I'm sure he will be a typical OP new champ with insta nerf on next patch
The last 3-4 champs they've released have been bad/ok on release. The last champ I can think that was 'op' on release was probably Lee Sin.

Well, finally hit level 30 last night! Wooo. Oh and Chk4, I was watching you play last night. Good job with Lee Sin!
Surely u just have to turn up as lee sin and the other team will auto surrender
My new hate is yorrick... played a game on tuesday as irelia and there was nothing i could do to him, he had me totally zoned by just throwing his slow minion at me whenever i came near the creep.. he would then get all his last hits, push me to my tower as i wasn't killing anything and then throw all his other minions on me from outside tower range... he did this twice and my tower was gone... had a jungling cho who attempted to save me a couple of times but he laughed at this sissy huge self and just pimp slapped him back as well...
ended the game 0-7 which im fairly sure is my worst game since i first started playing the game
Thankfully after this we played a few more games and i swapped with tash (he took yorrick) and i could go back to jungling nocturne which is the bestest

LOL, I'm never playing Lee Sin again lol. I really don't know how the hell we won that game... Irelia fed, I fed, we had a DC lol. Was a nice team though and they didn't flame me so I was happy
Grats on 30 mate
DJ I was in that game wasn't I? I remember coming to gank him and him nearly taking us both out lol. I then layed down some Yorick smashing the next few games... He just seems so strong. The other guy comes back to lane, within 10 seconds he's at half HP at his tower still having me own him lol.

I recently switched my masteries for Pantheon (my main) from Utility to Offensive and wow. With all armour pen runes and brutalizer I was doing true damage to a Galio and Trynd solo top and raped them. Still lost the game.....
Think I might try this offensive tree out some more before I decide on which to really go with.

Yea people underestimate the offensive tree. I love it although I generally don't spec in to it.
Forgot to say me and Vortex were queuing last night just him and me and we got put in to a game with two other ocukers
Was funny ^^We destroyed them, I nearly died a few times due to tanking the whole team and towers at their nexus but I ate oranges and it was k.

^Nice, I think I've played with you only once before!
Yea we played before 5v5 scrim against other OcUK players, saw your Panth in action, it was scary

I've never quite settled on which to take! Now obviously if I'm Cait, MF or Ashe then I take offensive tree, that's a given.
But when I'm playing AD casters like Ezreal, Urgot or even to some extend vayne then really not sure. The extra cooldowns for me are almost too tempting not to take in particular with Urgot and Ez. Excluding Vayne as I'm pretty naff with her

It's not normally 'a given' to spec 21 into offense with AD carries. I run 9-0-21 as improved exhaust+flash with extra reduced cooldowns on summoners is pretty bonkers. It also gives you added protection as having flash on a lower cooldown is, in my opinion, better than a bit more damage. Items/masteries go a long way to making up not having points in offense whereas nothing makes up for not having points in utility.

Getting sick of this game now I've reached 30. Can tell 90% of the time whether it's a win or a lose at the champion select screen now. All you need is a team with high CC, a couple of tanks and some fairly tanky DPS and you pretty much have the advantage. The only uncertainty left is the skill of the players.
Seems that now I've reached 30, everyone's just playing a high end game using champs that together have an advantage... really ruins the game for me bacause there's no fun in a predictable game and I really don't want to have to make a 5 man team with a set bunch of champions.

People play what the meta requires. Presently that's a team comp that's like what you mentioned. Player skill is a big factor though. I've seen plenty of games where a game has the 0 CC team but are able to win due to better organisation and player skill. The CC teams typically rely on getting a pick on someone who's out of position in some way.
You could try a split push strategy to combat this as so long as your team are able to sit under a tower and you/someone pushes a lane (Shaco, Singed, TF etc) you can win that way.
Any team is only as good as the farm and kills they have. If you play well you can always win.

You can't always win even if you play well, that's my point. You can always win if you play better than them, sure, but if you're evenly matched then champion selection plays a more substantial part in the outcome than I really like. Same with most PVP games, they're about as balanced as a blind mans pictures and I absolutely detest playing champs I don't like because of the tier list. Meh, guess it's just another team game destined for the shelf.
