Catch a lux near river with a slow and dont kill her till inhib tower 3v1? Lux is a bitch and a half to catch if she has any spacing.

They should use average team soloq elo to determine your starting point in teams I think. I got matched up against a team whose lowest elo was 2000 back in season 2. Needless to say my butt felt raw after that game. as a silver player who teams with low gold players in arranged 5s, we've stomped teams with plats and diamonds. I call B.S. a team of random plats will always win vs a team of silvers, does not matter the coordination. If you're silver you have no game sense, 5 people with no game sense is still no game sense. A team of silvers that tryhard will win against a team of plats that troll each other though. The skill difference between silver and plat is pretty cataclysmic. A plat person playing in silver can easily have an 80% win rate, now with 5 plats, it really doesn't take any effort. Some people have come up with some pretty creative trolls.
I knew a guy who had his entire team troll their jungle alistar by having everyone have the exact same inventory as him. Whenever ali recalled or died, everyone recalled at once; they bought the exact same items (ad and support split farm so support can afford them); when alistar used a ward, everyone dropped a ward where they were standing at once. "Alistar you should buy some damage items" "why ali's a tank" "just cause, we won't have any damage if you don't" "what are you talking abou--what the fuck"

that's called follow the leader or captain mode and it's fantastic when queueing up as 4 people
i feel like it was caller's creation

My friends and I call it commander mode, but we only do it in aram with an 8 man stack nowadays :X I should probably write a post about it or something since there's no point in keeping it secret anymore now that aram queues are going to come out and it'll be impossible to do.

Nerfing turret is retarded, I'm sure they followed Saintvicious' whine a little too much, that's the boring part, since Riot is Na, Na players have a direct link to the company and can influence the evolution of the game more than other region. That's such a stupid stupid assumption to make of any developer that's international. I have no idea what makes you think NA region is the only one taken into account with the decisions being made. Seriously, it's pretty borderline delusional to say such a thing. maybe becauseeeeee,riots HQ is in NA and they frequently invite pro players there which happen to be from NA TT It's not dumb to assume that they listen mostly to them since they are mostly surrounded with na players I seem to remember the entire NA scene(pro's included) whining that Ezreal was terrible and needed buffs and Riot said he's doing fine in China? I don't seem to remember many other changes to Ezreal except some mana reductions and suddenly Ezreal everyplace. Pretty sure Riot looks at everything considering some champions just don't catch on NA for ages(Zed, Eve now, S2 Ezreal, TF, Gragas, Rumble..) Proof actually. Ezreal was OP in China, NA screamed weak, EZ got buff.
I'm sure Riot takes into account opinions of all regions, but it's also true NA players get to whisper in their ear more often.

Needless to say my butt felt raw after that game. as a silver player who teams with low gold players in arranged 5s, we've stomped teams with plats and diamonds. A team with random high elo players would lose every time to a team of coordinated but lower elo players. I've seen this time and time again. 5's is a completely different game than solo queue, there's a separate body of knowledge that needs to be learned no matter how high elo you are. You really need to put something like this into perspective though. 5 diamonds vs 5 plats, sure the "lower" elo team here definitely has a possibility of winning with better coordination. But 5 diamonds vs silvers and/or golds? They won't make it out of laning phase strong enough to make use of their coordination. Elo isn't a be all, end all but it is still a metric of some sort. A friend of mine is in a french team called prelude. He is a silver support and the players in the team are all gold at best and they win diamond team every week. They play together a lot tho (3 times a week with tourney on week ends) and they have solid mecanics but suck at decision making in soloq (dem 1 vs 5, dem throw). They also take it quite seriously (they have a stream that cast their matches and all).
I also think elo is a metric, but it can be compensated and a lot of people do less mistaked when they listen to the designated lead on skype.

By "they win diamond team every week" do you mean Diamond in 5s or teams made up of Diamond solo queue players?
Because there's an enormous difference. It's likely that the majority of Diamond teams in 5s aren't actually made up of Diamond players and are actually just other equally bad silver and gold players.

A team made of diamond in soloq. They achieved second in the last french go4lol like cup. (No good team play that cup tho)

And if I remember well they could beat plat team in the previous season but would always be badly destroyed against diamond then.

Only two champs' names' letters are in alphabetical order-- fizz and lux. But reverse-alphabetical has sona, vi, zed, and zyra!
