4-3. Started 4-1, got too excited, dropped a couple games (one mostly my teammates, one mostly my fault). Gotta collect myself and go back in with a level head.
I actually managed to solo Baron with Darius some time before he got nerfed. Should be easier now if he really did get nerfed.
EDIT: Quite recently I managed to solo Baron with Fiddlesticks. Still not easy, I say; that was a 35-minute something mark...
EDIT 2: And finally managed to solo Baron with Nunu, this time without the mutual kill. That makes it my sixth Baron solo. Whee?
Also, they've taken out Deathfire Grasp from the game. Well, what do you think about this? I personally think... well, it's never my main item anyway, even when playing AP, plus, dear Rylai's Scepter got an upgrade, so dunno... not much of a loss...
well, this thread is a bit of a tomb. How's everyone doing in ranked? I did pretty poorly in my placements (4-6), got placed into gold 1, and then spent the next ~50 games working my way back into platinum. I think I failed some 4 promotion series before I finally got back in.
But seriously, those promotion series are just

currently at 1-5 (im doing mostly one game a day due to internship...), and yes it is hell... i think its because i generally start good and then all of the sudden... death... like seriously top/mid/jungle are regularly feeding so much in my games that me stalling/winning bot lane does nothing for the team...

Went 8-2 to get into Gold 1, then went 5-0 to get to promotions. Proceed to lose 5 games in a row, mostly due to bot lanes dying multiple times early and tilting while I'm top and can't do much about it. Lane went well every game, but things just fell apart and I dropped out of my series and am currently fighting my way back up. x.x
Went 8-2 in placements. Got placed in G1, one higher than my end of last season. >_> Won 5 games in a row to qualify for my series after losing a 3rd game after placements, 13-3 going into promos, "carry factor" kicks in, it's me and a few very low plats with some lower tiered golds against plat 1s and diamond 5s for the first two games, and I lose 5 games in a row after consistently doing well in lane. Not going to say I played perfectly, but it was a combination of frustrating factors like my bot lane dying at 5 minutes when I can't help in top lane, or all 3 of my lanes losing by the time I hit 6 as Vi, even though I successfully 1v1 killed Rek'sai at 3 minutes and she hasn't gotten a gank off. Now bounced back to 50 lp and gonna try and make the climb up again soon, but it was just so damn heartbreaking. Also, 8-2 with Top Annie this season.
3-5 somehow... which goes to show me that A) the last fails were not entirely my fault, and B) i can win if i get players that are at least mature enough to be toilet trained...

Haven't played ranked, but I've been messing around in normal draft. Has anyone tried bruiser-Fizz top yet? With the change to his W, his trades top are pretty solid. He reminds me of a squishier, more slippery Irelia or Jax. Still trying to figure out runes/masteries for him, but it seems to be a lot better than trying to force him to work as an AP now.
So, new champ... wish i could get excited but considering i might be quitting LoL altogether soon im not sure how much i look forward to anything anymore (mostly because i dont want to redo everything once i move from Garena PH to NA servers... sigh...)

Just made gold 1 again, in my 6th promo series attempt. Ran into a random rioter in the series, too
I'm on a jinx kick, winning a ridiculous number of games with her. Cassiopeia is also crazy strong, by the way - picked her up while waiting for the balance team to give Azir back.
1: Should I do promos now or wait later ? I don't know if the trolls are gone for now.
2. Darius is extremely powerful right now. He's replaced Trynd as my go to top laner. Now before you say ranged champions destroy him, I will say that I've destroyed Lissandra and Quinn easily. Lissandra barely does any damage to me because I rush Hexdrinker and Merc Treads. MS quints are really powerful against Quinn. Easiest matchup I've encountered so far is Riven. Kennen is impossible though.
3. Poppy jungle is broken. I solo'd dragon at level 1. This shouldn't exist. I think Shaco and Fiddle might be capable of doing it again as well. Will test for proof. What is the chance of me getting invaded at dragon or spotted ?
4. Jungle Kayle is cancer. This needs to be nerfed so hard. With Nashor's, Runnans and Devourer it becomes so painful to fight against. Her AS is nuts.
Speaking as a long-time player, like launch... if Kayle is jungling and she is doing it well, that should be a good thing. Kayle is one those champs since the game was released that has always had a problem of finding a home. Is she a mid-laner? A support for bottom lane? A solo topper? So when it turns out she is a great jungler now I would say don't nerf her.
I am still annoyed that Azir was nerfed the way he was. It shouldn't have been both the range of his soldiers on his W and the damage on his Q. One or the other would have made him not as bad a lane bully but both makes his early game atrocious. Instead of before where you just put a W down that could easily reach an entire minion wave now you have to W+Q to poke and reach part of a minion wave. Plus your more likely to just keep a soldier up behind you just so you can dash away during the early game because your poke is atrocious and needs a buff.
Like if his W was nerfed but the damage on his Q was not nerfed he would be similar to Kassadin who can still hurt but is more CQC. Likewise if they nerfed the damage on his Q and not the range on his W he would still have that longer range to poke but his damage is much more subdued. In fact the best buff for both worlds for his W would have been to have it so Rank 1 your W has a range of 325 and that having 5 ranks in it was 400 Range.
Besides it feels like an overreaction from RIOT because they nerfed the only skill point that Azir is forced to put a point into at first level as his Q and E are off limits because they require your W. For normal champs like Graves for instance its not as bad if they nerfed a few abilities and buffed a few, yet with Azir? Its basically nerfing Azir's bread and butter which takes up all of his Q-W-E and Half of his Passive as he is one of those champs that has a skill kit that has huge amount of synergy with itself and is highly dependent on this synergy, aside from his ultimate but its good and is the only rankable ability that doesn't interact with the soldiers at all.

Looking forward to the tank Jungler patch.

Game 1 was amazing. I didn't think that TSM would come back
Game 2 and 3 were pretty much pubstomps
