I play Sona mainly, and I also do an AD TF and Riven.

It's probably best to go into ranked with an ability to play at least one champion (even better, two) in all roles... but realistically speaking, if you call support no one will contest you for it most of the time.

On the rare occasion I solo queue (normal or ranked) I just say "mid or bot lane please; I can top/jungle but I'm not very good at it" and sure enough they'll let me have mid or bot lane a good 98% of the time. There are always gonna be trolls, but
most
people will accommodate a reasonable + polite request if they perceive it as increasing their chances of winning.

MR blues>AP blues

Also, flat mana regen is preferable over scaling. Mana regen isn't much of a problem as you level up.

My post has mana per 5 seconds, not per levels. Also, forgot to edit my post, but AP/lvl blues, not flat. Don't really prefer MR post-nerf because I like to make big plays mid.

Whomever it was who said Move speed is good on all champs has a +1 from me.

Love Move Speed Quints, they were something I used only on a few select champs especially since i was playing a shit load of irelia at the time which is the reason i brought them in the first place but now they're something I tend to use on all champions, bar a few where I might prefer Armor Pen or something. I swear these quints have saved my life and bagged kills on so many occasions that they've more than proven their worth ^^

The reason why MP5/lvl were so damn good was that they broke even with the flat ones at lvl 4. Now it's kinda debatable.

Sorry bout that. I just skimmed over your post and saw the / and assumed it was /lvl. Definitely AP/lvl blues over flat AP. I still prefer flat MR, even despite the nerf. Allows you to stay in lane longer. I think the 15 ap from the quints is more than enough ap until I start getting my items.

RayFrost wrote:So uh I joined a ranked team because a lol friend asked me to.

Then he told me I'm going to be our ad carry. I have mf, trist, ashe, urgot, sivir. Order of strength: trist, sivir, mf, urgot/ashe.

Who should I be getting next for an ad? I feel like I'm generically covered for the different style of ad but I'm not entirely sure.

My understanding is trist god tier late game, decent early game, weak mid game. Mf / sivir godly mid / strong early game, slightly drop off late game - mf ult placement make/break for team fighting potential. Urgot godly early/mid game, drops off into late game. Ashe weak early, decent mid, strong late - arrow being a make or break for team fighting potential. So I'm guessing I need to get graves because fuck yeah, but aside from him who all do I really need/want? Corki? Kog'maw?


Tristana is actually very strong from level 3 to 9 or so. Her midgame is weak because the base damages on her abilities aren't enough to cut it anymore and she doesn't have the raw damage to fully wreck a team yet.

MF has a steady downward curve throughout the game. She's really strong at trading early on, and her ult does some pretty excellent damage in the midgame, but her lack of escapes kind of gimps her a bit and she isn't quite as effective as some of the other champs.

Sivir is just strong throughout the game. That ultimate is excellent. Also, pair her up with a Janna and watch your boomerang clip half of the enemy AD's health at level 7.

Urgot is very strong early and midgame, but becomes mostly a utility champion late in the game.

Ashe is very strong in some matchups and very weak in others, but no matter which setup it is, she's not too strong midgame where her arrows are basically the only particularly strong thing about her and fairly strong lategame BECAUSE of the arrow initiations and because she can back it up much better with raw damage. That arrow is a free win if you can aim it.

You have a good list of early game powerhouses (all of them can be used as such) and a decent mix of mid-late game strength, so mostly you should try to fill in the blanks on comps. You don't have anyone that's particularly powerful against bruiser lanes (only Trist has any real escape), so I would suggest adding Graves. Sivir is the only champ in that list with a good escape for Blitzcrank grabs, so I would add in Graves or Vayne. Tristana doesn't work because of the way her jump works.

I sure am enjoying all these 30~ FPS drops that occur during every teamfight since the PF Ezreal patch
I'm sure glad Riot spent that extra week and a half making sure the patch was optimised after it fucked the game once
