Whenever it comes up I have to remember that most people playing this game are teenagers. That makes it easier to stomach the fields of bullshit being spewed on both sides of the argument. I actually recommend anybody mad at this community to remember that whenever they're in a game. I think most older people can remember when they were a shithead teenager.

There is nothing more annoying then people making snide non-ban worthy comments towards you and if you say anything to them back its a report and restrict. You mean like this post? Because this post by you is exactly the kind of attitude you're deriding. How was that post passive aggressive 0o? This is passive aggressive - Hey Ketara, you might want to brush up on your English because that is not what passive aggressive means. But hey, you're from Thailand so I will just assume it's not your native language! That's ok though man, just try to get better at english  )) GLHF!
This is deeply ironic.

LOL, that's a fantastic example of passive aggressiveness. Well done, ggnore.
Personally I'm pretty immune to toxic behavior because they're words on the internet from a stranger so I just ???
That being said I still report the shit out of them because it never adds to the game, it only ever detracts from it or makes your own team tilt. I do enjoy trash talk in /all though, that's fun. But trashing on your own team is so wtf. I'd LOVE to see those people do that in real life at a pickup basketball game hahaha.
As a side note, what roles will you guys be maining in the new champ select? I'm thinking some variation of top/mid/jungle with malph/diana/nocturne.
Hopefully I can hit diamond this season by focusing on a small champ pool and never having to play bot lane.

I've been struggling at top as I feel it's a lot more passive now than I'm used to (havent seriously played for a couple of seasons), and I've been finding more success at support/jungle. Trying to find my place there again, and other than a Riven/Poppy snowball it hasn't been easy 
I feel like toplane has had a massive improvement in the course of last year. They revamped some old champs to make a "new class", juggernauts and they are pretty strong, albeit not really in the meta right now. At the moment it's carry toplaners and tanks that dominate top (Tahm Kench, a rare Maokai, Fiora, Poppy (would she be considered a tank or a juggernaut?), Lulu, Lissandra)
The usage of teleport has become a very defining factor of the toplaner and learning to use it effectively will get you very far in winning the game.
Last thing I'll say about the toxicity subject:
So as I've stated in previous posts and what the following discussion showed: people are different. Some don't care, other's want to punish, etc etc, it's just something that can't be resolved because you have not only dichotomous views, but there's also the less extreme ways of looking at it.
I'd actually be happy to have a thread talking about toxicity, the impacts of it, the resolutions made for it and the psychological aspect of it all, but I don't know if it would be that super productive hah, it'll just boil down to what the last two pages were all about.

I'm definitely kind of sad that all-around players are a bit punished by dynamic queue. I wish there is a separate ranked queue where everyone is randomly assigned to lanes. I think that'd be fun and a real test of overall skill.
That being said, I have something like a 10% winrate in mid / adc in the last two seasons, so maybe this is net positive for me. But I almost always got to jungle/top anyway, so it's annoying that now I will probably be up against actual jungle/top mains and not just people who were forced to fill those roles. My ADC friend is similarly sad that he won't get to lane against those "last pick Caitlyns".

This has the opposite effect for me in top lane and is a great boon.
"top lane mains" tend to play more carry orientated champs/melees which nasus has a much easier time with. I used to have to lane against a lot of annoying stuff like lulu/lissandra/malphite/etc utility picks from fillers.
But I saw from the brief dynamic queue that now I get to play against a lot of jax/wukong/irelia/etc. Super good for ranking up
I actually have something good to contribute to this forum for once, For anyone worried about the bug that claims you are silver regardless of what you placed last season affecting your mmr/placements it does not. I was unable to duo q for my placements but as soon as I finished them it gave me my proper MMR and I was able to resume normal play.
Minor annoyance.

Man I kinda want to play nasus now. What's your general build, runes, masteries, build path, strateg, etc?

Iceborn or Tirforce with tankyCDR. Same as it always was.

If you want legit nasus info for this season here it is, of course they are still adding stuff so this is what it optimal
Smilies & BBCode Add Poll Upload Image
atm.
first of all the mastery setup is correct but not the choices.
You want sorcery not the attack speed. with proper resetting with Q attack speed is like the most useless nasus stat ever. 2% on even just your ult is way better.
double edged sword is a must for top lane, its too strong not to take in a 1v1 scenario. (even in 1v2, you go even)
javascript:addUBB_selected('reply_area', 'b')
veteran's scars is complete garbage, runic armor is amazing as it affects your sustain and also abuse cases like visage + runic armor soraka healing. Or just think about how bad veteran's scars is. you get 120hp at 3k hp, yea its bad.
new build is pretty much iceborn gauntlet as soon as possible as its obscenely broken cost effectiveness wise. As soon as you get this item your lane opponent can just pack it in the lanes over. Gauntlet/visage is enough cd to cover you for what is necessary without taking bad items.
Merc treads rarely worth it anymore unless they are super magic heavy as you already get a free 15% tenacity.
steraks, titanic hydra, death's dance are some interesting offensive choices
deadman's plate pretty much mandatory after core items complete
no other MR item is worth getting except visage
enjoy
from the nasus thread. Couple of these things are a bit old though, I never go titanic anymore and steraks rarely.
Been going swift boots a lot now
and im too lazy to spell it all out so just look at the account ive done promos so far on http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/21885188#profile
My last game played is nasus and I make everything pretty easily readable in terms of masteries/runes

On the subject of toplane it will probably come as no surprise that I recommend Sion. Really safe and really strong, if your lane opponent lets you get away with rushing titanic you're carry material.

Interesting point. I wonder if you will see champion.gg winrates shift because of this fact. Certainly pick rates will.

Remember the days when Morello would ask if people were mentally handicapped when they posted stupid things on the lol forums? I think we all miss those days.
Also, sufficiency or whoever might know this: has anyone dicked around with applying, say, deep learning embedding techniques to learn an interesting dense representation of league team comps? If not, I could totally give that a shot this week.

So now that we've had a couple of weeks to toy around with Runic Echoes, what junglers do you guys think gain the most with it being a thing, compared to Runeglaive?
For me, I feel like it benefits Ekko, Fiddle, and maybe Kayle (I don't know if she can still even jungle anymore, or would want it over Devourer). I've tried it on Diana jungle and while it helps with clearing camps and poking a bit with the Q, the lack of burst from getting the Runeglaive proc at the same time as her third AA makes me feel like she isn't as good now as she was with Runeglaive.
It pushes you into wanting to go either tanky/bruiser with Diana by going Ryleis or Zhonyas > Abyssal > Void Staff > Rabadons, where-as when you had Runeglaive you'd go Zhonyas > Rabadons > Void and just burst a squishy down.
But then again, they've said before that Diana is in a weird spot, being a melee AP assassin, and while Ekko is sort of in a similar boat, with him you at least have the option of going tanky or full AP and still dealing damage thanks to his passive. With Diana, if you go full tank you're basically worthless.

It's better for any AP champion that didn't already love Runeglaive for being a budget Lichbane. I think Diana is the only champion that is seriously put out by the change.
