually has the reverse effect of blitz when it comes to hooks. If the new wave is coming and you hook you take all that minion aggro! While with blitz the best times hook you can have is landing it while your new wave is arriving to put the enemy in a minion block.
He is seriously trash in inexperienced hands now but still top tier among the true mains. The worst mistake I see threshes make lately is throwing a random hook while your team is fleeing a lost objective. They pause and lock the animation just asking to be insta killed by the enemy team.
Edit: I am a trash thresh now. While I have the understanding my execution/ mechanics are poor from not playing him consistently.

Well, I'll be having more free time after next week so Costy and I will start building it by then.
Should be faster since we're not going full retard for OT9. Still, we'd appreciate if people didn't spam waifu pictures when there's like 1-2k posts to reach 20k (or if you do at least post some void champs too pls).
You mean poor positioning is something players in low ELO _do_ usually have?
Also I am still struggling to catch all the champions with only 2232 IP at the moment, but if Riot insists on releasing another champion, I wish they would release a normal human again. I don't like monster champions.

Co-signed.
But I really, really like Nami. Eff Corki though, he's pure trash and people should feel bad for even hovering over him in champ select.
thats a stupid rivalrie, no one cares about draven and corki
