Upon consideration I am going for the following champion pool for my alt account. The goal here is to play some (obscure?) champions I would not normally play. Furthermore, I wan to try to play more aggressive early game champions and/or splitpushers when possible.

Top lane:

Garen, Tryndamere.

Jungle:

Nocturne (I am like 31-38 right now. Meh.), Yi. Also considering one of Sejuani/Pony/Fiddle/Nautilus/Rammus/Udyr

Mid:

Annie, Swain? (still need IP to buy him)

ADC:

Ashe

Support:

Taric, Blitzcrank

Because she's the staple "I crowd out all the other utility mages." When utility mages are desirable, she's the #1 pick of them and stays that way until the meta changes. There is no reason to pick a utility mage that isn't Orianna.

This is just untrue. People picked Lulu all the time for a utility mage until she was nerfed out of mid lane. Its true that Orianna is currently the #1 utility mage, but that is because she is the only worthwhile utility mage.

Its not like this nerf is bringing Lulu mid back, nor does Riot appear to have plans to bring back Anivia, Morgana, or Zyra to midlane. At this moment, and at most moments since S2 ended Orianna has represented champion diversity, because she was the only champion that Riot let be viable at a useful and core midlane niche.

That's because Lulu was clearly OP. Yet Riot has let Orianna skate by for a long, long time.

You keep dodging the question of what utility mages this is going to let shine.

Nor was I asked it.


You are being obstinate, because the question was implied in all of the replies. Maybe you just don't like utility mages in the midlane.

I just don't like when "utility mages" are strong in a meta and the only one that gets picked is Orianna. At that point, saying utility mages are strong is a misnomer, it's just Orianna. As an aside, I do think that Orianna is one of the better balanced champions in the game.

To be honest I do, but:

1. 6300 IP is kind of pricy.
2. She has a rework Soon(tm).

Why would Riot bother developing their own P2P solution when Bittorrent works just fine?

To be honest, I am not convinced that Poppy is even remotely good. I could try it (because she is 450 IP) but I am not getting my hopes up. The other ones are too pricy.

That is because riot don't want utility focused mages to be mid laners.Lulu is the only they left(soraka,janna got nerfed very fast after starting to see play in mid).Orianna isn't the only one right now but the only other one is zilean.

Lol forgot lux existed.Guess she is good but not top tier.

I think my favorite part of the new Veigar skin is his recall animation is the Konami code.

Can they add Bittorrent in a way where all it can do is get patches and not put in the entire program, thus avoiding attracting anti-piracy hatred?

gnar gonna be op as hell >_> mega gnar has wayyyyy too many stats. and he only needs two tank items and then go full offense and still be really tanky. he has a dash/creep jump ability that will make him really stupid strong to run away/gank, is manaless and on top of that, he has range so he'll wreck a lot of tops.
