Mid pref.. Malz/Lux. I play a **** ton of Teemo since s2 even though he's trash. Mained top for a bit when Wukong and Shyvana were a thing, I don't really like melee champs though. Also, love Leona. First champ I mained was WW.

None of the champs I enjoy playing are meta or have been in a long time.

Champion Reveal: Tahm Kench, the River King | League of Legends

The River King

Looks Awesome. W is OP, and gonna be really interesting addition to bottom lane. Curious to see where else he will be played and how his damage will be. Great addition to the roaming support meta.

Just another great champion design from Riot. It'll be interesting to see how they start to manage complexity creep as the game keeps going on. A simple champ isn't really makeable anymore

it might be if the game goes through an overhaul, but as a Support main, the idea of creating more Tank supports is great. Bard was not great and I have yet to even try him.

Every game I've been in with him has been one-sided. Either he screws up hard or, in 10% of the games, he's underestimated, doesn't feed, and his team rolls on to victory.

Yeah Bard was kind of designed for pros rather than solo queue. He's a pretty highly contested support pick in pro play because of his ability to excel when the entire team is on the same page.

I think they do a great job of making champs fun to play even if you're bad.

They have really stepped up their game by giving pros champs with really high skill ceilings while keeping the skill floors reasonable for the average bronze/silver players.

Azir, Bard, Ekko, and now the River King.. Things have come along way since the days of Annie, Nunu, Yi, etc. (easy to learn hard to master). I hope they continue to release both kinds of champs.

Yeah when Azir came out and everyone thought he was garbage I was like..."just wait until the pros master him"

And whaddya know, now he's a top tier mid pick in all regions

The loudest mouths tend to be the smallest minds. The amount of times I hear the things below just bothers me to no end.

1. "Dude, the support is supposed to follow the ADC around and make sure he gets fed"

2. "Kills let you get towers, so yes, kills are important"

3. "That's not a support champ, you're a ****ing troll"

4. "Split pushing is always the answer."

Anytime I hear people complaining (Like with Azir) I know he's probably good. Bard's the only one I've backed because he didn't have an offensive role (is he a tank, is he a mage?) He strikes me as a utility like Nami is. Just not nearly as dangerous.

Yeah stuff like this is kind of why solo queue drives me nuts nowadays. Problem with me is that I'm mechanically very poor which is why I'm just a measly low gold player while my knowledge of the game is like diamond-master level, so when I'm in a game and people say ignorant crap it's really hard to keep my mouth shut. And then when you try to explain the right way of thinking they just rage and the whole team morale is shattered and it's an awful experience.

So that's why I watch more than I play nowadays. It's just more fun for me to see things executed at the highest level.

Bard is a very interesting champ and I still think there's untapped potential. His ult when placed well (which is WAAAAAAAY easier said than done) can be the highest impact teamfight skill in League of Legends. Like seriously there's nothing that can swing a game like that. Plus Magical Journey has so many fascinating uses, it's just a ton of fun to see high level players using Bard and all of the hilarious trickery he's capable of.
