Introduction

Hey guys! I made this guide for anyone wondering how matchups work in the bot lane. I'm not Challenger, and much of this page is opinion-based, so feedback from the community would be appreciated! I respond to every comment.
My IGN on NA is "TSM Dirty Dan" and I am Plat 1 on two different accounts.

Tier List Explanations

These tier lists takes into account many factors, the biggest being how easily a champion fits into a composition. Other factors include win rate, how a champion is doing on a competitive level, and ability to carry solo queue. I've attempted to order champions within a tier list from highest to lowest, so any champion in a tier is very slightly higher rated than the next.

S Tier - Pick or ban, AKA God tier.
A Tier - Very strong, but not quite ban worthy.
B Tier - Strong with the right composition or as a counter.
C Tier - Can work well as a counter or right composition, but rarely will outperform higher tiers.
D Tier - Champions that I would not play …

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I feel like I can accurately make a list of the top 10 champions of all time. This list is inherently biased by nature, but I am going to try to give as accurate assessment on the top 10 greatest champions ever. There is a number of criteria to consider to determine the best champions. The first is consistency in competitive play, there's no way around it, pretty much every champion has had it's time in the sun, but very few champions can endure over time. The second criteria is domination; how strong was a champion? Was it first pick/ban worthy? There is also a number of criteria that automatically disqualifies a champion. If the champion hasn't been out that long it's pretty difficult to examine. *Spoiler alert*, sorry to all you Yasuo and Gnar fans, but these champions haven't been out long enough for me to accurately assess. In particular with Yasuo and Gnarr, they were both way overtuned for when they first came out and since the…

Soup.

Basically I just thought I could write up a guide or two when I have free time at my work. The internet is not any good to do anything else so I thought I could just spend some time writing guides.

It sounds weird but I have lot's of free time as I'm only required to do something if I get a customer and I'm not getting assigned a lot of customers as I'm only practicing so I'm just basically sitting around trying to find something to do.

Couldn't come up with a champion/general guide that could use one for a S5 guide and I remembered some of these threads at general discussion asking for others opinion so I thought I could try the same.

Any champions that could use for a guide? (I'm almost done updating my old ones) Besides bot lane champions, I also play these champions:

Hi everyone,
I started live streaming on twitch, just some casual games (not to hard try but more for entertainment).
So if you want to look at a LOL game, feel free to come along.

I live stream at random hours, at random day depending on what I have to do that day. But usually I stream
almost every day in the evening (GMT).

My twitch is: http://www.twitch.tv/whitebrine_creations

see you there :)

I recently went though around a 15 game losing streak (totaled across 3 accounts!). Turned around and won my next 12 or so before dropping a game and then picked back up and started winning again with a W in the win column for my first ranked provisional for Season 5.

Here are some of my thoughts regarding things that can cause you to lose games and some potential solutions or simply points to consider.

AFKers

You can't do anything about AFKers. Don't sweat them. If you are still having a decent game play it out. If it is looking grim hit the surrender button. It is rather satisfying to win a 4v5 and your opponents will often reward you with Honorable Opponent points for your trouble.

Ragers

Ragers you might be able to do something about. Depends on the situation. Try to coax them back into the fold, but don't judge your game performance based on someone else's bad attitude.

Bad champ picks

Le Sigh.

Garen into Teemo.

Gragas Top

General observation about Gragas Top.

He is a safe pick. You'll likely be able to farm and harass your opponent a bit, and have a good chance of getting out of ganks between Body Slam and Flash, but you probably aren't going to win lane hard enough to make a difference in the match without jungler help or a mistakes on the part of your lane opponent. So, you have to be on the lookout for Teleport ganks to pull ahead of your lane opponent

Bans:

Coast - Kassadin, Sivir,

Bans:

TSM - Rumble, Kassadin,

More rabble rousin'. This time vs. Shen and Nasus

Both are melee, get tanky, and have some innate sustain, so fairly similar enemies.

Both times I maxed

First things first.

How to Elo Climb:

- Play Katarina.
- It doesn't matter where you are going (mid, top, adc, jungler..) GO KATARINA.
- "Dude, their team have a lot of CC" JUST FCK THOSE GUYS! Katarina 'til I die..
- Duos when you can play Katarina are the best duos. You can sync the engages and **** like that..
- This is the real deal.
