Yay my loss streak continues.. We have a good first three picks and both Caitlyn and Taric are free for a great bottom lane! Plus, the last two guys were even a premade for extra communication! Then... they pick Xin and Karma, and end up totaling 1 kill, 10 deaths and 0 assists. No kidding. Then they talk shit for the whole game and end up sitting at pool throwing insults. This is at around 1400 ELO btw. Whoever doesn't believe in ELO hell is a fucking idiot lol.

I'm sure the other team never have those type of players...

Its true! Its like I never win when I play support nowadays, I feel 100% confident its that stupid Ashe's fault everytime.

Kidding aside, I do feel sorta helpless in games where I'm not CS'ing. Warding? Yes. CV'ing? Yes. Helping AD carry keep up in CS and survive? Yes. I almost want to go back to playing Xin Zhao in bot lane and just focus on destorying their lane.

@Jowy, I think most of us have got to the point where we can look at a tier list and disagree with several of the champs being placed where they are. The most obvious of the list you posted are in my view, Riven, TF, Kassadin, Vlad, Mundo, Shen and no idea what Mordekaiser is doing in tier 2, I haven't played him since he was nerfed but I assumed he was awful.

The list looks like it was made 1-2 patches ago although I still don't understand a few of the placings.

Let's keep in mind it's the SoloQ tier list, which doesn't really assume coordinated teams. I personally believe it is more accurate to look at the "draft mode" list, which is often quite different.

@Seyruun - Rarity is the worst of the ponies.

Rarity gets quite a few quality episodes that show a different side of her usual "stuck-up lady" persona. She is a fairly smart pony and she is also elegant. She also contrasts really nicely with Applejack which fuels the character development of both. Give her a chance, she isn't an instant hit like Fluttershy, but has a lot of unique charm to her! And her voice actor is really good, too.

That is the last time I go boots first on Morde...

Boots on Morde give you 3 health potions. They also give you lane control - you get 200x3 health regen on demand, how can that be bad? They give you mobility to escape ganks. If you go Regrowth, you are much slower and more vulnerable to poke especially from skillshot champions like Karthus. You also don't really have a way to use that Regrowth until you decide to complete Force of Nature or something.

You can actually start Boots with almost any champion and it will work. The only one I don't see that working on is Singed because I like the Mana Crystal, but I'm not much of a Singed player.

The problem with Morde isn't with his damage dealing ability as it hadn't been really touched, but now his lane sustain is just weaker with his shield being weaker.

From what I saw you just kept getting free harassed by Akali and it snowballed into getting killed and denied again and again and again.

[Krill]

Morde uses his health to cast spells, so actually you can use that health regen from 1:45 onwards easily. 3 health pots is, what, 20 uses of siphon of destruction? And with regen pendent you actually can get 1 pot, so you are only down 400 health, so it's not even that bad. Morde also seriously needs health regen later on, so I can't really say that the health pendant is all that useless over the course of the first 25 minutes. Boots second, definitely, though.

Agree on the free harass though. Think it was a bad lane match up...though I was about 20hp from getting first blood.

I've never heard anyone respond well to the Law of Large Numbers in regards to ELO in LoL solo queue. Try?

Not only that, Karma/Xin is probably one of the better lanes in regards to v a traditional ad/support esp if that support is a passive one(soraka, sona). Don't complain about a lane that has the potential to work especially in an ELO such as the <1500 range. Positive attitude wins more games if you're near your "true" elo than crushing faces with a "lol bot lane lost gg n00bs".
