Oh okay. Normals are a fair game. I actually thought you were referring to ranked, in which my tolerance to shenanigans is pretty low unless, as I said, is backed up. I just don't trust no one to be good unless I can actually see them prove it.

And really, Takmerdinger. What does he bloody bring? Pushing power? Better as AP. Initiation? Haha no. Peeling? Nope. DPS? Yes, but far worse than what an actual tank or an actual AP would bring. It's just that his job is to push as Heimerdinger, and not buying AP hurts that pushing. He has not a kit made to be awesome at teamfighting compared to what tanks do have (CC and base damage, I mean). Also: level one stats are purely asking for someone to blow him up to hell and back. Annie does make sense as a jungle because of her shield, spammable Q, strong AoE W, plus strong ganks. She just bleeds too much in the first runs. She has an okay kit for that. Tankmerdinger has nothing of the sort that would support his tanking, not even stats.

Redarding Sona: at least Renekton rapes her in lane. Her only damage skill plus autoatacks have less than the 900 combined range of Renekton's dashes. Add to that 450 base health and 11,3 base armor. That's literally on the 3 armor mark after standard armor penetration reds. Plus Renektons high bases and higer movespeed. So cool. Go face an aggresive Renekton that actually has a clue to what he is doing. And good luck with it. Have you ever seen pro replays with Knifecat stabbing the hell out of a dual bot lane? Because it is a thing. And he has less threat range than Renekton, since you can stay out of the bushes. Sorry, but some mages are good at kiting (Swain, Karma, Viktor, Kennen), some are not. Nothing personal. Sona may be ok against no gap closing champions, but no dice against gapclosing champions, she has absolutely no way to answer all ins, since she is a low mobility poke champ with not that great of a range on her poke.

Also, Jayce not good at pokes. Really? It's like... the thing Jayce has over the whole top lane, his insane poking. The second most insane poke in the game, actually, just behind Nidalee.
