I have a team of super oldschool diamond players who are doing 5s and we're 20-3, d5 going for challenger. All of us are playing our one-trick pony champs. Except our one-trick pony champs are Riven top, Amumu jungle, Rumble mid, and MF + Janna/Morgana bot.

We're THE one-trick pony comp. Curse of the Sad Equalizer Time is unstoppable right now.

Quest for diamond this season has begun in earnest. Been playing mostly liss top and ori mid, and been doing very well with it.

Turns out lissandra is like the perfect pick against most of the more common tops right now, absolutely slaughters them in lane with the strong harass, push, escape, juking and outplay potential. Took a while, but I think I'm finally back into a good mentality and playing well, which is good because I have less than 10 days left to hit diamond before I leave for a land of much higher ping and unfamiliar setups.

Which kind of tops? You can't exactly juke Alistar, and spamming Q for harass kinda fuels Maokai's sustain, for example. Also Irelia's typically the kind of champion who wrecks "immobile" mages (her second dash means if she plays it well your claw won't necessarily let you escape).

Ali gets wrecked by lissandra. He has no good way of farming outside of being inside the creep wave. On good ping you can Q him as he comes in for a headbutt. You'll get punted, but because of the slow you can catch up and Q him again with a couple of autos for good measure(need a couple levels in Q for CD to go down). Headbutt pulv is even worse because now he eats QW, and then another couple of Q's and a ton of autos as he leaves. The trading is so one sided I save ult for his ult unless I want to allin, in which case I ult first, but save W.

Maokai at worse simply becomes a farm lane. You push harder and do more damage so you have to abuse that fact early on to deny farm.

Only played against one irelia so far(won against like 4 jax though, fairly similar matchups), and she got wrecked. She has one gap closer that will let her get on top of you. W root is lower CD than bladesurge until later on, and irelia can't deal with pushing. Claw doesn't necessarily need to put you in a position to escape, it just needs to move you out of melee range after Irelia's blown Q so you can continue raining down harass because she can't close. Post 6 you have 3 ways of stopping irelia from hitting you.

I meant more in the sense that a good Irelia will abuse your low range to make you come close to low health minions to harass her, and then she'll use it to get in E range of you for no cost.

Not much feels as good as when you absolutely stomped in lane, and then proceed to hard carry.

I was playing ahri, and level 1 we did an invade. 3v3 fight at their red, Their Syndra wasn't their, our AD was farming. There was a long drawn out fight, and we sort of won it... no one died, but we forced them all back, and only I had to back from my team. Our Jungler and support took their red.

Problem was, I was Ahri, rocking Ignite and E level 1, and by the time I got to lane Syndra was a couple creeps from level 3. Because of her superior range, and level advantage (and my general being a noob at middle lane, Ahri in general, and not really knowing much about syndra except that she is a huge bully), I got absolutely cleaved in lane. Was losing in CS by a factor of 2 all game.

I didn't die or feed, but I definitely was getting zoned and outplayed.

I just built like full retard Magic Penetration, Dring -> Abyssal -> Sorc Shoes ->LW ->Liandries, shoved as hard as I could and ganked lanes all day.

Finished the game 12/1/7, dealing the most damage and in general carrying. Felt good man. That Syndra was so salty too, rofl.

SYNDRA: "I crushed you in lane noob!"

ME: "Yeah, good job in lane. You showed me. "

SYNDRA: "*EXPLETIVES!*"

Best way to carry from middle as a Jungle main; Make your Jungler hold mid all game and just pretend to be a jungler anyway and gank all the things. On a related note, holy shit Ahri has good ganks... If only she could clear the jungle...

I guess I've played one of the best support games I've did recently.

http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/1634647905/22203628

Advantage since first minutes till the last one, saving my AP/ADC 24/7, poking people, warding like a bitch, focusing objectives, telling my team when drake respawns, where to be careful, pinging smartly, damn.

I fucking love Lulu, such a good laner. Mastering him gives you probably 3 roles to play, top, mid and support, I guess I'll stick to him.

I just have to say that I love Ahri so much. When I first picked her up she seemed rather weak, but I kept going and she is so fucking rewarding to play. I'm usually more of a passive, safe, farm a lot player and that obv didnt work at all with Ahri. But then I started to being more and more aggresive and she is sooo much fun.
The first time I flashed charm and kill my opp at level 3 felt so amazing. And her R just feels like flying. Thx Rito for making champs like Ori, Zed, Ez and Ahri.

What are the three best Champions to get started in LoL? I have a few but I find myself getting absolutely destroyed by champions that can spam spells to harass like Brand or LeBlanc.

I like Alistar, Shen and Oriana but my friend said Shen sucks.

I'm already level 30 and such so I'm not exactly playing with first-timers.

edit: I don't enjoy right-click heros (ADCs?). How do you survive at mid vs heroes like Brand. My friend says I'm just bad and his abilities are easy to dodge but at level 2, he dishes out a lot so early on and that AOE is pretty massive.

Alladese. Wow everything else has been nerfed so much Malz is almost 60%?

Brand and Leblonk are lane bullies. It's hard to play vs them. Make the most of your ganks and be annoying how your hero can. Like Annie and Malz eat a lot of harass from them. I like negatron but most poeple try to get by w/o.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
