She's a blast to play. The thing is, and this is something we are all really bad about, she's a very situational pick. We're bad about picking 5 champs that were predecided, even if we already intend to fill a role. We've got the right IDEA, we just don't quite get there.
An example was the game we played the other day. Before we even started the queue, Trygelan said "I intend to go bottom as ranged AD this game." I followed with "I'll play Rammus bot with you then." Then I proceeded to change about four or five times on who I was hoping to pick as the tank to go bot with.
No one else really said a word, but Trygelan and I were last to pick. First pick was jungle Cho'gath. My thoughts basically went "Um... well... two tanks is less than ideal, but Cho's not bad, that gives us a good counterjungler and being tankier isn't really too bad of a thing if our damage is fine." They pick Fiddle and Sona (making their bans of Janna and Alistar very obvious in what they were going to do - aoe comp). We're like, ok, we know what they are going to do, we talk about it. But then we lock in Tristana and Gangplank. I remind that Tryg had said he wanted to ranged AD and the point was made that Trist has a knockback for Fiddle. (Again, I think the thought process was great "get Fiddle under control" but I don't think Tristana when we already had a ranged AD planned was as helpful in practice, especially knowing she was going mid against their AP, who we knew would be aoe centric with cc.) They lock Annie for mid and Galio for their top (I figured Galio would be their call for the aoe comp, but hoped he'd make it down to me. I should have just called for someone to grab him and pass to me, I think.)
It gets to Tryg and I, he picks MF as intended, I kinda stumble around and finally decide (short on time) that Maokai was possibly the right call, because we had zero AP and needed something with it, and also because if they combo'd, his ult could (as in potentially but in practice wasn't enough) be helpful. I'm not really sure even now who I should have picked there, but if it was a serious game, I think Tryg probably would have not played MF since we didn't need 3 AD 2 Tanks.
Ultimately, I'm not really that bothered, but its something I wanted us to keep in mind for when we do play games. I made comments in chat about it, with full intentions of "ogodwearesofuckedthishurtsWHYYYYY" as my hoped for tone (I have Laryngitis and can't talk at all) but I absolutely doubt that actually went through and somewhere in there it was hijacked with "FUCK SHIT ASSHOLE COCK CUNT PUNCH THESE BITCHES WTF KILL YOU ALL", which I apologize for. (I know everyone was quiet in a "um... how to respond? respond at all?" way that was kinda funny) I was whispering with Tryg and taking a kinda sarcastic "OH THE HUMANITY" tone that went public at a hilarious moment.
I was like "Oh, lol. Oh well, let's cut these bitches" and the other team was like "oh hells naw, dawg, that shit won't fly" and promptly fucked my face.
On that note, fuck Fiddlesticks and his great awareness and their warding skill. Fuck him in his pointy stick riddled ass.
