I think that the real deal of blitzcrank its the .5 sec AoE instant silence that he can pull of once he grabs someone, or someone dives in (its a combo destroyer, the difference between life and death in lategame may be that .5 sec window). Thresh has lots of cc but no AoE silence (The Box is pretty good, but dodgeable).

Moreover, Blitz is not tanky as Thresh, but he can bait with his passive, and the blitz hook if landed well can isolate someone from his team and posibly make him 1v5 your team. If Thresh activates his hook, he will dive towards the hooked enemy and sometimes this can lead to a bad position and a miserable death for him.

I still think Thresh is stronger and he deserves the ban slots if his team knows how to play with him (the lantern toss is a gamechanger). But its ok to ban blitz if you don't want to be constantly aware of your surrondings just in case you get pulled and die, or you want to use an assassin or another combo-champ and have more chances to successfully do your thing.

The Sivir buff is pretty interesting...

Nice I want a skin too! :D

I thought this day would never come.

Nice buff in tarics W btw

Well i think Taric become pretty strong because of the flat armor shredding and the armor aura packed on his W. This helps your ad team and then counters enemys ad team too (and they are so strong right now, the full ad comps). Maybe Frozen Heart is the new way to go with him.

But the changes on his passive are really nice.

I've been playing Vi a lot recently and here's some advice:

- If she is laning, don't let her win the lane. Her most awesome game phase is her mid game. If she's jungling, avoid being ganked at all costs.

- Make your bruisers/tanks focus her. Darius will destroy her if he gets to grab her in the right situation.

- CC her AFTER shes uses her ult.

- Burst her quickly before she gets to do something important. She is stronger the longer the fight thanks to shield + W.

- Beware of combos like Vi + Orianna, Vi + Amumu, Vi + Alistar, etc. 

She has a very versatile role in teamfights. Some times I go full damage and focus easy targets, but if my team already has a strong diving composition, I can go offtank and focus annoying targets that you don't want to use their combos in the fight (Darius, Katarina, Amumu, Nasus are great examples of people that you don't want fighting freely).

Excuse my bad english, its not my former languaje. Hope you can understand this reply :D

Vi's damage falls of lategame, i've been playing her recently and the best option is to go full damage on first 2 items, then go for the "don't focus me" items (randuin's, guardian angel and others). She can be played like a tanky dps, but not a hard tank like naut or amumu. Same goes for J4, but he is more like an offtank because his skillset is full of agression xD

Tanks aren't there to do damage, they are just there to take damage and bring cc for the rest of the team to do the dirty work.

"Jungling still has no tutorial and becomes more of a crap shoot as to if your jungler knows what to do."

ROFL

I would love a jungle tutorial made by Phreak :D

Well Annie can support too. And don't tell anyone... but she can jungle too ^^

Well thats stupidity, and you can't fight stupidity with words. They just wont get it.

But Olaf and Darius can excuse themselves because they are mainly tanks (andthey are great antitanks thanks to that true damage), but gapcloser guys like Irelia, Kz, Jax or Diana can't.
