Soooo when is riot going to nerf ziggs? He is supremely frustrating to play against and playing him bot negates almost all his weaknesses. He's sitting on a 53% wr in plat+ right now and basically has no adc counters. You can't fight him because he outranges and out-trades most adc's, and even if you can, he just perma pushes you to tower and murders your plates so you never get the chance. There's no adc that can match his push, especially after he has lost chapter, he 1 shots the wave with q. You basically have to play skillshot dodging simulator under your tower while you pray that your jg/mid come to gank. If they don't, goodbye bot tower. And its not even like he's just a lane bully, la

I've noticed almost every high elo/pro player starting boots+4 pots on jhin and taking biscuits/timewarp tonic secondary. Can anyone explain why or what the advantage is over dorans blade? They even take it into matchups where jhin traditionally bullies the enemy adc like kai'sa/ezreal. Is Jhin a scaling pick now? Or are they using it to outsustain and get pressure?

I've been recovering from a hard tilt streak (d2 -> p2) and have been watching vods/replays and looking at data on mobilytics to try and re-evaluate the way I play. One thing I've noticed is that the site says I have a low kill score and am a KDA player, it also says I have a lower average dpm and damage share than my elo (I play ADC). Watching replays I notice I am often catching sidewaves while my team is skirmishing. I tend to prioritize good wave managment and optimal back timings. I always make sure I show up for fights around objectives, the encounters i'm talking about are more like your jungler gets caught stealing and suddenly its a 5v5, except i'm catching bot wave, so its 4v5.

Anyone have suggestions for a good Canucks podcast? I've been listening to canucks central which is just a recording of the radio show on 650 but its getting a bit stale as they never really go in depth.

Ideally something that breaks down matches in more depth than "x played well", "markstrom looked good".

How hard is it to defer an exam without a good reason if it's your first one? Online it says your first deferral can get passed without documentation but you still need "a valid reason". I have all my exams on the 13th or before then one on the 20th. I really dont want to be stuck in Montreal for that extra week, would I be able to get away with deferring it without an actual reason?

Title. I've been struggling to do both at the same time. It feels like I'm either stuck grinding mindlessly and not really improving, or I'm feeding in all my games while focusing on improving certain aspects/new champions.

How can I incorporate both mindsets into my ranked games?

I’m not sure why but my essence collector ward skin just disappeared from my inventory a few days back and hasn’t returned. Anyone know if this is intentional or not? Was it a temporary item or do I need to contact rito support?
