When people say such a thing, the first thing I think of are teenage nihilists who misinterpret Nietzsche. is this ranked? If you're level 30 and play normals you really shouldn't expect much Also if 2 people don't want to surrender, your team didn't surrender, your opinion isn't somehow more important than the others' on your team Agreed, in ranked you play serious mode. In normals you can have some fun as long as you are at least trying to win besides it. I always find it really annoying when people get mad in normals because i didn't fill up some stupid last role. If i want to play veigar i'm playing veigar. If that means i have to play jungle veigar fine but if you want a T1 jungler then pick one yourself, in normals ofcourse.
I don't quite agree with this, I don't play ranked because I don't want to deal with the stress (I know it's just a number but I know if I tried to get an elo I would be bothered if I thought it was too low). I guess people don't have to conform to the meta, but it's just annoying when I expect a standard game and end up with jungle Irelia or support Panth (because you know, he has a stun). If you want to dick around in blind pick that's fine, but I think normal draft should at least be taken semi-seriously.

4 brain dead team mates, i ended up getting +3 teamwork after the game, cus of heals and stuff
Also Locket seems like the new go-to item for supports. CDR, armor, health and that shield. It's really support's wet dream.

It's some Curse people (none from the team roaster) and some... semi-random people.

From a company. Now guess which...
I expect a lot of snipes with those teamcomps. Hell, I want a ton of snipes. Also made me think, if ignite is the laning spell and exhaust the teamfighting one, wouldn't Karthus, who runs exhaust to kill, actually like Barrier in teamfights?
And yeah, Locket best item. Leona's got a shield on her model and in her kit, now she's got one in her inventory too, ready to towerdive!

Sometimes curse looks really good and other times they just look like trash.

Agreed. I believe the infamous ARAM incident at MLG Raleigh was the last time they played, which Curse actually won. They lost the ARAM but then beat Dig 3-1 in normal games. And that was when Westrice started top, I think they are a better team with Voy.

Can someone explain why 15000 people are watching Phreak stream? It seems mind boggling to me

wardens mail is still the best first item for tanky supports. its a lot cheaper and you don't need the hp regen now that you have a bottle. Locket stacking is pretty lulzy for anti aoe team comps.

Because he explains a lot and he is pleasant to listen to. Also he doesn't say "camped" every time he gets ganked.

Jungle irelia and support panth are perfectly viable in normal draft -- it's not like they're completely stupid, as you said, panth has a stun. Panth is actually part of some of the more insane kill lanes bot -- be more open minded about teamcomps esp. in normals

I think jungle Irelia and support Pantheon are OK even in ranked. They are not that bad. I do get really annoyed if someone plays, say, support Katarina.
I don't like people "picking Veigar because I want to play him" in normal draft though. If you want to play a very specific champion you should be playing blind.

On the other hand Chaox can only play Corki, Regi is shut down by a Karthus ban and no one on the team knows how to farm after 2 towers are down. Its funny, its not that long since the regionals, where people were saying that Regi can only play Morgana. And not long before that when they said that Regis Grag is the only decent champ he has. 
Regi Morg is still a good morg, the problem is morg is not still morg.

Bad examples on my part, they were just fresh in my mind because I played those games recently where people picked those champs in those roles and lost with them. They were probably just having a bad game. That second point was more what I was trying to say anyway.

What happened to morg? DId she get nerfed or something?

Idea:
Team all starts machete for 10 true + 10% bonus vs neutral, goes for a really quick dragon and ends up with a lot of experience and +100 net gold. Worth it?
I remember TPA or something going for a 2:30 dragon, thought it was pretty cool. Might be even better now with the machete.
