How about we do a generic tips for newer players section.
Do not purchase a champ just because they steamroll you. That doesn't make that champ good or enjoyable to play as. Make use of free week champs.
Save your IP until level 20 then purchase the following runes:
Hybrid Pen Marks
Armor Seals
Flat MR Glyphs

ideally you want two sets of runes
one for a ranged AD carry (flat AD marks/quints, flat armor seals, flat MR glyphs)
and one for mid AP (flat magic pen marks and AP quints)
then you can mix and match and you'll be good playing 90% of the champions in the game, even if your setup isn't optional
any jungler can typically run those AD runes and be just fine. AP junglers can swap out for the AP setup. the next most desirable runes are armor pen/hybrid pen marks, scaling MR glyphs, scaling health seals, and gold quints, but you could honestly get away with just using those six runesets i listed above

Also GP5 quints for supports OP.
Okay this might be obvious but i don't really optimize Ezreal that much... Can you just build straight damage and rely on passive/boots for AS or do you need nunu to pull that off. Is getting triforce/Shiv/PD just overall better?
Idunno i like BT/LW/IE into defense, but i'm leveling a smurf so i could probably get away with a lot.

BT/shiv is considered typical now because of raw damage, how quickly you can stack shiv with Q, and how much range and damage shiv procs have with Q
throw in an LW somewhere in there and you're good
iceborn gauntlet is pretty good too and is usually seen after BT iirc (and often with lucidity boots)
triforce really isn't as common anymore but is by no means a bad buy on him

I'd get a Vamp Scepter and a Phage first. Phage will be useful no matter what because it's critical for Ezreal's kiting. Then if you're dominating, go the Triforce route so you can snowball. If you're struggling, go the BT route so you do more damage late game.
We should totally start a Smogon LoL Cypher.

I got really bored, so I decided to do a cypher
Getting called out is overrated anyways
Amumu time
Oh hai! You wanna be friends?
Let's hang out 'till the cypher ends!
I'll carry the jungle you'll carry the lane
We'll win the teamfights and we'll carry the game
Throwin a tantrum is what I do best
Curse out my enemies, you do the rest
Are they jumping away like a stupid bug?
Flash, press Q *let me give you a hug*
My bandages are stunning
Toss em over the walls, I'm running and gunning
And fighting and killing and dominating
While you're down in bot lane masturbating
Don't need a tissue for my tears
All I need is blue buff and they'll run in fear
Oh look, the cypher's over - whatever
Please don't leave *let's be friends forever*
Nobody's gonna pay attention to my callout, but whatever
I'm calling out Jumpinthepack
If anyone actually watches this, go bug him if you want
I'm out

So Riot is making their own built-in match replay service. From what it says in the article, it seems like it's basically going to be spectator mode for already finished games. I haven't used neither the Spectator mode nor LOL Replay that much, but do you think the former will replace the latter?
I don't believe the Spectator mode has the same camera mobility that LOL Replay does (where you can change the angle and I believe even rotate the map?) in which case LOL Replay would still be the superior option, especially if you want to make videos like Siv HD, for example.

no free flash.
generally considered to have weaker damage lategame than other ads/worse scaling, while unlike ezreal doesn't have the broken interaction of arcane shift. his ult can totally flop if you blow it, his q is like piltover peacemaker in you never use it to fight you need a poke comp lategame to siege.
mostly no free flash tho, escape adcs are by far more popular, then we have the real big damage output ones (mf's ult + cleaver = superior)

he's been seen occasionally in competitive play at OGN and some of the LCS qualifiers IIRC
he's very strong against the health stacking meta because his W absolutely rips through health and deals magic damage so it's hard to itemize against
max E in lane and you have reliable poke, burst, and waveclear
he's been seen more than corki and tristana lately, and is more of a niche pick. like yeti said, his lack of an escape makes him very risky unless your team is very organized or you're extremely good.

Also he has no passive essentially, his passive is trash compared to Ezreal/Lee Sin/Udyr's in terms of attack speed buffing passives.

I return with a special holiday episode of my well-received series.

Varus is probs my favorite AD carry because I have a bit of a soft spot for him being my first AND second pentakill. At any rate, I don't really get maxing E first when Q seems rather plainly better to me. The CDR per rank is stronger because the base cooldown is shorter, it's a stronger poke spell, it pushes better because you can hit the minions filing down the lane (with plenty of range to spare). E is a bit easier to hit, no argument there, but it isn't difficult to hit Q either because of its stupid hitbox.
Also his ult is like an Ashe arrow except not global so you can't catch people from ridiculous positions sometimes. :[ And none of the percentage-damage carries have a real escape move. Tumble isn't good for anything but dodging slow skillshots and lolstealth out of ult.
ALSO this
