Why did they remove the Winter map? It looks so beautiful ;_;
They didn't have enough room in the client for assets for three maps... or at least they felt it unnecessarily bloated the client. And everyone was posting last halloween that they wanted to keep the Hallowing map. So they let the community vote and they decided to keep that one over the winter map. Although I don't remember the last time I saw that map so I'm assuming they kicked both out until their respective seasons.

i hate brand
i play a lot of ap chars (fate, veig, grag, rumble, swain, malz, etc) and i consider a score, like, 9-4 to be a pretty good game. brand is BY FAR the easiest champ to absolutely destroy with though and it's WAY TOO EASY TO DO SO.
i hate it most because pretty much all brand players think they're hot ****
don't understand how ANY brand can't get super duper fed, barring they're forced to lane against kass or something
ignore the mundo game btw, other team had 2 ignites and neither was ever on me, swag

brand's just dumb lol
i really don't know why riot doesn't make adjustments to champions like that
like, even just taking a bit of damage off one of his skills is better than doing nothing at all, when brand is obviously one of the most powerful champs in the game
i think they should balance with lots of small changes instead of doing the occasional big change
edit: speaking of mages, swain hasn't been free since MAY
i can't think of a non-stealth hero who's been deprived of free week status for so long
maybe riot knows how good he is and doesn't want people catching on? i sure don't

I love the Top Comments on that video.
And I got wrecked by a Swain last night, it was hilarious.
watching manly jarvan starting dblade!!
Sona is by no means the worst support.
Her + MF just ain't cool.
She's one of those supports who can actually handle an aggressive lane. Which says a lot because no one is playing anything bar taric and alistar.
Soraka + some ranged carries can handle the aggressive lanes better, but Sona has that slightly better affinity with the 550 ranged carries (like Kog or Cait with Soraka can handle most taric/alistar + other ranged carries).
Oh, I've like never won against a Kog + Sona lane. ****'s amazing.

zilean was banned like every single game at ign
Zilean mid is extremely strong, and his ult favours the assassin meta better than ranged carry bot meta (which if a ranged carry is gonna die, he's probably gonna die again).

he left, then came back, then rewinded time so he came back earlier
If a ranged carry dies, bringing him back is extremely powerful. IEM China Vayne + Yorick easily attests to that. The only time your scenario is true (@ Shaya) is if:
1. Team was already getting ***** in that fight, in which case you probably will lose the fight regardless (Mumu ults in, Sona ults, Vayne/Akali/Brand burst you down).
2. Carry was out of position to where he was a free kill to begin with.
Otherwise no, it's not clear that reviving a carry surely means they die again right off the bat.
If their team CAN'T get a strong initiation on you and has to get through multiple members of the team to get at the carry/eat all that damage to make sure they die and you get to bring them back, congrats you've made that carry incredibly powerful.

zilean left? wtf?
He was first pick/ban for quite a long while. I mean that he left a perceived top tier-dom.
And DMG, how much stronger is zilean ulting akali over most other ranged carries?
For the most part, an assassin can go in, blow his load, die (but have a zilean ult), and when he respawns is either able to blow his load again or has a get away of some sort.
Ranged carry's steroids are likely still on cd, a lot of ranged carries have escapes, but not many are anywhere near as powerful as an assassin's disruption/get away abilities.
Also for the love of ****ing god, riot's client has stopped putting your lol screen on top when its your turn to pick a champion...
that's the second time I've gone into a game with random now -.-

i KNEW it wasn't just me!
i've randomed like 4 times so far.
reeeeeeally annoying -_-
i might make a bug report or something
Question wasn't about whether ulting carry or assassin was stronger, but that getting your carry back is pretty powerful and they aren't dead weight because "they'll just die again" after you ult. Even given your scenario, the assassin is more likely to die or at the very least get "swarmed" than the ranged carry since doing their job naturally requires them to be closer to the enemy team. Akali diving in and getting revived is a LOT more likely to be swarmed by the enemy team than the Ashe sitting at the back being babysit.
Either way, it would be silly to assume that reviving a ranged carry in reasonable circumstances will be a waste because they will just completely blow up again on spot.

I don't think I said otherwise.
But if a ranged carry is grossly out of position to instantly die at the start of a fight...
All I'm saying is, that while you will always ult your carry, his ult has a lot better affinity with melee rapers, as they are likely to be in the line of fire a lot more often than a ranged carry. A ranged carry who is in the line of fire is out of position (most of the time, I know an ezreal, karthus, lux and nocturne could really make any position for a ranged carry silly).
Contrast soraka or janna's ult to zilean in terms of saving a carry. Janna's isn't about saving your melee assassin. Soraka's is also strong but using it for only one person can be a waste (her non ult heal is quite strong though, but she can often put herself in a bad position for wanting to keep in range of her melee), and it likely won't save a melee who just blew up 2-3 people and did their part so they can do their part again in 10 seconds.

I must ask, after my last game.... do any of you remember a game where you finished your first full item in a ridiculously fast time?
I just got a 12:30 complete Trin Force with boots as Wukong. The incompetency of the opposing lane was astounding... and beautiful.

Well, I once farmed a 14 minute death cap with malzahar (with boots)
Without any kills or assists,
nor towers taken
nor any dragons taken either.
I counted a missed creep during that entire time. Yes, singular.
