Nami picked in the first game, I'm literally months ahead of the competitive scene. Gambit should probably pick me up as their new support if they want to get carried in Season 3 Worlds.
Wasn't too sure on the new ARAM ( Haven't been on LoL in awhile ) I'm not a huge fan of it, But it's always a good thing to learn & understand new Champions.
Yeah, happened to me. You have to redownload the client patcher, without deleting the old one. Then you take the RADS file from the new one, and replace it with the old one. You don't have to patch the other lolclient either, just the original RADS folder got corrupted. Look it up, there's many tutorials.
