So I'm only lvl 21, settled on Anivia as my go to champion and typically play a mana intensive laning phase. I've dedicated my Seals to Mp5/level and my Glyphs to AP/Level. My Quints are presently 2 Mp5/level, I plan on making the 3rd an AP/level and changing one of my Mp5/level quints to another AP/level quint once I get my last 3 seal slots. So in other words, I should end up with 9 Mp5/level Seals, 1 Mp5/level Quint, 9 AP/level Glyphs, 2 Ap/level Quints. Does this sound reasonable and what should my Marks be? More AP/level or Spell Pen?

Presently I have Summoners Insight, Expanded Mind, Improved Recall, Swiftness, Meditation, Transmutation, Runic Affinity, Sage, Intelligence and Mastermind all maxed out. 8 of 9 Offensive masteries seem pretty common sense with 3 points Mental Force, 4 points Sorcery and 1 point Arcane Knowledge... but the last point, should it go to maxing Mental Force or go with Summoner's Wrath for ignite?

My typical ability order in the mid lane is to just max out Q and E (Priority to E for most champs) before putting a point into W, and grabbing R on 6 vs most champs though stronger solo laners I typically push it back to 8. Does this sound about right? (I grab w for dual laning on lvl 4 for spotting the brush)

Typical Item Build is Meki's + 2 Health Pots (Thinking to switch to two mana pots now that I've switched to the spellvamp mastery) to open, Tear of Goddess and Sorceror's Boots are case dependent but usually take up my first two item slots, then Archangel's Staff. Then I typically build towards RoA and then Deathcap. Which leaves 2 items. Typically, these have been Void Staff and either Zhonya's Hourglass or Abyssal depending on the general make up of the opponents. Is this at least acceptable?

And then last but not least, I do reasonably well solo laning against most champs... but Kassadin leaves me scratching my head. I've laned against him twice, but the only solution I could come up with was to let him push the lane to my turret and farm with a maxed range Q when the waves collide in center and wait for a good gank opportunity. So my question is.... is this all you really can do against a mid lane Kass as Anivia?

i hear ad soraka works well

I am about 1300 elo now and about 20 games into ranked. I watch chaox play graves a lot and notice he brings heal flash and builds wriggles first. is there any reason I should not do this in my elo(graves is my main and i play him if i can)? some people on my team don't think i should. why is this?

also, I am having trouble positioning myself in team fights due to the fact that everyone focuses me. i feel like my damage wins fights but is it more important to just run away if i'm being focused? also in those fights, usually the tank is only one in range but should i hit him until a squishy comes in range or should I compromise my position and find the squishy?

lastly, how do i deal with a lane when the support is mainly there just for harass. e.g. nid, ali, lux etc. it is very hard to get cs and win lane against those people.

thanks.

Rageblade or Nashors tooth on hybrid Kennen? (Yes, AD Kennen does sound interesting, I'm thinking Nashors would be a better pick on Kennen although Rageblade does give more AD).

I play a lot of tanky DPS and junglers (amumu, rammus, irelia, morde, jarvan, etc).. I also dabble in Caitlyn Bot from time to time if I have a pocket support that I am in voice-comm with... but that's beside the point.

Solo-Top, I normally have no problem out-farming my opponents (and even most of my team). I normally end games with more than 200 cs. Problem is, I also usually DO NOT get a lot of kills during laning phase (if any at all), so,

#1. - Are there any tips or tricks you can share with us to securing first blood (or securing kills at all) when playing solo-top tanky dps? Whether that means ganking another lane or baiting out a kill top lane.

In normal games when I solo-queue it's almost impossible to expect junglers to do their job, and other lanes not to feed. It's also very difficult, as a jungler, to depend upon my team to not do stupid things like push their lane.. or ignore the fact that I am attempting to gank someone, so they just stand back and do nothing when gank time comes. . . Or worse yet, they over-commit and towerdive even though the kill is not imminent, and the enemy has blown summoners.

#2. - What is the easiest jungler to get fed early game with thru ganks/jungle control? Same question for Solo-top.

I used to play Soraka almost every match from level 10-30 and about 400 matches after that. She then was changed / nerfed especially in her ability power ratios. The builds that I tweaked got the most out of her. Once I finally started playing ranked matches there was a problem. Lower elo players try to follow higher elo players to the letter. I wasn't gp/5 and warding so I got a lot of flak.

1. I realize warding is essential but should it all be placed on one player? If I am throwing down 150-225 gold on wards every time I go to spawn, that severely inhibits my ability to really support with Soraka.

2. I feel a Fiendish Codex and Boots of Lucidity are going to help my team more than a Philosopher's Stone and brief periods of sight on the map. Am I wrong to ignore the warding and instead check my mini-map once every two seconds?
