I'm surprised people are just first picking their tops. Just lets me counter them hard with a champion I haven't played in months and just demolishing them.

You can outplay a counter 95% of the time if you're better than your opponent, like once I picked katarina only for the enemy to pick Kassadin(#1 counter to her), I just waited for him to blow his silence to all in and went like 4-0 against him in lane

That's the thing, they were doing pretty well in their lane for the first few waves of creeps, until they make one mistake.  

vayne is awesome :O i carry so hard with her, I should probably start playing adc more.

You really don't need much AD with her. Just Botrk, Phantom Dancer, IE, Last Whisper.

BotRK is highly overrated IMO, too expensive for what it provides, I don't think it's a very good item for ad carries.

Even if the opponent is considerably worse, if they have any clue how to use a counterpick, they should win the lane. Must have been a derp Kass too, never once have I lost to Katarina as Kass mid. You use your E to harass, don't blow your silence, and if you do, Riftwalk out of Kat's ult. Easy lane.

It's all Vayne needs for early-mid game.

if you rush botrk your damage will be lacking.  

Anyone wanna suggest a top tank? I'm thinking of getting renekton but I need second thoughts on other champions. AD possible.  

Renekton is pretty strong right now, Shen is also pretty good but he's banned most of the time in ranked/draft. You could also try Malph, but he's the same case as Shen. Nasus is pretty good too if you can farm well.  

That NA vs EU game was hilarious, taking baron and completely disregarding their nexus, and doublelifts horrible plays.

also, renekton is super strong in lane but falls off late.  

Finally went from Bronze 5 to Silver 5 in one month. Not much of an accomplishment but my goal was achieved earlier than expected.

Grats man! I remember when I hit silver, felt so relieving to finally get out of bronze.

I just reached Silver II yesterday, don't really feel like I belong much higher, I feel pretty challenged now.

Silver II is real close to gold. From what I've dealt with in my first match, it's just like bronze but with feeders.

Ik, I'm hoping I'll get carried to gold V so that I can be gold and not have to worry about losing it.

to be truthful the promotion to silver means nothing in terms of your opponents, you're still right next to bronze I. You may have slightly higher mmr, but until you get higher up the difficulty wont change much.
