I don't think there is any bad tanks as such, they're just not in vogue atm.
That's not to say you can';t still be important if you play them well. Shen and Nunu are certainly fun, Mundo too if you do really just want to be a meat shield.
You could go a bit left-field and go for Galio or Yorick. I feel like no one knows how to play or play against Yorick so YMMV.
If you're talking jungle, Sejuani is tops. Cho'gath mid/top is pretty decent right now. Malphite is a pretty good champ in the top lane
and jungle!

Hi guys, am I late for the party?
Also Cait is fun. Such a pity I haven't won with her yet but I'm at least enjoying the game again.

Would a Rod of Ages still be worth it on him for some extra damage on his E?

If it's damage you want it's on his R - over 1:1 scaling IIRC. Maybe grab a Liandy's for the pen, AP and HP and due to it scaling with his slows.
Even so, tank items are still the way to go IMO. His R's damage is joke if you get a full one off even without extra AP. BV to block any stuns and then enough HP and defences to makesure no-one takes you down in the meantime.
His W speeds you and another up and his E is there for pure CC (the slow doesn't scale with AP IIRC).

Thanks guys for the feed back will try them out. 
The answer is no. Take all the money you spend on skins and start a Roth IRA. You're welcome.

Don't ban Sona, pick Blitz/Leona, enjoy the freelo
You're right, that's the better choice. Thanks.

i keep thinking about bard and i dont think he does anything
he just seems worthless
but i dont know this game so
also there is a leeg tournament in my town in a month i should go stomp them all right
if everyone did that gaf would have the best retirement community

God. Seeing her splash art move like that is unsettling.
Hit me up. I still got a good 50 years left.

I don't play support, but it's more me perma banning her so my team doesn't pick her. 9/10 times it'd be people who have never played her before and is just doing it because of the skin.

Starting to see some Mao support in high level streams. Hopefully that doesn't become a thing.

It's just cause QTpie is on Vayne and the whole enemy team is designed to murder him. Point and click lock down is nice but Mao is pretty item dependent.
Stone Ocean
Member
It's not just QT though, I've seen Mao supp a handful of times in the past few days in other streams as well.
Might be the just a one trick pony situation.

Yeah I figure Rod+Liandry is all the damage he'll need and then just tank up.

He can definitely do things.

Imagine getting that ult off on a couple of enemies out of position in a team fight. It could turn a 5v5 into a 5v3 for long enough to make a huge impact.
His portals can lead some pretty effective ambushes.

Probably not the best examples we'll see, but the potential is there for sure.

DJ Sona will end up costing me $10 after accounting for a gift card a friend got me a while back that I haven't spent yet. That, coupled with the "it's on sale so I should buy it before it's full price again" mentality, means I'll probably cave...
....and I don't even play her that often.

yeah but what if you could kill them while your ult was on them instead of just using it as a stun to catch out or escape to get away

what if the tunnel thing instantly one shotted whoever was on the other side of it friend or foe
that would be cool

Because it's a drawback plus that would just be Leona ult
At the cost of not being able to do damage he gets to stun entire teams and objectives for almost 3 seconds. Same for his E, being able to use an enemy portal is the kind of thing that lets his portal be a cross lane Liss E

No, but the LP amount isn't important, it's your MMR that is.
If you've been getting >15LP so far for wins and less or equal in losses then you're moving up in MMR even if your title doesn't reflect that. This gives you some leeway when it comes to possibly losing promotions. I lost 4 games on the bounce once hitting S1 from S2 and didn't get demoted because I was on about a 15W/5L spree on my way from Silver 3 up to S1.
I don't think it does. Just the way the cookie crumbles I guess.
ya all the stuff Terb said about MMR

I just noticed the range on Bard's ult, the fuck
oh alright. seems kinda stupid that you lose lp while doing promos but ok
ive been getting 19lp for a while but the last two games i got 26lp seems like a crazy spike to me idk
