Lol, I forgot how fun Chogath is.
If you take him top you can literally ignore the enemy top laner and free farm 100 % safe. Thing is, you just Q->W->AAing minions sick harass too. He also pretty good in the jungle if you grab movespeed quints. Does sick gankings, farms fast, and has two smites.
Only thing that sucks is when you have six stacks and suddenly can't dodge skillshots without flashing.

Is there some general stigma about Phantomlord? I only started playing League in January, but from watching him and destiny duo-que and then watching his stream every now and then. He seems to be a nice guy with an informative stream. Yet, there seem to be some people that think he's like a douchebag or something?

he's a major douchebag lol he's also not super good (relative to real high-skill players, obviously better than i am at ap carry) but he definitely thinks he is

A lane I don't see very often but I hear it complained about when it is ran is Urgot/Alistar. Does it have a glaring weakness or some hard counter in lane that makes it not as good as it seems anytime I've ran it or seen it ran?

I think riot is actually pretty good about detecting crashes. I've had the whole damn thing crash once or twice and had a bluescreen or two on my old computer and 0 penalty for any of them (unless it was applied significantly later)

Edit: afaik if you DC for whatever reason and the game ends soon after, you don't get a leave in your match history.

watching vman7's stream, he's duoing with some girl and playing ahri
while they're both about to back at a tower he shoots charm at her and there's just this awkward moment where neither of them say anything
awwww

Thats true for most skillshots I suppose...
Blitz hook is the most frustrating thing in the world though when you play Cho. Don't really matter how tanky you are if you get pulled into all five opponents, you gonna die before you can do much of anything. On every other champ you can dodge or juke it to some degree, but even a blind Blitz can hook a Chogath at six stacks.
Maybe I should have just built a banshees, haha.

that's weird, you seem to think that only 1 person can be a douchebag, and if someone is a douchebag to you, it makes it impossible for you to be a douchebag as well. you also seem to have misinterpreted my post to say anything about his ex-team!
anyway i just played a game with a guy named "McRooster" the guy who does those kinda annoying "this is why we hate ____" videos about lol on youtube. dude was such a chad. he literally typed out "ok going captain mode" in chat and bossed us all around all game. felt like i was being initiated into a frat. he missed easy easy line skilllshots, mistimed buffs by whole minutes, stopped teamfighting in the middle of a teamfight so he could focus the already-regening-dragon, and then had the gaffe after the game to say "ty ahri" to himself
my face the entire time was like :| 1700s alright
oh ya to top it off i asked him what he did on youtube (because prior to this game i did not know) and he said "i make 30s videos that get millions of views" man what a douche. is that what it takes to get youtube viewers? be a really mediocre (i mean i'll be honest, he didn't feed or rage at the least, those are points in my book) at best player and post a metric fuckton of pointless videos? i guess my webseries is going to be a success then!

yo, i don't think you're understanding some basic teamfight principles here every CC and nuke that the enemy team uses on you, is a CC/nuke that the enemy team is not using on your allies blitz hook + pop-up + silence most likely, that right there is a good 3-5 seconds of chain-cc that would cripple a carry. it's not enough to kill you though, so if you're dying it's because they're using more CC and skills on you. that's a good thing. especially on a champ that gets so much free defense. you should be intentionally walking into every single hook as cho'gath. if blitz is anywhere near the enemy carry, you get a free reposition to use feast on him too, double points!

Yup, I understand that, and it is all fine and dandy...
Thing is people in soloQ are ridiculous and will just run and say something like "Wow, Cho getting caught like an idiot... Sick throws."
Forever 1500 qq. If only I spent more time getting better and less time on TL...

I guess I will try that the next time I play Cho because at low elo, it seems you get hooked, bursted down and then it is 4v5 with your team complaining.
