I can also advocate wukong. He's on free week right now if you want to try him.
Really? I could have sworn he was on last week's rotation, either way he'll be gone by tomorrow.


@Ancre
Teemo is good at hit and run. He can deal a lot of damage in a few seconds, and be gone before you know it. His second ability and his ultimate will make it a pain to even try chasing him. Though often times you will be the focus of the enemy team during teamfights... My advice for him is to always have an escape plan, because some people really love to gank him.

I was a support Wukong once, with a Caitlyn.  I went tanky, and it worked surprisingly well o_O  Guess my Q upped her damage a lot?
That lane sounds like it would have tons of bush control. Traps and stealth man. Also yeah I was wrong about the free week and they rotated it today. My bad.

Saddest thing in this game is going Soraka, spending the whole game in OCD healing mom mode and nobody giving any honour for teamwork, repeatedly.  :'( Silly that going mid or tank and just killing heaps is almost guaranteed to get it from someone, but killing absolutely nothing and focusing entirely on keeping everyone else alive wont, which is ironically the more stressful (but rewarding, oh so rewarding) option.

Ragiest thing is again going support Soraka and having a lanemate who constantly gets killed, as trying to hold off 2 people as her is doomed to fail. I only seem to get annoyed at people for sucking when I'm going full support. I think I need to go back to a few games as support Cho'Gath and just unwind eating people.
I honor supports if I'm in the lane with them and they do something phenomenal. Typically, this only happens if they do a good job and I'm ADC. I mean, not every support does well, and Soraka is more of a "I expect you to heal" kind of support. Just as I expect a carry to carry. Now, if you make a play, I'll honor you (Perfect ult to save someone's life in a fight when you're not in that lane would be one example.) If you just spam heals and mana restore, I probably won't honor you, because that's just playing Soraka. But, if you manage to save my life three times in a row, then you're going beyond and above the role of support, and I'll make sure everyone honors you.

That's just how I see it. I don't honor unless they do something honor worthy. I don't honor Katarinas that get 30 kills. And I don't honor Eves, period. But, you 1v5 a team, and I'll honor that. You manage to steal a baron, get some honor. What's that? Managed to take down their nexus by yourself in a sneak attack play? Honor's on the house!

True there, it generally takes something really noteworthy to get me to honour people as well, though after having done it I'd definitely anyone who goes the selfless support route (by that I mean stuff like "screw killing at all my entire focus is keeping you all alive", it's rather funny to be able to count your kills against everything on one hand at the end of a game) and does it well a teamwork just on principle now.

It's just the oddness of when everyone else throws them out that was annoying me. In the example you gave, the Kat with 30 kills would definitely get one from a lot of people for no reason in my experience, I've had plenty of games as mid or something where I've just killed heaps then afterwards wondered "why did I get teamworks??".

I play support more than any other role. I played a game as Blitz yesterday where I went 4/5/35. (One of those kills was by accident, there others were cleanup) Now that one got me some teamwork honor.

The champs don't rotate until tomorrow morning, so if you want to try Wukong, you can do so tonight.

Honor, hahaha. I give out friendly a lot, generally to folks that just aren't being an arse. Silence for most of the game and a gg at the end will usually net that from me, but more is good, too.

I don't do PvP, though (or at least not very often), and I don't give out teamwork for vs. AI games, so... yeah. Friendly is about all I ever give out.

This. Nidalee, Ahri, and Kassadin especially. Evelynn's not so much 'jump in, do damage, jump out' as she is 'come out of stealth in the middle of a teamfight, kill the entire enemy team, and push to victory'. Shaco's cooldowns are too long, IMO.

Depends on the Eve but she can easily get into fight, nuke down target and then escape super quick.

Yeah Shaco was a bit iffy on that list actually but with his Shac in a box and Hallucinate he can get out of fights pretty quickly as well, and that 11 second cooldown should be longer on his Q for how good it is, 11 seconds should be rank 5.

Poppy isn't really hit and run, it's about destroying everyone while shouting "Diplomatic Immunity!" before your ult target can go "It's just been revoked!"
While we're on the topic, Lee Sin can actually do some really crazy diving. His Q and W provide him with escapes in most situations.

These are exactly the kind of people who don't deserve honor. It's intended for people who go above and beyond the bare minimum of friendliness or teamwork.

If I can remember you having a positive impact on the game in the end, I'll give you honor. It can just be a funny joke or two for friendly/honorable opponent, helping coordinate ganks and telling me when your lane is warded for teamwork, and teaching someone something for helpful. Helpful is the rarest (at least when you're a level 30 with 700+ wins), but I tend to give it out a bit around each champion release for people who actually explain new things instead of going "read the patch notes noob".

That is above and beyond the bare minimum of friendliness and teamwork, though :-\

Maybe I've been online too long or somethin', I'unno. Simple civility is generally something I'm pretty content with saying "Keep doing that" towards.

What's everyone's thoughts on the league system so far? I'm liking it, I hover around the bottom of bronze and haven't gotten a troll yet.

Well I'm finally ready to move on from Co-op vs AI matches now and actually solo queue normal matches.

I still have some work to do to be decent, but this is a very encouraging sign.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Still need to improve thro. I forgot about upgrading my boots, and I still need work on certain parts of my play. However I'm starting to improve enough to make me a standout amongst my mates sometimes.

I got into the 4th league of Silver. It's been a mixed bag so far, with both decent teams and idiots present, and only a single complete douchebag so far who ruined a game.

Honestly it is getting to the point where I think they should just eliminate one of the Magic slots.

VERY FEW if any champions can sacrifice blink (or whatever the short range teleport is called) and many of the ones who do are better with blink anyhow.

As well just eliminate the level cap. Make it available at level 1.

Just remove the left over trash.

Wait, what? You mean to say you've only played Co-op from level 1 to 30? Or am I misunderstanding?  :o

Got into a ranked match, our captain is the worst I've ever seen. He only banned champs that were a threat to his Zyra which he instalocked, thus allowing the enemy team to get both Shen and  Blitz.

Gorramit this is going to be one sucky match :C
