OK - so I played 3 more solo (4 total on alt account, 3 solo).  1 game with hunny... in which I learned people in this elo are not to be trusted.  Hunny and I made a play to back up a super dummo.  Could have been an ok play.  Ended in 3 deaths for us.  Lesson - don't trust mofos here.  

Anyway, then 1 game solo where I didn't believe folks were inherently bad still and played braum... with a kog jungle.  You shouldn't play braum here... braum = you carry a good adc.  You cannot carry a slop team imo as low kill potential solo.  

After that, I kicked into pacov of old.  This is the shit I did on my LAN account.  I become the selfish god of bot lane.  FU runes/masteries on heavy AP carry.  Lux in these games.  No GP/10 crap - just power.  Anyway, I crush it completely.  Recruit myself some minions and requeue.  Win again.  I find someone that is actually good.  An ADC jung/main.  This means I now have a 3rd that I can use to help get hunny up to gold V so I can play with him again on my main.  The guys fucking legit as well.  2 games - 23 and 24 kdas on lucy.  Guy gets this shitty elo and is also pretty chill - said he was gold and got demoted due to afk last season.  Anyway, high hopes.  Think this guy EASILY belongs gold and prob plat based on a few games.

From what I've seen, hunny spends time when I'm not about solo climbing, so hopefully he gets on a streak and gets closer to his promos.  Hunny had a serviceable jungle zac, so perhaps we can try that with this other fella adcing in this lower elo mess. 

Happy valentine's day boyos. 

Uh... so kog ma adc is a thing now

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/45jxnx/kogmaw_became_the_highest_winrate_ad_carry_this/

Yeah, I was going to mention that.  He's obscenely good right now and in my opinion a must pick/ban every game.  Was watching a Challenger ADC main play him last night and it was really scary.

Kog jungle currently has a 50% win in Diamond and the percentage gets better as you go lower in elo.   So that Kog jungle you were talking about maybe wasn't trolling you when he was keeping the other team from getting the most OP champ that's in the game?

yeah - I haven't actually witnessed a good one yet, so I'm just going by stats. Guessing we'll see a bunch more today after the reddit post bringing it to more folks attention as well.  

Posted a bunch of stuff to plays - http://plays.tv/u/pacov

Here's the hunny penta - http://plays.tv/video/56bf5b6c63e7b4911c/great-kench-play-resulting-in-penta?from=user&_t=eyJ0eXBlIjoiZnJvbSIsImxvY2F0aW9uIjoiUmVwbGF5VXNlckNvbnRyb2xsZXIuVXNlclZpZGVvc01vZC12aWRlb3MiLCJmZWVkX2lkIjoiNTZiZjViNmM2M2U3YjQ5MTFjIiwiZ2FtZV9pZCI6ImIxNzk1ODVjNmI2OGEyNzkxZWVhNGExYWQzZDdlZjcyIiwibGlua19pZCI6InZpZGVvX2xpc3RfdGl0bGUifQ%3D%3D

Someone on Reddit posted a list of potential Duskblade users winrate differences between patches.  Definition of irony:  When people are freaking out that AD Assassins are going to be OP but it turns out that they're all apparently fine after Duskblade's introduction and their natural prey (Kog) became ban worthy after the patch.

All Stats are from Champion.gg

(*) means that the champion also received other changes in 6.3.

haha... that's kind of funny.

Still, I think this is a bit preliminary, but good data nonetheless (I hadn't seen this yet, thx for posting it!).  The play rate being the bigger variable.  I think we'll see a bunch of folks trying the item out, sucking with that champ + item, and the buggering off.  

I played in exactly 1 game where we had a talon with the item and he was popping folks like it was his job.  Talon's 1 to watch I think because the play rate shooting up so much.  Could, and probably is, a bunch of crappers dropping the win rate.  

Yeah, definitely a bunch of 'crappers' right now lowering the win rates of certain champions.  I think also even folks that are good with the champions are trying to rush Duskblade too soon and maybe doing badly cause they're playing around the passive too much or getting overconfident after buying it.  Can just picture bad Riven players not weaving in autos cause they don't want to put the passive on too soon or something. 

So I'm still low enough elo that I'm trying to carry through heavier AP plays on my alt (pacov) as supports mostly.  Been playing lux exclusively (and selfishly).  Anyway, couldn't do that one game, so I want good ol morg.  Haven't done an AP lean morg in forever as supp (don't have the runes for a normal morg support atm).  Anyway, did it.  Love it again.  Very safe, very strong champ here.  I do proper support items but toss in a zz here and there to force people to group.  Forcing people to group in silver is good...  

Anyway, love it.  Was really missing playing proper support and this is close, just with FU dmg runes/masteries

edit - also, every game now I'm last pick and we get a mid going lux.  #hope the other team doesn't pick morg

got bumped directly from silver V to silver 3 anyway.  Just plowed through a series playing morg a bunch.  Hunny says he's almost promoted up to Gold V, so this alt acct crap should be done soon.  

Continued on my alt yesterday a bit.  Sitting 79 LP in silver 3.  Boaz finished his placements and ended up silver V.  

I'm kind of annoyed with Rito's system for what tiers can play together in ranked.  I mean, I get why they are doing it - I don't really want someone that at least appears to have low elo showing up in my ranked games.  But that crap where I duo'd a bunch w/ hunny and then cannot now without some handicap kind of blows.  

I don't entirely know how it works - if its tier for tier matching at lower elos or if its just a plat can't play with a silver.  For instance, I'm plat V and hunny is silver 1.  Not possible to play together.  Would that also be true if I hit plat IV and he hits gold V?  If so, that also blows as if I sink time on my main and climb to plat IV, then that's more I can't play w/ pals... which is all kind of why I'm playing on my alt.  I see a bit of playing on multiple accounts if I want to play ranked with pals in my future :/

So there's this change on PBE

That is going to be quite a thing on supports at least.  Not sure how long it lasts, but def sounds strong to me (currently running 12/18/0 on my morg support page).

And zz portal is disabled.  #thanksfuggingreddit.  Grats on finding a fringe case break, teaching the entire fucking world how to exploit it, and getting the item disabled.  What more, I doubt there's a simple solution to this thing that should probably never happen if it had not received publicity from some shitter just fugging about.

Went direct from silver 3 to silver 1 on my alt.  Hunny is now in his series to promote to gold.  Currently 1 and 1.  Game 1 we massacred the enemy team.  Game 2 went less well.  I screwed up 1 early play that hurt us a bit (thought I had ignite vs exhaust so I hit the wrong champ ><).  We recovered eventually, but the enemy team was just much better in all the other roles.  We had a 1st time panth jungle, etc.  Rough 1.  Was hopig to help hunny get to 2-0 tonight . 1-1 is.  So, perhaps tomorrow we finish out the series and hopefully he gets his gold.
