    Let's put it this way. When was the last time one of you said "You know, you really should have Poppy in your lineup."? Whereas most people would say "Yes, get Yasuo, he is -fun- and -effective-."

    Let's put it this way. When you tried playing Yasuo when he was free, did you enjoy it? Was Yasuo a champion you wanted to play more of?

    Just play what you find fun, don't worry about what is popular or considered strong. All strong champions get nerfed, and weak ones will eventually be buffed or remade.
    Hehehe. I queued up for ranked the other day and people took all my roles. I told them in the chat. I told them. I don't play the mids. They took them anyway. I got a lot of practice on Yasuo that game. Also practice staring at the death screen.

    In other news is anyone else super fucking exited? With the constant adc nerfs and trist commonly banned, I feel like Ez is finally viable for solo queue again.

    Is there a reason to pick Ez over, say, Corki?

    Yes, play Ezreal over Corki if you enjoy playing Ezreal more than Corki.

    Seriously, is it so hard to just play what you enjoy? You are going to do far better with a kit that is fun for you than you will with one that you are playing just because it is strong. Jaef plays in Diamond, a much, much different tier than almost anyone else here. Tomorrow they will nerf Corki and buff Ezreal, and because you were playing Corki just because he was strong, you will curse Riot and whine about it instead of being quietly happy that they buffed a champion you enjoyed.

    Playing only what is considered meta and strong is completely the wrong attitude. I don't enjoy playing Twitch, it's not my style, and I won't play him no matter how strong he is.

    My point stands, then, and the answer is still 'Play what you enjoy'. You are not pro. You are in solo queue where the small differences between Ezreal and Corki aren't all that relevant.

    Wooo, back to silver 1. Yes, it's the third time I have promo'd into silver 1; let's hope it's smoother sailing this time.

    Shoutout to my friend who showed up and duo queued a game with me. Botlane duo on mumble is so fun. 3 people that game ended up having 0 deaths. Other shoutout for enemy botlane unfamiliar with the Soraka rework, and for allied adc who reluctantly changed his opinion from "Soraka is trash" to "some people playing Soraka are trash" after I won the lane for him.

    Re: Corki vs. Ezreal--that's tough. Both have voices that make you want to reach into the computer and strangle the actor. Probably Ezreal's is worse? You know the splash art for Debonair Vi, how she's sitting across from Ezreal and is about to punch him? That's basically how I feel playing Ezreal...

    Ok that's fine except then your point has absolutely nothing to do with anything even remotely related to what I asked.

    I didn't ask "Are the differences between them significant in Silver I/II?" Or "I'm looking for an ADC to play, who should I play?" Or "How do I make the decision on who to play?"


    The answer to "Is there a [gameplay] reason to pick Ez over Corki" is not "You have a bad attitude"

    But again, thanks for the help?

    If you're playing a kite comp then yes. Corki's kite is not nearly as good because his W is on such a long cooldown. But if you're not playing a kite comp then no. Corki is stronger in lane (he can harass through creeps) he is stronger in team fights (more raw damage, easier to proc triforce with his ult), he is stronger in siege (harder to avoid rockets).

    Can Corki become Mega Man and blast PFE Qs all over the rift? The answer is no, and thus Corki ain't nothing but a whiskey delta.

    So is the Soraka rework actually broken or am I just meshing with it ridiculously well? I've literally won every single game I've played with her.

    She just seems unstoppable to me. In lane she completely shuts down poke lanes with her W and burst lanes with her E. In teamfights she's effectively turning everyone else on her team into a tank, and good luck to the enemy team if someone else has a heal so Soraka's health can stay topped up.

    What's your build/skill order/skill use philosophy?
    Soraka seems potentially awesome, yeah.

    And I cannot overstate how beautiful the particles for Q and E are. Like I want to use the skills just to see them appear on the screen.

    All I know is I played vel koz support against a soraka and her lack of self heal becomes quickly apparent.

    I'm still experimenting with her. I've tried two main builds so far; pure tank and mana tank.

    For the first, I run full armour and MR runes, 0/24/6 masteries and build Talisman/resist boots/Sightstone and then pure resists - Frozen Heart, Thornmail, Spirit Visage (since there's no pure MR item and this helps your health regen the most). This build's designed to keep her health low but still make her hard to kill.

