Yes - you are now a thresh main,  I'm a mid cass main.  That whole I saw it LCS effect is pretty strong.  I also always bump into those folks trying crap out and doing oh so well...

You should really key in and listen to Boaz sometime when he talks about his adc experiences.  it's quite interesting.  So, he says he's on his alt account that's level 25, but he's up against diamond players regularly (sounds off).  He says his best adc is teemo.  He says he's had a support example 1 time on a level 25 account where he's always against those diamonds.  Tis all very strange.

Anyway, he's working on his vayne and I played support for him 1 game.   I think I convinced him to work on easier adcs while he's learning the role and getting better at it.  Vayne's kind of an adc I put at requiring a high skill cap to do well with.  Mastering her ult, learning how to work in team fights - its just a lot more difficult w/ her than, say, a graves, etc.  Anyway, hopefully that helped a bit.  I really do like boaz though - super nice guy. 

Anyone else have some ranked placement series stories?  So far we've heard the saga of cow and pacov's 1 awful game.

I think snipersbane is doing well in his placements 3-1 so far? Hes won three games on jinx all with the score of 3-2-? haha must be his lucky numbers

til he goes 3-2 in his placements... then less so

Am I in 2nd place?

Your points only matter for who you are playing verse.

You've had 4 people complete their week already, and only one of them (your support) really did very well.  So you aren't doing very well so far to be honest.  You might technically have the second most points at the moment, but that just happens to be because you have a lot of people play early.  A lot of people are going to be catching up as NA players (and people from Elements and EoL) come on board.

When keeping track of scores during the week in progress, its more about points/player while also accounting for what position they are in (you expect more points from ADC/mid slots).

Also: I assume that Roccat's score is currently bugged for me.  They only got like 3 points in a winning effort against Gambit somehow.  It appears that Riot is crediting them with 2 towers through 2 games which seems...implausible...since they won one of the games.

So - hunnybadger went 7/3 in his placements. Before reset, he was plat V.  Now he is plat IV

In promo for plat I!

I'm 4/4 in placements now.  Prob get the last couple games in tonight. 

So far I'm doing the best when I get to top lane 3/1 with liss.

Thunder is playing a bit of ranked now.  Seems to be 3/3 atm.  Had a few good thresh games.  Some replays here:  http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=thundercleese

dan's 3/5 atm. 

5/4 - streaming last game of placement now

6/4 - placed into plat 5 - I'm actually fairly please with the outcome.  Was plat V.  Won more games than I lost.  Fing annoying if I ended up in gold as a result. 

Last couple of games I didn't do anything all that special, though.  Kind of weak in laning phase.  Game 9 - 2/1/5 graves (7.0kda)- team carries HARD.  My vi jungle was a beast and won us the lane.  Game 10 - Still felt like i played the game wrong - 6/3/14 - made good decisions in team fights  6.67kda or w/e that means.

Weak showing from me... was going to play liss in game 9, but had 2 supports and someone thankfully dodged... annoying when you get 1st pick and get boned by TWO PEOPLE GOING SUPPORT.  Anyway, hugs and kisses - ranked anxiety murdered - back to ranked.

went 2-1 in placements and am now in Plat I. I am getting fairly discouraged though as the meta mid lane is REALLY starting to get out of my comfort zone. Assassins seem to be really over the top right now and I am not sure how to play against them as my farm mids any more. I had some success with viegar vs ahri today but it was terrifying. 

i dunno. i mean usually there is a few assassins that are good every patch. But that's also true for like mages.

Syndra was extremely strong for a long time. Ziggs was one of the top win rate champions for about 6 months last year. Orianna is always a consistent pick. Azir is extremely powerful at the moment.

That said, pure farm mages such as Karthus, Malz, Anivia, Brand, Veigar... sure they aren't super strong right now. But even though they aren't "super strong" they are putting up acceptable win rates in soloQ. But the recent yellow trinket upgrade helps since you can ward the river a lot more as a farm mage, preventing roams.

Both Ahri and Fizz are going to be reworked to be more DPS/kiting than raw burst, and i expect they will both be building tankier (Ahri might go back to ye old Rylais + Liandries build back when her W was mega-OP. Fizz might start going Trinity Force + Nashors). Removal of DFG might keep Leblanc under control in competitive play, but she's never had absurd win rates in soloQ.
