Even if you do bad you can farm alot of the game and be unkillable later. | ||

Do you let them have said role, even if its your preferred role and your picking higher? Or is there no such thing as "calling a roll" This has probably been asked in the past, so I'm sorry if it's been beaten to death, i just thought this was a place to get quick answers. Honesty it just depends on my mood. Typically I'm nice and usuallly since they call the roles I assume that's what they are good at (not necessarily true) and I have good mechanics so I can fill any role pretty well. Sometimes I just want to counterpick and rape face instead of leaving it to the peope that call mid because they realy want to pay karthus regardless of pick etc. | ||

That shouldn't be the intent, because while it might open diversity in the pick phase, it reduces diversity as well if everyone is always banning the exact same set of OP/annoying champs because they CAN ban all of them. The goal should be to hit some subset of the OP/annoying champs (something like 1/3 to 1/2), forcing teams to leave some in the pool. This means we create diversity in that teams will have different styles of choosing WHICH OP champs to leave in the pool, and how they want to go about picking/dealing with them--while also leaving enough picking slots to allow for middle-tier champions to make it into competitive play. People who want enough bans to ban ALL the annoying/OP champs are simply missing the design intent of having bans. I think they could probably go to 5 bans in 2 phases for competitive play, and stick with having only first phase bans for solo queue, since the 2nd ban phase isn't really that useful for solo queue drafts. Personally I don't see the need for bans at all in solo pub play, but at this point, people are so accustomed to them that there would be an outrageous amount of QQ if you couldn't ban your 3 least favorite champions. | ||

People who want enough bans to ban ALL the annoying/OP champs are simply missing the design intent of having bans. I'd argue the flaw in wanting to ban all the annoying/OP isn't simply one of design intent, but a matter of impossibility. If you have enough bans to lock out all the "annoying/OP" champions all that happens is the definition of "annoying/OP" expands to include the best champions you can get after the best champions are banned. Then you no longer have enough bans and people start complaining again. | ||

I usually let them have their shit, as long as I don't need to play something I don't want to. Sometimes I don't feel like passing a certain role though;p. Them being last pick has nothing to do with them being the worst player on the team because they're lower elo. | ||

If anyone tries to jump at her she'd just bring her ball back and shield herself. Too bad she sucks at escaping from such a far distance, so ganking her top would be much easier than ganking her mid. | ||

Just played my first Udyr top game. Granted, I was facing a Jarvan, who's kinda weak now from what I've read Smash say, but damn is the dude tanky. Oo Poor Jarvan boots+3 couldn't compete with cloth+5 in terms of sustain and any tiger proc in his face was a painful experience. Then his jungler Alistar didn't camp me, and when he came Jarvan was at 1/3rd of his HP, he commited by ulting me so I killed him and flashed out. Ali caught up to me with his combo but maxing turtle + potions makes you so damn tanky. Second time he came I just killed Jarvan again, waited for the end of his ult then walked away, without any need to run praying for pots and mana this time. I felt easily game throughout tho, but that burst whenever Jarvan tried to last hit "manually" under his tower... I think I got 3-4 successive wriggles procs while we were doing a dragon right after I activated tiger stance too, the tiger proc combined with the AS buff meant the drake dropped almost half his health in less than 3s (combined with smite too prob). You tank towers so well with turtle stance when you need to push too, that's so absurd. | ||
