I think that is a trophy team!!
I tried telling Scooty that. He has two speeds. Rush out to certain death but maybe score a penta kill along the way, or sit under his turret getting nothing. I tried to explain taking advantage of an opportunity the enemy provides and he didn't get it. He kept saying "So go out and attack them?"
"No. Farm but take advantage of opportunities."
"So, just sit under the turret and not get gold and xp?"
"No. Farm and take advantage of opportunities."
Back and forth and whole bunch until I gave up.
Then I started playing games with him. He said if he was Teemo and he had a ranged carry, they would own. So I went Ashe. The first two games he yelled at me for not rushing in with him. Any other Ashe he's ever played with would slow the enemy down so that he could keep shooting and kill them. So I started rushing in with him. Against and Alistar and a Vayne. It didn't work out at all. He said at that point that I was just feeding to make a point. We almost kill Alistar once and he was mad I didn't enter the fight soon enough. FYI, I initiated the fight. I was hitting him the whole time. I took a turret shot trying to keep hitting him.
I have no idea what world he lives in. Then he walks up behind and reads a portion of this post and says that I'm shit talking him on the forums. That's all we do here. We shit talk Scooty. He can't be reasoned with. I give up.

Apparently if Gordo leaves town it's the end of LoL.
I've been on every night, and have only seen Stranger online. I haven't even seen Cake or Scooty in Steam. I've seen Stranger in Steam.
I suppose it's a nice break though. I've been playing new purchases from the Steam sale.

Go to the Steam thread and post what you bought. I'm curious what finally got you to open your wallet.

You mean besides LoL?
I've been busy as crazy. I would have been MIA even if Gordon was playing.
I told Scooty that I don't want to play with him because it causes too much stress. Told him you guys could play with him or me, but not both. He equates that to being kicked off the team by everyone. I said that was false and it only meant that I wouldn't be playing at the same time. For a while, he assumed we were all playing without him too. I let him think it just because I could. It was just this past weekend that I let him know we hadn't played in so long. Anyway, he has both been busy with friends and also assuming no one wanted to play with him.
Funny side note: He said that if I'm not going to play with him, I have to reimburse him for all the skins and champs that he bought so he could play the game. I laughed really loud and for a long time.

That is funny.
You can show this to Scooty:
I want Scooty to play LoL with us. I didn't "kick him off the team" the first time, and I'm not kicking him off now.
I hope you two can figure out a way to make it work. Random fifths suck.

Also, since Stranger wants to get into the jungle with Skarner or Udyr, tell Scooty he has a prime opportunity to switch away from Caitlyn (Hooray!). He should break out Varus, and lane with me as Teemo.
With Teemo, I play far more conservative because enemies like to target Teemo and his 4 hit points. So if he keeps dying in lane with Teemo, while Teemo lives, then he won't be able to deny that he's being too aggressive.

I was playing Ashe, conservatively, and he would die because I wasn't entering the fight as well. No denying the aggression.
He's been going top solo looking for a new role. I mentioned mid Lux. He's been doing Warwick and Renekton at top. He's open to suggestions. I'm not sure what to suggest to fit with the rest of the team. But one thing that keeps coming up is that Gordon plays a lot of Singed. Scooty figures it's so he can bring his A game every time. If we never go ranked, then that's fine. But otherwise. . . It also made me wonder if there is much of a difference between Singed when he's played up top or as support at bottom. He seems to have the same affect on the game either way. Meaning, he does his job. He initiates and tanks and creates opportunities equally from either lane.

Really the lesson to take away from it is that GORDON gets it done.
Nasus is my alternate for ranked, and I am proficient at GP, and I played a lot of Galio at one point as yet another alternate tank, but then we stopped playing ranked. I still own Galio.
I like Singed because it is fun to fuck people up with Singed. You can almost hear them shitting themselves over IP when I glue them down and flip them away from their friends.

As far as me doing well solo or at bottom, at lest you know I am reliable to take are of top solo, even when they don't have a jungler and I got 2 assholes up there. I need help sometimes vs. 2, but I still generally get it done.
I imagine a game could be lost solely because we have someone who can't hold top. Again, GORDON gets it done.

Well, my point was "Gordon is wasting top".
I want to see more Nasus. Just because.

GORDON wastes top? I keep them under my turret. If mid and bottom didn't constantly need help, our jungler would have a shitload of ganking opportunities in my lane, but I rarely see our jungler. Because he is always saving mid and bottom.

Teemo and nasus at bot, hecarim in the jungle, ziggs mid, and scooty top as an ad. Pantheon might work good due to his global jump
I am off Friday so I can play late Thursday night

Interesting games last night.
Lots of rust, which is the same experience we had after our last week long break.
I watched that TT with Gordo, Cake, and Scooty, and really thought you guys were going to pull out the victory. I was really impressed with Scooty's escapes with Kassadin, but not the damage he was dealing. Also, I noticed Scooty standing still for long periods of time. I figured he was typing?
Now you guys couldn't see because only the spectators can see the whole map, but their Singed won that game with help from Riven. Malzahar was a non-factor and spent large portions of time just dancing in dragon spawn. I'm serious.
I'm sure Gordo figured that their Singed would be awesome pre-game because not only did he have a number in his name, but that number helped to spell a number! 
For the next two TT games, I was Teemo, Cake was Ashe, and Stranger was Hecarim at top.
First game we faced Darius, Master Yi (AP), and Kayle. Despite us giving up a lot of kills, we got the win. I got my ass kicked early on as Kayle would slow me and Darius would grab me. However around mid game, we were starting to get items and could withstand more than one hit. We scored an ace, pushed all the way to their Nexus, and retreated. They all resurrected, pushed our bot lane to the inner turret, but didn't realize that little Teemo had flash and ran all the way to their base through the jungle. With their inhibitor and middle turret down there was no defense for their nexus, and they were "mad bro" when I typed "gg'.
Second game we got beat up pretty good. Ashe and Teemo met a Ezreal and Ahri who are much better early game champs. I've never been so blocked off from farm. Their abilities had too much range and damage. Meanwhile, Teemo and Ashe are easy kills early game.
