Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

My friend did it. Then I drew her a color coded map, and when we played a game together I'd ping the ground at the turrets range when she'd get close. After a couple games she began avoiding the spot. Though I'd still ping once or twice at the start of the game. I think it's honestly just not even being aware of it. It's not a creep or a person and the cue isn't really noticeable when you're totally hitting that tunnel vision.

Expecting people to understand tower Aggro mechanics after a game or two is like expecting someone to understand why they should control the center of the board while they are still learning when pawns can move one space and when they can move two and Christ why is it going diagonal!
People say to just drain him when he Qs but thats apparently something you have to just randomly guess ahead of time before he actually does it? I dunno. First time I've had to do the matchup and I was just kind of 'Bwuh?' and no one wanted to trade me

you know where he will exit his alpha strike. position yourself close to that and drain him when he's done prancing around like some gay little fairy.
Your q and e both interrupt his healing channel.
I don't see fiddles killing or outfarming the yi, though, so it's a crappy laning experience anyway.
I am a bad person.
I am also a bad person who got a quadra.
Shiv+hydra+hallucinate=lulz. SCUZ ME GAIZ I GOT DIS.
Apparently I mesh well with Shaco. Better then Fiddles at least.

you should do it after he Qs, not before
Master Yi is untargetable during his Q and it will drop the channel from drain as well as a ton of other targeted abilities
AP Yi's only damage in lane is Qing creeps and hoping it bounces to you. Stay further away from your own minions to try and make it miss. If it hits and he runs back, drain a melee creep and you should be back to full health. If he Qs onto you and starts hitting you, drain him instead
you should be able to win off of drain alone unless he's super ahead for some reason. save fear or silence to CC him out his heal and he shouldn't be a huge problem

I admit I was just badly outplayed though. I don't even know what possessed me to try to take him mid. I should have just run Ahri or someone I know, but it seemed fun and I always try to roll up free week champs when I'm just messing around in blind pick when they first change over.

Dxtory is basically a better FRAPS. It's not free though.
And re: Fiddles vs. AP Yi, I can see it being really tough to learn, but once you're comfortable, you should stomp his face in. Fidds is very strong vs. both melee and people without hard CC and Yi is both. Max drain first and laugh and laugh.
Don't forget to let them suffer for a while too. This is the most important thing about playing Fiddles.

I think one of the big bits of that is that fear doesn't have an animation. It's just like 'suddenly no control for you!' when you get near him.
Plus his auto attack sound is annoying as hell.
3 seconds? really? why not drop it to atleast 2.5 or 2, or just give it a traveling missile or something along those lines to give it counterplay.
His kit's kind of stupidly strong, though, so I'm glad that his ease of use is limited.
as i e-q'd to safety with jarvan i briefly wondered if i had somehow traveled back in time
but then their draven got ten million kills and i remembered what season i was in

RE: Lissandra, I must admit I was 100% wrong about her. When she first came out and I was watching people play her on stream, I thought she was going to be OP. Turns out she's actually a bit weak. I'm still going to keep playing her, because ice mages are awesome and her kit is actually pretty fun to play, but her damage pretty much sucks. The kit's not bad with the stun/zhonya option, the E for mobility and the aoe root, but her CDs are all long except Q since her other abilities have CC/mobility on them, so in team fights I find after you ult and root people, there's a lot of trying to kite and throw Qs while waiting on W and E again and I don't love that. Maybe I need to try for some more CDR on her, but imo RoA is a must because you have to be in the mix to hit her W on people for the roots.
He'll show you true terror.
Caitlyn/Nami or Soraka is just mean. Never engage, just poke. All the time, with Soraka, hit Q every time it's off cooldown because fuck it, you have unlimited mana. With Nami well, oh noes, Leona's E'd in, guess I'll just bubble that and let Cait E away with no effort.
Even Nami's E becomes kinda neat when attached to Cait's headshot poke.

If I remember right it was Darius, Kat, Shaco, and... a few others (not Teemo, we banned him from being picked to keep a level playing field) but I'm fairly sure none of those made the list.
I don't worry much when I see Kat on the other team, I just harass her any chance I get, though it's hard to stay in lane if she brings a lot of pots or has a Revolver.
Fids, Singed and Rammus have this ability to just pick someone on the enemy team, isolate them, and get them killed while they do very little and feel powerless. At least with Darius and Kat you can be HITTING THEM REALLY HARD IN THE FACE while they do their thing. Actually, did they ever remove Darius' attack speed slow on his AA modifier?

This time we need a system that doesn't result in 90% of champions nominated only having 1 vote like last time.

I think they should add 2 bans after second or third pick.
I think Darius and Shaco still deserve a slot. Shaco has issues, sure, but a good enemy Shaco just ruins the entire match, even if you end up winning. The only real enjoyment of playing against a Shaco is the schadenfreude from seeing them lose.
Have you tried maxing Lissandra's E before her W and using the E for damage in teamfights? I've only tried her last night but her W felt like something I'd put one point into and then only use in teamfights if our backline was being encroached upon. Her E is slow but you could use her R to set it up.
Cooldown reduction seemed essential on her, definitely. If you're not worried about diving into teamfights to land W that might give you more room to build dmg/cdr.
This is mostly theorycraft since I've played her all of 1 time, but she seemed like a strong champ with a lot of potential. Plus with her current winrate and general opinion of her being bad, she's probably going to get buffed regardless of her actual strength.
Yes, Zileas had a huge thread about it at the end of S2, iirc. The gist of the thread was that Zileas found three reasons to ban something:
1. It's OP as fuck
2. It counters your team (Banning Janna against Jax+Udyr)
3. The enemy team is really good with it (Froggen Anivia)
From that standpoint, Riot didn't see any reason to have more than three bans per team.

But it'd also be pretty neat if they slid 2 extra bans half way through so we could have:
4. It counters your opponents team
Rather than just banning stuff you don't like blind.
Riot doesn't agree with this though, which is sad.
