Communication is useful when you're good. Most players aren't.

Well if youre duo bot your expected to have better communication and do much better bot lane than the opposition who dont know each other


See that is exactly the problem. You think communication >>>> everything else.

In bronze 5 maybe that is true. But I feel most plat+ ADC players have very good expectation of what his soloQ support is trying to do and will quickly react to the situation.

That's true when the support is also plat+.

Some supports...are extremely erratic and try to make questionable plays. Or none at all (those are the worst supports).

i think kayle is super strong in competitive and in solo q play, for similar reasons

kayle is really gay cuz she's a strong laner wth a shitton of dmg and later on can completely nullify someone getting caught out of position and turn the fight as the other team inevitably piles on cc and dmg onto the ulted target

Nightblue3 says that Amumu is a top tier jangler.

We were all wrong gaiz, bronze had it figured out for YEARS

Amumu has always been top tier in solo queue though. Even when he ate fat nerfs he would still be relevant in the game.

So I have really been liking Lulu recently and typically build ancient coin on her. However I saw someone getting Frostfang on her on Saint's stream and although I think the general consensus is that this item sucks, I wanted to math out the relative gold gains from the two:

Nomads medallion: 2 Gold/10 seconds + 4 Gold per nearby minion kill
with 19 minions spawning every 90 seconds this can give you at most 2 + ((4 x 19)/9) = 10.44 GP10

Frostfang: 4 Gold/10 seconds + 8 Gold per hit on champions every 10 seconds
Assuming you hit champs every 10 seconds, this can give you at most 4 + 8 = 12 GP10

Assuming again that you are present for all minion kills in lane with the medallion, you would have to be hitting champs every 12.4 seconds with Frostfang to get similar gold income.

On a poke-heavy champion like Lulu this may be possible. Also to note is that if the Frostfang user ran the bandit mastery while the medallion user did not, the frostfang user would have to hit enemy champs even less often. I know the active on Frostfang upgrade sucks compared to medallion's but just some food for thought especially since some supports can really benefit from the extra AP of Frostfang.

Apart from... for frostfang it's actually..

x = number of champs on bot lane

4 + 8*x = y.

data for 1 week, all regions, all divisions, solo q

ziggs has 55.24% win rate, amumu 54.92%. 3rd place is wukong at 53.94% but his pick rate is half of ziggs/amumu so the results might be a little off (he's strong though). kayle is at 53.22%

moving up to gold only, ziggs has 55.46%, amumu 55.41%, kayle 53.82%

platinum, ziggs 55.25%, amumu 54.62%, kayle 54.23%

diamond, ziggs 54.55%, amumu literally disappears from the highest winrate list (plat->diamond is when people start being able to dodge skillshots, not stack up for amumu grouphugs), kayle is at 53.96%. interesting observation here is that fiddle is at 53.99% (second highest). teemo also makes an appearence at 53.72%

challenger stats are pretty pointless since there's too little, but a notable one is nami who's picked in 8.05% of games and wins 63.37% of the time

7-3 in placements got me from gold 3 (last season) to....gold 3. getting matched with a lot of plats though.

12-4 overall so far this season, with about 12 of those games being either kat mid or lee jungle


how are you skilling and building Kat? what matchups?


I generally QEWQ and then max R>Q>W>E, although sometimes I put a few more points in E before W max if I need the cd/dmg.

Usually dfg -> zhonya build. I play Tiensi style, spamming Q on the other guy on cooldown in lane and try to beat them to 6.

Won vs a Leblanc, Gragas, and Anivia, won lane but lost game vs a Ziggs.

Are her ratios really worth it? Oh, yeah, they added a ratio on Pix in exchange for nerfing it at early levels, so I guess it makes up for it more or less.

Ah you are right, hmm that makes the math a little weirder, or at least makes you have to make more assumptions to get an estimate, but that means Frostfang could potentially get 20 GP10, wowzah.

If you can get the enemy team to just stand in a line while you Glitterlance them all every 10 seconds it gives 44 GP10. Pretty overpowered.
