Must... not... make... joke about... not knowing... how to play... IRELIA!

Also, I'd probably take a dump on you if you played Wukong mid.
In all seriousness Annie, Karthus, or Anivia would have a field day with you, and Fizz being AP Melee will just have all sorts of trouble. Gotta expand those horizons man.

Annie? Karthus? ANIVIA? Have you ever played a game with me before? You'd be surprised with my wukong mid.
Only person I have a hard time with is Morgana and Lux. Long range snare/slows suck, but not hard to get around.

Those are my bests not my only mids. ._.
I also use Cass, Ziggs, Anivia (anyone remember when my anivia was like my fizz, where I was like if I'm anivia it's gg?)

Leggo', I'll play against you 1v1 mid on friday 2 PM or so CST. That's when I'm free.

We'll be posting an announcement that unveils the season end date as well a bunch of other juicy tidbits in the next couple weeks. Sit tight!

EDIT: Changed happy face to sad face to better reflect the fact that I wish I could post all the infos right now. But seriously, wait for the announcement, there's some cool stuff in store for everyone who plays ranked.

[Duelman]

My elo decayed again today!

<-- Am mad.

[Dredragon]

Lol, I just got home now. xD
I'll be on all night, come at me bro. c:

[KajitiSouls]

It's been said in the EUNE forums that if you're currently a specific tier by the time the rewards announcement hits, then you're good to go. ...unless you intentionally nuke your elo really hard or something, I dunno. It has yet to be seen what the exact details are in regards to the end of S2.

Crap, still got 1.5k elo to go.

[Dredragon]

When it said 10 matchmades for the kayle skin, does that mean like 10 solo q ranked or what.
Also corn, c'mon let's start duo'ing already aaaaa

...and the rewards are announced!

The Season Two World Championship is approaching, and with it, the end of the competitive season on October 23, 2012. And the end of Season Two brings Season Two rewards. You’ll earn some exciting rewards this season, including new summoner icons, loading screen borders, profile banners, forum badges, and a stunning skin. We’ll tell you about those in a minute.

First, we’ve got some news about changes to the ladder and rating system that’ll make your race for the finish a lot more rewarding. With the Mid September Patch we’ll be rolling out improvements to Ranked play. In Season Three, we’ll look to make other changes and improvements.

Here’s the scoop.

The Changes:

• Season 2 rewards will be based on the highest rating you achieve between now and the end of the season. Once you’ve achieved a tier, you’ll have it for good, and playing more games can only help you out. In order to do this, we are resetting Top Rating for all players to their Current Rating and will be using Top Rating to determine end-of-season reward tiers.
• We’re adding a whole new tier! Diamond will be at the top and the other tiers have expanded so that everyone who becomes ranked will qualify for a tier and the corresponding rewards. Players who joined a team on or after September 1 will also need to win five games with that team to qualify for rewards.
• We’ve upgraded the medal art on your summoner profile. At each new tier, you’ll unlock an awesome new medal.
• Tiers will now be subdivided into rating “ranks”. These ranks inform you of how close you are to moving up to the next tier. Moving up a rank also enhances your summoner profile medal.

The Rewards:

Bronze tier:

• Bronze summoner icon for each queue (3v3 team, 5v5 solo, or 5v5 team) in which you are Bronze tier

Silver tier:

• Silver border on the game loading screen
• Silver summoner icon for each queue in which you are Silver tier

Gold tier:

• War Hero Janna skin
• Gold banner trim in summoner profile
• Gold border on the game loading screen
• Gold summoner icon for each queue in which you are Gold tier

Platinum tier:

• Platinum forum badge
• War Hero Janna skin
• Platinum banner trim in summoner profile
• Platinum border on the game loading screen
• Platinum summoner icon for each queue in which you are Platinum tier

Diamond:

• Diamond forum badge
• War Hero Janna skin
• Diamond banner trim in summoner profile
• Diamond border on the game loading screen
• Diamond summoner icon for each queue in which you are Diamond tier

Played in All Queues: achieved a tier in 5v5 solo, 5v5 team, and 3v3 team
Special summoner icon based on the lowest tier achieved in the three queues

You’ll reap your rewards shortly after the end of the season, but be on the lookout for sneak peeks of the skin, badges and other goods in the coming weeks. GLHF!

• Gold: 1500 - 1849 (top 5-10%)
• Platinum: 1850 - 2199 (top 1-0.5%)
• Diamond: > 2199 (top 0.1-0.05%)

...and the rewards are announced!

Just looked at the cutoff point for the rankings. I was somewhat off (by 50 ELO) on what ELO the Diamond Tier would start off at.

Otherwise, this is really exciting! Though, inb4 the "bronze" rankings become insignificant, despite Riot's very good intentions

[Raul]

I'm getting really tempted to start playing ranked though that's probably an awful idea.

[Duelman]

Yeah I am gonna have to practice up a bit and get some ranked games in before the end of s2.

[Corn]

Oh god, it is not worth it to go from 12XX to 1500l I'll stick with my silver, lol.

[Derosis]

Oh god, it is not worth it to go from 12XX to 1500l I'll stick with my silver, lol.

Whatever was your top is your reward. If you went from 1550 to 800 elo. You'll still keep gold IV rewards.

[Raul]

Alright. I think my shopping list before I start ranked is basically:
Irelia, Taric, Cho, maybe Jayce, maybe Gragas, maybe Nautilus, maybe Shyvana, maybe Skarner, maybe Maokai. I feel like I need a better pick at mid than what I currently have, and Gragas is super fun. I'm only tempted to get Jayce because of how he's in vogue right now, but that probably won't last very long. Naut/Shyv/Skar/Mao are on there because I feel like I need more good junglers. I've got Ali, Olaf, Amumu, Mundo, Jarvan, Malphite, and Nunu who I am competent with, and a couple others that I haven't really tried much or am not great with (Rammus, Riven, Fiddle). Feels like I need more options. I have trouble with Mundo so Shyvana fits into his role but is better (and safer), I don't have a good high-CC jungler besides Alistar who is permabanned so Naut is an option, and Skarner and Maokai are just good but I'm not sure if they're worth it yet.
Also some more pineappleing runes including MS quints which are gonna take forever. pineapple those.

[Dredragon]

Awesome, I'm silver!
C'mon guys, no harm in doing ranked now! (for me anyway, I'ma silverrr!)
