She's still fine. They hit what they needed to hit (her safety). People won't be able to derp as much, but I think the people who know how to play smart will pull away from the bads because of it.

But yes, if that happened to me I would be quick to that out. Then I make them say they are sorry in all chat.

I don't think I've ever had an issue going boots 3pot, even with a bad leash... Unless you're playing a champ that's not meant to jungle, and even then.... I start boots 3 pot on my jungle veigar. JUST SAYING.

For those of you that have played Diana top, are you going tanky or damage? The game I went damage I rolled but I was playing vs two horrible players at top.

simple, i have all the runes and all the champions losing a game doesnt really bother me personally. For others they may not approve of my method, but to each their own

I get tabi a lot more often than I get mercs on junglers. Even if there's significant magic damage in the enemy comp, unless there's scary CC that tenacity can affect (not supresses knockups or displacement, and most slows aren't scary enough to count in my evaluation of this) I'm not going to buy merc treads. Thus, the runed MR is all I have until I start building Aegis or Wits.

actually any time the jungle camp resets, it's 100% the jungler's fault. That's because there is a foolproof way to prevent resets from happening, and if the jungler isn't using this to his advantage then it's his fault when the buff resets.
All you have to do is stand between the buff and it's original spawn location. If you're in the bush at blue, and you're in front of the golem while auto attacking it, it's possible it could reset. However if you're standing behind the golem (between the golem and it's spawn point) it will never reset.

What are your guys opinions on GP10 seals/quints?
I'm considering investing in them for support, but I don't really know much about them. Only time I've actually seen them used is when General OddOne played Nunu with gp5 items+runes. Also, what quints would be better for Janna - MS (which I already have) or GP10, and what glyphs are best? I run some mana/scaling MR right now.

I mean there are plenty of champions that have come into the meta that still allow it to happen - Nunu was buffed and is viable for jungle, top lane, and support; Sona was buffed (ult is really good for peeling), Janna is just as good outside of lane, just slightly worse in lane; Morgana is still played mid, Heavy CC/peeling jungler is now the norm; Kayle is now played at high level etc.
Viable, of course. You could do a Singed, Nunu, Ali, Janna, Kog comp and get a similar "feel" but the results aren't the same. Lulu and Soraka could do their stuff on a sustained basis, and even more importantly, Kog was actually turned into a tank.

GP10 seals/quints are always good on supports, esp. if you aren't the one to be aggressive in lane and just want to farm with your AD carry
MS quints on Janna is kinda counterproductive since you already have massive movespeed from your W anyways
MR glyphs are fine, mana glyphs not so much unless you're playing a support like sona who spams a lot, but even so you shouldn't be OOM unless you can't manage your mana.

Yeah I rarely build mercs early on, they are very expensive for a jungler and tenacity is not exceedingly useful until teamfights start. Usually for me it is keeping level 1's for a long time, early Ninja Tabi or the occasional Move-Really-Fast Boots

I love GP10 quints any time where I don't wanna play a super aggresive support (except Leona where all I do is sword leap all day regardless of MS). My blues are generally MR, but I bet even more GP10 would be awesome. More money = more wards = better support and game overall.

When you say "some big luls happen" you mean your team spends the rest of the time raging at one another and playing really badly?
I don't care about losing a game, but games where people intentionally act like jerks to one another do bother me. If it doesn't bother you, there's no reason to ever help the lane in the first place, regardless of what they do.
Edit: Just to make it clear, I'm not telling you how to act. But telling people playing with low-elo or newbie teams to basically say "leash or I afk" (except not helping top no matter what won't get you banned) is not advice I would encourage, at least if your goal is to make your games less hostile and/or you care about winning.

If the mid pulls it to the point where it would reset and the jungler is still within the leash range and attacking it, it won't reset. Maybe there's another cause that i've never encountered in all the games i've played, but i've been using the method i've described above for as long as I can remember and i've never had a reset happen.

Is there such a thing as a bad leash? they just need to autoattack once and walk away...
the person doing msot of the damage upon leash should be your top lane or botlane, respectively. or that's i usually have it done.....

Tired out Saint's early build...shit was brutally bad. HoG>Philo>Kage is way too long to go before getting any damage. My laners didn't really help much either way.
