There's never any circumstance where you really need to type in solo queue. It turns out that no matter how much your team hates you if you ping the maximum amount of times to do something, they'll do it. Never need to say a word ;P.
I've seen plenty of cases of "stop ping or I afk". Including cases of continued pinging and going afk. Noteworthy: idling at fountain while spamming pings for 10+ minutes.

It's a definitive buff. You don't get endless knockups, but realistically speaking Xin only got those if he was fed enough to both have capped CDR and a crapton of attack speed. New Xin gets an endless Q->E chain that is inescapable without significant peel, and it only requires capped CDR (which is very easy to get when building tanky).
I haven't figured out how I want to build him yet, beyond making CDR a priority.

It is a net buff to both overall, however their play styles have changed rather significantly as a result. In the new Champion Spotlight for Twitch Phreak put him in bot AD. While he can function there, experience from testing suggests that you'd rather have someone else. Bot lane matchups swing very wildly for him. However, when played right he's really good because most players will not know how to trade against a correctly played Twitch bot lane. He's versatile enough to also be placed top and jungle, although top lane is very match-up dependant for him so caveat emptor.

What do you think of xin top this patch? Did you get a chance to test it?

People have no experience against Twitch top either, they pick melee champs and try to engage him, back off - which essentially lets Twitch get a free kill on them.

Well, today I saw this thread on Reddit, and found the link to here. I wasn't aware someone had already started the concepts for such a set. The LEGO Cuusoo page already has an official LEGO response, and if the page gets 10,000 supporters, the idea gets sent to us here at LEGO (I'm going to assume the Sales and Brand department? but I'm not sure) and it gets reviewed. It would be awesome if everyone here could support such an idea (if you actually like it) and spread the word. Edit: Also, upvote the reddit thread and my post within it. I want exposure for this idea! Would be cool if this went through while I'm still working here.

I like to talk shit in solo queue because it's pleasurable. It reduces the chances of winning, but I'm making a rational trade off here.
|
i only chat in solo queue to either apologize for a bad play or to make dumb jokes.
if i make a bad play, i feel like acknowledging it will at least make me self-aware that it's my fault instead of looking to blame someone so i feel like it sets the foundation for improvement. but it has to be definitively be my bad play(s).
for me the only difference between ranked and normal is whether i wanna try out new stuff that might get us slaughtered. i'm always looking to get better but i try not to experiment in ranked because i might get blown out without having the chance to learn much. ELO is whatever, and bad teammates are rage inducing but in the end it doesn't really matter anyway.

Veigar - moves through periods of getting played and not, despite no balance changes
To be fair, Veigar's popularity/viability depends a lot on what the current host of popular mid picks are. As an older champion, his laning is much more open to abuse by some mid champs, and if safer lane matchups are more common, he sees more pick, and also the other way around...

If I'm not jungling, then the thing I do most often is talk to jungler and mention whether or not I'll need ganks at certain specific times. I find that trying to optimize his play will net the biggest benefit for the team. If I'm endlessly pushing but properly warded to avoid ganks, I just make sure to point out to my jungler that he needs not worry about my lane. This usually means they pay more attention to the others and usually make better plays.
Also, as others have said, being condescending is a 1 way ticket to Failtown. People get defensive extremely easy and and will throw games on accident or purpose if they start raging.

Assuming you play blind pick normals as your practice (sorry, I don't know you), odds are they'll be better opponents than a big chunk of your ranked games for a while.

By the way, it's not weird at all that you can do well at 1700 elo but fail to carry yourself up there.
If your mechanical skills are good, you can play at 1700 elo by following the calls etc of a good leader. You don't need to have good game sense if someone else takes the part of the leader. But you need at least one good leader even at lower elos, so if you aren't the one, you rely on your team for that.
If you're mechanically superior to your enemies, work on your leadership skills and calls.
Some of the best advice I have ever seen given on TL LoL. Listen to this man!

Dead certain. I think I played my first ranked game somewhere around 300-400 normal wins. Looking back I probably could have started sooner than that.

Honestly, if you're just starting out in ranked you don't need a bunch of hyper-specific rune pages to do well. Just try to get one or two for each role, maybe you can combine a top+jungler page, and you'll be good to go.

I started ranked shortly after I reached level 30. You may not end up in the highest elo bracket but you'll find a niche and start climbing higher if you try.
I find ranked games more fun personally, same asshats but more effort overall.
