Im thinking of doing my first ranked game too actually. Is there any specific time where you get good players? LOL. Well, afaik there isn't really a time when all the good players play, but playing while all the highschool/college kids are in school will get you a slightly more mature team i suppose.
very false
if you play during the mornings/early afternoon you get asian children who are even worse. Those are the absolute worst times to play

The patch was skin changes I believe, Xerath skin change, Infiltrator Irelia skin change and yeah, I think thats it.

Im always drinking in the evening so if you're on my team after 730is est im going to be drunk and not playing as well as I should be.

Surely bad players are just as likely to end up on the enemy team so it really doesn't matter.
Although people have very selective memories.

exactly - i play early morning because that's when the enemy team is most likely to be incompetent.

Little bit of interesting info I noticed over the weekend, then just went back and checked. I had noticed that Ezreal was picked quite a bit, and looked mostly useless the entire time- his damage just didnt seem to matter all that much as I was watching. So I went back and looked.
Ez- 7 games played, 2-5.
Vayne- 9 games, 5-4
Cait, Banned 8 times, 5-0 when played.
So ya- if you wanna win IEM this weekend, dont pick ez.
Also interesting- Kog was banned 10 times, made it through 4 times. 0-4.
But did Kog'Maw lose because he's a bad hero or because he didn't have a good team to keep him alive? I think it's the latter personally.

So I went into a game last night where four of the five enemies had the same first 3 letters, so obviously a clan. We all bemoaned our fate, as they'd probably have better coordination and might all be smurfs or something. I got mid against an Akali as Ezreal. I basically won lane until 6 once she got Ult, but our Jarvan was a total boss and we ganked her twice. Our team proceeded to get all outer towers, every Dragon kill, and control their jungle. After an amazing ~50 minute game we won convincingly and watched them bitch at each other in post-match chat.
Moral of the story? Don't get discouraged because it's a premade, they might still suck.

Okay I've been having insane problems as irelia vs nasus. Cant stop him from farming. Lifesteal too strong. Cant waste too much mana on trying to kill him when he lifesteals that back in one minute. What do I do? Just farm alongside him. You're gonna have trouble trying to push him out of lane.
max w and get a fast recurve

Definitely. The fact that Kog as 0 escapes makes him extremely vulnerable, you can farm like a boss (see Chaox) and have the scariest dps, you're not gonna do anything if bursted by an assassin.
I think it's why we tend to see Vayne a lot more, she has as scary damage as Kog but is wayyy more mobile (and her E can be some kind of escape too).
Ez is more on some utility side I think, with his atk speed steroid, his poke, his ultimate...

In the games that I saw, they all rushed trinity forces on Ezreal; is it a wonder why they did bad? Zzz

The real question is is it POSSIBLE to protect kog in a competitive setting. Over one weekend, the answer is no.

to be quite honest triforces are pretty cool.

Sure it is, look @ IEM cologne, just because the teams with kog played bad doesn't mean kog can't be protected.

You just shouldn't pick Kog when a guy who knows how to play first picked Akali (hi chauster).
|
Yeah Akali was murderizing them guys.
+ Show Spoiler +I think Chauster got the a triple kill at one point which secured an uncontested baron
|
IDK why any team would pick kog vs akali AND noct twice in a row
|
Just went and looked at IEM china- Kog 5-3, Vayne 6-3.
Although I dont like using IEM because of the huge skill discrepancy between teams, So I dont think the data is that good.
