Am i the only one who really, really doesn't like the new holiday themed map. The colours are hideous. It gives me a headache to look at

Im not to keen on it either m8.
Yet to play Morg since her nerf, hopefully she wont be too bad. Also the hitbox of darkbinding.. I mean come on, it's not like it was easy hitting with it anyway, plus the fact that minions can take the hit. Imo this nerf was not needed at all.
On a plus point Miss Fortune doesn't seem to be any worse than before

I thought i would have a crack at a quick general purpose team composition guide. If you disagree with anything, or would like to add anything, please post it
A general guide to team composition and good picking practice.
Rule 1) First come, first serve, but don't be an ass
In general, many people come into a game with a desired champion already in mind. That is fine however it is a better mindset to pick in compliment to the team, not to what you want to play. People who insta-pick-and-lock will play no other champion but that which they choose, so unless your prepared to queue dodge you must pick around them. For example, if you wanted to play support, but somebody has insta picked support, don’t play a support! It is better to select your desired champion, see how the team picks around you, and be prepared to switch out if you need to.
Rule 2) Spread the magic damage and attack damage
If im playing amumu and all the opposition are attack damage, I will stack sunfires and slaughter you all. If im playing amumu and all the opposition are magic damage, I will stack magic resist and your efforts will be like rain droplets falling on concrete. Every team MUST have an even spread of magic damage and attack damage to prevent the enemy from defensively counter building you.
Rule 3) Unless deliberate, always run first carry, second carry, support and fill with tankables
This is the multi-vitamin formulae for a healthy team immune system
Rule 4) Unless deliberate, check your CC, pushing power and raw damage output
Before the game starts, consider NOW whether you have enough of the above to secure a victory. Its no good getting kills if you cant push. Its no good pushing if you cant get kills. Its no good trying to kill if the enemy can just run away from you. CC to lock down, damage to kill and pushing to take towers. Unless you have composed your team for some strategic goal, for instance extreme pushing for the early win/surrender, follow this rule.
Rule 5) Only jungle if your team has someone who can 2v1 without dying
It is no good planning to jungle if you abandon a lane that cant hold out on its own right. Only play this strategy if your team can support you.
Anything else?

long shot i know, but any1 up for some games tonight?
We played an Awesome Game tonight - I think it was a pure OCUK affair - Joop/youself/Me/Ripp and Karashur

Eve totally mashed us at the beginning, till midgame and slightly beyond it looked like game over but we all hung in there started catching up on the team kills and got the win. Game is unbeatable when it plays like this and tbh if we had lost i'd have still been happy. Great team work from all.
Looks like a good game
Ive just hit level 20 now so i can get me some decent runes to create some sivir ownage

If anyone wants a few rounds, feel free to drop me a friends invite (alexrose1uk), I'll usually happily play a round or two if I'm online and not ingame at the time
I'm not amazing, but I do have fun with Mordekaiser (providing I dont get picked on beause his DPS isn't amazingly high)

Do quints work properly .I just bought the movement speed quint +1.5% but i played as sivir and my movement was still 310
have you made sure you have equipped (and saved them) on your rune page?

Yeah i made sure that the runes where saved as for some reason i had set up both pages the same.I might clear them all and start again.I mentioned earlier in this thread that i was adding altricity runes for attack speed but it wasnt going above 0.798.
On a side note is it worth getting the +2% exp quint at all or does in not make much difference really?
cheers
