Is it just me, or do most jungle alistar players now suck. Or maybe people are able to deal with lvl 2 and constant ganks better. Ali has joined the ranks of Kass and Morg as one of the "he's always banned, so i need to pick him and feed" champions.
Dont forget shaco
I hate the players that think that if we have OP champions like morg or ali on our teams, we automatically win, and if the opponents picked OP champions, then we auto lose. Typically, if we have "OP champions" we end up losing because everyone thinks, "we have OP champions, we will still win even if i feed!!!."
From my elos, morg, malph, shen, ali and blitz are permabanned.

fuck Morg and Kass, the most annoying AP mids at the moment are Eve and Teemo. Even if you kill teemo, walk back through a shroom still die, gg eve just insane burst and mobility

Maybe I should start practicing Kassadin HARD. Can he carry me out of low ELO?  My mid (generally morgana, anivia) is generally decent. I usually will have more CS, more kills than my opponents! However, my main champions are kind of immobile (I started practicing Ahri + Gragas but still not fully comfortable) so I don't have a big presence on the other lanes.
I noticed though : when I win, I tend to destroy my mid (so I guess I have the potential to snowball). But when I lose, I only manage to get a neutral score (or slightly positive). So... either my mid opponent are really bad at time, or maybe I'm able to seize my chances and snowball from there.

What's the deal with banning Kass? I can understand morgana, just because she's really annoying to play against in general and her ult is sick. But kass doesn't seem good at all, I get that he has a silence but that's about it. He's annoying when fed, and that's one of things you don't want in solo queue. Fed Kass means all lanes lose.
Nah I think it's just that he roams really well and can jump out of nowhere in later fights to kill squishies. Anyone's annoying when fed.

Speaking of bans... I read not long ago that Riot would start to ban out people who trollpicked in champion select to force others to dodge. I sometimes use this tactic, like when I get in my team "Xx5k4t3rG0H4NxX", "WORST TOP BR", surge/tp graves and ghost/heal yi, I just pick promote/cv soraka and wait until last second to dodge myself or switch my summoners to legit ones and carry on with the game. Does anyone know if they actually started banning people for that? If so, how do they get the reports? It is hard to believe that players will take the effort to screenshoot it and send it to Riot with a ticket...
Just out of curiosity, I wouldn't mind stopping to do that. From what I understood, they took the players with an already large moderation history, and looked for which ones had a disproportionately large number of games where someone else dodged. If you do it a lot, you might be in trouble, but if it's an every-once-in-awhile thing, you're probably fine. Basically it's just collecting statistics instead of looked at e-mailed reports or whatever. Also, I fail to see the logic that disallows the common poster from criticizing pro players, but also allows for analyses such as the Battle Reports MoonBear (who isn't even level 30? might be wrong, but he's definitely not high Elo) has put out -- which, by the way, players like Scarra have read and took advice from.
MoonBear also consults with riot and tests champions/major changes before they're ever released to the public. He's also a member of the TL LoL staff, so there's that...

Well doesn't Leblanc do everything Kass does better? Why not ban her? No, she doesn't.
Basically, LB has a very decent early game and then ends up scaling really badly. Kass has more mobility during the mid game and the ability to snowball into late game and just make everyone cry. Plus, lb has to wait for her ult before doing anything that hurts a lot. Kass can just keep spamming bursting or ganking as soon as his E is up and in team fights he has more aoe and can jump in and out more often. (just clarifying on why kass is better imo)

Yeah I was going to use that at one point but I figured the argument has been beaten to death already from both sides.

So, i might have missed a few pages, but noone is suggesting that the in-depth, well thought out, carefully researched analyses that Chihruhruhrurhruhruh and moonbear write are at all similar to typical forum posts criticising pro players, right?

Eve was a joke pick for a long time. The LoL communitie has a turning circle that would make an aircraft carrier look quick. Give it a few months or a major tournament win before she is seen regularly.

Rengar is seriously outrageous right now. Idk if this is just low elo but there was nothing I can do to stop rengar from just killing my lanes 100% of the time. The only Rengars that haven't succeeded are those that are probably on their way to lower elo. It is absolutely enraging. That and this new champion, Kazakhstan or whatever, looks like he will be the exact same thing. Maybe these sorts of characters are bad at high elo but my god are they good at low elo
