Individuals in a team-game psychology, IMO Uta that was very well-put. My personal fave is people complaining of 'team-fagging,' as it were, which I can only assume is the term for an idiot out of position being ambushed and team-ganked.
Apparently that's not how you're supposed to play. Other gems include how the loss is everyone's fault but your own, and lag.

should play my crew, we stomp all the boys and girls  just send me a good time to scrim in game warning: playing against my team may cause players to seriously rethink how good they are, and/or quit playing all together (4 teams have disbanded after scrimmaging against my team a few times) I think I remember running into your team pre-season 1 and wanting to quit Pantheon afterwards because of how helpless I felt, LOL.

I'm a bit guilty of having two very simplistic and straight-forward strategies... which is why I was getting really flustered after the losing streak: 1) Farm 2) Win teamfights
So then when we couldn't win teamfights I was like ??? because I rarely, rarely have that issue with team comps, and when you think about it that's basically all I tend to do, abuse stun-heavy team comps and win... but then we were running two solo laners with no disables and it was totally throwing me out of whack, hahah.
Edit: It's kinda why EzPz was raging about "running around like headless chickens" and I was just minding my own business farming creep >_>

Who says that I'm a complete asshole to everyone? Are you everyone? I've been open to teaching noobies about mapawareness and such. You were probably yelled at by me for making the same mistake over and over again without doing anything to remedy it.

actually all you did was call me bad incessantly while our team was complete owning a game.
also I find it absolutely hilarious your use of the term "random" as if winning normal games with jungle yi makes you superior to everyone.

Edited and fixed now. It just slipped my mind. Or maybe it is a grudging resentment from you never carrying me before in an LoL game? The world may never know.
On a moere serious note, how about the finer details of using TF ulti? Some people manage to use it to catch people who are low in jungle. I never felt confident enough burning ulti to check for this.

I'm going to completely ignore rice to avoid getting banned by GTR again.
Anyhow, I've always been a fan of using my ulti regardless if I'm looking to pick someone off or not just because it can also save you or your teammates from a massive 3-4 man gank during midgame. Not to mention that you can save yourself from instagibbness from a gank after you cleanse the cc's.
TL:DR Version -
I use my ulti whenever I can.

It comes down to knowing junglers and when they're weak at certain timings. It's like using Scan in SCBW to look for muta spawn time et cetera.

Late game TF? Hit that button every single time it's up and you see less than 4 of the other team on the mini map.
Early TF? hit it when your duo lane has been level 4 for a few seconds. level 6 for a few seconds.. etc. Just knowing when other junglers are low health or ready to gank is a big plus.
Maybe I could make a spreadsheet on that.
edit: oh yeah, knowing creep kills on the jungler and where that means they are on the map is huge too.. really only can tell this for your first ult though.

Imo, late game tf can pick off most roaming tanks + pushers with teleports.
For example, I LOVE picking off pantheons especially whenever they leave their team's side to clean up another lane thinking that they can just ulti during a teammate. I have my doubts against shens unless I have red buff because shens have stupid damage output due to ki strike.

I feel like Pantheons also love picking off TFs that think they can ult into a teamfight, lol. Weird stuff going on in that matchup.

Pantheon would win early game hands down due to his spell scaling. But in most of the late game play I've done against pantheons, I tend to rape them because flash + cleanse > his stun and HS.

I would gladly fill the ranged dps category if I didn't play at 15-20 fps during most teamfights 
Anyhow, back to the TF lvl 6 gank on the side lanes. I generally tell my sidelanes to start playing more aggressively when I'm at lvl 5 1/2 so that it's possible for me to gank the one that's at low life. If it can't be done, just go back to ricing up mid as much as you can or give some relief to your side lanes and have the jungler hold mid while you allow your other lanes to shop.
TF = Map control

Have any ballpark figures for common junglers?
WW/Amumu?

tanktheon typically stomps TF in the nuts if they fight 1v1 late game. stupidtheon drops too fast, but if you can eat 2-3 seconds of TF burst, you just trade Q with gold card, then W -> Q -> ghostblade activate, and you stomp TF.
EDIT: LOL, they're still using HSS on you!?!?!?!?!!?

It's more that EzPz usually does ranged DPS, so then when he gets WW instead (cuz MF gets banned/picked) we end up with weird comps like WW Sona Panth Sion Vlad and it's like WE FORGOT AGAIN. It's silly and unnecessary, hahah.
