That ahri skin is the best one I've bought in a long time.

Got the legendary/expensive skin for Anivia. Such a shame her Q is still fucked.

[Noxina]

Lol wtf, joined a ranked game, but the champion select was just a black screen. Could hear the others type messages and all that, but the screen was black, so I closed the game and now got leave penatly D:

[Deleted]

anyone getting hyped for tomorrow?
I think i'll play 2 placement games and maybe 2 the day after, saving the last games for the weekend.

[Noxina]

But the weekend is the worst :O Thats when the drunk whiny flaming people are on :P

[Duronos]

I'll be playing my placements after my sales meeting tomorrow morning (god I love real estate, rough the first 6 months or so but then you get leads etc. and have so much free time), all 10 of Shaco spam. I will leave the lobby if I don't get jungle, I don't fuck around with my placements.

My boss and I are spending today practicing and tomorrow doing duo ranked. We are ready, ADC/support combo will get us through the placements.

We plan on using a few combos that are strong for carries. Leona/Vayne is going to be our main one.

Dont you get a loss if you leave champ select?

You do.

I'd highly recommend you not using Vayne. Particularly not in combo with Leona. Pretty much any standard lane will smash that setup and if Leona falls behind she's useless and Vayne's not really worth it in this meta.

If you want to play Leona, grab yourself a Corki instead.

Can't play this weekend, could play next week when I get home from work at about 11pm and all the kids are asleep.

Will guarantee to get placed in Bronze 5 and have to move up again /sigh

[Kaj392]

Or Jinx. That E combo. But Vayne can still get a good come back, depending on your elo i guess. Any good adc can get a comeback actually. Vayne is just, imo, a bigger bitch cause she can so easily 1v1 most champs. (Yes, i really hate Vayne's)

I'm kinda happy that the reset comes, fresh elo start is always nice. And even if i get placed lower, i will try my best and come higher. Mostly cause i just know that my placements will go wrong.

[Duilliath]

If you want to 1v1, grab a Twitch.

Seriously though, with such a heavy emphasis on mid game, most Vaynes don't ever get to be a force to be reckoned with.

[Noxina]

Or Leona and Graves, the early damage is sick. Can burst someone down in an instant.

I'll be honest, there are very few people I like to duo with but there has been this one guy more recently that I like that's an ADC. He doesn't generally lose lane and in my eyes that's a win win even if he doesn't get ahead... It means he's consistent and I still have pressure on dragon since our bot lane isn't out of the game.

It's worked fine for us thus far (we're high Silver, low Gold elo). Most people play with supports like Thresh, Sona, or Blitz, because they're considered "safe" or "god-tier" supports who can single handedly decide games on their own. More often than not, it comes down to skill than specific champions at this level.

I think it's at least worth trying out. Both of our champion pools are deep enough that it wouldn't matter (he plays Corki, Graves, Jinx, among others; I play Braum, Thresh, Soraka, and Sona as well; I've been intending to pick up Janna at some point too), but it's our favorite champs and combo, so it's what we're going with for now.

That's me with him. His farming is good, his map awareness is great, and he generally doesn't lose lane. I know duo is different than norms (we generally have someone else with us, if not more, and norms are "played differently" than ranked games anywho), but I have a really good feeling about it.

[Noxina]

And that is what it comes down to; play something you are comfortable and good with, it's better than "OP champion of the month"picks really, or even counter picks. For instance, as support I only play Thresh, and have been playing him for quite some time, so even if I get "countered" by Morgana it is usually an easy lane if my ADC got brain.

[Soulstrike]

well ladder reset in oce

already seeing some people going hard for that #1 challenger heh

too bad im busy lately with stuff so ill just take my time climbing

Exactly, the great thing is that I just carry the jungle pretty hard (really not trying to brag because it's just how it is when I get Shaco) and it's a win win since bot lane never loses and I never feel under pressure in regards to that lane. Good luck with your placements, may you win 10 in a row.

People liek you are why I ban shaco. Hes not worth the trouble of going against, too annoying for one champion to be. Rather face a Fizz or Godyr or whatever else you can think of

[Deleted]

Love a toplane fed pantheon crying my Shaco support is useless, even though I have highest damage on Champions, after our NUNU (!!!!) botlane fed the fuck out of Graves in about 3 minutes. Clearly going from 0/4/0 to 6/6/14 as a 'troll' pick is OH SO BAD. Better keep ulting in 5 people, instantly dying and thinking you have some use though.

Perhaps I should go through with ranked this season. Getting fed up with Platinum and Diamond (!!!!) players thinking there are only 2 or 3 good champs for ANY role in this game, then use my INACTIVITY elo as their only argument. I've seen less retarded people on American TV...
