Your advice is "Don't play champions you're not comfortable with." Quadz's advice is "Get champions you enjoy."

That wasn't my advice. My advice is "playing champions you enjoy is more valuable than playing the champions everyone tells you win games".

In post 23505, JDodge wrote:the final misconception i see is "i have sightstone, i dont need to buy wards": sightstone is not enough to provide appropriate vision (the most basic level of map control is 4 wards, the lowest optimal level of map control is 6-8) and you will need to buy wards beyond that in all likelihood (especially in solo queue, but if you want to play support in solo queue, suck it up and deal with it)
This so much. The other day, somebody on my team actually told our support "you have sightstone, you don't need to buy wards." Thankfully, the support was my friend and I was able to inform him that the person telling him not to buy wards was, in fact, an idiot.

Your advice is that everyone tells you that Pantheon wins games. Your argument is invalid.

Damn you guys must be some next level supps. I see supps die all the time while warding/clearing wards (I should know as I hunt them down from mid pretty often; they ain't getting away from my Akali or TF).

I'm in Plat IV right now. I actually can't remember the last time I got caught out warding. It's far more common that I go to ward and my laner gets caught out in the 10 seconds I'm gone >.>

This is something Reck does rather frequently - he'll say something stupid, then when called out on it, he'll entirely misrepresent his initial position and say something completely different. It's not worth it to talk sense into him. To make the correct argument though, "No Reck, your advice was to play champions you're good with in ranked, which is a completely separate concept from champions you enjoy. Maybe that person playing Diana really enjoys Diana but can't play her for shit. I assume your advice wasn't that it's okay to play champions you can't play for shit in ranked, so your post was not saying the same thing as Quadz's." God you people make me feel silly sometimes.

It wasn't
the exact same argument
, obviously, but the points are similar and get the same point across (play things you like/are good at, not what Other People say you should play).

It's two completely different points and you should be offended that Reck felt it necessary to ignore your point and tell his own story. Don't cover for him just because you know him irl.

It was completely in the same spirit of what quadz was saying. Chill the fuck out, Jesus Christ, stop being such a prick. Did I fuck your dad or something to piss you off? Good lord.

Except it wasn't. It was an excuse for you to say your own unrelated thing while someone else was trying to help a new player out. Don't be so selfish.

...it was completely related. Quadz was making the point that picking champions to buy/play based on other people's advice is not as important as finding a champion you enjoy. I was agreeing with that point by showing anecdotal evidence for how two champions that aren't exactly considered top tier in the meta were able to win anyway because the people who were playing them had practiced them enough to know them well... aka, "don't listen to other people saying what champions are good/top tier right now, find a champion you're good with instead". They're two stories that arrive at the same fucking conclusion.

When three people come in to tell you that you're wrong, you should probably take a step back instead of going on some stupid crusade against THE EVIL RECKONER BEING SELFISH AND TELLING A STORY ABOUT HOW HE LOST IN RANKED!

And even if it WAS a different point altogether, it's all in the spirit of giving a new player advice, so seriously chill the fuck out, this is one of the top ten dumbest things I've ever seen someone get butthurt over.

One person telling me I'm wrong is the person I'm arguing with. One is his irl friend. One wasn't sure if I was serious when I gave a trollish response. This is definitely something I should take seriously.

If your point was that Orianna isn't considered good, you've already lost me.

When you accuse me of taking sides in an argument because I know Reck IRL and I don't know you IRL (and I consider both of you friends), you kiiiiinda made it personal all on your own.
