Bans + blind pick worked really well for the Wickd v Soaz 1v1. I feel like they should go to 2 (kills+turrets), though. It would give a lot of potential for a comeback after one player allins with both summoner spells and the other guy decides to save his.

My early submission would be Alistar. Garen Vs. Garen would be fucking awful. Both Q, run at eachother, silence eachother, and most likely run away and wait for Q cooldown.
You know, you could spin before you get silence... singed vs singed would be lol.

So this game we had Janna(me), Jayce, Nidalee, Nasus and the last pick was supposed to be ADC. However, he instalocked gragas and said he ignored all because we didn't ban Thresh and because Janna is a trash support. So we had to improvise and have Jayce go bot with me, Gragas mid and Nidalee top. Me and Jayce ended up laning against Lulu/Ezreal.
Long story short, the Jayce totally destroyed the lane. It was at the level where I could just shield the Jayce and he jumped in on the enemy Ezreal and basically oneshot him. Also, every time he did his acceleration gate Q I just shielded him and it dunked the opponents for like half their HP. Continued into the lategame of course, where the Jayce basically 1v3d them at one point.
I sort of wonder why Jayce is never played as the ADC. He was even supposed to toplane, probably isn't good at the ADC role, and did quite a bit of work.

AA range is a stat that scales really well with basically everything. Jayce has low AA range, so unless he gets stupidly ahead, he falls off.
Me and my friends tried so AD Jayce (usually with Lulu/Sona) when he first came out. Seemed alright, but we went back to traditional stuff, idr exactly why.

So is Trundle on anyone else's permaban list now?
Have no clue how to deal with him once he starts getting beefy + botrk hurts.

since i am jungler for my arranged 5s team and the current strategies revolve around having budget tanks come from the jungle, i just learned that my favorite heroes tend not to be tanky... so now i have to learn how to play like that.
being a good tank is more than just charging in blindly, but there's an art to distraction. not only do you want to make the enemy blow their cooldowns and autoattacks on you, but you also want them to work hard to try and make them spend time running after you to use their cooldowns while balancing the distance properly so that they can't engage on more damaging targets. it's realistic aggro management.
so sometimes, it's not about them "focusing" you, but the fact that in the engagement, you play a good distraction role and you were able to disrupt them from really getting on bigger targets. combined with the fact that you are anivia and you still do good damage because of base damage and ratios and it's not easy getting past tanknivia.

If Jayce was 550 range he would be the best adc ever

I find that the fights go best when the tanky champion zones the ADC so that he moves towards him, makes him focus him and kite back, then the tanky champion moves back towards the fight, maybe attacks people, then moves back towards the ADC and forces him to back away and so on. This seems to be 1000x more effective than the tanky champion chasing the ADC for half the map even though that might end up in a kill as well, because the tanky champion has the opportunity to go for low hp targets and so on.

Except I've played vs Trundle a grand total of like 3 times in the past year, and his ult got changed, and his W increases healing done now, so I really don't have a clue how to. Hence why I asked.
|
Well it really was a lot more difficult back when his W gave tenacity... Now he's much easier to kite and hold back. You deal with him in the same exact way as you do with like, any bruiser with say, ghost activated. He still can 1v1 anything of course but I really don't think anything changed about how you play against him, apart from the fact that, again, it's much easier now that he doesn't get a ton of free tenacity. How you deal with a ghosted bruiser depends, but it can range from peeling to focusing to kiting etc.
His ult is actually weaker now in the lategame.
|
Playing solid games isnt enough to carry you in bronze, really, i dont ever feed or fail but i just cant escape :-D You really need to CRUSH the opponents and carry hard, which is impossible for me since i think im only at like a mid-high silver level xD
Not a Q.Q, just an observation.
Carry hard or go home really.
|
I just realized. Rumble/TF are dominating the W/L at 56% but Sona, despite being as squishy as a minion has a 55% WR and Janna's up there too in soloQ. Interesting to say the least, given that they haven't changed much. Other surprising champions at high WRs are nautilus and rammus.

What adc should I buy?
Right now I have ashe, but I dont like her, the attack animation is awful imho. Trist, which I really come to love, but I wanna learn new champions. corki, who i currently play and who feels very weak because of his low mana pool sivir, which I also dont like. no escape, no peel, people just dive on you and kill you while you desperately try to kite them with your passive. Really annoying.
So, twitch is cheap. Kog 'maw, graves and draven look really fun though, I dont know. Never played them t.t maybe you can help? Oo
