But I brought out my pitchfork...

Hi, I was the Zac in this game. I was also streaming this game so you can see it from my perspective here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/849096470?filter=archives&sort=time

First I want to say sorry if you had a bad experience, as I could have stepped in sooner and asked the zed to tone it back (ended up asking him to around ~9 minutes into the game). I didn't like that he was typing in all chat, but it didn't strike me as something that was super out of line or anything (first thing he said in all chat was at 3:30 in game time), and I would rather people draw their own conclusions on how it all played out.

Regardless, I could have stepped in and done more. I ended up saying someth...

Kassadin's ult is now global.

LOL

Good CC she peels well.

Me like.

clearly weak, clunky, understated, squishy, pitiful lane, no purpose in the game, worse leona

Big sadge.

Thank you for the fun game!

Ahri, Annie: Situational if you are snowballing and going for burst build.

Lux, Neeko, Lissandra, Syndra, Ori: Mages that can trigger either the Immobilize condition or the range condition easily.

Velkoz, Xerath, Ziggs, Zoe: Poke champs that can trigger the ranged condition easily.

Untested:

Seraphine: I think it's good on her due to E and R, but it might not be better than Mythic -> Rylais/Cosmic Drive -> Rylais/Cosmic Drive since she is very good with Ability Haste and the Rylais for E synergy.

Taliyah: I think this item is pretty underrated on Taliyah. It is quite easy for her to trigger the max range condition. TF: If you are snowballing and don't want to go Zhonyas or RFC 3rd after Lich Bane, Horizon could be a good option.

I've only played about 5 Leblanc games this Season, but Lich, Nashors, Void, Banshee/Zhonya and Cosmic Drive have all seemed situationally viable on her. Nashor high AP value lets you one shot backline minions and perform slightly better in the side lane, especially against more tanky oriented fighters that you can kite and auto safely. I would go Nashors if I knew I was going to be getting value out of playing the sidelane, especially if I was going for more macro oriented with TP.

For Mythic, I think Ludens and Night Harvester are both decent, though you have to be a bit more careful with mana on Night Harvester and going Doran after Corrupting is mandatory, rather than Ludens where you can go straight into Mythic.

Out of these, I think Cosmic Drive is the most underrated. In a fast paced game, where fights are constantly breaking out (most solo queue games), I would expect Cosmic Drive to be quite performant, as you can capitalize on your low W cooldown for fig...

Your build sounds decent but I would encourage you to think when other Mythics could be better. Most of the items that people are building on Live are familiar but not necessarily optimal. I'd expect them to get closer once the season starts and people have time to try out different things. Theoretically, I'd expect Rocketbelt and Night Harvester to be situationally good. (harvester if you are taking lots of group fights and Rocketbelt if you are playing against a champion that is hard to gap close against eg. Orianna, Xerath, etc.) I would not expect harvester to be performant against someone like Xerath at diamond or above as you are paying a lot of opportunity cost by not being able to force engages with Protobelt. However, if you're not that high, then kitey champions are probably frequently mispositioning, so Night Harvester might still pay off. At high ELO, I wouldn't expect that to happen as often, though. Liandrys is likely decent against multiple tanks.

I pretty much learned soley for arigarumi but since learning I have done a scarf or two! I make my cats a lot of catnip stuffed toys. I'll probably start a few beanies here in a bit since I have so much left over gradient yarn but not enough for a blanket. Might try my hand at a little legend once I'm better at my fundamentals.

Eh, there's more you could do here.

Counter-jungling a camp does two things:

1. I get Gold/XP
2. You don't get Gold/XP

Making up numbers, if Raptors is "+200/-200" and Krugs is "+100/-400" then taking Krugs is still potentially the better choice. There are other considerations like how likely is the enemy jungler going to come back to this camp before it respawns (as you mentioned) and smaller points like how much time would they have spent on the camp itself. Raptors may well be the right call, but denying the full value of Krugs to an opposing jungler is relevant, too.

There's one thing missing from this analysis:

How good is Krugs compared to each of the three other camps?

This is a good analysis for "Krugs are better on not-Ivern if they can take them efficiently." But there is still relevant information missing like, "no, really, it's half as much as Wolves, don't even bother." Because your teammates can't always hit that camp. (And then there's also a minor point in that Ivern, like all junglers, gets more XP from camps than non-junglers. Not enough to make up the difference, but still relevant data.)

Badass.
