they are almost allways associated with misuse of said wordm, bad/non-existant reasoning and magical thinking. I bet there are more of that kind.

Also, what junglers are now are viable but not mainly used? I ask this because I happened to use Rammus again and found him pretty fun despite the fact that he's never seen, and I was wondering if there were any other junglers like that (good enough to not make winning incredibly hard). | ||

Source You forgot "proc" So...discounting $15/month for ~8 million subs (which is still lower than its high by about 1/3), and the biannual $30-40 expansion cash infusion. Yea, WOW is still the all time king of computer gaming. | ||

Just go AP quints/aspd reds/armor yellows/mixed MR blues (works for Maokai too) and go EQWEER R>E>W>Q No real set build path, if you can get a Rod of Ages before 15 mins get it before SotAG otherwise just go tank stuff with SotAG and mobies. You can force a lot of dragons with feast/smite so pretty much any time you get a kill or they back you should consider it. Carry pinks and run sweeper. | ||

I bet there are more of that kind. Nay young one. You're almost there. Do not hate the words. For they have done nothing. Hate the misuse and overuse of said words. Hate bad/non-existent reasoning. Hate their convoluted, poor rational, non logical to the point of being absurd, magical thinking. But I beseech thee, leave the words out of it. | ||

I ask this because I happened to use Rammus again and found him pretty fun despite the fact that he's never seen, and I was wondering if there were any other junglers like that (good enough to not make winning incredibly hard). Aatrox is good, so is Sejuani. Aatrox you can just build him tanky with maybe Lizard and he is amazingly frustrating to deal with due to his innate damage and revive passive. People rage. lol. He LOOOVED Feral Flare before they made it so hard to get going. lol. Now he just can't put out any pressure if he buys it. Sejuani is kind of a sad panda early game if the other team pressures her jungle at all, but she is imo the best teamfighting tank. She will hate losing Spirit stone on Spirit of the Ancient Golem a lot though. I'm sure Zac is still a good jungler, like Zac / Ori wombo combo could probably turn a lot of heads. Havn't played him in a long time though. He got nerfed for top lane so people stopped jungling him, butr I think his jungle still probably prettyy strong. | ||

Not sure what his issue with counterpick is. Granted there isn't a ton of hard counters in League, but that doesn't mean there aren't counters. | ||

Lol I was typing how I wasn't sure if I agreed with you but thinking about it. AD/Sup is lane composition and that is in the game. So meta wouldn't be applicable there. Never really thought about it. Thanks for the revelation friend xD | ||

I bet there are more of that kind. honestly the worst word to be used is "timing" i went over why it makes zero sense in a post ages ago but i still detest people who use the word since nothing is ever going to happen at the same thing you cant be like and its not even time related when people use it like what the fuck "im still on my 2 item timing 30 minutes in this game, but i was on it at 20 minutes last game" I'm still waiting on someone to say "Their adc is on his 1item timing, but the other adc is fed and is on his 3 item timing" or something equally as fucking retarded | ||

Its annoying to someone who cares about the literal meaning of the English word but otherwise Chinese/Korean misuse of an English word to describe what the word actually is being used to describe is fine. | ||

Why are you trying to remove the time component? | ||
