Yeah, playing support champs and to a lesser extent tanks in low or mid Elo solo queue seems like an exercise in frustration. Impossible to carry a bad team with them. I suppose at high Elo solo queue teams have that basic level of competency more often so playing a support champ is more viable.
Just got to 1430 in solo ranked
Fucking no goddamn we do not need that fucking abomination Mage Bane to make it to another game

More or less agree, but I still find going Rod first to be safer than Zhonya's. (Also the bigger mana pool helps out not run out.)
Also, I'm starting to feel like Morg is less and less of a viable solo choice these days between MF, Vlad, Malphite, and a variety of other champs I feel she has a bad matchup against, but YMMV. She still works great in a duo lane, but it does mean you need a 4th rank of W before switching to Q. (Actually, I do 4th rank of W anyway regardless of where I am, but that's usually 'cause I don't get to complete the Rod until about 20 minutes in on average.)
Also, you can still totally send her mid as a counterpick against, say, Anivia if you want.
That is the best part about Swain.
Not too many people are familiar with what he is capable of
So he just roflstomps people who think "olol squishy caster let's jump him"
I'm dead serious."
walk away, root/snare/stun totally optional.
come back in 5 seconds when his pool is empty.
So I went 21/7/2. Did it because I knew I would almost definitely be facing Vlad mid, so the key things I wanted were 6 more MR, 3/3 Strength of Spirit, and 2/3 Perseverance for more health regen so keep up with his self-healing.
That, coupled with my full MR blues, made his damage do little more than tickle in the early levels. I kept pounding on him every time he lost creep advantage with W + E + auto-attack and he didn't really have an answer for my damage output. Zoned him out hard and also killed him a couple times.
I don't think you could be aggressive enough to beat a Vlad against certain junglers, though, like Rammus. You pretty much need your W to beat Vlad and if you have to save it for a gank you're probably just better off playing conservatively. Problem is, once Vlad gets to level 9, you're in a bad spot in this scenario. He will have free farmed, and you probably won't have your IE yet, so roaming as 5 isn't a good option to counter his mid-game dominance.
Vlad is just a pain when played well.
kill her
...
Am I doing it right?
'scuse me while I do the boogaloo.
Not imaginative enough. You got to see it in the most hilarious way.
How to counter and kill Akali:
lol vision ward in the shroud
How to counter poppy;
walk away
come back 5 seconds later when diplomatic immunity is down
How to beat Veigar
Stand still
Kill after the stun cage drops
Did I do it right?

Let her ult you.
Cast Black Shield.
If timed right, laugh as Poppy tries to slam you and fails!
Don't want to watch some... "really pleasant guy" like HotShotGG though.

What is it now?
stay at your summoner platform
kill by using requiem when he's low
zomg i have this game on the lockdowns
You have not seen a good Swain then. Me and Spectrum can both demonstrate.
Riot Games you should pay me 5 thousand dollars and give me 6 billion IP.
I will be the #1 Ranked Player by Christmas if you do this, I totally guarantee it.
You cannot possibly refuse my generous offer.
that was an awful game
I just had a Malphite match with Eve, Twitch, Sona and Ezreal.
The other team bought two oracles.
One of those oracles was on a Kassadin.
Both Eve and Twitch flatly refused to participate in team fights from that point onward. They just tried to back door. Over and over. Getting ganked constantly because they were feeding the enemy team enough gold to pepper their entire jungle with vision wards.
It was amazing. I'd ult in, Sona would join me, Ez would start doing his thing, they'd have blown their shit all over my windscreen . . .
And both stealthers just fucked off into the jungle because Kassadin still had Oracles. They could all be half dead and Twitch wouldn't even come clean up. He'd just be waddling away in one direction while Eve went off to try and steal their blue or something.
Then they'd die a little later to the three dudes who survived and came back to their base.
On second thought, I think they increase the time period if you dodge multiple times in a row. The first dodge was the usual 5min (the usual - 4 physical carries lock in within 10 seconds and start arguing over mid). The second dodge (decent-looking team comp, but two guys hurling racial epithets at each other in the pre-game chat) gave me a time clock of i think 15 minutes? Never seen that before, but I'm not sure I've ever multi-dodged like that either. Hmm....
yeahhhh
it takes so long to get his heal to a reasonable cooldown and level especially since he's better when you level shatter. he's one of my favorites too, I hope the pink suit goes on sale at some point
I can't work out what that euphemism is supposed to mean.
I've only watched HSGG's stream once or twice though, so I don't really know what he's like.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
for solo queue you can always build him like http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=37916
His E brought me from full health at a tower to Veigar Q gibbing range as Rammus, building armor & HP.
OH YEAH I CAN TOTALLY SEE WHY CWHEEZY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 'NERF'
EDIT: Is it really this hard to balance a character? Yeah, Pantheon needed some late game help. So apparently the answer to this wasn't to put some thought into reworking his skill set or tweaking his stats - just fucking flat out sky rocketing his E.
And this right after Corki changes that broke Corki pretty hard for a while.
This is why I don't want Riot to decide that, say, Katarina needs some 're-adjustment'.
Basically I was sarcastically saying he's kind of a dick.

they're pretty incredibly mellow about the whole thing too; play some tunes, laugh hysterically whenever one of their teammates does something really stupid. seem like cool guys.
