Linking something like a lolking page that shows you having like 15-2-10 KDA records 5 times in a row is a good way to get the lane you want. i wish it was that easy.. everyone wants to play mid  My standard line is as follows: "I would appreciate (lane goes here). However, if I don't get it I will not complain, cry, or feed." I would say it has a high success rate. Same I always request the role I would prefer but I always say "but I can play any role so np" Of course it doesn't work as well as people demanding shit as people usually cave in and then be bitter the whole game (sometimes is somebody is being a real asshole with it I will pick that role intentionally)
My go to line is "I happen to suck balls at X, so if you wanna win you should probably let me do Y."
Nine times out of of ten you get Y in my experience.

Obviously you're going to be good either way, it's a matter of which is better and when. It's a question with no real answer without being game specific. I've wondered about this for a bit. I don't know anything about udyr really but what do you think about replacing the double gp5 with something like triple dorans and going really aggressive counterjungling/ganking?

They also tend to be better than average at the game because their loss rate is inflated by their rage / tilt I'd only really recommend going dorans or somethign if you're going tiger, since Phoenix will give you the dorans for free while you cans pend gold on something to make you more tanky.

1st pick- "imma go mid"
2nd or 3rd- "i'd like mid plz"
4th or 5th- "I'd like mid if at all possible. If not, pref not jangle."
I concede mid to someone who is higher pick than me, but always take if I can.

Yes this is my experience as well, but that's because everyone wants to play mid or top. AD's a good one to play because it's easier to get in general. I request AD politely right when queue pops. If someone takes it I'll request jungle. Solo queue picking with randoms is a big political/psychological game. If you give in and always play filler you're not going to do as well in the long run so you should always try to get your best roles/champions first. If people don't cooperate and you end up having to play support, you're better off not saying anything at all and doing it. The problem I have is that when I rarely play support and I get pushed into it, I will choose non-standard supports and do a good job with them but people will bitch nonstop about it so it's a lose-lose situation.

No man Dblades on tiger udyr with ad quints/reds are #1, ganks are hilarious and buff clears are insanely fast. Ganks are really hilarious tho, only reason to do it.

Lilballz actually typically goes 2DBlade->Visage on jungle tigerdyr. On lane, the Wriggle's stats seem infinitely better than DBlades, but with a jungle income, the buildup to Wriggle's can feel kind of shitty. 2DBlade definitely feels smoother to have in low-level scuffles than a Madred's Razors.

Dont think this is QQ thread worthy but I did the biggest fail ever by being too good.
Me 50 hp he 50 hp. I have enough mana for Corki Q, but I leveled up so I lvel it up. No longer enough mana -> die.

Spellvamp quints are pretty fun on manaless champs

I wasn't talking about tigerdyr, but counterjungling wouldn't involve tigerdyr since he cleans camps slowly and ganks well.

I dunno why you'd have AD reds and ArP quints when ArP reds/AD quints are more slot-efficient for the same stats. The only time to use AD reds is if you're already using AD quints, or are using MS quints (which you can't get on reds).

Flat Mres glyphs? AD quints? mixed pen marks? Anything with CDR?
Mres glyphs is afaik quite common to use in counterpicking. AD quints are usefull if you need better lasthitting early. CDR runes can be usefull on some champions that don't itemize for it. Mixed pen are kinda strange, but the extra pen is usefull on some bruisers.

I can see mixed pen being good on like Nid or ken or swain top. They tend to spend a lot of time autoing their opponents but also have a good amount of magic damage. I think hotshot actually uses hybrid pen on his nidalee.
While on the topic of kennen, what do you think of getting berserker's on him while going AP? I like the idea of just rushing those boots instead of the semistandard double dblade and then doing standard kennen AP things. They will be more useful for you than the dblades in the long run and you will be able to stun your opponents more often.
