Managed to talk some sense into the team and refunded Xin to buy Diana. Sad part was I got jungle Teemo to work and at times (probably more their skill) out leveled and out controlled the enemy jungle Xin. It was depressing since Teemo struggles to get wolves done with 3 pots.

People underestimate Taric. He can do a ton of damage with very little money because his ratios are high and his ult is the doomhammer
Nothing like diving the guy who thinks he's safe under his tower -> E -> R -> W -> Q and escape.
EDIT:
Actually while we're all here who is excited for the new season 3 changes? I heard new items for AD casters and thought "Finally! Assassins will be getting some love." New reworked store menu and HUD coming up, new jungle. And we are definitely getting new items. Recently released screens of the new store menu show some item icons we've never seen before. Excited I am

JohnnoM wrote: No more heart of gold in 5v5? NNONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!
That's an odd decision too. Not sure why they made it. Heart of Gold was one of the more pricy Gp5 items (is it the most expensive?) and some top laners really needed it.

While I like HoG there's still plenty of other gold generating items so it's not too bad.
It is terrible and has ruined everything I have ever loved.
Solotop as Cho'gath or Warwick has been very fun lately.

Well the new champ seems interesting, probably more so to me because it's another support. Which is like increasing my champion choices from 5 or so to 6.
In other news, I am the Lord of Darius playing. I went 29/10/10 in a game yesterday, and the day before 18/3/10 with Malzahar.
All sacrifices to my godliness must be of the RP variety.

Good job lol. AAAARRRGGGHHH! Just had the worst game. First off, there were 3 AP and 2 AD carries on my team, secondly two of the idiot ap carries went BOT together, leaving me, graves, with a yi on top. Then they all kept saying " oh its late, 10 o'clock im falling asleep." They fed teemo of all people. Yay.

I love this game. Sure, you get your occasional jerks- but last night I had a lovely hour long game where my carry and I were getting demolished by unanswered quad ganks despite my wards, and I ended up complementing the excellent Leona and Nunu who had made that possible. 40 minutes of friendly banter, and honest recognition of great plays later, we managed to defeat them thanks to our jungle Rammus, and his excellent synergy with my Lulu.
The highlight was definitely a fight around baron which devastated our teams. They had two under 20% heroes beating on Rammus, who was covering our escape, and I had made it to safety with very little life- all others were dead. Seeing Rammus still in danger, I ran back, shielded him and got off glitterlance and a whimsy on the jax before nunu killed me. It was enough, and he got both of them, with maybe 100 hp left.
I just couldn't honor everyone but our Graves enough- he was trying to surrender at 20.
