His ganks in mid and botlane should be pretty easy imo. Leap onto teammate, land Q. proceed to stun.

Your cc and damage is almost totally reliant on your teammates and a skillshot though, which doesn't seem too great.

How to Irelia vs Darius?
I got shit on so hard... Started out with 9-21-0 masteries and cloth+5 and still didn't work out. I think I was just too aggro on him, since I couldn't trade anything...
Also what do you buy vs him, armor or HP? I started out with Ninja Tabi+Dblade into Cutlass>Bork and then a TF+Chain Vest, would it have been better to get some HP inbetween?
I'm generally pretty bad at buying doran's items, when do you buy extra ones and when do you not?

I'm generally pretty bad at buying doran's items, when do you buy extra ones and when do you not? I remember reading Irelia vs Darius is pretty unwinnable tbh. I'd just try to farm up as much as you can and try not to take too many Axe Q's to the face
I dont think theres ever a real set reason unless you are super super ahead, usually imo on top lane a dorans blade/shield is usually pretty decent to invest in. But if youre super ahead like kills early maybe a vamp/whatever you need would be better

does he have periods of periods punctuated by question marks?

I don't want a calendar, I just want to be able to visit TL and go "oh yeah OGN/LCS is on, forgot that" and click on it. We'll see what they do ...

I believe that the LoL events will be filtered OUT by default, but you'll be able to put them in the calendar with a profile edit.

Tbh if they even let you add DotA 2 and HS events back in the default TL calendar (and conversely, SC2 on the other sites too, I'm not gonna mention LoL on liquiddota obv. ) and had the calendar working cross-sites or something like the accounts do, it'd be pretty good.

His ganks will be fine if your allies have gap closers. I don't think that would be the issue. The issue would be how do you clear creeps with zero base damage and the sole clearing power coming from concussive blows bonus damage of 12 + 2xlevel per attack.

Like I said zero aoe, zero sustain, unless they make golem give you cleave i dont see how he can possibly do anything in the jungle besides cost your team the game.
Like someone said in the last thread they designed him in a way he can do nothing but support. Though it looks like he'll be really good at it

The very first coaching video by LastShadow I saw was where he was coaching some Ryze v Orianna game and tried to argue that Ryze at one point should have flashed in with ignite for a kill -- totally forgetting that Orianna had heal, meaning Ryze would just be tanking a minion wave and a half and almost certainly give up first blood.

You shouldn't live in the past though. The only way to prove that you are still a top NA player is to play your way up to the top spots of NA ladder.
I was top25 EUNE, and I was offered to form a team with Bjergsen and Malunoo back in early season 2, I didn't though and I somewhat regret that (because it meant transferring away from IRL friends to EUW). It doesn't mean I'm at that level anymore - everyone around me got better but personally I probably just stayed equally good due to not playing much, and it could be the same case with you.

It's just a button you click on that gives you a dropdown of all the lolevents over the next 3 or so days, with links to streams, official websites, and leaguepedia pages. Far more thorough than TL's will ever be.

I kind of want Braum now, but at the same time, I need all the IP I can get for the upcoming rune page sale.. tough times.
