So this patch we're gonna give him a pretty big damage buff, hope you guys like this.

Fucking flawless.
Although, if you're going to go AP runes, I think they generally advise scaling AP rather than flat AP, since it'll give you more AP for late game. But, try MPen red and flat AP quints and see how that works for you.

4% CDR from tier 1 offense masteries, 0.96% CDR from the single rune, 15% CDR from Ionian Boots, and 20% CDR from Chalice/Spirit Visage/Nashor's Tooth, depending on the champ. 40% CDR without blue buff is huge and lets me do big things for my team, especially on Ori/Fizz/Lux where your skills can have huge impacts (shield/pogo/shield/ults in general).

I'm afraid of touching ranked ... doesn't help that I get chewed out in normals for "not understanding my mechanics." I understand them well enough, I'm not a pro >.>. Maybe sometime in the summer I'll give ranked a try... running joke is I'll get Silver off of placement matches(not likely >P)

I need a big man to hide behind early on, why do they not understand? Did have a nice game as Taric yesterday, went 12-4-16 with the adc I was buffing.
@Daklore if you want a decent group to find teams with, with little pressure and some ranked too, try the glhfgg chat, lots of friendly people, doing all sorts of things.

CLG is probably the biggest example of a 'support the carry' team, but that's because Doublelift is probably the best ADC in North America, and is at least as good as the ADCs from EU/Asia. A lot of teams will try to focus their comp around their 'star' player, Voyboy generally for Curse, Doublelift for CLG, etc.

Top, mid, and jungle are most flexible. Bot is fairly rigidly ranged AD carry + some kind of support. Conventionally top is some kind of tanky bruiser (eg. Garen) and mid is a mage (eg. Annie), but you can play pretty much anyone top, mid, or jungle as long as you can make it work, whether they're a tank, bruiser, melee carry, mage, assassin, AD, AP, or whatever else. The only reason you probably won't see Annie top is because other common top laners (Jax, Irelia) will easily destroy her, and she's weak to jungle ganks. The only reason you probably won't see Garen mid is because he has much trouble last-hitting without steadily being harassed to death against common mid laners (ranged mages) and the geography of the lane, with no brush for him to camp in, is not favourable.
Carries are significant because an AP carry will be extremely strong around mid-game, and an AD carry will be extremely strong late-game. If you were totes awes at HoN I will not explain in any more detail that AP carries (mages/assassins) gain a great deal from levels, due to the power of their abilities, while AD carries gain a lot from offensive items, which they can afford a critical mass of heading into late-game. The idea behind support/AD carry bot lane is to provide as safe an environment as possible in which the AD carry can get as farmed as possible, plus they are near dragon so they can either help their jungler kill it or prevent the enemy team from doing the same. The previous popular meta was something like two bruisers in bot lane, while a ranged carry went top or mid - up until EU teams destroyed NA teams in tournament play using what became the current prevailing strat.
Carries don't 1v5, not really. The most extreme items of Dota/HoN, which might allow someone to literally 1v5, don't exist in LoL. Carries are the ones doing the damage and getting the kills, but it's still extremely important for a team to provide good initiations/engagements to allow their carry to do that job.
You'd think for all the yelling they do about what pros are doing, they'd learn to buy a ward or two... ¬_¬

Just played a good game--for the first time in a while--in LoL, and it was a stomp. I usually play draft, mostly so I don't have to play against Blitz. I hate laning against him... so I'm first pick, and therefor the one doing bans. Second pick asks if I own Blitz, cause the team wanted him banned of course. I, of course, do own Blitz, and he asks to try and get blitz. I figure, hey, why not. I don't ban Blitz, the enemy team doesn't ban Blitz, and I first pick Blitz.
He picks Corki for me as the picks go on. We trade, and all is well. I'm ADC as I wanted, he's blitz and supporting, no raging on the team at all.
Needless to say, at 10 minutes, Varus had 27 cs, I had like 80..... and I was on a killing spree. There's a -reason- I hate playing against Blitzcrank XD
Was a pretty good game for our team. I can't say the enemy Varus was bad(at CSing, though, maybe... but it might've been the Blitz pressure). I ended the game at 12/1/8(it was a 20-something surrender) and 128ish CS. I know, I suck at csing...
My only death was because I was an idiot and tried to retreat past an enemy turret after we had dived and secured a few kills(and a death or two on my team)... our minions didn't have agro like I thought, and it was too late to wait. I was perfectly safe, but, oh well.
So... there's a reason I hate playing against Blitz.
The end.
