I think as long as you're getting this upset at how other people are doing in your blind pick normal games that you should really consider getting upset at yourself for not having less than 5 deaths every game or only having 130 cs in 35 minutes or building silly things instead of being gold efficient.

You could also choose to chill out a biit and just try to have a bit of fun with things instead of getting so riled up about your blind pick normal experience.
don't you feel silly now?

don't get mad about normals. it's perfectly okay to fuck around, try new champions or odd builds in normals.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

I mean if your team is retarded then most of the time the enemy team is also retarded because matchmaking, so a non-retard like you presumably are should destroy all of them

Sometimes I think I should go back to maining Janna.

It's always fun when the game is basically you + your adc vs the world for 90% of a game and you win the 2 vs everything. (Our nid's score comes from only being a lil behind in lane and then sponging off trist and myself for scorepoints for the first 30 minutes)

Also I did more damage to champions than our kha'zix.

Given team comps and builds, no, your team just doesn't have a fucking clue. I'm guessing these games are pretty low elo. Your solution is to raise your own elo level until you reach a tier where your teams do have a fucking clue.

I opened a hextech chest today and got the legendary Sion skin.

Quadz got Dark Star Thresh from one earlier this week.


Now we just need the essence to craft them...

At silver 4 you can pick more or less anything

I don't think it's usually what you'd choose to do it if you could plan your team comp, but it's probably a reasonable response if you're a late pick.

The difficulty is that assassins like Talon aren't that much about assassinating their lane opponent. They're about roaming and killing other lanes. As a tank, you may have somewhat limited ways to respond effectively to that.

what's the usual strategy for stopping the roaming and the killing in the other lanes?

Ping and hope to god your other laners have some basic awareness, or roam as well and try to counter the roam.

Three options:

1. Follow the roam
2. Roam opposite side
3. Push into turret, frantically ping missing, deny CS, do damage to the turret, hope your other laners don't die.

Zac probably actually can help counterroam given his long distance CC. I don't think his wave clear will be enough to push super effectively.
