kassadin is useless if he doesnt have a team to back him obviously. ive seen lots of games with kass going 20-1 with mejais and still losing

No I was carrying pretty hard, we won every fight but one last one because of me. I'm left wondering if I misplayed the final fight, we were too unprepared/badly positioned for it and I didn't position myself offensively enough. Sigh. Dyrus was like "your team was even more retarded, how can you lose with Kassadin carrying" hahah.

Fuck.

What do you do against teams like Morg/Annie/Malahazar/Olaf/Ashe ?

Soo much CC and they insta kill everything. Just had a game their annie was griefing me in the jungle the whole time. Couldnt do shit.

Ward up around you; it wastes their time to go after you if they don't actually stop you.
That team setup doesn't actually have much CC. Take Amumu instead of Olaf and we're talking. You probably got severely outpicked or simply played bad (as a team).

They had the entire jungle warded. I prob shoulda laned but those were getting dominated too. Their annie was hunting me the whole game. Oh and it certainly felt like alot of cc. Much more than what we had.

Some guy in our team was just playing them, reackons it was a 3+ premade so GG lol.

So endeth my 4 win streak, which came after a 4 loss streak. Looks like i got 3 more games before i'll win again :p

If they ward more than once it's worthwhile to invest in Oracle to clear out wards, this throws them a loop. Yes, you lose out on money, but you must do it in order to continue jungling. Incidentally as long as you stay alive this also messes up warding dragon, and if you stay alive long enough, baron as well.

You also need your teammates to be on the ball and come reinforce fights quick - due to the nature of the jungle, if they come in, you should get an easy 1v2 unless they come en masse (in which case you retreating = net win because more than one hero on their team wasted time). This again goes back to warding and maintaining map hax so you know when they're coming and how many there are.

Yea, im really cheap and dont normally buy that stuff. I should but I feel utterly useless without my items in a fight.

Just had a win, dominated the map. Felt gooood.

I'll start buying wards instead of silly health pots i always forget to use anyway.

This ARAM thing sounds very very intense and fun.

it is, but you have to know balance team didnt make heroes with ARAM in mind, so a lot of builds change, for example, AP yi and AP ez are far superior to their ad counterparts, alistar is a win button because he heals so much and pushes towers like crazy. heal/clarity stacking is usually required (unless you get like 4 manaless champs). Those are just some of the quirks of ARAM
