uwaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pretty sure that was the Korean Galio video too. I remember it because of that sound... I loved that sound *.*



Anyway, here's a game I was actually really proud of. This is why I play Riven.



We were so incredibly behind really. My team was falling everywhere on the map. I had to ping to absolutely no end every time they were doing something they shouldn't.

I made so many plays that won us the map, even though we lost some teamfights. It was really rough, but really satisfying to come out with a win to put me at my Promos to Gold.

Riven alone shall carry me to Gold hopefully ;-;

Re: League of Legends

I'm pretty sure you knew this, but from the sounds of it you aren't warding very well.

I wouldn't say that. Usually feeding happens in early game, and at that time EVERY lane should have wards and be prepared for incoming ganks. It's something any good player would get. I can't go ward all over the map when I need to be there for my adc in the first 10 mins.

Re: League of Legends

you probably play pretty passively as a support if you're not snowballing botlane

your best bet is taking a solo lane or jungling - anything but support if you really want to carry

If I Sit In This Brush And Go Into River or TriBrush (Never Both) Alone Every 3 Minutes To Ward Maybe We Will Win Games

No Vayne It's Your Fault For Losing Trades I Did My Job As Support And Warded River or TriBush (But Never Both) Every 3 Minutes

Re: League of Legends

which is why i hate playing ad, don't like splitting lane responsibility

jungle4lyfe

if i snowball lanes then i contributed 100%, if i feed then it's 100% my fault

Re: League of Legends

I like support because it makes me happy when I get a passive AD carry and with pings and gentle encouragement I manage to get them to go for plays and get fed

I also like support because when I get an ADC who matches my style and we just go off together, it's more fun to win lane with someone else

idk

Been playing more jungle recently, I really like Renekton. He's just a totally average jungler. Slightly above average clear speed, average ganks, average midgame presence, slightly below average dueling ability, average objective control, decent mobility... he's not top tier at anything which is why he's not played competitively (also because he's so strong top) but he's just really fun for solo queue. Also he doesn't require your mechanics to be that good which is why I like him over other fun but difficult junglers like Lee >_>

Re: League of Legends

the only threat while jungling is dying to wolves

those guys crit

Re: League of Legends

the biggest threat is from your midlaner when the 6 true damage defensive mastery lasthits blue buff

Re: League of Legends

or just xj9 every blue for yourself i see how it is

[L.B.D.D]

Re: League of Legends

usually i invade enemy blue with my midlaner @ 8 or 9 depending on enemy jungle timing

then i grab our blue for myself

Re: League of Legends

@colt: playing a support is the least-most effective player in the game in most traditional games. Regardless of how much vision you have, your team might just lack the competency to know what to actually do, whom to zone, whom to burn, whom to attack first, etc., come team fights, or even in minor skirmishes. They also might not know when to group to take tower/objectives. They also might not be able to know when to farm (all the time) and/or group to push. There's very little you can do as a support in order to counter-act these inherent problems that you might face with your team.

But here's a question for you: How soon do you leave your adc to help out the other lanes? The traditional answer would be never - babysit him until end game, right? Well, maybe. There's not much you can do in terms of assisting your other lanes, since I know you almost exclusively play Sona, but it's those situations that you have to ask yourself: Are we winning the lane? If so, is my ADC competent enough to know how to play 1v1(2) safely while I roam to ward objectives and help out another lane? Should I do this right now? What can I -actually- do to help out the other lanes? Will I be forced to use my ulti, flash ulti, exh? What summoner do I have up, that a particular lane does not have up, where we can take that advatange? If their jungler comes to the lane I gank, will we be fucked, or if he goes to gank my ADC, will s/he be fucked? What are the items of the other support - do I need to keep playing this pink ward game for vision, or can I rush oracle's, do I need health or mobility first, or are we ahead enough so I can invest in gp5? How receptive is the other team when a support ganks? Do they collapse entirely or do they stay in their lanes and assume the other team is good enough?

Once I appear in lane to show that I'm helping out my other lane, will the reaction of the opposing (say mid laner) be scared enough for him/her to recall and give the mid lane the opportunity to free farm; was my simple presence enough to persuade the enemy into leaving the lane, or was is detrimental in that once I showed myself and my position nowhere near my ADC, he gets dove on and dies and blames me for it. Was I wrong? Was he wrong? Could I have warded to prevent a 3 man dive from occuring onto the ADC, or did I ward our tri or their tri or the river to ensure the jungler wouldn't be there to gank him - or at least he would be noticed if the jungler to traditional paths; or did the jungler just immediately respond and try to help/cover mid?

^Good question to ask yourself. Editted


I guess what I'm trying to get you to understand is that until you develop the ability to understand the movements of your other 9 players, and why they do things, only then can you -really- act to carry your game. Vision is one thing but if you can accurately hypothesize where the enemy team is without any sight, depending on the game time, buff timers, how pushed waves are, which towers are up/low, which objectives are up, who on your team is visible in lane and looks easy to pick off, what the other team has to compromise if they want to gank a top lane and/or lose a mid lane; or are they competent enough to push and clear their lane before ganking (<-this is what separates plat from bronze), then you can climb the ranks easily (given your mmr is high enough ugh). AND, if you can or have developed the skills partially there's also very little you can do except hope that you have supported your team well enough to carry for you, because you're putting your eggs into their basket as a passive support, and hoping what you give them results in positive fruition.



And that's why I play annie support.
