i don't really know the matchup but to me nami should beat sona cos she maxes the same spell for damage and sustain on top of having hard cc?

I dont dislike nami but she isn't a champ with amazing lane matchups like blitz (vs sustain) or sona (vs poke) or janna. (vs all in) Obviously I'm generalizing things but her best lane matchup was Morgana, who isn't particularly popular right now since she has almost nonexistent lane pressure against most strong supports right now. She's stuck in the same abyss Thresh is in where she can do everything pretty well but it requires a much higher skillcap to accomplish things.

Holy crap, I never thought I'd get livid at a damn game before, but this came really close.
Wow, that's frustrating. Had four dragons and Baron with one inhibitor down and still my team and I couldn't finish it. Pantheon kept one man ulting the whole team when we weren't there. And when he wasn't doing that he was sitting in base. I try really hard to look at what I did wrong instead of my teammates but it's really difficult in a game like this. I know it's just a game, and that's part of the reason I'm so shocked that it has upset me this much.
I guess part of the reason it sucks is that I feel like I just wasted the last hour losing a game I could have won, losing LP and therefore negating a previous win. I definitely have to try to learn how to play for fun and not to climb. I think that mindset is poisoning me.

the main issue in the sona vs nami matchup is that nami is forced to land cc and burn her sustain in order to deal equal damage to a Sona who just presses Q and chunks you and your adc. Thus you're much more likely to make mistakes and lose trades compared to Sona who only has one skillshot.
It's heavily dependent on the Nami player's skill since there's little interaction Sona has with Nami other than avoiding skillshots and pressing q and w.
I usually remember to buy trinkets now. My main things I forget are:
- Forgetting to press the active of archangel or hourglass to save myself.
- Forgetting to upgrade a trinket.
- Forgetting to buy an elixir if my slots are full.

This is why you level E.
Seems it's time to stop playing ranked...
I was so close to gold... Was so close... but then 4 matches I have lost in a row... Each one with it's own asshole yelling in chat. Anything from the racist to the guy telling you to commit sucidie.
Just... fuck... I was so close to getting out of this...

Gold 1 ! Let's get to Plat!
I thought we would lose, since Kalista refused to go anything but adc, and we ended with 2 adc's.
The fact that Kalista said this in champ select:
Hello All! I am a NA D2 ADC main. Couldnt Hit D1 cause im trash. But I usually carry. Pls, only real role. dont be mean to me <3 Lets win
Made me worry even more.
We won in the end, but Kalista can't be D2. lol.

I really have no clue about what Riot is supposed to nerf about Ahri. Everything in her kit feels so strong right now.

Been playing some Kalista / Leona bot with a friend. Those two are pretty disgusting together. XD
Had my first encounter with a Blitzcrank support last night, though, and that was a bit annoying. What's the best way to deal with him as Leona? From what I've read, it seems like we need to ward the bushes a bunch, try to stand in our creep wave, and dodge the hook, pouncing on the carry if he misses, or if it hits (hopefully Leona) popping Leona's shield, swallowing the damage, and then pouncing on the carry. Is that usually how it works, or is it more situational than that?

You need to max Q and hit them with the spell itself. The plants are just a bonus.
if blitz misses the hook he's useless so you can zone them pretty hard. just run at the adc looking menacing, use your w if you get poked and deny them cs.
but yea you're leona, just look for the opportunity and jump the other adc. opportunity can be level advantage (levels 2, 3 and 6), your adc coming back with a bf sword while other adc has like pickaxe or something, support going off to ward, jungle gank, enemy champions wasting important spells (morgana bind/graves q), etc. etc.
i don't think there's something too fancy to do against blitz, if you jump at their adc there's not all that much he can do. i think getting grabbed might even be sort of beneficial if you can use it to zenith blade to their adc

I've had a few instances where it took a good 5 minutes to get into the game. It just hung on the match loading screen. This wasn't even just me staring at the monitor waiting, this was me constantly trying the ctrl + shift + esc to end the process, and force a reconnect with the client. Wouldn't it make more sense to call Riot to task than the player? =O
yeah, he's a fucktard because of something that was probably beyond his control

no chances are he's a fucktard for not noticing his screen's been frozen for 10 minutes.

"You want to gain elo? It'll be fun."
well well well
I'd argue this is one of her strengths, though. The only lanes I'm hesitant to pick Nami into is Leona and some Caitlyn lanes that can be oppressive, but every other matchup is fine thanks to it being skill matchups.

I am scared when Annie is lv 6 and have her stun ready to unleash to my poor adc
Now with Turbo Tibbers! <3

It's funny how confident gold Sivirs are with their spellshield. They always block the 3rd spell and never the actual stun
.Move speed should only kick in when it hits an enemy champion. I was absolutely floored when I first read the patch notes and just gets it for just throwing out a random Q. I assumed that hitting something was necessary when I first glanced at her changes on the PBE. Here you go! 80% movespeed increase for having accomplished absolutely fuck all. Idiotic. There's no other way to describe that buff. Idiotic.
She also has a best-case AP ratio of ~2.75, which is too high considering what else she brings to the table. Best candidate for a nerf is to revert the AP ratio buff to E (in fact, revert E entirely) but that'll never happen. I've never, ever seen Riot actually reverse an ill-advised buff or nerf.

Same. I absolutely hated it the first few times I did it. If I'm not on point to bubble the opposing ADC following Leona's engage the lane is done.

Just record entire monitor and set broadcast output to local files. Voila, MP4s of your league game with the mouse clicks too.
You can downsample recordings to 720p like I do to save on space.
