My happiest moment.
Thanks Manu.

I'm pretty sure that, at least, until you get to high elo, everyone just bans tanks in champion select. -_-

No one ever really thinks about the bans. They just click Amumu, Eve, Shen, and Rammus.

Which is precisely why we need 8 bans in ranked! MORE TANK BANS!

Hey look I'm on TV Youtube.

Which is precisely why we need 8 bans in ranked! MORE TANK BANS!

And then the era of Kennen tanks, Morgana tanks and Zilean tanks begins.

I don't usually get boots on shen because he has a fantastic chasing skill and three escape tools.

Please, people.
Buy boots.

It's funny watching this video again, 400 games later.
I was such a goddamn noob.

D'awwww xD

My build for this game was Leviathan, Firecape, Thornmail, Firecape, Firecape.

Greatest. Build. EVER!

I gained 97 elo today Awesome LoL day for me since I finally broke 1600's.

Deciding to stop duo queueing was the best decision I ever made... Gained 300 elo in 2 weeks cause of that.

Anyone know if Season 2 starts right after the Dreamhack tournament? It better come with magma chamber

Was your partner really that bad? :\

I'm pretty sure that, at least, until you get to high low elo, everyone just bans tanks in champion select. -_-

Fixed, from my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the occasional low ELO ranked games I play, the tanks I see get hit with the banhammer on a constant basis are Shen, Rammus, and Amumu.

About the guides: I can look for the tips and not, but the builds on some of those guides are...simply horrid. Its not even funny. Its so rigid that there's so many ways that you can fail hard on it. That's why I made my own build with Amumu and Rammus, which allowed me a lot of flexibility in countering various situations, not just straight up "OMFG JUST BUILD STRAIGHT ARMOR ON RAMMUS" for instance. In fact, I would prefer if one of you guys give me the advice, if at all possible. Save me the bullsh'it parts that the guides contain, at the very least.

Tl;dr - the guides from the sites I mentioned contain quite a few things I don't like. Period. Save them from my eyes. Its OK if you're just starting out, but as you gain more experience playing LoL, you realize how much bull some of those guides contain.

ROTFLMAO!!

I swear if this happens I'm going to have an aneurysm.

I wish people would just ban things their desired team comp has trouble playing against. I pineappleing hate fighting Nocturne, and if no one on my team wants Noc, I ban him. It's that easy. -_-

If we get 8 bans, it's going to be Eve + every tank imaginable.

@Will: I think you read wrong.

I bet bans would be
Eve, TF, Jarvman, Noct, Vayne, Alistar, Vlad, Nunu

Also free week rotation is
Alistar
Caitlyn
Corki
Galio
Gangplank
Garen
Heimerdinger
Janna
Nocturne
Veigar

Eve, TF, Jarvman, Noct, Vayne, Alistar, Vlad, Nunu

I agree with about half of those. I hate playing against Eve, Nocturne, and Alistar. A skilled TF is pretty dangerous too, I guess.

If we ever get 8 bans, I will always throw one on any newly released champion, just so my teammates can't pick them and then proceed to feed all game. >:

Caitlyn AGAIN? Good lord.

At least I get to try GP and Nocturne.

I seriously give up on Trydamere. I finally figured out what I was doing and went 11-8-10, but still lost. The deaths are really turning me off, no matter how much I endless raged.

6 game losing streak. Ugh so much fail.

TF is #1 ban priority all day everyday, his BDing power is just too freaking good with his global Ult.
The other names I threw in there were just what I've seen off and on from Dreamhack and streamers. I put Nunu in the 8th just because he's the greatest freaking jungler in the game and the fact he got banned quite a bit in the Dreamhack qualifiers. I've never seen him get the axe in streams because the other 7 take higher priority.

On a side-note, I've been meaning to try Jungling Xin, because I read he's really good now due to his buffs, but lack of AS runes is holding me back atm lol

I used to follow guides when i was new to the game. Wrote them down and everything to look at whilst i was playing.

Never really won using any of them mind you, just because they were, as you guys already said, complete glass cannon builds that didnt really get you anywhere. Now i know my way around builds by making them up myself i do a lot better.

Havent actually played League in a couple of days. I may record a game where i play Annie for you guys to critique cos even tho shes quite an easy character i wanna know if im doing the right things with her, because when i play her it kinda seems hit and miss to weither we lose or not going by how bad the other team is at teamwork and not anything to do with my Annie skill..

 I put my BEST, and I mean, my BEST skills I had to offer as an Amumu

7 game losing streak. Yup. I don't even know how to start this. I'm just simply effing pissed off at how this went. I had to carry while I was TANKING. What the hell man?! This was NOT supposed to happen. My team did what they could, but our TF fed and my team wasn't on fire to put it euphemistically. The only thing notable was I pretty much killed whenever I could, and dominated for early, mid, and early late game. It only took a 1v4/1v5 situation + me being out of position for the other team to take me down. And a Baron buff. At one point Renekwin and Lux was chasing me, 1v2, yet they couldn't kill me. I was simply too tanky (the other team found out mid game how indestructible I was). The other team called me a "beast Amumu". I don't know if that's a sign of respect or simply them taunting me, but given how they taunted the rest of my team, I'll take it as an insult.

Sometimes I feel like my efforts are gone to waste. Sometimes this is why I don't feel like playing LoL at times. Sometimes I don't even know why volunteered to be the f'ucking meat shield when people don't do the things I need them to do when I'm doing my f'ucking role. At least feel what I have to F'UCKING UNDERGO when I do all of this crap for the team. FML

Oh and eff Photobucket. Their upload thing didn't work. >_>

Was your partner really that bad? :\

Yeah, they were bad, but I didn't care because elo was being reset anyway. But after putting up with 2-3 months of losing matches I shouldn't because of my partner, I got fed up and said screw it.

My true elo should be somewhere around 1800-2000 and their true elo is around 900-1300. When I stopped duoing with them, one of them lost like 100 elo in no time and quit playing ranked lol

It wasn't even enjoyable duoing with them because they

A) Rage at others if they themselves are doing bad
B) Never listens to me
C) Suck


And one thing about carrying is that you can carry TERRIBLE players, feeders, ragers. But you can't carry guys that don't listen

Wow that TF sucked :|

Greatest. Build. EVER!

It totally was, untill sunfire cape was made unique.

I seriously give up on Trydamere. I finally figured out what I was doing and went 11-8-10, but still lost. The deaths are really turning me off, no matter how much I endless raged.

6 game losing streak. Ugh so much fail.

I laned with a tryn as nidalee. Once we got to level 6 he bum rushed the hell out of people endless rage'd when he was about to die. Then did his spinning move to escape towards before the 5 seconds were up. Consumed his Q? stacks to heal a bit (not usually enough since we were level 6). Everytime he did that I always made sure to have my heal ready for him just in case the other team caught up. Never died that way cause the enemies didn't have any hard CC :3.

We did this during team fights too when my heal would heal over half his HP.

If anyone wants to see the fail game from last night, upon request, I can provide the LoL Recorder footage. It pretty much shows how much fail my team was made up of and how much effing desperation I had to carry out to save my team, tank, etc.
