Darius is an amazing champion. I've never known any other champion so good at pulling a team that struggled in lane back into the game during the midgame.

It isn't a perfect, but damn I came close to it in this ARAM. Died right before the final push to a chain of teemo shrooms as I was running for the heal :/

Yay someone else who appreciates Darius as much as I do!

But yes I concur, Darius's midgame has the potential to be crazy. Just those timings when he gets a couple of items are what can really give him an insane power spike.

Wasn't me, but when the countdown started and I realised our line-up was Blitz-Corki-Vi-Riven-Ori against Ahri-Malphite-Shyvana-Leona-Cait, there was this "welp, teamfights ain't gonna be fun" vibe starting.
In the end it took their Malphite pretty long to group up and I was able (as Vi) to get several double kills and drakes for our bot lane, while Riven kept us in farm despite receiving a bunch of attention and dying. We started throwing by going too ham near their inhib tower (especially me, as I chased too much on boots1 (needed someone tanky vs their line-up and they were almost full magic damage so I delayed Tabi for very long, made me unable to catch up but I kept trying).

Then they try an ill-advised Nashor while Shyvana was bot and coming, I pinged her and told people we had time to stop, Riven arrived first, manned it up one step more and went 1v4, killing Leona and having Malph waste his ult for only her. This part was huge (the last teamfight he flanked us and got a 3-man ult on the backline), and allowed us to clean house after Riven died, with Shyvana on the side unable to flank properly. We proceeded to win the game.

I have no idea how we'd have went about taking that naked inhib hadn't they pulled a NA, against such a comp.

Had a good run yesterday. In one game, I lost my bot lane as Fiddlesticks support, and our mid lane lost to Fizz and started snowballing him. But we turned it around because our Nasus top was a total beast, and even a full build Fizz (that neglects QSS) is helpless when feared and then one-shotted by Nasus.

Yaaaaay gooooold!
Was clamped at 90LP for 2 weeks.. made and won my promos... Too happy.
Funniest thing was: Carried hard first game, lose two unlosable games, carry hard fourth game, then get carried UBER hard 5th game (I was 0/2/1 at 20 min. ff. while ez was legendary)

Time to give up league for a month. GG folks.

7-0 as Lucian the last 7 ranked games, with a score average of like 12-4, including a Penta and two Quadras.

More importantly, I've recruited 7 people from these games to join the Church of Lucian. Believers are coming.

Lucian is 100% terror. So slippery. Such damage.

Also, AP Lucian is a thing. Confirmed on Soniv stream.

Last nigiht I lost 3 games in a row and got demoted from plat 1 to plat 2.

Immediately after demotion I went on a 7 game winstreak and now I proudly sit at 17 lp in plat 1 'cause clamping is the worst thing ever.

Lucian is definitely totally awesome. I've been picking him every time I see an opposing Jinx/Vayne/Trist/Sivir/other ADs with difficult laning phases and its a free win in lane with almost any support. Just have to turn it into a victory, but I have DESTROYED my lane almost every game without fail. He's super super good at it, a blind monkey could do this.

Oh, I'm sure you were intentionally incorrect in some area or another. My troll sense is never off.

finally gold 1
6 days to get plat
THE STRUGGLE BEGINS

also, 5 lissandra wins in a row and 7 of 8 lissandra wins in last 10 games. with the other strong mids nerfed i think she's a serious contender for best mid/champ in the game
