1460 elo teemo weeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The flaming is more reasonable these days.
Lately I feel useless in my teams though. I am totally out of my depth at this level haha. My only strength is common sense.

I tried out Anivia yesterday and she was pretty fun.
Lately I have been struggling between knowing when to leave mid lane and when to stay. I think my farming has improved overall where I can usually keep or outpace the solo I'm laning against. But I feel I just don't know when to use an advantage when I have one.
I know for the most part it will just take experience and game time. But does anyone have any game sense thoughts?
I feel that if I get say two mid kills I feel like I should be in a commanding lead and can start snowballing a team at that point providing the other lanes did not lose. But that's often not the case.
Just rambling but yeah.

Ok... Bilgewater Swain goes on sale this weekend so I think I'm picking him up. We need to do a pirate-themed team this weekend. Gangplank, Miss Fortune, Bilgewater Swain, Bilgewater Katarina and for a tank... umm... Surfer Singed!
Anyone down?

We can't be having anyone be happy now can we? Mogwai, I suggest you change your avatar immediately, probably to a lesser picture of Sion. That'll so this Treelub fellow.Treelub (the guy who drew the Sion that Mogwai is using as his avatar) is my brother. He will be ecstatic to see you using the drawing

Why do people say Kog isn't as good a carry anymore? I saw one in my last game build nothing but offense and ****. I think part of it might have been that they had a superior tank (Malphite > Amumu) and melee DPS (Trynd > Mundo, it was really bad in late game) but it still felt like Kog is still a great carry.

Guys, I just don't understand why I lose games. I'm map aware 99% of the time, I buy wards, I push lanes, and I play my role in team fights, and yet...I keep losing. It scares me because I'm now in the 1000 bracket and I know that I'm better than that It's just so many things...
For one, it's hard to fill the missing role when we're missing 2 or 3 of them. Then there's people who don't actually know how to play their roles in the actual game, meaning that even if I do mine right I still can't win because they don't do theirs right.
I know I'm not this bad of a player...and yet here I am. Maybe I am...ugh

I really don't know what other advise to give you. Elo isn't perfect for a team game, but it's not bad enough that'll you'll stray more than say 100-200 Elo from where you belong unless you actively try to tank it. You need to accept that you don't understand the game as well as you think you do and try to grow off of that.

Cool link. I think I have a similar style of play to 5hitcombo. I readily admit my skill level is lower than others. But I have common sense.
I think the most useful thing is to stop blaming others when you lose. I went down to 900 elo at one point. I have steadily climbed to 1460 elo and I'm still rising. You need to view the situation in a constructive manner; what could you have done to prevent a bad event? Until you do so, you cannot best the opposition. Yes, you will get impossible matches sometimes. But you have more influence than you realise.
I've never jungled, I don't buy wards and I don't like to play carries. I just have good strategy. Common sense > skill.

IMO, this is the most important quote in the entire thread:
"The best way to convince people to do things is to let them figure it out for themselves by placing all the evidence in front of them. If you ward the map well and end up acing them late in the game when baron is up, you can usually convince your team to baron with a well-placed ping. If you can't, you haven't made it obvious enough that it's the correct thing to do, OR MAYBE IT'S NOT. I go by the veto system in my games regardless of who I'm playing with. I will attempt to call the shots and if everyone agrees with me we go and do it, but if two or more people disagree I immediately let them make the decision for me. Having two people fight for dominance on a team is dumb and is worse than doing the wrong thing. If you have the whole team doing one thing, even if it's dumb, it's better than half the team doing the right thing and half the team doing the dumb thing BECAUSE AT LEAST YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHTS."

finally discovered how to keep neutrals aggro'd to shacos jitbs
when you pull them into your boxes you need to wait for the fear to end before you start attacking

what's a good first rune page for casters / ap damage champs? i mostly play lux morg kennen annie akali and i'd rather have a rune page for them then my AD Champs.

mapen marks health quints
mana per 5/level blues and yellows for the mana users
i disagree actually, especially for building a starting set of runes.
ideally you want cdr or ap/level on blues IMO, but flat MRes blue are hands down the best bang for your buck rune in the game. 205 apiece and at least top 3 glyph choice on every character's page IMO.

cdr boots more then make up for flat cdr runes
maybe its cause i play anivia i just have a mana per 5 preference
Generic AP page choices
MPen Marks
Mana regen/Lvl Seals (for non mana user, Flat Armor/Energy/suitable replacement)
AP/Lvl Glyphs (CDR also a common option)
Flat AP/Magic Pen Quints
That kind of stuff covers casters in a broad sense. Some champs you might want a more specialized runeset, maybe more AP or more mana regen or CDR, etc etc. But you can't go wrong if you focus on AP, Magic Pen, and Scaling Mana Regen most of the time.

I just went this and it was pretty fun. Then I went to check Azen's recent games because I'm a stalker like that and he played AD Kennen in two ranked going: (most likely out of order)
Oh and thanks guys about the info. I've got magic pen reds so far. :/ Saving saving saving for the rest. (probably going AP / lvl blues and god knows what yellows)

Imo, if you're **** at a game you can't judge whether it has competitive merit or not.
