What champs make you groan a little when someone on your team picks them?

Gangplank, Sivir, and Yi... bleh.

Any champion that is currently free

Rumble nerfs inbound!

Please please please make his ult CD longer, he always has it available for every gank and every teamfight, the CD is wayy too short.

I don't mind his ult, but they need to nerf his Q, so short of a CD and it's way too good for harassing.

GP is a wishy-washy thing. A good GP player can pretty much do quite a bit of trolling and cockblocking (though not at the extreme levels that Singed can carry out). He seems innocent and looks like a good champ to target first in a gank, but lets take a look here: An IE-enhanced, AD-infested Parrley (a HUGE squishy killer if those factors are in place), his Scurvy (cockblock any debuffs/ganks on him and allow him to escape if done right), his Raise Morale and his Ult (anti-escape/finisher/saver) can combine to do some serious damage if worked in concert with what his/her teammates have. I have seen this happen quite a few times lately.

Though a bad GP player will make me facepalm.

Pretty much the problem with all 3 of those champs, is their requirement for excellent players to really use them well. Yi works well . . . if he's comes into the fight at the right time and is able to kill someone to chain his abilities, all it takes is one good burst and he's done in before he can even start if the other team is coordinated enough. Sivir can destroy towers like few others, and if left alone, decimate an entire team with her richochet + ult, but if she gets isolated or can only hit one person, she's far worse than almost any other ranged dps. GP can still be a pain in the ass to deal with if he has enough cd, lifesteal, and crit to spam his abilities, even after they removed his deny and made his ult terrible, but he really requires a great farm/getting uber fed to do the same things that other champions can do better, i.e Tyrn, Irelia, Jarvan, Renekton, etc. So assuming you have people who know what they're doing, they are all good champs, it's just that most of the time you won't get those people playing them . . . essentially making it a 4 v 5 except that 5th person is more of a feeder than an actual helper.

Sorry for leaving earlier Derosis and Bob, the buildings power went out -_- some idiot hit one of those green power boxes with his truck.

 Spoiler

Did a premade with some friends from high school. Malphite was pretty new to the game so he fed singed early game. We were getting destroyed because not everyone was going for the squishies and tried to take down singed instead. Lost everything except the 2 nexus turrets and top inhibitor. They didn't push hard enough which gave us time to farm up and basically everyone on our team could 2hit any of their chars except for singed. I don't normally play anything other than tanky characters (I had cdr, mana regen, and magic pen runes that I normally use on amumu) but tristana is pretty fun to use. This was probably one of the best games I've had in a while in terms of entertainment. It was really a close call and we came close to surrendering several times but managed to pull out a victory lol.

Double "Bloodthirster"? That's a first. Plus it's no wonder you guys could 2-shot everyone, minus Singed, everyone was freaking glass cannon, minus the tanks of course.
Also why the name censoring?

Not sure if my friends want their IGNs posted on a forum so I just censored everyone including the opposing team. GP basically followed a build we saw a team mate do once. (Went with 6 avarice blades to farm and then bought those items and dealt massive damage which pulled off a massive comeback as well that game).

Double bloodthirster is actually better sometimes on certain carries than an IE. That is however, if you can be sure you can keep alive long enough for the 80 stacks to be worth it.

I've done double BTs before.

I've even done double PDs because there was a Singed that wouldn't stop getting in my face.

I've seen Double PDs plenty of times, just never seen double BT ever, so it was rather surprising.

HArr I want a free Akali week, I really wanna try her out but don't wanna buy her without being sure.

I've grown to loathe that comic, because people believe it's a valid argument.

I know, it was same back with MS, I spent like 90$ in around 6 years of playing, but I could've lived without any of that. So far I've spent 0 on LoL and I don't think it's necessary, if I were to spend on RP it'd be because I'd want to help the company, not for what I get, sort of like a donation.

Same here.
I've "donated" a fair bit.

ION I can play LoL again now! (And I won't randomly leave/dc)

Read the article, they bought RP simply because they thought the customer service was great. I just thought it was a funny strip.
