it wasn't taric that won that game, sorry to break it to you
I'm not referring to the all-PA game. It's another one some of us ran off to do afterward. Bunch of jackasses who were really good at fighting us on their terms. They were relying on panther-girl to carry them. They'd always cover her. She'd run in, kill people, and everyone would just scatter the second they start taking damage. By the end, she had so many stacks she was able to tank Fiddle's raven storm.
They were being incredibly unsporting, Halo-esque geese, too. To an irritating extent.
There's not much you can do with a team that is being dicks, except just simply typing /ignore player. If they do have some incredible champion you can abuse the power of wards, plant them at the lizard/golem and see if you can get a drop on this exceptionally fed champion and take them out of the picture. Then maybe their team will temporarily crumble. It's probably the best hope you'll get. If this champ turns out to be a really evasive one like Nidalee or Kassadin then you better hope to hell you have some hard CC, and why wouldn't you.

Well, you did a damn good job. But yeah, mistakes were made in that game.
For starters, calling out both the timing and direction of your team's movement in a one channel in house. I like one channel in houses, but "I'm doing dragon," should be typed. That's how I killed you before minions spawned. There's some flexibility here, as I'll occasionally say stuff that is partially / not concealed (my coffee analogies with Bagel aren't exactly NSA strength encryption), but just be careful with it.
Ugh. Tried out Gragas, wanting to be jolly and fat for a game. We won, but only because the other team had a leaver a short ways in.
I ended up having to mid against Heimer, because Ryze didn't want to take mid, and the rest of our team was yi, jungle shaco, and tryndamere. Before their shaco left, we hadn't really touched any of their towers. They had destroyed five of ours. I was trying to hold Heimer back, but it was freaking hard. I ran out of mana barreling his turrets, and he would clarity his mana back up and be like "what." And the other lanes were having such a rough time that it was impossible to get anyone to relieve me.
Auuuuugh. Just hard matchups. Argh.

I had one of those earlier (as Gragas, no less). I was off to a bad start, trying a new early game build for Grag, but I was solo laning with a Tris and she pushed me hard back into my turrets. We were dominating the bottom lane, but I guess the success went to their heads because we were getting crushed everywhere else and they never bothered to help until it was way, way too late. It really pisses me off when I can't get someone to cover me while I go back.
Teemo with cleanse and flash escaping me multiple times with like... 50 hp or less was so frustrating. In one instance the last auto attack needed was actually flying through the air to kill him but he flashed and it just disappeared.
I ended up 0-0-7 as mid morgana.
But their teemo ended 0-1-0...
Guess I won.

We played a game last night that was us versus 4 tanks and soroka. I don't even think we did that bad but we just couldn't get an ace and lost the match. We put up a good fight and made them earn it though. I think it want to just about a full hour.
it was either a roll by your team and you guys had your towers killed while you ganked, or it was a very, very good match.
Feeding.
Only other competent player on my team was Ashe, who went 18-12. Our Fid, Singed, and Olaf were useless.
I got out carried by Tryn & Twitch. They had 40 kills between the two of them. At the end, the other team just focused me as fast as they could.
All and all, fun long match tho. All towers were down, they just won the team fights at the end. Best score Ive ever had as Ezreal.
It's wonderful carrying the team as a tank or tanky person. The team has to focus you down first, but in doing so screws over the fight as the rest of your team takes pot shots at them. Mordekaiser is a lovely example of carry tank. Or Nasus, or Garen.

I will quit from queues with Evelynn. I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. The occasional Eve who pulls ahead in the early game is not indicative of most Eve players.

Its fun watching your friend play against a team with an Evelynn when he refuses your advice to buy an Oracle or Vision Wards.
Seeing his team constantly getting ganked by her was hilarious. Everytime I saw someone in a lane solo I said "So and so is going to get ganked by Eve and I'm going to laugh when it happens."
Of course they lost horribly.

Yeah I fell for this yesterday. Rest of the team looked good, I thought maybe the Eve could do something. Nope, fed a little, then a TF fed, whined and bitched at the Eve and Sivir who weren't doing well and just sat in the spawn.
I haven't played Sion since beta, but this is pretty much how I rolled with him as well. The thing that annoyed me the most with AD (and you mention in your guide) is his lack of mana. Some very frustrating easy stun/smack kills were lost to me not having enough mana to spit my eyes at the escaping enemy. >.<
I pretty much gave up on him because of this, but you really made me want to pick him up again

Let's look death in the face and say, "Whatever, man!"
I'm level 15 with about 5500 IP. Do I go ahead and buy Karthus when I have the points, or save all of my IP in anticipation of spending everything on T3 runes at 20?
How much IP does a full page of T3 runes end up costing?
Depends. I'd say that 410 IP is the "standard" T3 rune price (quints not included). Dodge Seals and Flat CD Glyphs are double that, which makes a certain amount of sense given that they're 2 of the better options available in those slots. Attack Speed, Magic and Armor Pen are all 410, so good Marks are usually standard priced. The Flat Health Quints, which are really solid, come in at 2050.
So, for a melee champ with Armor Pen and/or Attack Speed Marks, Dodge Seals, Magic Resist Glyphs, and Flat Health Quints the total cost comes in at: 17220.
Edit: Forgot that MR Glyphs are half of standard price.
Hmm. That's not on the cheap side of things. I will only be buying half a rune book worth at 20 with 10 levels to finish them out, but still... Guess Karthus can wait.
My Teemo+Gragas W/L ratio: 1.57
Everyone else ratio: .66
If I only played Teemo/Gragas I would be 39 games up, instead I'm 2 up.

edit re: the runes.. There are cheaper alternatives to hold you over. For example I survived for a long time with gold/5 quints and hp/lvl seals because it it's 6k+ for hp quints and 7k+ for dodge seals. Alternately you can just buy some tier one runes to hold you over as you fill them with better. (If you haven't already.)
=======
edit #2.. just played a game I almost dodged because we had a Sivir named "Juggalo." And really fuck juggalos. But I played it anyway and our WW got first blood ganked by Eve/Panth/Annie at our low creeps after I watched bottom river ent and mid didn't watch upper. Then Eve ganks Soraka up top. Then our mid Ezreal dies to Annie/Eve after I tell him they're coming from bot. So I'm thinking I'm fucked. But I got to dominate my lane vs Annie and send her running and smashed Eve when she showed her face around me and we ended up winning pretty easily once WW started carrying. Good times with bad omens.

Played a truly hilarious game with Wicked Demiurge last night which we were certain we would lose. A guy I invited off my friends list was AFK in the spawn until everyone was level 6+, yet we managed to pull it back from there and win. My favorite highlight was my blind javelin throw into their Golem area, which ended up killing their half-health Kennen. His response in chat was priceless: "ow, my dignity".
