While I said I wanted to get back in to the jungle... I had to jungle yesterday for one of our qualifying matches...
I love Noc! I'll have to check but I'm sure I had 100% win rate with him in S1, S2 and now S3... Need to check LoLking or something as not 100% sure but I don't recall losing that much as him (apart from my Noc top)
See, all you need now is Rocky music and you'll be well on your way back to jungling fo srs
We won after nearly losing - all thanks to Lux and Kog disconnecting heh!

They removed the banners being shown across all gametypes btw, the backlash was too much. So sure, the bronze guy will have a plat border in ranked 5s but he'll still have a bronze border in solo queue and normals which I imagine he will be playing the most.
Tom_D I made a quick Caitlyn guide kinda thingy a while ago if you wanna watch: http://www.twitch.tv/scottyyy/b/414920684
yes I know I've posted it twice before but I think it's helpful
The easiest way to describe how to play Cait is this: is there a minion ready to be last hit? If not, attack the enemy ad/support. That's it. You want to be abusing your range and literally right clicking the enemy ad every 5 seconds. If he lets you hit him, he'll get worn down and lose lane. If he runs away every time, he will be zoned and lose lane. If he tries to trade, you have the range advantage so you'll get 2 hits in while he only gets 1 in.

That's cool, didn't realize they had made that change
Range and mobility. She is a monstrous lane bully because every time you go to farm the back line, you eat an auto attack guaranteed. If you try to trade, you'll get a second, plus at least one wave of caster minion blobs. Or at least that's what I try to do with her
She's not really viable against someone with good gap closing like fizz, kassadin or zed but can hold her own against a fair few tops
she is the best lane zoning clearer for early/mid game. She's hard to bully off farm. You can beat her late game tho. I enjoy caitlyn much. don't always win with her but i do enjoy playing her.
erm, I think she comes back into her own once late game has gone on for a while and she has IE, PD/Shiv, LW and Bt, she hits really hard again and that range doesn't get any shorter ^^
E but I can count the number of times I've been in games that last that long on the fingers of one hand so it could be nonsense
That satisfying crunch as the ult ticks off...

if you make caitlyn to full build and haven't won your team suck xD Gawd i hate games where you go 20+ for 4 and still lose becuase of one bad team fight.
What exactly does that accomplish? Its always people in the top leagues who do it, you never see people in high Silver showing that they can get straight out of Bronze in much the same way. Some people just need the ego-boost I guess.
Think he is trying to get his mate to gold for the Elise skin. But the thing is in high silver most people couldn't get straight out of bronze if I'm honest. I'm not being big headed but I have friends who I don't feel deserve to be in the leagues they are in (I'm better and I'm bad!). I'm one to talk as I hardly do ranked... Started ranked 2 days ago and I've gone from Silver 3 to 1 so pleased about that (won 6 lost 2) I think.
One of my diamond friends is playing on his friends account... Now people moan about ELO hell and how they can't self carry out of ELO hell... He was bronze 5 last night, now in promo matches for bronze 1 lol
Diamond player in "getting out of Bronze" shocker. That is completely irrelevant to the idea of ELO hell, which I might say I generally disagree with.
The point of ELO Hell is that Bronze contains so many more players that deserve to be in Bronze than are capable of leaving Bronze, as a result even by playing very well and carrying it is not easy to get out because of the sporadic nature of team mates skill levels and the number of trolls there are.
The thing is most Bronze players who are capable of leaving Bronze are not Diamond level players yet, they are just slightly better than Bronze, you can't expect them to be capable of carrying games like a Diamond player.
The thing is what most people mistake for ELO hell is just the amount of time it takes to get out of Bronze when you start out at Bronze skill level, it's a slow process made slower by the fact you have to rely on 4 other people to not suck, it's the opposite of a game like Starcraft where getting out of Bronze and into high silver/low gold is incredibly easy because it is only about your personal skill level.

I disagree. If you can't get out of bronze then you're bronze.

I went from b5 to s5 in the end . Why? Because I got better at the game.... these elo boosters should be shot. They do more harm then good. I hope your friend enjoys his pretty banner when hes back in bronze elo bc hes learnt nothing.
He will be laughed at considerable more then he is now.

Well he will be facing bronze players before long if is as bad as he said he is.
Are you replying to me? If so I agree, ELO hell is an illusion, my point was that people mistake the slow climb out of Bronze for ELO hell. If you are stuck in Bronze 5 it's because you deserve to be there.
Which is the dumbest idea Riot has had yet.
