Does the Harrowing usually come with an RP sale? I'd like to buy some more RP, but I'd like to get it when the bonus RP is doubled, like during the event a month or two ago.

I think in my case the biggest early "jump" in my self-perceived competence was when I read a few (mostly outdated) guides on what items various champions built. I switched from the Recommended items, which are often kinda misleading, and onto the types of items I saw in guides. I also asked AP a lot of questions about what 6 items I should go for on Sona, who was free the first week I played the game and whom I kinda fell in love with.
One way to keep them all straight is to recognize that certain items are typically built-together (for example, Rylai's and Liandry's are built together frequently because Rylai's makes Liandry's stronger; you'll see what I mean if you read what the items do). So you can end up remembering a handful of item sets instead of remembering every item individually. You can also codify this if you want by making Item Sets -- the option is one of the buttons on your profile by Runes and Masteries. You can organize them ahead of time in a way that makes sense to you and maybe make one for each of the champions you play the most. I used these when I started because I found them kinda fun, but I just type in the item names manually know because I know them all.
I basically never play melee champs if I can at all avoid it because I am a coward, so I'm not very good at offering advice on the bruiser-y champions that you picked today (e.g., Sion and Vi). My level of critical thinking for those types of champions' items is kinda like "well, maybe hydra or cleaver? idk?" XD

Just be careful not to be confused by old guides, because some items have changed a lot since the ancient days. Maybe confirm that you're not reading a guide from 2013 or whatever. ^^;

I used to not really understand support Lulu, but then I switched to maxing Q last and E first, and now it's much easier. You can just autoattack them into oblivion while covering for your silly ADC.
Recently I've come to appreciate how much I like playing poke into Lucian, providing he doesn't have Blitz. Just stand to the side of the minions and autoattack him whenever he wants to try to poke your ADC with his Q.
ashe is the best adc. you should start with 21/9/0 full ad runes and a dorans blade then run to the junglers buff. place a trinket over the wall and use a critical shot to take the buff and volley to level up to level 2 from the small minions. from there run to the mid lane bush and wait for the champions to start fighting. run out of the bush and ignite critical shot volley and frost shot for an easy first blood. with the changes it makes it easy to get first blood and the junglers first buff and snowball to victory[/quote]

I've fallen from Silver 1 to Silver 3 over the course of 2 days. I'm now playing with people who have bizarre runes and don't know how to play the game, then rage at others because of their failures.
I just had a lane where I had to ADC with a Leona who didn't buy a support item and never used any abilities in lane until her ult at level 6 (which she missed), and I STILL had the highest cs at the end of laning phase. Of course, the enemy Akali had 5 kills.

I killed them all, but it put me in a draft normal somehow. Maybe riot does that when you've lost a lot of ranked in a row. I was the only ranked person in the normal draft game.

Yay 18/6/13 91% kill participation Jayce. ^^
I noticed going in that Vayne was a booster based on her rank and recent performance. I mentioned this after a team fight we lost where she cleaned up. Then our Lee Sin said that he was boosting, too. ^^;

If your mid laner has already died to Katarina 3 times, you should not give your mid laner blue buff because they are obviously going to die to Katarina again.

This actually confused me, too, because on SR you can't buy the Elixir until you actually respawn from death. They should just let you buy it and delay the start of the countdown.

550 isn't short. It's not exceptional, but it's not short. It's just kinda the "default" range.
It's the same as Corki/Miss Fortune/Ezrael/Vayne/Draven/Twitch; it's longer than Graves/Urgot/Quinn/Sivir/Lucian; it's shorter than Varus/Ashe/Caitlyn/Tristanaatlevel2. She also seems to hae decent range on her Q skillshot.

I'm curious about how the math works out when a player has the current Ancient Golem passive. I remember the math about %health seals becoming good in that scenario, but don't know where the HP/resistance break-off point falls.

Like, I'm awful at ADC and super non-aggressive/low-risk during lane in general other than poking em out, but I am pretty confident I can kill Vayne as MF just by pressing Q and avoiding being condemned into a wall.

The "Vayne has range issues" stuff is just because she doesn't have any abilities (other than Condemn) that are longer than her AA range. Other champions who have 550 have extra range on one or more of their abilities (or they get more range ala Trist).
