Well the jungle is the easiest place to put a worthless tank in the first place. If you put one in a lane most likely they will get destroyed. Second damage scales better then defenses, so you should put the highest farm lanes as damage also. The way the game is built, 4th position should just be the tank. You can get away with things by putting a champion as the jungler that you couldn't get away with as a laner.
I'm also not talking about a player raging. The psychological effect of your opponent getting buff experience and a buff is large. It might even be larger then the actually difference in the lane.
The things that go into why you give buffs away, why certain champions are played in the jungle are much larger then just if you want to do damage and carry. It's all about min maxing (and though these things technically don't apply to solo queue, you should practice how you play).
edit: also no longer a queen, now I'm a mutalisk. My life is complete.

Is there anywhere I can find aggregated tournament statistics? Stuff like Leaguepedia has stats for individual tournaments but doesn't seem to have any way of seeing stats for multiple tournaments simultaneously.

Ideally such a system would allow you to sort the data by time period / patch. I think the information provided would be very relevant and revealing.

Edit: Just because the current state of the game is so dependent on the current patch.

Did.... did Viktor just get a small nerf?

When I play a blue dependent mid like Lux(pure damage build) or Anivia, if the jungler takes the 2nd blue and they can use it well (hec/mumu/olaf), I'm ok with that, but when they take every single blue it gets really annoying.
They are crippling their mid for a smallish advantage.

Looking at the proposed Ez nerfs I have to wonder, was Ezreal really trash tier before PFE came out?
Anyway the new skins look really sweet, I really want to get the corki skin but it looks kinda like a rip off of lion dance kog....

No, he was slept on as fuck. It's really hard to change general opinions on things because top players aren't necessarily good theorycrafters, and nobody will do something until top teams/players do it. Hell, it took a long time for people to realize how good ASpeed slows are. Also Eve was considered trash tier before Dustfox/Sorakabot made it to number 1 on EU spamming Revive/Smite eve. It took ages for Rincent masteries to be figured out and abused in S2.

It honestly kind of blows my mind that they don't just straight up do this. Every other part of ez is not problematic except for his guaranteed-escape-no-matter-what button afaik.
