Loss Forgiven is when Riot knows that their internal server problems are affecting the way games end. When it begins to affect a lot of people, they will turn on the "loss forgiven" mode and losses will not be counted against you.

you can have some offensive weapons as a tank but you should have a ton of health and defense.
i would say 1 or two good offensive weapons something with lifesteal, and the rest health and defense and MR.
you are not there to destroy waves of enemies you are there to help the point of attack. shen does this job well with having taunt. more so if you are defending a tower. taunt the person and then the tower will help finish them off quickly.
as a tank you are there to take damage so the rest of your team can handle their other guys. you are there to counter their tank basically.
of course nothing can be done if the other person is feeding irelia. which is just stupid. more so when it means speeding her into a tri-force.
Just to put say it more clearly, Tanks are supposed to (generally) do one (or both) of two things: 1. Save/Protect your carry 2. Kill opponents Carry. Shen fits in role 1 very well with his ult and taunt, Rammus also does this well. Tanks like Malphite or Singed, on the other hand, are great examples of 2. Oh and every one of them should be able to initiate a fight, i.e. lots of hp and resistance.
Also, generally, tanks get items that can benefit your team (as in don't get thornmail on a tank) such as Randuins Omen or Frozen Heart, although, there aren't all that many MR items that help your team other than Aegis.
Generally with a tank, during teamfights, you want to run around and be as disruptive as possible and soak up as much damage as possible. Also a tank should know when to initiate and when not to.
I believe there needs to be a new term introduced. I have a problem with the term nerf being used in every situation.
here is why.
to me a nerf is a change that totally makes something useless. whether it was on accident or not. some characters do need adjustments.
The thing is, that's an unconventional connotation. It just means a negative change, it has no relation to intent. Thats why there are "stupid" nerfs, "unintentional nerfs", etc as well as "good nerfs".

"Virtue, Jacques, is an excellent thing. Both good people and wicked people speak highly of it..."
So i hit level 30 last week, i have not played much, mostly due to finals coming up (start tomorrow), and i have been playing mostly Bots instead of PVP of late so i have found my confidence in my skills lacking.
Add to that the fact i dont really own that many heroes (only 5 i believe the best being Malz) and the ones i own im not very good at yet (cant get Udyr right, my heimder is also rather pathetic), and im currently playing with no video card so my fps does not go above 14, so yeah i have no confidence about starting Ranked yet.
to whoever asked about the online LoL games, you can check Justin.tv type League of Legends and find a lot of live games to watch, yes a lot of them wont be good but it does present an opportunity to see if you can see the play mistakes and learn what NOT to build.

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die.
Tbh, I never get Aegis on my tanks. I love the item on support champions (aka Aura stackers) but the stats are just too low to be usefull on a tank, unfortunately.
Don't know if I can find the link anymore, but there was a great number crunching guide about defensive items on mobafire awhile back. Completely ignoring that your teammates recieve an aura bonus, Aegis is actually in the top 3 most cost efficient defensive items available - just in raw stats that it gives to you alone. The aura is just gravy. Pretty good!
Force of Nature was the least cost efficient defensive item on its own by a wide margin IIRC, although it of course is variable upon your max HP.

Own3d.tv is where the pro gaming sponsored streams are. These guys are usually okay in arranged team games but they really shine at solo queue. Basically these guys are pubstompers sponsored by pro gaming teams. They are pretty good.
Can't cleanse out of it. The only thing that can stop it is: Quick Silver Sash, Gangplank's Remove Scurvy, and Alistar's Ultimate. I think those are the only spells that remove suppression but I could have forgotten something.

I don't think Supression is that big of a deal. I mean, first of all, there's all of what... Two champions who can do it?
Second of all, you can QSS out of it (which you should probably build if you see a Malzahar anyways), and third of all, as long as you have a comptent team (or even one competent team mate) who can CC the guy suppressing you, the suppress ends and it's all good.
I think of suppresses as stuns with an easy escape: Your teammates coming to your rescue.

Yeah suppression isn't that much better than a stun, the only difference is the duration can't be reduced by Tenacity and even fewer things can get you out of it. Basically it was implemented for the first reason, so that people with an ult like Malzahar's (stun them and deal them damage during the duration) don't get their ult cut by 30% just by having Mercury Treads.
Its not worth building QSS if youre not going to be a guy that Malz targets with supress though. The carries are the ones who really need it.
I've gotten it on Singed to make initiating easier. It really depends what champion your playing, which, a lot of the time, the carry probably wants to get it.
The thing about supression is that in all cases, it's a 2 second stun - minimum - that is not affected by CC reduction, and usually has some ridiculously powerful side effect with it.
If you want to beat it, you need to buy a QSS; which, honestly, does not get bought. It's the perfect way to initiate a fight, or counter-initiate, or gank someone.

I think I might be done with this game soon. I've had two Jarvan's ragequit before creeps spawned, I just had a morde who didn't come into the game until halfway and then fed intentionally so this game would end. I've had Cho's stacking Zeals so they could feed faster, I've had Alistar doing the same.
It's not possible to win when your entire team is there just to make sure you lose.
If my graphics card could take it, I'd gb2sc2, because at least then I could win games without having a bunch of retards telling me how to do it and feeding themselves.
Below 1300 again. That's not even ELO anymore.

I've been taking a bit of a break from LoL to keep myself from burning out. That and RL has decided to give me hell.

I hate carries cause my tank tends to blow.
So I started playing Malzahar and just kill everything in sight.

i keep hearing that they are suppose to change him up a bit. i think they are going to take supress off of his ult.
*sorry supression is a stupid mechanic.

I think smart cast on him would help immensly.

They were talking about the change since before last patch IIRC. Talk about it sort of died out though.
yea from what i have seen it has.
I believe there needs to be a new term introduced. I have a problem with the term nerf being used in every situation.
here is why.
to me a nerf is a change that totally makes something useless. whether it was on accident or not. some characters do need adjustments.
malz problem is that he can 2 shot someone with two skills.
that is why

Gangplank's Remove Scurvy and Alistars Ultimate definitely remove suppression along with any other form of CC.
