Suggestions for my next champ?I've been interested in seeing LGS videos of Thresh and Lulu, but I'm open to ideas.

Pick up Zyra, I LOVE support Zyra.


This was forever ago,

but does someone want to tell me how to support Zyra. Her skillshots are hard but I love the amount of CC she brings. Her harass is mana hungry though. In the end I don't see why I'd take her over Nami.


They are nothing like each other, I fear. Nami is a poking support (she brings sustain and good trading), zyra is a champion that only facilitates good trades, and has good bush control.

In my opinion, you do not "harass" with your spells. For one, as support zyra you level your e, you don't poke with your q. You poke with your autoattacks, they are quite long range. You engage with your e. The trick is to see when your opponent is going to last hit. He's going to stand still long enough to hit a snare if he's not plat (plat vaynes become an issue). If your opponent is draven, you are in for some fun. Let him get his last hit, throw your e towards his axe. Again, won't work if your opponent knows what you are doing, but lets be honest: they won't.

Now, you probably know this but if you don't, you can cast you seeds after you cast your q/e, though you have to be quick. So your average "combo" in lane is to cast your e, when you know it hits cast w twice, if you are quick enough it pops both, but if not you cast q after anyway to pop the second plant. Now, this is the moment your partner should think "hey my support is engaging on this dude, lets shoot him". Dude gets a choice. Either he shoots back and takes damage from the plants and both autoattackers, or he runs and takes his loss. Early game this loss should be half his HP, give or take, with all three spells and an auto or two from your partner.

Landing your e is easier if you cast it from a bush, really, since they can't see your cast animation which helps a little. Esspecially against melee supports getting vision with a plant + spell and your autos tends to make it easy to conquer a bush. When you are there, you can use your superior range and engage thread to zone.

From 6 on your combo is basically the same, but the choice for staying becomes a worse option (increased damage from plants and knockup).
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.

I had a game where I stole dragon and Baron with Leblanc E chains.
It was glorious.

well it's not like it's a high bar to reach, since 95% of active players have never received a punishment of any kind. That to me sounds like a failure, rather than something to brag about.

It's for everyone who has never been punished. That's almost everyone who plays league.

I looks like something else will go to people who refer positive chat logs and are selected.

I'm just glad I'll never have to go to bed after my internet shitting itself at the start of picking phase and waking up to a leaver game in my match history again.

you assume everyone either A.) Has the money to pay for the RP for every champ (hint: They don't) or B.) already has every champion (hint: they don't)
