Hey @Joshmvii , I gave your build you mentioned for Yi a spin in a botgame. I duo'd but I wasn't sure if you did this for jungle or solo top. Could you tell me which and your early build path? I got as far as halfway through IE. It was probably the most fun I've had in this game since I was stupid Lv 1 taking Yi into games with all my friends that were Lv 30 in early Season 1.
I have been going hydra->shiv->IE->PD for top/mid/bot(if i'm in blind pick or whatev). Jungle I've been going elder lizard->botrk->shiv->youmuu's or IE. Honestly, he's so strong right now you can build anything.
My favorite is probably Hydra/Shiv/IE/PD, but BotRK is honestly better to have in there somewhere than the PD most likely, just because you have a bit less crit but you get the active which is crazy.
I get 15+ kills every game no matter what I build pretty much, so whatever.

Bork would also be better because Of all that AS you get from your ult anyway, right? You'll be slamming head first into the cap otherwise.
My last match in this series. 1 win and 1 loss. WATCH THE FINALE!
I watched this whole game. I could sense the frustration from you. (aside from reading chat)
Lots of frustration. Mostly in myself. I played badly in that game and very badly in the previous. My first game in my series was a complete slaughter and I did very well. To go from that to the poor performance I put on in the last two games really sucks.

What do you think about Manamune so you never run out of mana....maybe go tear near the start between hydra and shiv, and place it where the PD would go? My only issue was I'd run dry on mana in extended fights.
Sion's visual update is "possibly" going to be released in 2015.
On the one hand I'm glad that Riot are planning stuff far in advance, but on the other that's a really long fucking time for what's meant to be one of the highest priority reworks.

I don't think that's so much an issue with the visual update part of things as it is that they don't know what to do with Sion overall. He basically needs to be ripped out of the game and replaced with a new guy, who just happens to also be named Sion. Riot just has to figure out what they want that guy to do first.
There was a recent Red post that said Sion was moved to low priority because they had to figure out what to do with him, while the other reworks, like Sivir, were much more straight forward.

I don't think they ever said he was one of the highest priority. They still have no idea what to do with his gameplay, which is a problem for updating his model. And let's be honest: nobody likes Sion.
Armor Pen for last hitting makes no sense. Minons start with 0 armor and get around 2 armor every three minutes. By the time the armor value of minons surpasses the flat armor pen just from the offensive tree, adc's have enough damage where it doesn't matter.
Armor Pen is for more damage against opposing champions, and not last hitting.
LCS marksman use different quints depending on the plan for the lane.
Man I have been using the AD quints, for some reason I thought we were discussing reds this entire time. I need coffee. Please ignore me, I am league scrub.
I admit defeat, I was wrong, I looked up how arpen works. Back to the drawing board with my conclusions. This is why I am silver :P and not a pro.
This is bullshit I can't master all five roles at once
As soon as I become a solid top laner I forget to ADC
Why can't I override the ability to do math or something lame like that
what drives me nuts about top lane is how the rest of the map falls apart even when i'm dominating. i get tunnel vision up there hard core.
While I have been wrong about a lot today. This is advice that pretty much any diamond/challanger player will give. Its not about winning your lane, its about winning your lane AND another person's lane. This is why most people say that mid is the easiest lane to carry from, because you can win your lane and roam top or bot to help them out too.
i guess i'm not seeing the opportunities. feels like if you roam mid, your towers gone. bot lane is flat out, it will take well over a minute to go there and waddle back.
In solo queue, the mentality of letting a wave sit outside your tower so your lane opponent is zoned due to threat of jungle gank is a losing one because a) you can't push to threaten other lanes and b) your jungler never comes. So just ward and push.
Just gave post-nerf Thresh a spin. Two thoughts on him; firstly, he feels much, much weaker in lane now, and for most of the early game.
Secondly, I have absolutely no idea what to build on a tanky support in this patch. If your jungler picks up Locket, you're pretty much out of cheap-ish defensive options.
Ruby Sightstone, Philo(and build a shurelya's later), mobo boots, oracles, tons of wards on top of the sightstone.
So "nothing".
I find that the minimalist build works well on supports like Janna and Nami that can hang back at a safe distance, but if you're playing someone like Leona or Thresh - supports who might well get in the thick of things - then at least one or two defensive items are useful so you can actually survive long enough to make an impact. Which means that this patch is problematic for tanky supports, because there aren't any obvious affordable defensive options aside from Locket. If you're a mage support, you've still got tons of possible cheap build paths, even if they're not necessarily optimal.
Sunfire and Frozen Heart might be solid tanky choices, but both of them seem expensive to me and pure armour items are kind of weak these days due to the penetration changes. I also tend to dislike Shurelya's because it removes part of your income, although I realise that's probably silly.
Re: support Yorick, the problem is there are quite a few lane bullies who can win bush control and let their carry free farm... while bringing more utility. His mana costs seem like a major barrier in bot lane, as well, from what little I've seen of him.
Sit on a Glacial Shroud and finish a Kindlegem item. I also get a Doran's Shield or Ring instead of a GP10 item if I feel like playing hyper-aggressive in lane. Difference in price lets me buy extra wards without having to wait for the income anyways.
And despite having pretty much no utility, Crs Edward is convinced Support Mundo is a thing.
Hmm, I can see it. Cleavers provide a ton of peel, burning agony does good damage without any items, and you get a TON of free AD from masochism. He scales very well with hp, which is what pretty much every support item has on it anyway. In the right hands (basically Edward and no one else) you could make it work.
The key to understanding Mundo in any role is to understand that W is a trap skill and should be maxed last. Max Q in lane and E in jungle.
Ap doesn't make any sense anymore. .. are they building like... as and crit?

Pretty much. It also might just be me though. I don't consider an IE, BotRK, Shiv, Phantom, and boots (generally as far as I see any get) a lot of AD. Mostly because I too build stupidly and rush two Bloodhirsters and a Phantom Dancer.

TSM has been looking a lot stronger since WildTurtle though.
The guy may act like a 12 year on a sugar high at his birthday party but he's a lot better than Chaox.
Unless you really need a DFG, i think that Sorc->Guise->Void is one of the stronger openings.
EDIT: Oh wait that games over, read the schedule wrong.
And yeah everything went as expected.
at this point predicting a c9 win in the US is like predicting a sunrise.
