when your MMR is crap, yeah you go from goldV to bronze, even with 5-5 placement matches. | ||

I was playing so bad today. >.> Oh you were the enemy mid both games. Gawd. My lux built chalice into zhonyas, and did no damage for such a long time. And my zyra pick was so shitters, though to be fair vi just put a tent on my lane and stayed. My butthole was raw that game. And 2nd game my trist was trying to trade autos in lane against caitlyn. | ||

Of course not. Thresh is a great champion, and does many things better than Blitz, but Blitz still has some advantages (namely getting better hooks) and is therefore still viable. And I'm having success versus platinum level players this time around, not just my fellow bronzies. He is not completely useless. No one said that. But he is pretty weak right now. | ||

Blitz has always been a fringe pick, the only issue for the month is that he's relatively weak in lane vs leona and thresh, both of whom are popular now. By nature of the champion blitz will always be OP in solo queue though | ||

The other side of it is that it doesnt matter much how far behind you are. 1 good grab lategame can win you the game regardless. | ||

Blitz has always been a fringe pick, the only issue for the month is that he's relatively weak in lane vs leona and thresh, both of whom are popular now. By nature of the champion blitz will always be OP in solo queue though Pretty much I rush 40% CDR after getting sightstone. Usually in the form of Talisman + FH, though Locket is a better buy if my team is facing lots of nukers rather than just sick auto attack damage. To all those who claim he's so far behind from laning phase, I'm wondering if you're just playing with terrible Blitzcranks/are terrible on Blitzcrank. You can hold the line and threaten their adc with hooks, but if you miss (which you shouldn't most of the time) then prepare to be poked down for it. I generally like to allow the lane to push into our tower and then either the jungler can gank (even if he walks past a ward you're still going to engage with a hook) or you can threaten to grab under tower and either they respect it and you get a safety buffer around your tower to last hit, or they play aggressive and you grab them and they are forced to burn flash and not do that again. I guess my success with him only works because I hit a majority of my hooks. When you're bad at hitting hooks, he's a much weaker champion. | ||

I dunno. cait, orianna? also renekton has plenty of softcounters who can easily go even in lane and outscale him horribly, they are rushing the nerfs just when they nerfed his core items which is similar to what they did to jayce -.- | ||

If every champion peaks or have the same power level throughout the game it gets boring plus it lowers variety of viable champions. If every champion has the same power levels throughout the game, competitive teams will only pick the champions with the highest overall impact. The problem I have observed with this is that riot really doesn't believe it. Like, imagine a Renekton that does "his job" something like winning lane, taking tower, and roaming for a dragon or a kill. That isn't that great of a job by Renekton, but it is good enough for him to be ahead of say, a Jax or Olaf pretty deep into the game. That is the real problem, IMO, they don't really get punished until super late. | ||

Vs Sona it feels like a skill match up. But his lack of pre6 burst or defense steroid makes him pretty weak against tanky support s. | ||
