which is why ironically top lane is the second best carry role in solo queue after jungle. A person that actually plays top lane against a person forced into it is just a joke. you'll be playing a 4v5 before you know it unless your jungler is significantly better.

think the challenger statistics went something like jungler > top lane > AD > mid/support

That doesn't make it the best carry role lol.It is very easy to not fall behind even if you don't play top and are clearly worse than the other guy.

Depends on the matchup. Vs something like Udyr if you know what you are doing then you shouldn't really lose, but if you make one mistake then you are on straight way to lose (at least from my experience, there are more champs and matchups like that).

Dunno about other elos but at my level winning mid gives you roam, winning bot gives you dragon and winning top gives you t2 turret at best. But then it may be my playstyle or me being bad at handling carry power.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

So that cassiopeia bot thing is a real thing? I think i played one a couple days ago then tbh. Fucker instalocked a cassio support and just did perfect harrass from maxrange, didnt stand a fucking chance. I could go into details about insta poison, fangs if you were anywhere close but meh, she ended something like 16/3/16.

I just assumed it was a smurf / elobooster. It was pretty fucking godlike tbh and the more i think about it the more the behaviour looks "botlike"

No doubt this guy is the very definition of an OP kit.

Passive, restores % hp on spell cast.
Q = Tons of scaling, tons of base damage, and slows attack speeds for 20%.
W = Passive 100% uptime damage reduction, AD buff and mana restore. No mana cost at all.
E = Double scaling high damage attack that slows targets, can be used for an escape as well.
R = HUGE DAMAGE knockback.

So this guy was designed to be basically a combination of the best abilities in the entire game in addition to having enormous damage?

Now that I am level 30, I am thinking of playing a single champion for ranked. That champion only. If the said champion is banned I will dodge. I obviously don't want a fotm champion, one which is banned too often, or one that is too unstable (subject to upcoming nerf or buff hammer). It would be nicer if the said champion can play multiple roles.

My short list right now:

Cassiopeia (support Cassiopeia is real?)
Mordekaiser (jungle Morde is real?)
Karthus (jungle Karthus IS real)
Warwick
Nami (only play her as support, no one will steal my role)
Soraka (mid Soraka IS real)

he has changed so much over time too. when he came out it was the fort pot level 1 with him, body slam you at lvl 2 for half your hp with W on.

Then there was the broken innervating locket tank build on him, always heal never die.

then pure ap.

Honestly I have no clue if there is a counter to good leblancs other than ban.There are champs that can go even but problem is you can't really move out of lane at all unless your jungler is god and provides an insane amound of pressure/vision.

That is how LB is supposed to be. If she couldn't lane bully and do sick single target damage...there would be no point of playing Leblanc.

I think most lol assassins suffer from the same problem that they don't have to commit to staying in the fight once they go (either courtesy of resets or similar mechanics). Having the option to delete the target of choice from the other team and generally escape comfortably is super strong. Personally (opinion alert!) I think they'd be much more interesting if they had the choice of being slippery into or out of the fight but not both.

the counter to leblanc in solo q is having some one that isnt an idiot mid and picks up barrier and a champ with good waveclear and simply keeps pushing lane all day. If you can get to teamfights without leblanc having less than 3 kills then you have won mid unless you dont know how to play teamfights or something.

Top ganks are a waste of time unless there's kill potential and there's probably not a lot of that if his lane is getting owned and on top of that good players will immediately dragon if it's 1v2 top

Let the dying lanes die.
ganking top is usually a bad idea. leaves open objectives like your buffs+dragon; and the amount of gold you get for the kill is pretty in consequential, unless you're counter ganking an enemy rotation that forces you to go top.
