since i started playing i think i see shaco, ashe, katarina the most
and r33k, ur an idiot. u don't play solo queue and leave. only immature children do that. if u play solo queue you stick it out, because u should anticipate retards. otherwise why are you even playing. when u leave you screw everyone else out of a decent game. i've been pissed off but i never leave, i just stick it out, because i can stand to lose an annoying game every now and then
leavers really piss me off. it's incredibly selfish. oh boo hoo my team isn't good enough even though im playing with random people and it's a choice I made to do so.
The main thing I see here is that you are american. In the EU server solo queuing gives 60% the times a good team that communicates at least in their own language or that pings stuff around the map, 20% are people who generally listen and don't communicate and only the rest are retards. And 5 ppl on one lane is not acceptable, especially since there is no penalty for leaving while ingame and the queue quit cooldown has been raised to insane levels.

Nearly 400 games on solo queue on EU, never ragequit / left a game intentionally(have 4 leaves, all from the time when the client was bugged and put me into games despite me having closed the client).
That firstblood thing isn't that bad of an idea and prolly won't hurt you so much, totally not worth leaving imo.
EDIT: Meh I guess only like 250 are solo queue, whatever the same still applies
It's quite common at high-level play for there to be 5vs5 skirmishes around Golem, especially when there's a Shaco in play. I've also been ganked twice watching our golem for my own jungler in the past few days (I died once, and that lead to aznwiseguy QQing for the rest of the game about the FB lol). It's why it's amusing at lower-level play when you can pop Shaco's JITB with no one watching, or gank a jungler opening golem because no one's guarding the river next to it.
Is it really that difficult of a concept to gank one and then return to your lane? It's pretty routine that a Twitch pops up in one side if the other team is playing too aggressive (read: in the grass) for a quick 3v2 gank, before returning to mid, that sort of thing.
i just bought mordekaiser and played him for a few games, i have to say that this champ is really underwhelming compared to other more useful tankking champs, morde does decent damage and has strong laning phase power, but when it comes to team fight the damage you dealt is decent but underwhelming compared to real carry champs, and its defensive capabilities is meh... even with great items you still suck at everything basically.
can i get a refund for my 3k ip spent on this piece of crap?
also, i've been seeing alot of pantheon lately, and their heartseeker strike is fucking ridiculous, getting burst down from 800+ full hp in mere seconds on lvl 5 is just fucked up, i seriously hope that this is not the intended design of this champion to be able to have such powerful nuke so early in the game.
Is Ryze any better with the archangel buff? I always used to go CDR on him to take advantage of his passive, but maybe he can go ultra-pure burst now...?

I've tried Archangel and think he just doesn't have the time for it. I'd rather go RoA and such. Maybe if you get fed early and can get both tear and RoA really fast, but meh. Then you won't have almost any AP until like 25 minutes and need to rely on your ulti.

I haven't played Ryze in a while, but my recollection is that RoA is godawful bad on him. It's too slow, and doesn't do enough. You basically had to go CDR or Mejai if you wanted to do anything. Archangel is pretty much the same cost as RoA, and Ryze's Q gets bonus damage from his mana, so it makes some sense.

its by design because he has a crappy endgame if he doesnt use the nuke early every chance he gets to get himself farmed
and yes mord is crappy..had a funny game last night where i was nasus laned against mord and we both farmed for about 30 minutes..i had over 6k gold before leaving the lane..he had 2 deaths..
It's not with Pokey, or any Soraka for that matter, but I finally got around to recording Kassadin.
Quality of players was a bit bizarre, because their Kayle was horrible and apparently so was their Trist. Bottom got gimped because Kassadin is imba, and Akali is Akali, but the only important thing is the laning phase, anyways :p
Also, mogwai is "all steal fucking"
Edit: Anyways, you can see how if you get fed a lot of mana Kassadin pumps out top-tier damage; I pretty much whittled down both Shen and Yi by myself because Morg kept missing all her skillshots. I don't really last-hit much during laning, but I still end up with "ok" items, and even without any real damage items I was quite an offensive threat.

He doesn't really have that many problems with dmg, his problem is that he dies in one hit and RoA greatly helps with that.
