I had a streak last night of like 10 losses before that kass game so it felt ok.

Had a kogmaw that stood at base and danced, buying items and the game when on
Had a soraka that left my lane because she didn't like the way I asked her to not steal my cs. She should be able to play soraka any way she wants.
Had another soraka that was just straight up griefing, was like 0/20
Had a sion top that went about 0/10 in the beginning
had a morde top that went about 0/10 in the beginning....

I actually think I'm probably a 1300-1500 ELO player. Not the best, but pretty good, I just need to put enough games together without INTENTIONALLY bad players to get me there.

But actually, I'd like some tips for top lane. I have enough characters I feel good with to pretty much play any spot.
Mid: Cass, Kass, Veigar, Morgana, Xerath, Brand, Kennen
Bot AD: Ashe, Cait, Kogmaw, Sivir, Tristana, Vayne
Bot Support: Sona, Soraka, Alistar
Jungle: Yi, Skarner, Shaco, Xin (Working on Rammus, but he's banned all the time anyways)
Top: GP, and a few others I don't feel awesome with.

Top is just still the most foreign spot to me. What are some good characters to pwn top with? When I play GP top I usually do well, but just having the one character to choose from up there feels pretty limiting. I went up against a Nasus top last week with GP and I couldn't slow him down at all, he was stacking enough defense to pretty much negate my parrley. Our jungle didn't gank top at ALL either, so Nasus pretty much had free farm (I did too, but instead of tying the lane I would have liked to smash him). I do own Nasus, Sion, Nidalee.....and a few others. Tips?

GP/Trynd/Riven = The quintessential derpderp auto-win top laners. Oh and run crit runes on GP for even more derpderp.

I would honestly say Udyr is the strongest solo top. Even lanes where he straight up loses (teemo) you cannot push Udyr out of lane. He also hard counters alot of strong champs. For example he absolutely destroys Singed.

So interesting, that comment about tryn owning top. Just played a game as irelia and laned top vs. Tryn... i died so horribly. I had a full defense masteries and started with cloth and 5 pots, and he had a life steal scepter and just raped me. The fact that our jungler d/c'd on game load screen ment there was no help there. Pretty sure i got rrported for feeding, cause i willingly admited that i was playing like shit, but my team just thought i was trolling. I felt so bad though. I mean he pushed that entire lane killing me 5 timed and our recently reconnected udyr twice and he never recalled once. The guy even talked to me afterwards about it, and he said hes no genius tryn player butyou dont even have to be. OP champs are retarded.

Indeed, I played my first Trynd game since 3-4 months and even without runes and having to share a lane with a Tristana I finished 11/4/7 or something stupid like that. I know it probably changes at high ELOs but in normal games it's basically a guaranteed win if the game goes over 30 minutes, since he can both decimate teams and split push rapidly. In fact I'm gonna go play him right now.

Never ever go defensive masteries or items on Trynd, you're doing it wrong. If you want a sort of pseudo defensive item, go Wriggles (that's it). Go 21/9/0 always.

With Irelia you have to watch for her Hiten Style and when she activates it, DO NOT TRY TO EXCHANGE. Just run away with spin, wait for it to wear off and then go back to fighting. Do not fight Irelia with her Hiten activated, she will usually win hard unless by some miracle you manage to crit her a few times. She's actually quite easy for Trynd since you have insane sustain/exchange if luck is on your side, which is Irelia's only real weakness.

For Irelia to beat Trynd in lane you have to understand you wont win exchanges until about level 5/6/7; even then its only while Hiten style is active. There are 2 items that will shut down Trynd's ability to kill you in lane; Wriggles and Wardens mail. Once you get those 2 you will be able to exhange with him all day under Hiten style and usually come out ahead.

ugh dropped from 1900 to 1800.. boo

[Rivero]

Gotta whip out the saintvicous bad botlane chart: theres a 9 in 10 chance your bot lane is going to always fail. Had like 4 games in a row. Went from 1750 to 1650ish lol

I also have some bad superstition that whenever I'm first pick, my team tends to lose lol.

Have any of you guys tried ARAM matches? IF so, what did you think of them? Thinking of playing a few to see if I like them, the idea sounds interesting

Honest question. Why?

[BlackMoomba]

Honest question. Why?

BECAUSE MUNDO DOES WHAT HE PLEASES!

[Djghost454]

Because I haven't seen a mundo ingame in about a year.

[Sup3rB4d]

I haven't seen an Oriana in.... I can't remember how long.

The range nerf was pretty harsh. She couldn't harass without taking more damage than doing.

[Tyrath]

Honest question. Why?

Reds said it was a bit of a bone to Mundo while they work on a real remake.

[Rivero]

Honest question. Why?

So he can jungle better.
