So it all goes back to the same conclusion - when it comes to skillshots in a matchup it's all about player skill.

Ah JackDino, the logical reasoning you fail to apply never ceases to amaze me. I almost want to dissect your post and point you to your flawed attempts at reasoning, but in the words of dear OutLaw, a reasonable guy who got trashed back into lurkerdom:
Why do I even try?
Maybe you could fight the urge to utter an opinion on just about every topic without actually considering the arguments at hand. Try to understand the argument, instead of just trying to win the argument for the sake of being right.

I'm really considering reporting you because if there's one thing that I hate, it's people who use ad hominem then saying some stupid shit like "why do I even try" or other cop-out. I'm glad Outlaw is gone. He barely ever posted and half of his posts were trash that fell back on "why do I try" whenever people try to debate with him.
If it's too hard for you to put your thoughts into words or to accept that you may be wrong then stay the fuck away. If someone's logic is bad, then explain why it's bad. Don't just make a pointless post and cop out while insulting people. If you really think it's an argument you can't win because of w/e reason then just don't fuckin post.

I just played a 5man where we decided to counterpick kassadin after 4. pick so we all switched roles (i was supposed to jarv top but went to jungle since our: ahri went top and vayne went bot and 1 of us wanted to grab cait for mid) Iit was all k, graves/sona lane lost tower after my first gank, kass was behind 30-80 in cs but then it turned out that their kennen was farmed as hell and he rolled us midgame :/ What did we just learn the hard way: When counterpicking don't tunnel vision - always think about all the picks, not just 1.

To end this argument and move on, here are all of my posts in the ahri patch thread + Show Spoiler +i like him, has damage heal stun buff debuff
You obviously dont watch enough streams.. Regi realizes his mistakes. Most people just watch a streamer once or twice for maybe 15 minutes and stereotype him, I guess some people get bad streaks or dont find what they are looking for and never watch again, then say things like this on forums.
I started out by loving Chaox and Xpecial and hating Reginald and TOO, now I can say it's completely the opposite for me. Chaox and Xpecial seemed nice and chillax at first, but after a while you realized that deeper down they are not nice and their manner is just them keeping a cool head. Reginald and TOO,on the other hand, dont keep their calm, which is why they rage. But deep down I feel that they are nicer than Chaox and Xpecial. This may seem a bit vague but I just prefer r and too now, and when I want to watch a truly nice, cool headed guy I watch bob. and TOO, now I can say it's completely the opposite for me.

you are taking words out of my mouth. I never said those things must be tied together, I just said that in this case they are. Please refrain from using bad arguments if you wish to lead an intelligent discussion with me.
why do i even try
dont let people tell you a hero is bad, if the champ is fun for you to play then stick with it and improve your game instead, just like ud improve your macro before doing advanced strategies in sc2 anyway, i actually think taric is really strong
Would people be interested in watch me try to climb out of my elo hell on eune? (1600 and rising)
That's one of her strengths. She has low range, but when she gets in and is not CCd, she is hard to stop. Just pick cait and dominate her with range, and when she jumps you, run (or E).
Graves vs Vayne might be a bit graves favored, I still believe it comes down more to your skill and the skill of your support. I've won countless vayne vs graves lanes but i also remember losing some Though whenever i see they have graves I just pick caitlyn and win anyway
Now, I've been considering buying viktor... Is he viable enough to be played? It feels to me(mostly from videos) that he's more of a control character who just doesn't deal enough burst tt

well outlaw, "dont let people tell you a hero is bad"

This has to be the worst page in the whole LoL subforum. Sometimes I'm ashamed of playing this game when I see some of the players.

Yeah, Viktor doesn't really burst, unless you go for it and then his job isn't to initiate so you've got to have someone on your team who can do it. Plus he can't kite infinity people so if your team screw up, you can't carry as much with him than with AP like, say, Anivia, Ryze, Gragas or Swain.
