I'm fine with people playing non-meta supports. I'll give anything a whirl. One of the most enjoyable lanes I've had relatively recently was me as Caitlyn and a random chap/chapet that picked Ekko for support. He would chunk them with Timewinder and then stun them with Parallel Convergence and then dash to them with Phase Dive and proceed to chunk them more with the bonus damage he gets from stacking his passive Z-Drive Resonance. All I had to do was clean-up. Sweet deal if you ask me. XD

Here is the thing though, that despite the fact that Ekko was doing a... Read More

When I first started paying attention to LCS, Aatrox had recently come out and he was doing work in Top lane and the jungle. Apparently too much work, because the post release nerfs Riot inflicted on him basically deleted him from the competitive scene as fast as he arrived.

I've toyed withe everyone's favorite Darkin Blade off and on, most recently at the beginning of Season 5 because of the difficulty of the Jungle at the start of the season for champions that lacked sustain. Aatrox seemed a natural fit, but my affair didn't last long as there were things like Warwick that... Read More

Janna - I stayed away from playing Janna for a long time. Probably because it seems like she doesn't do anything (far from the truth) and Howling Gale seemed like an awkward ability to use appropriately.

Tailwind speeds up allies coming toward her. More speed is always a good thing as it lets you get places faster and makes it easier to dodge skillshots.

Howling Gale there isn't much quite a satisfying as stymieing a Leona or Lee Sin that is trying to gap close onto your carry with a timely or well placed Howling Gale. Nope.

You can either instant cast... Read More

Butcher's Bridge

Looks really cool, though I miss the Poros. They are a heck of lot cuter than the devil fish things that have replaced them.

Thematically using GP's new voice as the announcer is fine for Butcher's Bridge, but I find it extremely jarring on the Summoner's Rift Map.

New HUD

Is going to take some getting used to.

So far the most frustrating thing I've found is knowing where to look for how much gold you have.

I also don't like your teammate's champion icons being over the mini-map. The mini-map is so important that there shouldn't be any... Read More
