Ok jpak, your teamcomp that second game was the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time.

Udyr in particular was a terrible choice against Morgana and Mundo >_> Olaf also not very good, but slightly better. And zero early game champs also hurt.

I didn't watch the entire match, but I don't think that was the issue. They did a risky play bot without a lot of communication, and without keeping tabs on morg/irelia, and it didn't work out. Game was close until then. That and other misplays kinda snowballed it I think

It would have been a problem regardless. How is Udyr supposed to get in on their team to do anything to them?

They have no heal and enemy team can kite/poke Olaf and Udyr indefinitely until they decide to hard engage (since they had Sona). They had zero ways to engage with their comp, and inferior poke.

Also, poor johnny losing on Dan stream :( Maybe he pull through.

in my mind the udyr tp call was 100% the right call and should be a really good play. sona graves aggressive all games i had asked for the time of his tp and placed the wards to allow him ~30 seconds before my ward expires and his tp will still be up. I kept asking the timer and when it approached told him he needs to push get out of irelia's vision and come as soon as it comes up. he instead farms for 10 more seconds and that's more than enough time for graves to wave clear and headback into a good position. So udyr's 10 seconds spent farming was a really really big mistake. However, I should've called off the play.

As for team comp I have no say as my team's view at the game is completely different from mine.

Udyr would have been fine as a counterpick to Irelia if he had someone else to initiate for him. As the team comp stood he could win/hold top but would be useless later. That's just my opinion, also I didn't see the order of picks.

Aye. Who needs a ward? Just put a turret out there and giggle at conventional gank attempts.

Been playing bruiser Orianna today. Surprisingly effective.
Wriggles, Wit's End, Phage, whatever seems needed.
Was going with Mpen reds, armor yellows, mr/level blues, movespeed quints.
9/21/0, grabbing the Mpen in offense and then going for tankiness.
She's super tanky with her E's free stats + shield, she's really hard to gank top because her vision and W, she can initiate fights very well, and she has a looot utility for the rest of your team.

Jealousy over you making the smart decision and going for runes instead of champ gova.

I have only one complete runepage and that was before I realized I wanna main solo top instead.

the good thing about being a support main is that you will almost always be better than the other support (because most people only support because they have to, and usually aren't that great at it)

but the bad thing is that supports are almost entirely at the mercy of their teammates

so it should be a slow but steady climb IN THEORY

You should pick up soraka and janna. Sometimes they're better and they're not particularly hard to learn.

I think supports are ok to climb elo. Supports play a big role in keeping their AD carry from failing the lane phase, they should have the best map awareness for the team, they can watch map objectives and it's easier to make calls for when your team should enter/leave fights.

Maybe I just like micromanaging.

I kinda know Soraka and Janna but I'm way better with Sona. And I think if I'm not supporting someone else should without Sona. Cause I wouldn't trust myself with the others supports. At least not right now.

if you're only comfortable with one champion then you shouldn't be playing ranked IMO, just saying.

Well other than Sona I'm comfortable with Nautilus, Shaco, Rammus, TF. I haven't had the chance to use TF yet. And Rammus and Shaco are always banned. >_>
