Sion is pretty amusing to stomp "ELO Hell" with. 9 games so far, +100 points, and only 2 losses due to uncarriable feeders. It's funny to watch the ever-so-slight progression of skill per 50 points (from 850 to now 1100). If this keeps up, people in the 1500's should actually know how to last-hit!
Build Mejai's, Deathcap, get 20 stacks, the other team surrenders. Working out pretty well so far.

Sion's skill cape is pretty low, and does extremely high amounts of damage.
Annnnnd back under 1600 lol.
Reached 1624, played a game with an AP Yi that died 6 times and then quit. We held out for awhile but then our Corki got ganked and they pushed down two inhibs while he was gone. Next game the first thing in chat I said was, "Playing Urgot. I can also play Singed and Kat, but Urgot is my strongest champ. I don't have a jungler." Three picks later and we don't even have a tank. "rach u jungle?"
-_- "okay I will play my terrible Olaf."
And terrible it was.
Next game my client froze while I was changing masteries and I didn't have a champ, so I had to queue dodge.
I lost almost 50 points in less than an hour, lol.
Next game me and my friend get 2nd and 3rd picks, so there is nothing to stop us from playing Urgot+Anivia and carrying with 30 kills between the two of us. Then we get a game where their second pick takes Urgot and I have to play Singed as main tank while also duo-laning (which doesn't work btw), and HIS Urgot feeds off my teammates until he's 5-1 and soon he's taking half my health through my ultimate. He wasn't even built very well, he just ended up being 5 levels higher than everybody with 300 AD.
I think when you break 1600 you transition into a new bracket of players wherein you are the lowest and nobody wants to let you play your best champ. I guess I need to pick up a jungler I don't suck with.

Welcome to my world. Fun, isn't it? Maining an "unpopular" character makes your game to game experience into hell trying to deal with people who somehow get progressively less intelligent.
My ELO is the lowest its been since I started playing Ranked and really, I just don't care anymore. I'm experimenting with new characters now though, because I don't have any other games that can replace LoL

I'm not sure what a skill cape is, but it's certainly fun trying to figure out whether or not Sion will absolutely **** someone in lane 1v1 when your opponent is complete garbage. Also, morde is really annoying. Having lanes where no one does anything is boring.
ChoGath vs ChoGath is the worst thing ever (though this only happens in normals).I'm not sure what a skill cape is, but it's certainly fun trying to figure out whether or not Sion will absolutely **** someone in lane 1v1 when your opponent is complete garbage.

I am in the worst LoL slump ever. I won like 15 straight last week and then over the last three days or so I've lost 11 of my last 12. Sometimes I'm playing just fine but someone disconnects and sometimes I'm just not playing well, but somehow I just keep losing. Not a lot of fun.
anivia too?
And Vlad is getting nerfed too.
Fortunately my Xin Zhao and Cho core items weren't touched They keep getting better and better by virtue of the fact that they aren't really changed, while everyone else keeps getting nerfed, lol.

It was just a mana cost increase on her R and a decrease on the slow duration, iirc. Her damage is still intact

I honestly think riot's balance team has the least amount of foresight of any company i have ever encountered in my gaming career
Think I've played 5 ranked matches, every game there were at least two people with Heal/Clarity. Ashe with heal who rushed PD, Yii with Heal/Clarity, lane Olaf Heal, jungle WW with heal and no Smite, freaking ridiculous. I will not play another ranked game until I find someone reliable to duo queue with lol.
Grats on sticking to it though lol and gl getting into high elo.
Ok so what should they be changing and how should they change it?
Frolossus
Smash Lord
source?
guinsoo said not too long ago that anivia won't be nerfed for a long time
Latest patch notes, her R is getting an increased mana cost, and her slows have a shorter duration. Probably won't effect her dominance whatsoever.
Juno McGrath

its not that I can really say what should be changed but this change to survival/CDR is stupid, they should know its not going to hit tankyDps as hard as its going to hit support, which is already suffering.
and are they really going to nerf rammus until hes like, galio status?
Change/tweak her double damage scaling from being chilled so that she can't rush survivability while dealing similar damage output to another AP carry who's rushing AP. Instead of doing double damage from the get go, have it scale based on rank. 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 Or make her Q do less damage if the enemy is already chilled/more damage for starting off a combo with Q. Give her more incentive to start a fight with Q instead of easy mode Ult to whatever.
Maybe nerf the cast range of her ult. She doesn't need an AoE that size that can extend further than a Zilean Bomb. This would lessen her easy laning harassment a bit, and make her have to commit a bit more to team fights instead of being incredibly safe at a very long range while still being able to deal quite a bit of damage. The range on her other stuff is fine, but having a cast range that big for an AoE circle that slows is incredibly powerful in so many aspects. If they can address how safe the champ is, then they can better address any other problems.

any ranged champion knows that RE is coming when anivia tries to use it, anivia can't even land an E if she just touches them at the end of its range,
the only way to reliably land the combo is to go ER when your E is flying at them
doing so means that you have to get really close to them anyways.
her ratios are fine

You're the guy who doesn't see Anivia as a problem though. Any suggestion made, good or bad, will not be accepted by you lol.
Either way, I don't think hitting the mana useage was the best solution. Unless the mana cost is hugely increased, she's gonna be the same basically. Give her Catalyst/Golem/Both and whala you have the same champ.

They're nerfing all the wrong things about Vlad. Maybe the passive is right, but only a little bit. And then.. and I keep saying this... slightly nerf the HP gain on transfusion... and he'd be perfect.
There ARE characters who can shut down Vlad as is, though. I think Kassadin and Veigar both win against Vlad (and Annie can too) with any sort of mana regen.
I'm glad they're finally giving Anivia a nerf, though. IMO, she's been needing it for a long time.

He is a Vlad counter, especially w/ Ignite. But yeah, it always takes Riot too long to hit the problems at their source. They're just now hitting Vlad's AP/Health ratio and pool, and three patches to finally hit the powerball speed.
