The only low-level balancing that should be done is making very easy/boring/toxic champs not viable. | ||

If you're blue side you can just push shove the lane into tower and go back for doubles, rinse and repeat. Purple side you won't have the luxury of doubles, so it's often safer to not pressure tower (especially against alistar for god's sake). We were purple side, so we couldn't farm golems.

Our jungler was busy to argue with Morde, who was mid. He fed a kill on accident during a gank and after that Morde harassed him verbally the entire time. The enemy was winning mid and top, so he basically had the luxury of just camping us, while our rammus was trying to help mid/top. I went exhaust because I wanted to duel Trist, but yeah going exhaust against trist/ali/mumu is borderline retarded, so definitely something to change next time. I also didn't build a QSS... hmmm... Just so that I don't look like a complete idiot. My final score was 17/7, despite my team losing in the end. I was effective later in the teamfights. I just got the feeling, that if I would have managed to shut down Trist in lane somehow, we could have turned it. | ||

Their knockups and knockbacks are largely unaffected by CC reduction (the only thing you can cleanse is the small 0.5 second stun at the end of Alistars pulverize). Cleanse would still have been useful against Exhaust, Ignite and Amumu however. | ||

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole point of draft mode. Balance an imbalanced game by letting the players make strategic bans and counterpicks. It's sort of like map picks in Starcraft. | ||

So are there any factors you consider when picking a jungler like 'first pick / last pick / etc.' or overall 'tank/initiating power of your team' in soloq? Is having a tanky bruiser top such as Darius and support Blitz/Leona in your team enough to justify picking an assassin in jungle or should I only pick them when our top laner picks Malph or Cho? Also taking into consideration that I won't go full class cannon and maybe build an early GA (at the 25 minute mark) and/or a hexdrinker unless I'm getting fed. Guess I have to start learning jungle Jax / Rengar, assuming the season 3 jungle revamp won't change anything. ._." | ||

Its not really a stupid thing, and ignoring for constructive criticism is really silly. When I have one of the first picks, I elect to play what I want and let the team accommodate that. Later picks I do the same for them and see what's needed from the jungle. I don't think it needs to be a Malph or Cho or a tank type top to play an assassin. I think a big bruiser fits that role to enable you too, or a Leona/Taric/Blitz support. If its a Teemo top, and a lulu support, you'll want to play a big jungler. Basically if your team lacks an initiator then you fill that role from the jungle. | ||

Completely agree; if you're one of the first picks you have a free range of choice, the later picks will have to pick in a manner that completes the team (unless ofcourse certain late picks were specified ahead of time). | ||

Usually because I have to get qss or at least a negatron kinda early because mid fed and GA is just too good to not get. In soloQ where everyone dives the carries and nobody protect it feels so strong. seems like it'd gimp your power in comparison to the other AD who isnt building defense outside of ga | ||

It does help vs ignite damage, and force the alistar to commit more in an amumu gank, if amumu hits bandage toss you cleanse that and you get reduced cc from ulti, this helps a ton as Alistar is to squishy to stay close to vayne when its just a 2v2 tug of war. | ||
