Didn't Galio at that point just suffer from Soraka Syndrome? Even as a support player, Soraka's the fuckin' worst.

Mundo>Shyvana; Both of them have more or less equally fast clear speeds and are both really good at counterjungling. What makes Mundo>Shyvana is the fact that Mundo isn't red buff reliant when it comes to ganks and he actually has a good ranged poke. In SV's words, Mundo does everything Shyvana does and more. Rammus is definitely top tier jungler cause powerball ganks are ridiculous. Not so sure about Nocturne. He's good, but the other junglers are just better.

Soraka Syndrome is Galio Syndrome, isn't it? Powerful champion that's boring to play.

Soraka is nothing like Galio. Galio at least feels like you are helping if your team is bad. Soraka is quite useless if the carries are retards (1 heal every 20 seconds and a silence every ten can't save a lvl 4 towerdiving Ashe with half health attacking Urgot, for instance).

Oh, so Soraka Syndrome is a powerful champion that is only powerful with a good team? I think that nominative honor should go to Trundle or support Nunu. At least with Soraka you can keep your diver alive for a round or two of attacks. Nunu is just "If you ever want to disengage, I can slow him so he can't chase. Or you could tower dive, that's cool.".

Not to be confused with Anivia Arthritis, where the champion is powerful but difficult to play, Morde Malady (also known as Lux's Lobotomy), where the champion is powerful but has the stigma of having bad players, and Ryze Rheumatitis, where the champion is powerful but received an inconsequential nerf which made everyone stop playing it for some reason.

No, it was just an inference that Soraka came before Galio as far as 'powerful to play, boring as shit' goes.

It's somewhat of a valid analogy, but AFAIK the community perception of soraka, for the longest time, was that she was boring AND a garbage champ. The difference with galio is that most ppl acknowledged galio was a strong champ, but still no1 played him, with i think one exception of a 2-3 week period where he was perma-banned/picked. Then he faded into obscurity despite few changes. Soraka, on the other hand, was viewed as a UP pick up until the AD + support phenomenon. Before that, i think she was popular during the heal-comp era, but her amount of play and her 'boringness' never really came up.

The only other champs that i've really seen like this (that i can think of off the top of my head) are xerath and poppy, both of whom are certainly acknowledged as strong (tho OP status and the level of strength is certainly debatable), yet still aren't played. So i guess poppy came be4 galio, but TL made a fuss about galio before they did about poppy.

note: this is purely opinion and based on recollection, and so should not be treated as fact. Also this is just my definition of the term, and may not be the same for everyone or even necessarily correct.

I haven't seen much Rammus play lately. Is he still considered a top pick? Seems like other tanky guys (Shen) and bruisers (Udyr, Shyvana, Irelia) are getting a lot more play. Lee Sin is also getting picked up a lot.

Noc is really strong jungler, people underestimate him a lot. His clears are very fast, good sustain, and a decent duelist thx to his shield. But what makes Noc incredible is his level 6 gank that can completely ignore wards.

On an insane losing streak now...

Looks like I'm blaming more and more my allies, which is not a good habit (even though I feel like I am not the one to blame for the defeats)

Any tips on how to not rage? I'm still enjoying this game alot, but I really can't stand people who either :
Throw game away
Do not communicate
Play poorly

I usually pick last, always greet everyone in champion select. Ask everyone what they want to play, and try to help my teammates make compromise (say two persons want the same spot). I'm usually stuck playing jungle or support. Needless to say that these two roles are not my favorite, but I'm willing to do my part to help my team.
I usually time everything (buff, dragon, baron). I usually try to make calls for the team...

I should reack 6.3k IP soon and I'd like some feedback on what champion to buy. I'd like someone who can jungle so it limits the list to Fiora, Volibear, Sejuani, Nautilus and Maokai. Here are my thoughts on them so far:

Fiora: I didn't tried her during free weak. I feel she belongs more to the top lane. If she really is Yi 2.0 then I'm not so interested.

Volibear: I din't tried him during free weeks. Also feel he belongs to top lane more than the jungle. I could be tempted if he is really a viable pick. I have seen so few Volibears in my games since release that I can't judge how good he is.

Sejuani: I played her 3 or 4 times this week and won all games. Besides getting my wraiths and red stolent at level 1 in one of my games, I didn't get counterjungled so I was lucky since everyone is complaining about how easy it is to counterjungle her. First clear is faster than I expected and it gets faster which is good. I jungle Malphite from time to time and unless the other team relies on AS a lot, I see no reason to pick Malphite over her.

Nautilus: I didn't try him during free week. Many people like him and have been telling he is similar to Sejuani but better.

Maokai: I've never tried him as a jungler. He was a popular pick at my level around Christmas so I can tell his ganks are really annoying. I heard his jungle clear gets slower and slower, is it really that bad?
