I was in the upper Gold tier(?) in both S1 and S2. I'm hoping to reach Gold or above by the end of S3.

Has any role been changed?
New items? What are they and how good are they?
Is there any optimal jungle route I need to know of? (besides "kill everything")
Good counters?
OP champions?
OP items?

Lay the info on me!


Edit: I will ask a mod to remove **** comments. Please keep it on topic and informative.

Give us questions that can be answered with more specific answers. Don't ask for general tips.

If you want a general answer:
ADCs are OP
Jungle and Support are gold starved
Junglers are utility tanks
Top consists of Renekton Jax Shen Riven only
Mid consists of to-be-nerfed assassins, Zed, or utility mages

Standard jungle build is Machete Golem Tabi Randuins Oracles Tank.
Support build is 2x green and pink start, rush Sightstone Boots Shurelyas Oracles 5x green and pink wards.

Edit: I'll come back with more answers when I get home.

Has any role been fundamentally changed?

Junglers are pigeonholed even further into a tank build. Basically, if you want to win, you build at most ONE damage item even if you're snowballing. Junglers also have to be strong gankers.

There are rarely any APCs left. Assassins **** over basically every APC in lane phase. The only real APs that are used are assassins like LeBlanc, Kassadin, or Fizz, or you pick an AP with a lot of utility, like Gragas, Lissandra, and Orianna.

Top laners usually either build tank/bruiser and teamfight, or build to 1v1 and split push.

Junglers normally start near bot, because a support + ADC can help you with your buff. You get a Smiteless leash here, then walk straight to the buff on top side. From there, you gank top or mid, or you clear the jungle normally.

Quoted:

Good standard builds for all roles?


Jungle:
Spirit of the Ancient Golem
Ninja Tabi
Randuin's Omen
Negatron Cloak upgrade

ADC:
Doran's Blade start
Pickaxe/ B. F. Sword
Boots
Infinity Edge, or Bloodthirster if you're snowballing

Support:
2x sight ward + 2x Vision Ward + 3x Health Potion start
Rush a Sightstone
Buy a Doran's Shield if you're winning lane
Mobility Boots or Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Shurelya's Battlesong
The rest of your inventory is dedicated to Pinks, Oracles, and Green wards.

Mid (AP):
Doran's Ring start
Depends on who you are. Usually Grail or Hourglass first, then damage.

Top:
Doran's Shield start is broken.
Also depends who you are.

Quoted:

Good counters?


???

Quoted:

OP champions?


I expect Talon QQ since Zed got nerfed.
Jarvan IV
Zed maaayybe
Fizz still
Kassadin maybe still
Jax
Riven being qq'd about
Elise isn't OP unless she snowballs
Renekton is borderline OP

Quoted:

OP items?


Depends on champion, but I don't think there are any items that are broken.

Doran's Shield is OP though.

Um if you want stuff specific to the jungle you should watch my first 3 podcasts. Though everything's about to change once season 4 drops.

This is the kind of info I want.
Short, concise stuff that I can build upon easily.
I just mainly want info on the changes and new stuff from last season. Most importantly items.

Edit: oh damn, big new comment. That'll have to wait for tomorrow tho. Snoozin' time.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.

I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817
