Weird Picks #126: AP Ezreal Support One-Shot Runes & Build Path Guide
Guide to Playing AP Ezreal (Support)
Below is a guide on how to play AP Ezreal. We'll talk about how to play him, the rune set up, the item build, how AP Ezreal works, the drawbacks of AP Ezreal and how to counter it.
Why support over mid lane? Simple, AP Ezreal's waveclear is absolutely terrible. If you want to get shoved into turret 24/7 then mid-lane will do just fine for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for an offensive for-fun support that can 100 to 0 enemy champions at will, try out AP Ezreal support!
He might not pack much (any) crowd-control or much (any) actual support skills, but you know as they say...death is the hardest CC.
Jokes aside, as far as for-fun supports go, he's not the worst and deals a surprisingly high amount of damage. He's one of those champions that pops off like crazy on the enemy team and feeds miserably on your own. If you try him out, just remember to land your skill shots instead of not landing them and hopefully you'll do better than expected.

Top Team Comps #116: Global Laser Objective Stealing Comp
Funnel Objectives
This is by far one of the most fun team comps to try out and it's even better now that you have Senna to supplement with an additional global level ultimate. This team composition has so much range and damage that any enemy team trying to safely do Baron or Dragon is going to have significant trouble trying to avoid getting it stolen right from under their noses.
To keep this comp extra obnoxious, running two Farsight Alteration Trinkets will ensure that your team has maximum coverage on long-range vision.
Check out how to play it below!

Weird Picks #125: River Shen Strategy Runes & Build Path Guide
Guide to Playing River Shen (Support Replacement)
Below is a guide on how to play River Shen. We'll talk about how to play him, the rune set up, the item build, how River Shen works, the drawbacks of River Shen and how to counter it.
I was first turned onto River Shen from a friend who saw it in one of his ranked games. He thought he was getting hard trolled when this Shen walked into River with Exhaust + Ignite and stood there at the beginning of the game doing nothing. Resigned to a defeat, he suddenly realized that this Shen was actually getting of gank after gank, snowballing his team to victory.
Naturally, this could have also gone excitingly poorly...fascinated, I took a look into it and discovered that this is a tactic originating from all the way back in 2015 with Pianta recently releasing a 2019 video as well.
Obviously, after a number of rune and champion reworks the whole concept needs a refresher, but I tried it out in a few normal games and surprisingly...it works and we won a decent amount of games running this comp.

Best Champions Ban Tier List For Ranked Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond - Patch 9.22 November
Ban Kayle High Elo, Ban Ashe and Shaco Everywhere Else
In Patch 9.22 we're seeing a strong divergence of champion picks between higher divisions and lower divisions. At Diamond and Platinum we're seeing a ton of Kayle picks and bans. However, most Diamond players are tending to go Kai'Sa and Xayah over Ashe, so it's not really worth banning her except at Platinum and below.
Meanwhile, Shaco and Blitzcrank continue to perform and are picked frequently at all divisions, warranting a ban on both.

Renekton Mid Lane Melee SLAYER - FOTM Guide
Guide to Playing Mid Lane Renekton
Classically a top lane player, Renekton has found a new home in mid-lane as well. Although he's generally strongest against melee assassins, he can also do quite well against mages due to his incredible damage output. Pre-6 he plays very similar to Nocturne Mid, and then trades off range for damage and survivability.
Overall I'd say it's a very strong pick against melee assassins and decent against other picks.
