Yeah, that's what I had said. I was hoping I was wrong.

Which are the "weak" picks here?
MF + Leona is a beastly lane and MF snowballs really well. Jinx is a great ADC and Janna has her moments too.
I've seen both WW and Wukong junglers carry games... so I'm confused about your complaint.

I generally do have a small champion pool and try to keep my skills up on them.
Jungle; Vi, Shyvana, Zac, Lee Sin, Kha'Zix (still learning how to Insec though) Top: Riven, Shyvana, Shen, Kha'Zix, Aatrox Mid: Kassadin, Karma, Kha'Zix ADC: Jinx, Caitlyn, Lucian, Varus Support: Thresh, Leona, Sona
Side note: I find it amusing that 0 regions picked Riven for the Path of Freedom. NA picked Truth (diana), while most other areas picked Warrior (Trynd). It looks like the other areas that picked truth are Canada, Russia, Australia and Garena/South Korea.

America already has freedom, we could use some truth thou.

Well that need not be true. For starters they could boost his uptime on w so he can be in turret mode more often. They could compensate him more lategame with a better base as so he scales more ridiculously with items, etc.
Jinx and kog both can be good if they are allowed to have different peaks.

I see. Well keep at it, or we can try duo'ing once I hit 30 on my smurf (almost 26.... it's so fucking slow... god damn it...)

Out of the last 7 ranked games I've played, I went 2-5 (after going 6-4 in placements), with one win being from the enemy team throwing, and the losses all being from my team raging at each other and feeding kills to their opponent. It doesn't help that they generally picked weak champions (MF + Leona vs Jinx + Janna, WW jungle vs. Wukong jungle) or high skill champs (Kassidan, LB).
It's why I want a duo partner; if I play bad then I can at least try to give the duo partner kills or put him/her in a position for them to carry me, and visa versa. And with me being jungler, if the partner is mid or top I can feed kills to them with ganks and snowball them that way. If the duo person is adc/support then I can try to gank bot or rely on them to make sure they don't throw and I can focus on making sure mid/top get kills or don't feed. Honestly, in Bronze, whether a champion is good or not isn't all that important. Play what you like, get good with it, and you'll carry no problem. In any case, don't be shy with pings if your allies are doing something stupid. It's a good habit to develop. I disagree with this sentiment. Theoretically you can always outplay your opponent no matter how bad your champion/lane match up is, we are in our perspective leagues for a reason - we are probably fairly close in skills with other players in that league, and it's not possible to suddenly improve to Diamond I's skill level over night. While I think everyone will agree that having a small yet focused champion pool helps, I think it also helps a lot to choose "strong" champions into this pool - because we should all try to get all the advantages we can get.
That's true, though I say this because...
1. It's easier to stick with playing a small pool of champions if they're champions that you like playing.
2. Getting bogged down worrying about anything besides mechanics and game sense (like whether a champion is OP or not) is a liability in Bronze. The worst thing a Bronze player can do is leave a game thinking, "I lost because X is OP."
EDIT: Forgot, learning "OP" champions also increases the chance of you getting banned out.

New Xerath is interesting.
His close range damage is very very large. Q doesnt go on cooldown till you launch it, so close range q's are very short cooldown.
ewq rrr does alot of damage, and can be done in the 2 second stun.
Feels somewhat like a combination of ziggs and lux, but is very squishy and no escapes and self slow/root means that he can be dove upon and killed very easily. It's interesting how his skills have range but the longer range you get the less dps you do. (Q)
Ult range is wtf, doesn't need to be 1/2 the map, rank 3 being a bit more then rank 1 range would be fine.
My ewq alone combo was almost 1 shotting squishies.

If I'm jungling the D-man I run 9/21/0 Masteries, and for runes I do AD Marks/Armour Seals/MR/level Glyphs and Movement Speed Quints. The MS Quints bump his base movement speed from 340 to 355, and then coupled with his passive he can stick to people very well once he catches up with them.

I've played against him once so far. I was a little bit surprised with his level 3 damage combo, but honestly he didn't seem very dissimilar from old Xerath aside from the BS ult range.
Roaming vs. him is annoying because he barely has to leave the lane to countergank you with his ult. Prob easier to just play some Assassin lane bully and kill him in lane over and over.

i keep accidentally breaking ult from from just 1 mis-rightclick rofl

So since vel koz is on the PBE I decided to figure out what full combo base damage he had at level 6.
For comparison, Leblanc leveling W for waveclear: 555 magic damage Vel koz leveling W for maximum damages (and waveclear): 825 magic damage and 255 true damage (from passive procs).
Of course that's assumes you hit every tick of his 2.5 second lazor beam ultimate that constitutes 60% of the damage. Leblanc's ult is only 36% of her damage.
I'm sure the numbers will change but it was fun to work with them.

Has anyone been having trouble with Vi's Q? Whenever I try to charge it up sometimes the Q will just go off randomly, I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong or it's a bug.

So interesting bug. Pantheon was coming to gank me, and aside from a floating red and blue buff indicator, he was completely invisible. He turned visible after I died though.
New passive op.
