The only issue is that it'll never happen as long as wards are unlimited. Heck, even with limited wards supports are still going to be rather item starved, although less so. they seem to want all roles to be itemized the same. since they refuse to made adequate support items

I've kept this thread open for hours and just come back to it occasionally in between bouts of my game, usually just to make bad jokes that everyone ignores. I've flexed the shit out of my reading muscles tho. This thread was in overdrive.
i didn't ignore your jokes ;(
I mean I did in thread, it's just inside my mind I didn't.

I didn't want to quote the whole post for just that one line, so I won't.
My initial reason for asking you the question is because Kassadin reminds me of more of a DotA/classical champion than he does a LoL champion. I didn't really mean to draw attention to the fact that you like ohmwrecker as an item, and want to test it on everyone. I apologize for that part. Being Mana hungry and mana starved are different. he doesn't have mana issues until he starts mismanaging his mana or the game hits late and he needs to be ulting every few seconds. Just because he's very commonly played like you have to spam everything off cooldown doesn't mean that's correct or optimal. he doesn't remind me much of dota heroes though. What are you talking about? Without that 450mana, he can't even Riftwalk combo twice, let alone thrice. Without RoA, he has like 500 mana at level 6. The more riftwalk he can do, the more damage he deals. People want to stack up the riftwalk so that he can do 1k, 2k damage in one rift. That's a bit of an exaggeration. You have to have like 8~9 stacks of Riftwalk to break 1k damage and that's like 5k mana spent total lol http://i.imgur.com/85ISo.jpg I miss Uta. Does he basically only hang out in the Anime thread these days? yea can you skip divisions when going between leagues? Like can you go from X1 to Y3 instead of Y5? Yessir.

I actually do this. I read a whole lot more than I post, and I doubt most of the regulars know me even now.

I have never heard of someone being promoted from gold1 to plat3 or anything similiar. Nor have I seen anyone skip more than 1 division (dia5 to dia3, dia3 to dia1). To not skip from d3 to d1, but get to dia2 instead is called "to bly"

What kind of show? I'd imagine something like Jersey Shore, except every now and again we take a break and become Reading Rainbow.

THEY GAVE ME FALSE EXPECTATIONS SO I COULD BE DISAPPOINTED
I GOT SET UP
this blows then cuz i'd have to win 10 games in a row even if i get like 40 lp to go from 5 to 1 that's so many games qq
even if i get 50 lp (does that happen?) it's still like 8 games zz

Been reading probably 95 percent of them for I don't even know how long and finally realized I have no reason not to post here.

WTF! 20 LP?!? Man, I was getting 20 LP a game in gold 1 at one point, but then I had like two disconnects on my team in games I was massively favored to win, which dropped me to gold 2 on a dime, then spiraled out of control toward gold 4 again thanks to even more disconnects. I was losing like 40 LP a game at one point, and it was like half of the games were due to disconnects.
Then when I start going on 10-15 game winning streaks, I get clamped so I gain like 5 LP a game when I hit gold 1 again. I was ready to hit plat like 3 months based on my skill level (by my estimation), but the clamping and random disconnects during games where my team was massively favored made it an unbelievable grind. And people randomly leaving games to watch Pacific Rim.
And I'm cruising up the plat ranks without too much work, so I don't feel like I'm being ridiculous with my whining. I swear there's some hidden passive on my account that has "Must have at least one disconnect on his team every 10 games, followed by an additional 3-5 in the next 10 games. And some random jerk who leaves to watch a movie."

I would like to request the outlawing of discussion pertaining to LP gains / clamping. A FAQ about MMR and Leagues/Divisions should be pinned or something so no one has to discuss pointless stuff here.

Anyone who has played Aatrox a good chunk have any opinions on what matchups he's a terrible pick in, and what ones are even?

yo i just wanted to know if you could skip divisions

Oh man, TF feels so awkward. The picking a card thing is fine, barely anything changed but only being able to hold a card for 4 seconds is awful. Assuming you take 1s to pick your card and start the teleport, by the time you teleport in, you have 1.5s to throw the card or you've teleported in with something worse than a blue card, no card and a long cooldown before your next one.
Sure it makes him weaker in lane but 4s is absolutely terrible. If TF ports in and you flash, TF will literally run out of time to throw the card by the time he flashes. Any CC, janna tornado, lulu W nami Q etc can completely negate TF ulti, even if TF is willing to spend flash to chase after the CC's over.
I know what riot was trying to address, the pick a gold card and zone someone out for 10s thing that TFs did but it only really affects the bad TFs. Good TFs now just hit W and wait for 6s before picking a card, with the same effect.
