Swain can go mid versus most AD Assassins, but you gotta get used to it. Zed, per example, is a matchup people have been forcing against me with only platinum/diamond elos (them ranked teams/mobafire inhouses) and all you need is not to play like an idiot.

Also, Anivia can do most assassins.
Thank you Byron for 2014's loudest laugh up till today

the ad assassins mid trend is followed by a new mid trend with bruisers mid! i played in a team with Fiddlesticks jungle Jax mid Sion top and bottom Ezreal Alistar!!! what a great team and a great game! i believe that the new season is more versatile about the ''meta'' thing and i hope we all see new things coming up! Ap carries can find a great role as junglers than mid laners versus dangerous assassins/bruisers miders. About the game i played we had Fiddlesticks as a jungler/ap carry...with his effective ganks with Crowstorm and me playing as Jax mid (super fed) we led the game to fast victory! :)

Oh god you're like keltoc with trynd, vapora with talon or nickname with yi. Can't people stop trying to shove things that aren't news to anyone and pass them for ten thousand times better than they actually are?


Also, Kha'Zix is still broken. One bots, one normal, one ranked, rape ALL the things.

Teemo is becoming a very strong new meta for a bot lane ADC, but unlike actual ADCs he's doing it as an AP magic dps, not a physical ADC. I see Teemo, AP Varus, AP Kog-maw, and a couple others coming into bot lane as regulars soon, but I think the meta will stay the same in some respects. Simply put, it's going to be sustained squishy ranged DPS in bot lane with support and their main damage out put will be decided by the team comps of both sides (Malphite and Rammus as their tanks? Well, Caitlin's a bad choice. Trydamere as our jungler and Talon as our mid? We don't really need my physical damage. Etc.). Things like these have been around since season one but they weren't widely accepted because ADCs can crit for 1k damage with full build and keep attacking constantly (AP carries were, and are, considered mid game carries due to the fact that they can't constantly dish out their attacks like ADCs) and most current AP dps champs where very poor in team fights. The hurricane changed this by allowing those champions to hit multiple opponents applying on hit effects but only half of their AD, which on magic damage dps is very low, but they make up for it with high powered on hit effects that scale with AP; this is why they nerfed teemo recently, his ratio was fine before when he hit a single target, but when you're hitting three and dealing 4% of their current health each time he was a major powerhouse that was indestructible.
We were given two ears to listen to others, one mouth to ask question, and two eyes to see the answers for ourselves. Those questions you ask are useless though without another to answer, and you must answer others if you are to expect them to impart the same kindness to you. Be truthful in your answers, then know that one speaks the truth; and be never afraid to test the answers of others so that you may know of more. And most importantly, always be kind to your fellow man, no matter their origin, their company or their creed; because kindness gives hope, not only to those you show kindness for, not only to one's own self, but to the world; and hope can nurture, redeem, or even save the lives of many.

I should've stopped reading here.

It's called normal games and tryharding. It may work against idiots, but most of the time it doesn't. Teemo is usually built squishy, he's team reliant and he can't handle most support poke early game, which will happen since he has a ****py range. Also, favoring him AP bot and not having some sort of AD Carry elsewhere (not saying he should AD. Really, don't.) will not do since AP Teemo mostly teamfights like **** unless you're facing idiots.


Quoted:

I don't. Ever. Except when I'm with a non lvl 30 friend.


Quoted:

Wtf does this mean? Cait can actually handle rammus well and Malphite is a matter of the team not being stupid and cramming up, it has nothing to do with Cait. Heck, AP Teemo/Varus would probably be more screwed vs Malph.


Quoted:
Trydamere as our jungler and Talon as our mid? We don't really need my physical damage.


Yeah, who needs a ranged AD that can dish stupid amounts of damage when I have a 400-range rodent and two melee ads. Sieges are gonna be great, we're so gonna pressure that tower.


Quoted:

You do realize AP Kog was nerfed over and over for some reason? "ah very poor in tf". And FYI, Haunting Guise getting an evolution changed things a lot more than the Hurricane did. Teemo still has **** range and 0 survivability and the hurricane can't change that if it's a losing TF, AP Kog is about ranged poke not Autos, AP Varus is mediocre at best, AP Kayle will not build Hurricane either,...


Quoted:

No, they nerfed him because they wanted Teemo players to decide if they commit to AP or if they wanna offtank. They nerfed him because suddenly Haunting Guise was core on a lot of APs and it hurt like ****, and because it combined with Malady remake made him quite strong in solo lanes. They nerfed him because his bases were considered higher than they should.

And how can a 1.4K HP rodent that dies to two hits from most AP Mid Abilities be "indestructible"?
