Yes. I think it's even more likely to happen than in silver

But I also found an ADC that has an admirable attitude, is currently the same division as me, and has a playstyle I mesh with very well.

So I'm significantly more happy in this game than I used to.

I've decided to come back to League of Legends on a trial basis, to see if it makes me any happier than it used to. I quit around the time Ivern was released - can you give me the rundown on any new champions, reworks, new items, or other changes that I should be aware of?
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

lethality was a lot stronger but is falling off slightly now. adc's have been basically trash outside of 1 or 2 every patch until now. we arent in a tank meta really. your looking at bruisers like renekton or fiora top, assassins in the jungle or bruisers like warwick. warlords has been reworked to stqack like a rapid firce cannon or stattik shiv which gives some buffs when procced. bond of stone got removed and replaced witha new mastery which means crowd control marks enemies and allies that attack marked enemies heal. those were the main reworks i think that are particularly important. edge of night might have come out after you left which gives lethality, ad, mr and a channeled spell shield. also healing supports are really strong and ardent censer is a great item (champs like sona and lulu). also they removed laser towers and made them normal.

Lethality changes. Warwick and Galio are completely different guys. Bork buffs. Kalista coming back. Exhaust nerf, Mf nerfs. Rengar and kz nerfs. Camille. Cleaver changes. Aatrox double dumpstered.

Galio's not out yet. Next patch, which is probably a couple of days.

Anyone else here play top lane? How do you decide when you end your laning phase? I'm having trouble playing around low elo and I end laning phase 10-12min in. 25-75 I smash the enemy team, the rest of the time I end up trading back to parity, but it comes at a cost at letting my lane counterpart to ignore map and get back into the game. I feel like I take a complete 90° and kill my lane momentum. Maybe I'm too afraid to lose, but these are things I would used to do when I didn't suck at the game, so I'm going to be a typical solo queue player and blame my team for being unable to do anything with the small but real advantages I give them.

I don't really have the mental stamina or the free time to grind 100 games to knock sense into me. If you have a top lane hack, I'd like to know.

Currently I'm thinking Renekton is the best pick for me right now. Super good itemization right now, top lane carries are common in solo queue and he smashes them. Nobody counterpicks with Shen so you can blind pick and expect a winning lane. Only champion I've won with in ranked at least :roll:

Shen tilts the fuck out of me cause I always lose 1v1s against him and I can really never tangibly see why. Like I logically know its cause of the block, but it doesn't register in my brain until much too late, so I just constantly ban that shit man.

If you take tp, you never really have to end "laning phase." You can roam, kill people, then tp back top to stop that guy you've been stomping all game from getting much farm.

Your goal should generally be, if you're snowballing, to get first tower gold + rift herald, then roam down for dragon(s), b / tp back to top lane, use rift herald to make diving them if they're alone free, until your team's caught up and has taken their towers / etc. Then you rotate down to bot, push with rift and bring down several people - tell your team ina dvance that you're going to split and to prep for baron.

If you're strong, they'll consistently send more than one person after you, which enables your team to baron rather freely if you either 1) win the 1v2 or 2) escape without dying and make yourself available to tp to help.

If you've succesfully snowballed yourself ahead, you can often win 1v2s, so this means you're able to push people through their towers, dive and kill them, push then flank on a teamfight, etc.

If you aren't taking tp, you're forced to end laning phase sooner after you snowball so that you can abuse your mid-game advantage enough that the rest of your team gets ahead so that your opposing laner's farm advantage or catchup doesn't mean anything.
