ok every single time i've tried to post a response has ended up making me sound like a condescending dick so i'll just stop now http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=35474166#35474166 akali nerfs possibly inc on her shroud

Nope. It turns out that without an incentive for participation and with everyone in different timezones, it's very difficult to coordinate a thing. Plus, at the time of writing (almost a year ago, wtf) the teams were perceived (still probably are) as incredibly imbalanced, favoring Allan's team. x.x

i've won greater than 50% of my past few ranked games and have moved up to halfway through silver 1 how long will it be until soloq demons catch up to me

I can try to shed some light on this :\ The actual material of ranked hasn't changed much at all: it's still infuriating and whatever, classic complaints. The real change is that the system now resists your skill change, up or down. Before, you used to be able to jump up and down what are now tiers in maybe 3 games or less, which used to be problematic if you were running hot or cold streaks, or just based on luck. This new change creates maybe 5 games between 0-100 in a tier, and about 3 games additionally at the extremes to get promoted/demoted. This allows for more consistency. To sum, I like the changes, because they're made to make ranked far more accessible: one lost game doesn't do nearly as much to your rating as it used to.

LoL is too easy to play in normals and too infuriating in ranked. Almost makes me want to quit playing, sometimes.

I personally like Hydra on stuff with burst, especially Zed because, fun fact, Hydra's active adds to his ult damage, which is kind of stupid. E-Q-R-Crescent-Martial Cadence auto with J4 is one of the most stupidly well-scaling combos in the game. Lee Sin I've only tried once or twice with it, but it gives him easy sustain and waveclear, and adds to his aoe, which is nice. And Fiora is Fiora. AD Assassin/Burst Champions, of which there are a decent number, all tend to benefit from what it does for you. The only one I guess it wouldn't be that good on is Kha'zix, but that's just my opinion (his stuff scales too well with AD to make anything but Bloodthirster in that department a good choice) By the by, I completely disagree on your (Chrona's) opinion to not build Bloodthirster on bruisers. Yes, I'll give you that it does negligible things for stuff like Shen and Malphite, who don't scale particularly well with AD, but AD top champions without innate sustain (or even with) all benefit from Bloodthirster and its innate insane powerspike that makes bruisers incredibly relevant in teamfights. (ohandbuildinghydraonVolimakesnosensei'mconfused) (byenow)

J4 with Ravenous Hydra is really good. Zed with Ravenous Hydra is really good. Lee Sin with Ravenous Hydra is really good. Fiora with Ravenous Hydra is really good. ... Ravenous Hydra is really good. Holy hell.

I'm combo breaking this thread so hard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ6VStjxhBs Because yes. (Be warned; language probably NSFW)

none of the champions i play much of in the top lane take advantage of mr. cleaver though

i need vi but no money qq i really just need to relearn top lane for this season, because it's just really weird with all the changes.

okay you will all be forced to listen to this i just had a ranked game that was probably the best i've ever had, because it was like, actually people cooperating and working together. it wasn't easy, to say the least, as they had a massive midgame power spike with ziggs/miss fortune/j4 that we couldn't keep up with, but we figured it out, coordinated our ults together (i had to land some good rumble ults) and finally won after 44 minutes. all of this without arguing at all, and everyone taking blame and giving advice where it was due. that was a good game i enjoyed it --also i stole baron with my ult what's up--

....whydoesthegirlhavedeathcapandtriforce no wonder singed beats her ._.

Dog with iceborn gauntlet for like the couple minutes i was able to use it before oh wait we were down 4-19 damn it ame was good.

teemo is getting nerfed according to the PBE, more specifically the scaling on his e and the damage on his shrooms. thank god.

NO ONE'S PLAYING HER AD OTHER THAN ME I'M JUST DOING IT BECAUSE IT'S ENTERTAINING STAHP SAYING THAT SHE'S BAD SUPPORT /CAPS /rant

Mhm. Nami's is that she does this really severe swipe thing with her scepter. a few of them are interesting. also, played adc nami in normals against a fed leblanc 'n co. went well! she's just really good as an adc. I AM STILL CONVINCED.

okay so I'm gonna try some ad nami because i was convinced that it was viable and told amethyst that it was so now if it's not i'll just look silly i tried her 1v1 with my friend and some observations: she's squishy as jesus christ holy what, but also does stupid amounts of early damage and cc . her crit animation is nifty toooooo

A lot of the season 3 changes have been underwhelming to me, at least. Biscuit seems pretty useless on anything that's not a support, as does the explorer ward. Sightstones seem stupidly useful. Aside from that, there's not much that's very interesting. Boots + 3 pots still is the best start for most everything (what a surprise).
