League of Legends (Old)

[Brandi]

A while back I had people complain to me about buying *too many* wards, and lately I have been getting caught placing wards, which ends up getting me killed. And I've been getting focused in team fights more often as well. (which before never happened as much, if at all)

Though I'm still not great with it, I'm trying to be more cautious and more efficient with my ward placement.

Still at this point, though, if I *don't* play support and we don't have support on our team, no one buys wards at all, literally not a one. =/

I'm still having trouble convincing some of my lower level friends of the importance of wards. They have literally told me "please don't play Sona, play something that doesn't buy wards so you actually use your money to be useful!" =_=;

i'm sorry that your friends are bad at this game

the whole "not getting caught" thing is a part of positioning, which mostly comes with experience

[dramonic]

Morthas. Fient.

The guy who said "hey dram, let's be a team with nabrond chrono and ray!"

[xRECKONERx]

The same guy who said to us, "Hey, you guys still have a spot"?

[Amrun]

10 accounts to level 5? Not 5 to level 10?

If you refer them all to your main account, you get 975 rp, plus a couple of other things along the way.

[Staeg]

I think you have to get level 10.

Hahahaha I just bought Sona and I will always be warding as much as possible! : D

I just usually put two wards and have only once been caught lol.

It's fun playing Sona.

[dramonic]

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayke!

[xRECKONERx]

SOMEONE GIVE US A TEAM NAME BECAUSE WE'RE ALL UNCREATIVE

[Staeg]

I LIKE 5 GUYS 1 CUP



WHAT




STOP STARING AT ME

[Amrun]

I think you have to get level 10.

Wrong!

[inHimshallibe]

eek if I don't find a team here I'll have to go to reddit >_>



Zito save me.

[Ranmaru]

Sorry Reck I'm not creative either... If something strikes me I'll tell ya

[xRECKONERx]

eek if I don't find a team here I'll have to go to reddit >_>



Zito save me.

You could sub for our team? I think Gamma will be gone for one of the games or something?

[xRECKONERx]

So I think we're going with "Team Insta-Lock".

[SpyreX]

TEAM JESUS SIGNED

I wish I was good and cool and handsome at this game for a teeeam

[inHimshallibe]

I'll gladly sub when you need me, though I'd be looking for a regular group to play with.


SpyreX you eat your vegetables and grow up big and strong and then we can be on a team together. :)

[inHimshallibe]

I want to practice non-sustain support, if someone is interested this evening.

[Ranmaru]

If you want I can practice with ya tonite. I use Annie. I have also been practicing Sona, and will practice Amumu too.

I should be free around 10:00 PM EST.

So I've also decided to do a guide on support picks since everyone keeps asking me about that shit and I feel like being Capt. McHelpful today. So here's a list of people who you can run as support, and when to pick them.

Soraka

- Favors lanes that like to sit back passively and farm all the things. Good lanemates are ones that favor farming including Ashe and Kog'maw. Counterpick to anything shut down by a silence (Kat, possibly Galio but I'm not sure on silence and range, Nunu) and Karthus (bitches don't know bout your global heal).

Sona

- Favors lanes that like to poke/burst the fuck out of the other side. Good lanemates are ones with a lot of poke/burst including Ezrael and Graves. Not really a counterpick to anything, but good in an AoE comp.

Taric

- Favors lanes that like to poke/burst the fuck out of the other side. Good lanemates are ones who benefit and can capitalize on his stun (IE have hard cc) including Caitlyn and Vayne. Counterpick to anything shut down by a silence and heavy AD teams.

Alistar

- Favors lanes that can punish mistakes made by the opposing lane. Good lanemates are ones who can benefit from his CC and put out a lot of damage quickly including Vayne and Graves. Counterpick to anything shut down by getting CC'd to fuck.

Janna

- Pick vs AoE comp. Everything that she does in lane can be done better by someone else, and chances are someone else has a heal. Heals are broken. Shields are not. Keep that in mind. And for the love of god, don't level her whirlwind beyond the first level in it until you have to.

Leona

- Pick if your entire team decided to auto-lock a bunch of squishy champs. Weep silently as your entire team melts to the opposing team while blaming you for not tanking hard enough. Get better teammates and play Alistar instead.

Karma

- Pick at low levels. She pubstomps like a champ at low levels and then falls off as people begin to be competent (not viable as a support beyond that).

Blitzcrank

- Pick if BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. You need to start collecting heads for it to have been worth taking Blitz. Do not pick if you can't hit skillshots, you will be beyond useless.

Nidalee

- Go solo top, let someone else play support.

Leblanc

- See: Blitzcrank. Can put wards in silly places and get away with it because of W + ult. Can one-shot Sorakas most of the time, which is the most hilarious thing you will ever do in lane as a support.

Nunu

- Pick with Kog'maw or Vayne, laugh as they hit W, you hit W, and they kill everything in sight.

Gangplank

- See: Nunu, except now you can eat oranges and be k. Also, you can poke the everloving shit out of them with Q.

Jarvan

- Twitch OP.

Morgana/Lux

- Pick if you hate yourself.

Zilean

- Go mid, bomb things. Not really viable bot lane.

Kayle

- Better in a position where she can get some farm and put the hurt on people.

Galio

- Last resort if you really want a Galio on your team but can't shoehorn him in elsewhere.

let me know if i missed anyone you wanted to know about

[Staeg]

Heal-less supports are good with Ezreal because one does not simply harass an Ezreal
Janna is a good example

or you could just pick someone like a taric or a sona that aids their harassment potential while further sustaining any damage they might take

[Staeg]

Any damage they could take would be absorbed by that shield, which also gives deepz
And if an Ezreal takes more damage than a shield's worth, his skill is questionable

[crywolf20084]

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayke!

draaaaaaaaaaaam o.O

[Fate]

Janna is like a ranged alistar

I've seen her do well with Ashe in terms OMGWTF ICANTGETTO HER kiting ability

or maybe that Janna montage just biased me because of all the cool shit you can do with her

also further biased by her synergy with Riven shield+scaling
