How was your day? - League of Legends edition - Gymleaders - 2014-01-10

I remember the first time I played Cassiopeia when I was very new.
I was like "never again!", but then when I got better, I tried her, and I was like dear god she's so fun. Kinda hard though, but not Orianna kind of hard, she's like "I'm hard, and I'm also not meta, so I'm even harder", while Orianna is like "I'm hard, but I'm kinda OP so it makes up for it".

So, I notice I suck at this game anymore, but I don't quite know why. I feel like my mechanics are falling off, and I'm just not as good as I used to be. Anyone got any tips for this?

You just have to practice, and try to see what you did wrong and what would help it.
For example, something I'm working on lately is learning when to take a hit on creeps. Not to over extend and be greedy for creeps if it'd cost me to get harassed a lot and possibly get caught. Stand back, wait at tower, and safely farm, and allow the people who are doing well to continue doing so, and not make it any harder for them by feeding.
One thing I've pretty much mastered when I'm playing support that I've been working on is blocking skillshots for my team mates. Like when I'm versus an Ez, I'll generally always stay in between Ezreal and my own ADC to block mystic shots. This makes an absolutely HUGE difference.
Just focusing on your own play and what you're doing wrong will help you get better in the long run. Practicing in general will help you retain your skill.

Just rename and replace what you want with the same file name
It doesn't change your portraits in loading screen/in-game btw

10 Levels stand in the way before I can play ranked, and I'm sitting with a back to back win/loose-ish streak.

I'd strongly advise against playing Ranked as soon as you hit 30 (because you'll most likely end up placing into Bronze). Unless you're OK with that.
Know all roles while specializing in two or three, get decent at a few champions (like 2 or 3) per role, get generic rune pages for AP/AD/support/jungle, and watch streams/guides/VODs (esp. the ones who explain their thought processes such as scarra or nightblue3 or unswlolsoc).
Level 30 is where the real learning begins imo.
Edit: Questions!
Are HP quints the standard generic Support quints now? Looking to (finally) replace my GP5's.
Movement speed quints vs. Flat AP quints? I noticed Faker runs flat AP's while TiensiNoAkuma and scarra run all MS. What do.
Are 9 points in defense even worth it for Mid? I feel like it's not. I'm very tempted to go 21/0/9 and snag MS / Regen / CDR or something.
I hear different opinions of "The defense tree isn't worth it unless you go deep" or "The 9 points are worth it."

Both of these really depend on who you're playing and what you're playing against.
For supports i mostly play Thresh, Leona, Annie. On Leona and Annie i'm investing in flat HP Quints for the all in level 2 hoping to get that kill (also why i love the Doran's shield start), on Thresh i prefer the flat AD Quints because i harass a lot.
For the Mid question if i'm up against something like Ziggs, Nidalee, Gragas, someone i'm going to get poked down (or all in'd by like Kha'Zix) by i like the def tree but if i'm feeling confident in my match up i get the utility, other times if i'm on someone mana hungry i'l go 21/6/3 just for the mana regen.

Wow I suck. Didn't even consider flat AD's for Thresh so I'll keep it in mind for him specifically! I understand HP quints on Leona but I second guess myself running them on squishies like Sona, Nami, or Lulu.
I also vaguely remember trying 3 points into mana regen on Ahri/Lux in S3 and felt like it sucked but after reading your reasoning I'll try out your suggestion of sharing def/utility! Maybe I dismissed its potential too quickly.

I also use flat AD marks on Annie for the same reason as Thresh (Also use AD marks on him too, i build him typical bruiser with runes and masteries actually, 9/21/0 flat AD marks + Quints), i just switch up the Quints for Annie!
And with the mana regen in utility its not going to make you have some massive regen, you'll still need something like 2 rings on Ahri and a chalice/tear on Lux but it does help a bit.

Well, that's kinda why I took the past week playing almost every single champion at least once, and so far, I have a decent amount of champions I can use for each lane, and I've been kinda mentored by some friends of mine, as they could use another pair of hands at Bot/Top. Either way, I should be a bit more careful of what I say or even do. I mean, I'm alright with going into ranked, but the amount of people already in it...yea, nevermind. Kinda why I'm giving myself time to hit 30.

Yeah, if you think you know the champions...you probably don't. We still urge you to not play ranked for a while, lol. Enjoy your pre-ranked bliss while it lasts.
I'm seconding Mandalay's advice of saying expect placing into Bronze.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Just spare yourself the pain and suffering and wait till you're at at least 2~300+ wins
You may think you know how to use your champions, but there aremany things you don't know that are part of winning the game that you probably won't know or have mastered by 30, like knowing when to push, how to gank, when to harass etc. I know people want to dive straight into ranked, but I see no point in doing so unless you're as good as you can get from normals. When I was around 1k wins there was nothing for me to really practice in normals and now I only get placed with plats/diamonds who want to troll around just like me.
Like I think I've said before, ranked isn't some fun new game mode, it's where all the try hards go to try hard and win. If you haven't brushed up on all your skills, then there is no point in diving into a mode that is literally the same as normals except for the fact it shows a shiny medal that will probably be an ugly bronze for most newly level 30's.
The mode is here all season, no need to dive in right away, you can wait till the second half of the season so you don't end up like those people who messed up their mmr and couldn't crawl out of bronze 5 for the free skin of gold tier.
If you think you have all the mechanics down, then go ahead and jump in, but just know that it'll be more annoying to climb up when you start out at bronze 5 and crap mmr.[/COLOR]

On Thresh runes:
I think flat AD quints and reds is really good against supports that can't respond to Thresh's AA poke whatsoever...but, there are very few supports that can't. Thresh has 475 range, so he has to bring himself relatively out of position just to get harass in. Once everyone is level 2, every Thresh harass can turn into an all-in opportunity for the other duo. With that said, it's great level 1 if you take Flay a good bit before you get to lane because your lane opponent gets chunked for something like 110 damage.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Good thing I didn't place any money on that bet.
I was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off. Maybe I should just do mine, lol.
Thing is, if anyone remembers, I was stuck at plat 5 for a while when I fell from plat 2, so not sure how high I'll be.
