I plan on trying jungle Syndra today sometime, seems like a lot of fun and one of the better AP casters for the job, will be fun to troll normals with.

Btw anyone know what runes/masteries Alex Ich ran on jungle eve @ allstars? Want to re-add that to my ranked pool and curious what he went with. Checked a VOD and did not see it mentioned, but the lolchampseries youtube is missing some of the games from that weekend.

Edit: I mean troll as non-serious, not literally troll the game.

it was diamond on jungle eve.
(i know you are also diamond. i hate you. lol)

ap quints
ad reds
flat armor yellow
mix of flat/scaling MR

i ran a jungle syndra with spell vamp quints but it was kinda crappy. also if you run ap blues instead of mr blues, things get dicey in ganks because you take a ton of damage.

she operates the same as most squishy ap junglers that shouldn't really jungle. if you gank successfully in the beginning and if the other jungler isn't highly aggressive and duels you in your own jungle, you win. otherwise you become useless.

I've always wanted to get jungle Cassio to work but have never been able to. You murder things so fast on your first clear that you only use 2-3 pots, but if you ever drop your passive, even with blue buff, life becomes pain. On the plus side, the first jungle clear gives you exactly 700 gold, so you have enough to straight buy a tear on your first back and have it fully charged by 15 minutes. On the downside, if so much as an enemy Soraka steps into your jungle at any point, you die instantly (at least in my experience.)

Is everybody else noticing a sharp decline in the relative friendliness of the people they play with?

The last week or so I'm experiencing like 10x as many assholes per day, I wonder if it's because it's like summer vacation now.

Summer vacation for sure. I've stopped playing during the day, but even at 4am EST still more assholes than usual.

pretty incredible increase in caps lock, "mid or feed" and other childish fights in champ select. I usually rarely dodge but had to switch accounts 3 times for a grand total of 3 ranked games today. Summer is gonna be long :c

Two weeks ago I was to a point where I basically didn't see anybody BMing anybody anymore during the day, now I'm back to every single game people are yelling at each other constantly, even games that we win. It is demoralizing.

I wonder when Riot is going to do some long awaited player behavior fixes. I appreciate the stuff they have going right now but it's blatant that more needs to be done, it upsets me that somebody can call somebody else a retard in a game and they don't get immediately banned for it.

My rule of thumb. No one is mean to the nice guy who's carrying his team. Be that dude and no one complains at you.

Gosugamers actually has a LoL power rank.

But it's kind of dumb to do a LoL power rank the way the scene is set up currently. There are almost no international events due to the way Riot's system works so the only real power rank you could do would be by region and the teams are already ranked by their weekly performance. You don't have multiple leagues in NA so power ranking the LCS teams seems redundant since they'd probably line up exactly how they line up in LCS ranking.

Ranking teams in different regions that literally never play against each other is rough too because there's almost no way to fairly assess the strength of all the teams. If you only did a top 10 like the BW power rank where do you put teams like Gambit and Fnatic who probably can compete with Asians but we really haven't seen enough of that interaction to know. What about a team like TSM who's undeniably stronger than every NA team but who you can't fairly put in a top 10 because they've never beaten an Asian team (except maybe SGS?).

I really enjoyed the power rank in Brood War. It was well done and accurately gave a good representation of who was on a hot streak since there were so many different leagues everyone played in (ProLeague, OSL, MSL). But in league every pro team plays in only one league, which essentially has their power rank laid out by their record. There are virtually no international events to gauge the strength of OMG or iG compared to Gambit or Fnatic compared to CJ Blaze or MVP Ozone compared to GGU or TSM.
