I still maintain a few things
1. For every game, there's a build that would be optimal for him. And in most cases, those optimal builds counter the weaknesses the enemy would usually exploit against the guy, while still allowing his general strengths to shine.
2. Prep time shaco is ****.
3. Pantheon's 1:1 AP ratio W is awesome.
He IS great, but too HARD to do GREAT with!

You know how many times shaco has been nerfed in those 5 months? lol.
I can list them if you want.

I've lost 9 out of 10 now. I started 6-0 with Vayne on bot lane against a really solid teemo/veig combo..but my malzahar mid went 1-12. and a 0-9 karma in top lane.
I don't understand how matchmaking works. That malz wasn't even level 30. The only non-30 in the match. Why would it match him with us? I have almost 1000 unranked games. It should know we don't belong together.
I would rather wait 3x as long for a good matchup than get paired into losing games like that. I should have a chance to win my games. 7 straight games that I had zero chance to win. If you put hotshotgg in my shoes in these 7 games he'd come away with 7 losses. That's just silly.

Normal matchmaking is pretty wonky, and honestly you need to be at like 100+ wins over losses to start even getting decent people to play with (and even then you get some baddies).
Starks + GA shaco with some whatever... good times... good times.
Aura Shaco. GA Sunfire Madreds Starks Boots etc. Enjoy your win.
Dastrn: Duo with someone to get to 1400. IMO that's the hardest grind from the perspective of people playing ********. Once you hit 1400, the game becomes noticeably less filled with feeders and deliberate AFK/nonsense.

The Amumu had 25 assists... and everyone on both teams died a lot. Seems to me like he did fine. He died the most on your team, meaning they were focusing him, meaning the DPS went untouched. If anything you should be congratulating the guy (unless he was getting picked by himself or refusing to initiate or something).
DanGR - Elementz put Nidalee in Tier 1... get ready for some nerfs

No he was horrible. He would bandage toss into a 1v4 with half health and no mana and die by himself when we were stuck behind a wall. I think his entire plan was to land bandage tosses, with no regard for what happened next.The Amumu had 25 assists... and everyone on both teams died a lot. Seems to me like he did fine.

I hate when people say "your bad because you went 0/8 with a tank bleh bleh bleh"
Tanks dont get kills. dont use **** like that as reasoning.

She's just really strong in the Euro style of play where they like to have two strong AP solos (as she's one of the strongest). She can pretty much permapush and never die, while providing significant pocket heals and steroids to the DPS of the team.
They've wanted to nerf her lane sustainability for a while now... it would just be amusing if this were to be what sent them over the edge, lol.
Oh, the solo queue hard carry yourself to high ELO list and not draft. That makes more sense.
EDIT: Draft too?
Goddamn, I'm just not seeing it.
EDIT2: I guess I don't see it because I've only been playing anti-mages recently and I eat Nidalee for breakfast as Kassadin.

No, I'm using the "i watched you play for 45 minute and you were horrible the entire time" reasoning.
To be fair with as much DPS as Vayne and Kass were likely doing, one or two ticks of Amumu's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA probably landed him quite a few assists.

People are so unfair to people who play tanks.
Well, as a primarily tank player... I've seen many many people who try to play tanks that are terrible at initiation and/or covering their carries.
However on the whole from the community they do get little love, it is true. It's why I prefer to play with a group of people I know.

<333333 you PX. Jarmander is never the same when it isn't you.
Eh. Shifts in champions and in the overall metagame have been very kind to her. For example, before people didn't really care about her laning because you had ******s like Gragas and Malphite and Sion and MF/Old Pantheon/etc running around. Or sustained wise people like Irelia and Vlad being pricks. A LOT of characters that gave her trouble in lane have been nerfed quite a bit, items that made other people retardedly sustainable or tanky got nerfed (locket and HoG the culprits, Banshee to a smaller extend), etc. Roaming got popular, which favored throwing champs up top that were good at escaping/that could be safe.
Is she tier 1 quality? Idk. But it wouldn't be a stretch to see her look better after the wave of nerfs to other champs.
Yeah they haven't touched her laning, and I don't blame them when you had stuff like sion and Pantheon running around lol.
Disagree except potentially in the case of Alistar. Chogath has delay, Xin has the 3 hit requirement and it's single target while also not giving him a huge nuke, Malphite's is pretty fair since he has to use an ult for it, etc. Alistar would be an exception since his Knockup is AoE, nuke, instant, and also allows him to further reposition you to his desired location. Along with chaining headbutt to pulverize. Even for that exception... idk.

starting a fight against a team with 60-70% health is way better.

or you can poke them to below 70% with Q before the teamfight and not waste any pre-death DPS by channeling. plus there's no risk of anything canceling it when you're dead.