    For the second, I run a standard AP rune page, 0/24/6 masteries again and build Spellthief/MPen or resist boots/Sightstone and then Archangel's Staff, Frozen Heart and Abyssal. She's quite a bit more fragile this way but the AP means her heals are a lot stronger. Her Q in particular can start to heal a really sizable chunk of damage to Soraka - a maximum 80% AP ratio is huge.

    Not sure which one I prefer yet, there are pros and cons to each. Either way she's difficult to kill, the health cost on her W doesn't hurt her that much and she helps out her team tremendously. I'm finding that in lane she pairs best with an aggressive marksman and can suffer a bit if they're playing more passively than you, but after that it's smooth sailing.

    Skill order, I normally go W->Q->E than RWEQ, unless I expect to get dived at level one (in which case I take E first) or I can poke freely (in which case I max Q second). I'll just use W when I can to keep people topped up as long as my health isn't especially low, harass with Q and use E to prevent dives. I save R for teamfights or when I want to be greedy and grab assists.

    Yeah, I don't really play carries in ranked because most aren't my style; unless something goes weird when I'm in a solo lane and I get fed, my preferred statline is something like x / x / 10-20+x.

    Solo-queue is really frustrating if that's your mentality, but it is actually pretty fun to be the guy who gets Akali fed from time to time, guys. I had a Kha'zix table-set nearly impeccably for me when I had Lissandra the other day, and I really hope to make other people feel like I did that game more often than not.

    Yeah, the only carries I've found that I'm decent with in ranked are, oddly, marksman. Which is weird, since I don't play them very often, but I guess all the time fearing for my life as a support trying not to get killed helps out my positioning.

    I started learning to play Janna, because I bought the Fnatic skin (because it's so good!) However...well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems actually impossible to poke in lane with her. Seems like in lane you can *only* play reactively, so instead of making plays, you're swinging engagements in your favor/preventing them from happening.
    I do like how she plays in teamfights; feels very impactful to peel. But laning...unless I haven't figured out at all how to play her, seems really not my style (I'm pretty aggressive/pokey).

    If you're in a lane that favors poking your opponent, you can max W first instead of E and chunk people down with it. If your enemy also doesn't have engage threats, you can alsoquick tornado and get a couple autoattacks in using that.

    And don't underestimate max E first either. With someone like a Jinx, the AD it gives can do some work, provided you trust your adc enough to follow up any good knock ups you get.

    It's really a Mobility vs. Clear decision. Corki's clear is ridiculous, but so is the timeout on Valkyrie. I actually max Valk 2nd, just for the reduced cd.

    The ideal Janna laning trade looks something like this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOi5xGg97i8

    The subtlety that isn't immediately obvious there is that if you can shield yourself after your auto has gone off but before it hits the target, it'll benefit from the AD and you'll get shielded for as long as possible. Beyond this, Janna laning is a lot about knowing when to shield your ADC either offensively or defensively.

    If Janna didn't get the hero minion she would have lost that trade p hard.

    Janna delayed shield damage works on everything btw.

    Corki is not adorable. Ez's escape/chase is up much more often than Corki's due to his kit, so he's much more slippery/sticky. There's not much of a long range siege difference with Corki's new rockets. Corki does have the AOE/shred vs tank advantage for sure, but Corki suffers from the interruptable jump and holy christ his Q is so miserable. Ez ult is also very strong for forcing side lanes to push mid/late game if you can't afford to send a person cross-map.

    But really I just cannot stand Corki's nu-Q

    I started learning to play Janna, because I bought the Fnatic skin (because it's so good!) However...well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems actually impossible to poke in lane with her. Seems like in lane you can *only* play reactively, so instead of making plays, you're swinging engagements in your favor/preventing them from happening.
    I do like how she plays in teamfights; feels very impactful to peel. But laning...unless I haven't figured out at all how to play her, seems really not my style (I'm pretty aggressive/pokey).

    The ideal Janna laning trade looks something like this:

    The subtlety that isn't immediately obvious there is that if you can shield yourself after your auto has gone off but before it hits the target, it'll benefit from the AD and you'll get shielded for as long as possible. Beyond this, Janna laning is a lot about knowing when to shield your ADC either offensively or defensively.

    If Janna didn't get the hero minion she would have lost that trade p hard.

    Janna delayed shield damage works on everything btw.

    Well yeah I mean it's Karma, you're not gonna outpoke a Karma that's hitting her skillshots...
