What kind of approach do you guys take to picking champions and roles? Do you main champions, main roles or just pick random stuff? I always call jungle/thresh in champ select because those are the two roles I know I can do better than other people in my elo but I fill if people say they literally can't play a role (cough support). If I fill outside of those roles I just try to counterpick my lane or get a safe pick (i.e.: ryze/renekton/leblanc/ziggs/cait), try not to die and take very low % risks. A lot of people climb elo with an incredibly small champ pool so that's not uncommon. Not really possible for meta junglers though since every game is 4~6 jungle bans now (at d3 anyway).
My favorite part is that Tresh is listed as a role. God Bless.

My thresh transcends a silly generic label like support

Is NA dead? I can't connect to my game...

every time i try to play a game on NA my internet disconnects for some reason, works fine outside of LoL

So I'm in a game, and it's jungle Trynd vs. jungle Yi.
And I kind of feel like it's just Trynd vs. Yi and the other 8 of us don't matter.

Ranked down on euw for some unexplained reason  They keep ruining my gaming nights
@Ketara: Yeah, feral flare vs feral flare is fun  I hope they tune it down slightly, without destroying it completely. I don't mind seeing all these "new" junglers, but they have a bit too much impact on the game atm.

I heard that all good players use attack move to autoattack exclusively and I can see why (to avoid walking into enemies if you miss the enemy etc.). However, pressing shift+rmb is uncomfortable and I found pressing A and then LMB quickly prettty mundane, so I rebinded shift + rmb to A, so I effectively have A on smartcast and it seems to work well. Is there anything wrong with this idea that I should consider?
You can bind A to "Player Attack Move Click" in the options. This key binding is actually quite a popular suggestion in "Tips" videos on youtube (I learned it from Ciderhelm).

Not sure if that's a good idea. Ciderhelm does not play ranked - and from what it looks to me he is like.... low silver?
The point being, while I know this guy makes videos and his voice is pleasant to listen to, you shouldn't listen to his advice.

I don't actually use it, but it's essentially exactly what AlterKot was describing. I was simply pointing out that it's a basic option in the hotkeys menu.
To that point, I don't see why it would be a bad idea either though. Smart-casting autoattack-move seems like it would be fairly natural for anybody that uses smart cast for their abilities as well.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the name of the option makes it sounds like it includes ~ / only-attack-champions, which isn't necessarily a better replacement for all-encompassing attack-move.

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games?

I have forced myself to attack move more for a time, I personnaly use X for that. I really like it now and use it all the time, melee ranged even in the jungle,

really? i mean there are definitely tons of times when you should be skeptical of taking advice from low ranked players, but i'm pretty sure setting up convenient keybindings and level of competitive play is completely unrelated.

So I just played Corki for the first time in ranked in S4. Mained him in S3.
Holy shit he feels so strong late game now compared to how meh he felt in it before, may pick him up permanently.

How is his lategame buffed compared to his S3 state? Just the Q ad scaling or what?

I am not sure if it was fixed, but it used to be the case that if you hit the "player attack move click" button while typing chat text it would still fire(and so send you attack moveing when you were trying to type). This meant that it is/was impossible to chat and use that keybind method at the same time.
This might have been fixed though

Also, my game was lagging hard and then it just ended. It's not in my match history, there's no effect on my LP. Weird.

He had weird damage splits and scaling that made armorpen and AD kinda wonky. It's no surprised that his only highpoints are when Triforce is dumb.

The armorpen thing is still there, he just scales slightly better with AD.
