That's an unreasonable amount of champions for someone to learn imo. If you have 5 champions (one for each role) that you are good with then between the other 4 people you should have it mostly covered. Obviously, if your tank is picked/banned then maybe someone else will have to fill the tank role.

I still think you should have a "main" *insert role* and a "side" *insert role* for each role, especially when your main is a high value pick/ban (Amumu and Teemer comes to mind). As well, say you're the last pick and you're supposed to be the jungler, and he is picked right before you're able. If so, no jungle for your team. Asking a person to know how to play 10 champs out of 60-70 champs isn't very unreasonable. But that's just me, and that was just you.

If you see me doing something stupid, then I need to be educated.

I fully understand frustration, and I can take that, but that's just a heads up. I suspect that goes for everyone else.

That said, though I managed to irk Mario at least twice in that last game (;D), I thought the response was good. I learned some shit.

Don't play nice on me; if you see me doing something stupid, call me out on it. I'd rather get called out and learn against that than die horribly and learn against that.

Also, we should get a system going. I hear people double-ping if they're going to initiate; perhaps at the beginning of each game, we could designate one person to be the 'commander' of sorts, whose job it is to double-ping?

[John Doe]

I'd say it go to the tank, the de facto core of the team battles.

[Jonathan Meer]

Problem is, I like to tank, but I don't have a good sense of when to initiate, when not to.

[Sigfried Hunin]

I'm starting to really get good with Alistar and tanking. I can get in there and push shit around and kick ass lol

[Jarka]

I recently found that I love champs that have an ability that increases power with last hits (such as Veigar and Nasus).

UNFORTUNATELY it really sucks when your laning partner refuses to listen to you say "Hey, don't last hit the minions I'm targeting. It gives me more power. Target other minions."

I had a match where I went through two full mana bars as Veigar without getting a single last hit with my Q (and that was the only spell I was using) because Rumble would run over and cone the minion I was targeting before my spell hit.

I really hope that 25 gold is worth your teammate's end-game champ being totally underpowered.

Don't worry. We all had a good laugh after you signed off Mumble about when you flashed into Baron by yourself. =D

EDIT: I also agree a lot with what Mario said. I'm definitely capable of all of that stuff he mentioned, but I do try to focus a lot of the time, I think I focus too much on myself rather than what's going on. Plus, we need to be talking more. A few times turrets were going down with no one defending because people either died without saying anything or went back to buy while leaving no cover.

[Waffuru]

People should really learn how to feed your carries. Makes your life way easier. Some champions are in for assists and shouldn't be topping CS anyways.

Neither of those are usually champions that go in duo lanes though so that they do not have their farm taken from them. If you play either of those champions, kindly request either mid or a solo top lane. Nasus in particular is strong in solo top, as he has the ability to clean a lane at will to go back to base or push hard.

That's assuming they regularly have a jungle, which I'm guessing is not what Jarka's dealing with and that other people are willing to listen.

[Tyr]

True, with no jungler available, then request mid. Particularly if you're Veigar as he's quite capable of mid with some practice with his combos. Horizon on them to proc stun, meteor, Q and ignite can often take down people somewhat early game. A nice little tip to not waste as much mana as well is to keep the respective farming skills at level 1 as long as possible. I'm speaking as an old Nasus solo player (also do it from time to time), if you keep Q at level 1 and just score the last hits, you'll slowly farm up to be a beast and with the free points in W and E, you gain even more control over your lane.

I'm not a traditional Veigar player and cannot really help you there, I imagine a maxed Meteor hurts like a mothafucka though.

[Jonathan Meer]

My rationale was 'ok, we're losing, maybe I can get lucky and jump in to steal baron'

'mmm nope'

Hearing Mario go 'OHMYGOD' upon slapping my Flash was the weirdestloveliest feeling

I think it was less of the "OHMYGOD" and more of the absolutely collective "WEEMUS!" scream from all around. If you'd have had Smite, I'd have called it possibly worth it (if you'd thrown the ward over to see Baron's health). But with him being full health (since you didn't ward over the side), you couldn't tell if he was anywhere near theftable. Eitherway, that's something you should have mentioned before heading that way.

[Belle Hibiki]

Weemus Flashes in.


WEEEEEEEEEEEMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSS

[Jarka]

Ahahahah the best.

Honestly, Weemus, I didn't mind so much when you flashed in. I thought it was a great strategy for my team.

[Jonathan Meer]

There must have been a collective feeling of fear on seeing a Rammus suddenly appear in front of your five-man team.

From what I recall, the dialogue went like this:

"Okay, everybody, Baron might be warded. Keep your eyes open for-"
"OH GOD HERE THEY ARE ALREADY."
"Wait, it's just Weemus."
"..."
"Let's kill him!"
And then we killed you.

Played a solo normal game. Ugh I'm never playing a game again without Chubbs people unless it's an Co-op vs. AI.
