    I'm like the exact opposite. My main is ADC followed up by jungler. ADC is incredibly fun because if played right, there's basically no other champ that I can't take. If I get a good support too, it's amazing. I can't tell you the number of times I've got a support who runs in to initiate/attack (not just harass, but to actually attack) and then when I come to help him, he totally bails and leaves me standing there facing both of them to die. Not saying that every time something goes wrong it's the supports fault, I make mistakes too, but if you don't get a decent support the ADC is pretty much screwed. Jungle is so much fun because I love ganking xD . Nothing like just walking up as Warwick, ulting them, landing a few hits to kill and walking away after :grin: . From my own experience as a support, that role is insanely difficult. I'm trying to practice it more, but I'm just totally awful at it lol. I've tried Taric, Malphite, Zilean, etc and I just don't seem to have the knack for it =/

    So true! I know the solution, I'll support, you ADC. We win bot lane! :grin: :grin:

    Either way, bot lane is incredibly volatile, it depends on the support + adc chemistry for both teams. I usually try to duo or go in with a premade team. My favorite ADC to play is Vayne/Corki and I'm dying to get Quinn (Only 2k more IP!!!!). But my favorite ADC's to support are Vaynes and MFs, they work well with Lulu/Taric/Sona :grin:

    I'm also a mid laner. :slight_smile:
    I like to think I'm versatile but my weak point is definitely bruisers. I can play a good Irelia and Olaf but otherwise, AP bruisers are what I feel most comfortable doing.

    If you guys manage to try out that combo, include me! Haha.

    I'd be down too, though I'm not a great top/jungle. All the more reason to practice, right?

    I really didn't like the new ping system at first, but I'm using it more and more lately. I find it actually quite helpful.

    Let's get a 5 man team going! I'd be so down for that!

    edit: There are 4 of us, so anyone else who wants to join should! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I know there are a bunch of people on here who play League, some less active than others. I've got about 5 or so ECers added on League. I'm terrible for starting up games and inviting people so I hardly ever play with you guys. But if you invite me I'll play :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Also, has anyone else been noticing Tristana around a lot more lately? I just started getting into her a few weeks back, but I love her with the Blade of the Ruined King remake.

    Funny you should say that because lately a lot of under used champions are showing up like xerath I used to never seen him but now I see him played every 6 or 7 games.

    Regi from TSM used Xerath recently I believe. Didn't watch but overheard. I might be misinformed. But usually people start playing certain champs when they see the professionals.
    As for blade of the ruined king; yeah, it's OP right now haha. A lot of people are using it and its become the flavor of the month because of how well it works.

    Well I'm on pretty much everyday after 1 PM Pacific time. I'll let you know my name and we'll see what happens. :slight_smile:
    I don't mind playing top or jungle if we do. If you'd rather mid that is Budder.

    I watched a game this past weekend on LCS NA with TSM vs Curse and they banned Xerath! 0.0 Never thought I'd see the day someone banned XERATH! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    His range is amazing haha. With only Ionian boots+Athene's Unholy Grail, you get 35% cooldown reduction which is only 5% from the max. With masteries, you can get 4 of that 5%.
    Anyways, his range is great, his spells hit hard, he can cast his AoE ult 3 times, his stun can be a 3-4 second cool down, and he gets armor the more AP he gets, which helps against some of the bruisers that are sent mid lane often now. He's a beast. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Just played against an Irelia mid as Ahri... was tough, but fun. She had more kills but I kept up with farm, so lategame I ended 10/2/something. I've been having a lot of really good games with Ahri lately after not having played her for so long. I just need to remember to get my charm off before I combo rather than stick it in with the rest of my button-mash :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    ALSO, I finally learned that having wards is great. I mean, I know wards are great, but when I wasn't support (or even jungle) I'd never buy them unless nobody else was. Now I almost always grab one or two wards when I go back to base, it's just sooooo useful. I find the amount of times it nets me kills or saves me deaths far offsets the price of buying wards all the time (or at least breaks even).

    @Clown, doesn't matter much to me if I play mid or not. If it's a serious game, sure, just because I think I'm a far better mid than anything else... I play it most and have the most selection for that lane, so I can better fit team comp that way. But if it's like blind pick normals or something for fun, then I'll go wherever :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Trying to learn a new champ is so annoying. I go into a bot game to practice, instantly call the role I want and choose my champ (without locking in). Then thirty seconds later a person who has said nothing just locks in with someone for the role I called. Now I get to choose between wasting thirty minutes playing a match that will be absolutely useless to me because I'm not practicing the champ I want or leave and get banned for queue for five minutes...this has seriously happened the last three times I've tried to go into a bot match -.-

    The other day I played a match as Kog adc with Garen as my support. It surprisingly worked really well, and we completely dominated our lane. I think it worked because he could pretty much tank both of their attacks which always gave us time to kill them both :slight_smile:

    So apparently, I can smash games and not get any teamwork honor...

    Also, apparently criticizing people for completely failing to participate in the game warrants "stfu."

    I didn't realise people actually cared about honour.

    I don't really care about it. I just like having the little green ribbon for "teamwork honor" next to mine because I like the color green :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I finally found a support that I can actually play! :grin:
    I unlocked Lux a few days ago in an attempt to find a playable support, and she turned out better than I could have imagined. I think it works for me because instead of building her like a typical support build, I just kind of still make her an AP carry kind of build. So I'm like a very aggressive support, but a support nonetheless :grin: . I've noticed that I'm decently strong early, fairly weak mid but awesome at end game. I'm just so happy I actually found a champ that I can work with as support-ish :slight_smile:
