I was JUST about to post this. Played in a 5 v 5 Soraka vs Zyra game, man it was great.

Remind me, when and how does Leona lose a lane or a game? I just played her and all I did was all-in anything in range over and over. Who needs skill when you can have results basically by mashing buttons?

Their Trynd was platinum too while for that we get one silver player (?). Sure he's fed but that doesn't change anything, flash E his ass.

Support leona you mean (since she really can't go anywhere else)? She loses against poke lanes (cait/ez+nid/zyra/lux/lulu) because both you and the adc will always be at a significant HP disadvantage. Peelers like thresh, janna, nami, lulu or alistar can also cockblock her all-ins. Nami and ali can also heal which puts leona's side of the lane at a disadvantage. Pair them with an adc with a dash and leona becomes far less threatening in lane. Don't pick Soraka, Taric or anyone with worse/less reliable CC against her, an exception to this is nid and maybe gangplank (supposedly people do play him as a support, not sure if not just in wood league though) because she sucks against lane attrition from harass (the same thing which makes her a shitty jungler and a shitty solo laner).

Slippery adcs like corki, ez, graves and cait (to an extent) are difficult to play against as Leona, especially if paired with a peeler who can aid their escape further.

Still she's quite good against when paired with adcs with some burst or CC. Graves, Vayne, Dravennnn, Varus, Corki, MF, Ashe, Quinn (do people even use her as an adc?) are probably her better lane partners. She doesn't do well with the crappier early game adcs like kog, twitch or trist.

I'm beyond reason, for I can't get rid of cuntlyn. Yes, supporting the absolute worst adc in the game with no kill pressure but no mid or late game either, why, that's why I pick Blitz and Thresh. So I pick Zilean, because then I get to be fucking shit too and not even try, no defensive runes or masteries because all we do anyway is poke and watch them sustain it back so whatever I'm gonna hide behind cuntlyn so she can suck a dick.

Luckily the enemies are highly derp and chase after zilean ulted J4, Orianna etc. and also think their strictly-melee champs get to chase when I'm spamming slow on them. And bombs. Yup, it's nice to win when you deserve to lose after you've been trolled the entire day.

I tried another approach. "I play Blitz. If you pick caitlyn I commit seppuku." Got corki, we got a bunch of kills done, got to win pretty easily. Man it's nice when people play ad carries that have any merits at all.

I weep each time people pick Cait when sth like Leona/Thresh is already picked (or the other way around). It always backfires so goddamn horribly.

Got to Gold I last week, figured I might as well try getting to plat before the end of the season, yeah, no. Five horrible with insufferable teammates games in a row were enough to make me reconsider this decision.

Train up Soraka if you like support. She counters all the popular ones in high ranks (Thresh, Leona, etc.) which rely on combos using silence. Infinitely useful late-game shutting down mid-aps in teamfights. Took me to Plat I on China LoL.

Jinx looks like ODing on ecstasy on that loading screen. Not surprising considering that drugs are the only explanation why anyone could think that making a music video for her release was a good idea, especially in the form it took. When I though the music and lyrics in recent Sonic games were absolute cheese, Riot tries to surpass Sega.

Red pot ad nidalee vs. chogath
commence retardpush on level 1
spam laugh, sure you can AA me that's so cute, I don't give a fuck, spam laugh and techno music
yeah sure you can jump around me in your puny cat form, I don't need my skillshots anyway i'm just autoing and spamming L and sometimes eating you
oh now you commence your "poke" game with gragas and nidalee, I don't give a shit about dodging those either or blitz hooks

Man, chogath is so amazing. You get away with this shit amazingly often.

Jinx, dunno, I'm not feeling like buying another ADC at this point, I'm already very disappointed on Lucian, I guess I stick with Draven. Besides Jinx looks too stupid to play, just like Vi, just like Caitlyn. What's up with ugly ass piltover hookers?

Her powerfists make Warhammer 40k look subtle.

Goddamnit how do you deal with drawing full jungler attention as Viktor, I feel so stupid zoning Jizz when "Oh, here Nocturne comes - again - from some angle, good thing he's fast enough to get through my crap stun and has a spell shield to boot". Even when I survive the only thin I have accomplished is draw aggression off from elsewhere and a small cs lead.

I think I'm gonna use MS quints instead of the MPen quints, that worked for Huekaiser and Brand so perhaps it works for Viktor too.

YES! Gold 1 with ES #1 KAISER :D
Never before seen a Fizz unable to cs on his level 2, get FB:D without a gank and then be two levels behind, then cry to team.

Piltover hookers - because strong wyminz is a must in vidya games from the land of the feminazi and the home of the derp.

Also: Is it just me or does Jinx's rocket launcher seem powerful as all hell? Literally no mana cost for a full on AOE nuke that scales with all of your AD... INCLUDING CRITS! It's like Tristana's last hits only magnified a million times.

Not to mention that it gives her the range of a level 18 Tristana when maxed (also known as "at level 9")
Apparently the splash damage works with Runaan's Hurricane too.

On the other hand, having 3 stacks on the minigun gives her the highest attack speed of any champ at level 18 with no AS items or AS buff abilities active.

do you guys think the q will be nerfed yes/no

"OMG WHY YOU BAN JINX SHE MY MAIN"

She's been out for a day.

"I PRO WITH HER PROMIZ"

20 minutes and 20 deaths later

"FUCK OUR JUNGLER BG"

New champs in a nutshell.

"OMG I REPORT YOU"

I witnessed Chaox score back to back Pentas on his first game ever with Jinx. Of course she's OP, go look at the last 20 champions released and look at how every single one of them has performed well in the competitive scene (minus Quinn LOL).

Her kit's pretty awesome, I just wish I don't fight her because I hate how everything is FOTM in this game nowadays. Then again the FOTM sheeps make Riot money...
