When the enemy gets something like a fiora or vayne...i tend to consider what to watch on netflix since it'll be done soon
art stream / twitter / ko-fi
But mostly it is the crit and speed bonus you get in urf. That and perma invisible and pushback/stun with early lifesteal makes it insane.
Though fiora and yi just make the mode unplayable
Wukong is my personal favourite to play in URF. The perma E-W is so fun.
It's fun for the first 10 games, until you realize how broken, painful and stupid it is >>
Sweet jesus...those korean runes
I was fighting an enemy vayne in URF that was untouchable and easily cleaning house. Was maddening. If we had something like a Maokai or morgana, would have maybe been much better. But dying in 4 hits and being unable to pin her down from invisible + tumble was so upsetting. A vayne that knows what they are doing, and is playing urf, is a nightmare.
I give up. All of this took about 20 minutes. Dodges happen at the last moment, or people just never accept. How are queue pops so slow below level 30? At max level I get instant queue pops, jesus. -Goes back to ranked account- Eff this.
Definitely notice the difference when duoing with someone to bring up avg. lvl and -1 rando!

Not that this is a negative thing, but it's a fact and not a myth that each division is different and why over three quarters of the community is hardstuck silver. Vali's MMR is low-mid gold, we also got some plat last seasons, etc. The mechanics on both sides lead to different skill match ups. That's why people who get boosted will only lose and drop/decay back down to where they belong, because they won't have an even match-up at any point until they learn the mechanics to get out of bronze, silver, etc.
It's why when I was duoing with just you (and not anyone else) I could win lane relatively easily with just ghost and heal and no runes or masteries. It's also why IWD, Voy, Dyrus, NB3, can do 'bronze to diamond/masters/challenger' within a week.
I'm also just fucking bad. So I was probably a large contributor to some of those losses.
As a side note, doesn't mean the losses were bad or you can't learn from them. Can watch your side of things and see if you could've done things different. Even if things are a stomp, if you have a higher MMR friend who plays the ladder, ask if they can watch a replay. It's how I got out of gold and into plat, when my diamond friend coached me a bit into what I needed to change or start doing.

Who's the best babby's first jungler now?
@Nazihk - this is just my take on jungle - when you're starting off, pick the absolute simplest mechanical jungler you can think of, because you need to train yourself to look at the minimap rather than your champion.
I would personally suggest Warwick - clears so easily you can start with an item advantage with bead instead of pots. His new kit lets him gank a bit earlier if he wants to, and his 6 is still strong. He's strong late game (which is more easily reached at lower mmr games), is tanky so automatically good, duels well, cleans up well. Only downside is his team fight isn't mega strong but you can usually just turn it into a bunch of 2v1 or 3v3s etc, and his objective control is about average though he can take them safely in terms of sustain.
I break it up into 3 related things you have to do - control lanes, control enemy jungler, control objectives. Controlling the enemy jungler is probably the hardest to do because you'll need to get a feel of every other jungler and you generally need a specific champ to do it, so in this respect just be aware of what the other jungler champ does well and when.
Objective control is mostly just being proactive with clearing wards/securing scuttle, checking when the opposing jungler is on the opposite side of the map to take/sneak objectives, or knowing when their lanes are back so they can't contest you.
'Easiest' is controlling lanes. Sometimes there's nothing you can do based off of comp/skill level of your lanes, and you just have to accept that. There's some general rules to start with - don't gank losing lanes, track who has flash/escapes, let your lane know well in advance. The latter two are easy to pick up, the first one has caveats of course.
A gank doesn't have to = kill, it can be a CS advantage/control for your lane, objective, blown summoners, etc. Risk-wise, failing a gank on a losing lane means you and that laner are even further behind, whereas ganking a winning lane will put you and a laner ahead. If their jungler shows up when you gank the losing lane, you almost automatically lose already as well, and even succeeding might not mean your lane recovers. Most of the time, it is better just to snowball a winning lane even harder and use that to take over the objectives/game - if you're not a carry jungler then the truth is that you're just a glorified support, so just let your carries carry and ride them :>
What else are people playing as ADC lately? They nerfed both my Varus and MF, I'd like to have one more besides Cait that can do stuff earlier (as opposed to say, Vayne) in case she gets picked. It just feels extra dangerous/unrewarding to be an ADC this season.
Here you go. It's how I be a meta slave on my higher ranking account

(Aside: OP.GG uses data from ranked games Platinum and higher.)
So I've recently become a mod on League Confessions! (And server mom of the associated Discord.) Come check us out here! It's a really cool and funny blog and the Discord is one of the nicest League-related communities I've ever seen.
I also finally revived my long-dead stream and am doing League streams consistently, as well as sometimes art, if you want to watch some goofiness as well I'm here.art stream / twitter / ko-fi
got gud
Veigar in ARAM Is immensely strong. He has a selection of 5 heroes all in one lane in front of him, making it easy to grab free AP points much more than a simple SR game.
Frankly, im my opinion, Veigar will remain to be a problem so long as his insanely painful Ult remains a homing missile. Being 1 shot by him is no fun
