Well that's okay then :D

Anyway, john.
my elo has been pretty **** for most of this season, I got up to a high of about 1580 and have been as low as 1190.

2-3 days ago talking to Tom + general back of my mind thinking about how I mustn't be playing very well + go for stupid things when I know its dangerous and reflected a bit, respecting the enemy team's capabilities is a phenomenal train of thought. About two days ago I said "I wanted to be back to 1500 by tonight", while I didn't slave through that many games in one sitting, I did my best to really only make plays based on real information available to me and went from 1390-1500 in straight victories - I know that I was lucky not to have an intentional feeder / leaver, but I did deal with purposeful troll picks and a few over zealous ragers.

Because I've played close to a quadrillion games, I've reflected on why things have gone badly, including things like 20 match lose streaks many times. And nearly every time after such a lose streak occurs I go "I shouldn't have kept playing while I was frustrated", while I can't say for certain I wasn't playing as well as I could, I believe frustration can very easily reduce your capabilities to make smart plays.

In the case of Corki, even if you're managing pretty amazing farm in each of those 8 games, besides 'real trolls' and leavers I'm sure there were means of you being able to pull things back. Also playing AD ranged in solo queue at low elo is asking for suffering unless you solo.

Yep.

Lost one game and then had a leaver, decided it was time to work on stream quality rather than continue playing while pissed off.

Sorry if I'm digging up ancient history, but I watched Space Jam and laughed really hard at Honda's response, but I was afraid, "That made me laugh a lot," was a wasted post.

Five posts and no one has mentioned Yi?
Why you provoke me to say things about Yi? Is he getting buffed? I really hope so; he suckles weakly on phallus, struggling to down each sip of his own suck washed with the bitter taste of illusionist quality-of-life buffs. Only a complete re-work will save the Master (self-declared, and in self-hating irony) from his d*ck-infested, Fatal-smelling inferiority, and the people acknowledge that he needs help.

But, nay, all those who witness Yi's pitiful weakness weep for him and speak tight-lipped lies to assuage his depressions.

"Yi is mega overpowered."
"Morgana is not overpowered."
"Brand is not overpowered."
"Kog Maw is balanced."
"Singed isn't a tank."
"Fiddlesticks is fair."

But Yi is hurt more by their sanctimonious deceptions than any jeering truth and he weeps as he festers in the after-thoughts of all level 30s who want to make an alternate account and wreck through low level noobs so that they, believing the words they speak for truth, will perpetuate the falsehood that Yi is overpowered and his call for help is ignored.

How should I build Karma as a bot lane support? 2-3 gp5 items into standard AP stuff?

Urgot isn't a ranged carry, so don't try to be that. Urgot is an anti-carry. Your job is to ruin the life of one of their carries. Yeah, get your farm in your lane and all, but ultimately your job is to harass their carries in lane, and harass their carries in team fights. Land an E on their carry and Q him the hell out of the fight. Suppress whoever needs suppressed in the fight. Don't use it to early. Look for that kat ult or malz ult or something like that. You CAN use his ult to initiate by picking off someone early to start the fight 5v4 but I almost always try to save it for mid fight. I can always EQQQ the person I would have picked and get them afraid to fight.

Avoid Kennen. You will want to kill yourself in that MU unless you got a ton of farm/items.
