re: Official League of Legends Thread

There are two things to consider:

1) Counters to your top lane champ
2) Your skill level with whatever champ you're choosing

I can counter another player's champion, but that doesn't mean he isn't good enough to overcome it and win lane. (and vice versa)

I've experienced some situations lately top lane, where I can't get an edge on the opposing player and I start falling behind.

At that point, I decide the best thing for the team is to play conservatively and sacrifice some farm for the purpose of not dying.

I would rather play temporarily with an underfarmed top laner than a top laner who gets his farm but gives the enemy laner tons of kills.

Some games, you (anyone in general) will be irrelevant. It's just how it goes sometimes. The key in those games is to not make the enemy laner relevant.

ETA: And yes, that Rengar ripped you and everyone else a new butt hole last night. I'm still walking funny.
