Is it just me, or is what Riot sugesting in the "unique vision slot" something that shouldn't be a unique slot? A) A re-usable ward (1 hp, 90 sec cd) [Upgrades into dropping real wards] B) An item that is basically a mini CV (90 sec cd) [Upgrades into longer range/radius] C) A scanner that lets you reveal hidden wards (90 sec cd) [Upgrades into shorter cooldown/limited oracles effect] These sound like cool ideas non-supports, since supports probably still going to get sightstone/ora, and stuff like cv should be bought pretty early in

Lux vs a good diving combo is no fun though, if you have to play vs it, make sure your jungler knows they can dive you easy, because it's really easy to turn the dives into double kills for your team if he's on the same page as you. Ah OK. And nobody really wards, I am still low level. I will have to start warding banana brush instead of the brush in river.

Yeah warding in low level games (or even higher level games...) can feel pointless when you're the only one on your team doing it. But remember, it doesn't only keep you safe, it also helps your team be safe and lets you and your team have a good grasp of where the enemy jungler currently is and where he might be going.
One ward on either side mid is enough to keep you safe and stop the enemy jungler from going into your jungle through mid and bypassing top/bot wards that way.

I've been running him 9/21/0 in both top and jungle, with DBlades/BotRK as damage items and SV/Randuin's/GA as tank items. Double Revive is pretty good, though I think with his decent AD scaling Hydra or BT might be better than BotRK - though BotRK is what it is and very strong. I Think hydra is the best because his kit is all as steroids.

Hydra + tank items is the best for Aatrox, but the reason everyone gets BoRK on him is because of the slow the active brings. With the slow nerfed it seems like people will favor the Hydra now.

Getting items as Aatrox? Obviously doing it wrong.
Gotta be like Lovelin--marginally richer than your support and same gold value as enemy jungler even though you're in a stomp game--and still willing to manmode 1v5 with DBlade+Cutlass.

Anyone else on EUW constantly getting "The game has crashed. Please try to reconnect to the game." screens?

wow, that game with the trolls i jsut posted about didnt even count, not in my match history after the game abandoned thing cleared up
shallow stay winning

Edit: Need to see if I can rationalize being bad IMO I actually think it favors viktor if you play it right. You can take standard caster runes and masteries, make sure you have armor yellows. Rush that pre-hourglass item (whatever it's called, can't remember, shard or something...), and max Q if you're looking to beat him outright at 6. Max E if you want to be passive early and just farm/push him in so he loses a lot of xp if he ganks. If he jumps you just W yourself and run away. The stun lasts long enought hat he cant follow up W. All in all I think you should be alright. Considering Viktor's W long animation, wouldn't Panth be able to at least auto-Q or full-channel E him before he gets stunned? You'd have to react pretty fast to even be able to start the animation before you're stunned, too.
Problem with Viktor is his Q favours him if he can get the initiative (you only get the shield as the projectile returns) so he's protected from retaliation. Seems to often be the case when I play people who don't understand him, but considering that as Pantheon you want to trade hard early, if I see Viktor walking up to me I'll make sure to Q him as soon as he gets in range so that it won't get shielded even if Viktor does the same. I should have more MR than he has armour, and at low level my Q's on only half his' cooldown, he can't win this way.
Think I'd rather cower the first levels, even if it means missing some farm, and take W at level 3 or 4 (instead of skipping it till 8 as I do pretty often when I want to trade). Once the lane is pushed, if the jungler comes you can drop W under Pantheon as he comes to Q you (since you're pushed he shouldn't try to stun you within tower range unless you're low enough to die, and then you fucked up) and since he has no escapes it's at least his Flash burnt, if not a kill.
Makes me wonder in which match-ups one would max Q as Viktor, since it trades pretty hard if you can make use of it, but it's so short-ranged and anyone with quick bursts (Kass, Annie, etc.) can unload before your shield comes back.

What reds/quints are people using on Aatrox? Is it just AS reds and ad/ms quints or do people run AD reds and LS quints for dblade start like I've seen many Lee players do?

Jatt does realise it's pronounced "Push-oo", not "Poo-Shoe" right?
