(also, I personally kinda like Eternum Rek'sai, though only from a visual perspective; I don't have Rek'sai so Idk if it's worse when you play as that skin.)
(Also, the Debonair skins are boss and I don't see how any champ with them have terrible skins.)

The only one I really don't like is the one that's not concussive or Ethereal (#1 and #2, resp), and I refuse to believe Concussive is terrible.

I buy that anyways, also not an armor item.
Meanwhile, got stuck waiting for the fucking game to reconnect for over 10 minutes despite resetting my modem. Idk if it even credited me with anything, but cmon, man.

I agree that for the first ~9 minutes, support is more important than ADC. That doesn't make it a good, healthy or interesting role. And it doesn't make it one that really has a direct impact on the game.
Alternate tank option if your jungler and top laner decide to go damage champs or someone cinderhulk doesn't work on; location for sustain for your ADC or your whole party (Sona, etc.); Location for good hard CC to lock down targets (Sona, Naut) or to just help amp other damage or provide some extra damage).
Still seems like you're a wardbot, though.

Considering some games require waiting for a champ's Flash to be up (which has a longer c/d than Cho getting back to full stacks), is that really a problem?
Though, in Kled's case, it doesn't really seem like he has good enough dismounted skills to keep him up.

Do they understand how to manipulate the lane?
Do they know how to punish the enemy bot lane's minor mistakes?
Do they understand when they're stronger than the other team in full trades/all-ins?
Do they know how to initiate for ganks?
Do they know how to predict and prepare to counter 4-man or 5-man ganks?
Do they know when to back? When to roam?
Do they know where the most important places to ward is throughout the game and how to determine this?
Do they know how to build? (This is STILL a common problem in my ELO)
No, but then I've barely played Support at all since S3 and it's a wildly different game than what I'm used to.
I need to find time to get my placements done. Ever since those stupid d/cs I haven't really mustered the will to try to finish those.

Acc.: I'm pretty sure Veigar is more dependent on getting Q stacks than he is killing the opposing laner. It's not like he can't, just that if it doesn't net him a kill its kinda not worth it (unless you trade with E's).

So, i got flamed in my most recent game for going cull first. I'm not that upset at the flaming simply because I know it's A.) wrong and B.) frustration, but is Cull really that bad compared to Doran's?
I know Doran's is better for trading, but Cull is for farming, isn't it?

Why is Essence Reaver a good item on Ashe, CDR aside? Maybe I'm just not looking but I've never seen her get mana back for autoing the same target twice (since applying frost shot makes the next AA count as a crit for her)

3.6k seems way too expensive on Ashe for just 70 AD and up to 30% CDR. Seems way more in the 2.7-3.0K range, since she can't/doesn't use the mana regen part of it.

The thing is, I really dislike trying to be a leader. I mean, I can ping and stuff when I agree, but I'm just not a guy who can up and say "now do this".
Not to mention I'm admittedly sometimes as lost as they are in the mid-game, so.

Anyone having trouble getting their pvp.net kernel to work so League starts up? I couldn't get it to start, thought it was because I hadn't updated since 6.19, removed and re-downloaded the game, and it still isn't working. What's up with it?
(Also, I have no idea how, but I pulled this "Cho in ramen" image from wikipedia while I was trying to deselect text on this page. No fucking clue how or why that fucking happened.)

In post 1798, Accountant wrote:Dodging is great if you want to climb, but then you aren't playing league of legends any more, you're playing the "dodge bad teammates" mini game
You're playing the "dodge bad teammates to play League" mini game, the interesting mechanic that players introduced by being dicks (or picking champs they're utter trash with, or a combination of both)) that requires you to wade through the bad players to actually be able to play on the ranked ladder. It's not no longer playing league when doing this is a prerequisite to playing league.
Also, the fact that Riot allows for at least 1 queue dodge with such a minimal loss means it's a legit and ethical strategy up until it inflicts punishments for doing it too much (the best analogue I can think of is the tilt mechanic in pinball).
On another topic, any help with that pvp.net patcher kernel not responding issue I brought up last page?
P-EDIT: So by adding a "X-time minimal loss dodge" to the game, Riot is saying that queue dodging in the short term is an acceptable way to play the game?
Thanks for defeating your own argument!
PE2: Also, that.

AP Xin hasn't been viable, much less even worthwhile since pre-season 1, I think? Definitely pre-S2.

eventually i'll be nonlazy enough to do my own studies
i wonder if you guys have any ideas?
one thing i'm interested in doing is using the "provides for the team" section of lolguru's champion pages to examine how abstracted champion strengths like "Poke", "Disengage" or "Zone Control" are represented within solo queue and contribute to winrates both overall and within/against particular team compositions
shouldn't produce terribly surprising results in general but might uncover or highlight some dynamics of the metagame
maybe as a pilot i'll just relate the stuff with champion.gg statistics
but maybe i should think of more productive ways to use my time
Number of available hard CC abilities vs. percentage of hard CC abilities hit?
Just throwing it out there.

Shyvana will be so fucking broken.
Anivia seems slightly nerfed?
Garen will be broken in ranked.
Malz looks more interesting than anything, can't quite comment there.
Kha has a bugfix. Still stupid good, though.

I guess I should start maining top or something since adcs aren't going to be very practical nowadays. I personally don't get how jungling is easy, though, since you have to know when to farm and when to gank. Or am I overthinking it?

Still, I think it's providing the IWC more international exposure since they now get a chance to deny long-standing regions a 3rd seed at worlds instead of being relegated to only 1 team representing all of them at worlds for the most part.
It's basically Worlds Groups lite, as far as I can tell.
