League of Legends (Old)

[Ankamius]

yes ank I know there are some people like you and me who set their accounts to auto-join the chatroom

I don't remember the last time chatroom was used to do anything

it's dead

[zoraster]

hmm there seems to be only 14 active ranked players on this site, at least according to the spreadsheet

is a MS club really gonna be worth the effort? What would it even be used for?

Worth what effort exactly? The arduous task of creating and inviting people to it?

[FakeGod]

well I guess getting nearly nothing for nearly zero effort is fair

[SleepyKrew]

Why is Lux a bad support into Yi? She can shield people and she can snare him.

[Ankamius]

Hard-CC is what counters Yi. Your dinky shield won't do anything and Yi can still attack while snared.

your life sounds very easy

he can blink dodge the snare

[SleepyKrew]

save it until after he blinks obviously

[Klazam]

save it until after he blinks obviously

so youre gonna let him run to your adc and start smacking?

he blinks to stop snare, no real reason to blink otherwise.

[SleepyKrew]

How often does a Yi not engage with alpha
both at my elo and when I play with much better people, Yi's almost always alpha very early on in the fight

[JasonWazza]

Depends on if they need to.

You shouldn't ever engage with Alpha, you can run up and bait at least one form of CC and alpha when it's close, that is the optimal way to do things, only alpha if it's basically a confirmed kill if there is a risk of CC.

[mykonian]

also he's fast. So you'd really like it if your hard cc wasn't a skillshot.

You see when the yi runs in a very straight line and the lux throws the snare backwards not really.

That's just your elo.

Meh at higher elo the yi could dodge it or just alpha strike it.

That's still just your elo, yi could dodge it, but at least it would be aimed in the right spot if he doesn't dodge it.

Also, Rageblade + Ahri E max = many laughs

Had someone complain because i 100-0'd them with auto attacks while they were charmed, while i had a fully stacked rageblade.

[Dwlee99]

Either way lux isn't a good support imo because of how her only cc is a not *that* hard to dodge skillshot (And is only a snare). Good supports enable their adc rather than killing people themselves. Lux can't do shit with a yi smacking the face of the carry.

[Ankamius]

At your ELO, those supports are trash since they have only trash to enable in the first place. They aren't good until at least platinum.

I appreciate the low-key insult.

[JasonWazza]

He's not wrong, players at your skill level are bad, plain and simple.

Players at my skill level are bad (including me)

[RayFrost]

Note that lux support still isn't great in plat because she's not as good as vel'koz, brand, or annie played well.

There's only very edge cases for lux over the above.

[JasonWazza]

I understand her being worse than Vel'Koz and Annie, but is she really worse than brand?

[Papa Zito]

brand is a nightmare once he gets a rylais

[RayFrost]

Brand's pressure in lane is massive. Deathfiretouch + brand passive leads to extremely potent poke in the early game, his stun is one of the strongest stuns in the game and honestly requires very little effort. It's also fairly low cd. On top of that, his ult is significantly more powerful than lux's because it's targeted and doesn't have the .75-1.25 seconds when you're stuck not able to move.

Add on to that the fact brand's got higher damage values on his combos, and yeah.

[Psyche]

yeah fuck brand
