I always get annoyed when a fire dragon actually does pop up, because i always tend to be on a tank in the games that they do pop up (and thus make 0 use of it)

Not that any dragon is really all that useful for tanks since the nerfed the Ocean dragon.

In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.

Cloud and mountain aren't too bad if you want to roam or splitpush.

Mountain is great because it lets you sneak baron really easily.

Cloud is great for tanks.

Is elder dragon worth the greater risk vs baron?

Tanks. Not voli, darius, or garen. Plz people. Tanks have aoe cc. Bruisers run at people.

I would have to see specific games to give better advice but you should probably just ask gendaberry anyway cause he is much better than me.
Lucian and cait are in my top four adcs (second and fourth). Basically people 4 man you every fight if you play lucian, and if you play caitlyn without a frontline the rest of your team dies immediately before you can deal enough damage and you end up being left with 3 people running you down. Adcs don't have enough kite options at the moment and at my elo most players (including myself to a certain extent) aren't good enough at peeling to keep you safe, and you have to rely on your own kiting mechanics which have to be VERY high level to survive at the moment.

I'm pretty sure last season my galio winrate was inflated because I got into many a game like that (picking mid then realizing my top was squish and their entire team was squish).
Yeah, I've started doing that on Shen.

Darius you don't see that often, to be honest garen isn't that great and generally gets shut down or ignored.
Top laners I see the most in silver at the moment are champs like Vi, Tryndamere, or Akali.
If youre playing lucian and getting killed at the beginning.of fights youre positioning incorrectly or kiting poorly ngl
I prefer they, thanks :)

OK. Basically if you go anywhere near the enemy team they immediately dive you. Even in the middle of a teamfight they will stop who they are attacking and dive onto you.

I don't know. Maybe because you only placed 5 wards the whole game?

This is actually what happened. And then eventually all 5 came mid and I killed all of them.without a tower. I probably should ward more, though.

Sure! I get on pretty sporadically, so it's probably best to friend me (if you're not already?) and then I'll check if you're on and willing!

I don't think my play is very interesting, I pick a champion at random and then pick whatever lane looks the least capable (in this case, Lissandra literally died to a turret before minions spawned so I was like "yeah I better go mid") and just try my best! I also just buy whatever items the instructor-thing tells me to (except with Sion, who doesn't have instructions, so I just buy expensive ones that seem like they do good things)

As a support main I've decided to just ban Lucian all games unless my adc wants to pick it. The two games it got picked we just steamrolled over the botlane and even had one Lucian get a penta. Feel like the champ is busted atm, along with Zed.
