All supports build same:

gp5 + boots 1 + wards > aegis + boots2 + wards > upgrade gp5 + wards > moar wards > wards still

that's a support build. Always leave 1 spot open for wards.. always buy wards... ward the map forever. Triple gp5 + aegis + boots usually does well..

who rushes aegis on support this aint season 1 lol

shurelias first support forever PLZ

9/10 placement games down. Can I expect drastic differences in player skill (whether up or down) once I'm ranked? I feel like I'm getting worse playing these games @_@

Asdioh, I'm gonna be frank here. Although you are new and not *****ing or whatever, we still don't need play by plays of all your games or screenshots.

I don't think anyone really cares, and it makes the pages take longer to load and stuff :\

That's why I used collapse :x
So whatcha wanna talk about? I saw a thread about Blitzcrank being OP, surely that's bull?


edit: finished 10th game, ended up playing the less-known "mediator" role in it but couldn't carry teammate's moods hard enough, ended up losing.
ELO is currently 1207, and it says top rating 1242 which I assume was at some point during the placement matches. I couldn't find anywhere exactly how placement matches work, so I didn't really know what to expect coming out of them.

Every time I rush early negatron vs Cass, they turn out to be bad. Maybe I should not do that unless they pose a threat.

Cass is a jerk. I have surprisingly had the most success with Gragas vs her.. which shouldn't make sense because for the first several levels, he has to farm with melee autos.. which means either deny or free poison.
The champ makes me feel like I'm hardly ever ahead, even if I'm beating her up. SOMEthing needs to be toned down just a tad, but I don't know what it should be.

Just started studying for my CPA. I run League on my PC client; CPA Becker on my Mac client.

Won't be playing League until I pass all four exams for the sake of staying focus.

Thanks for all your help. I've enjoyed all the drama and rage over the past whenever.

winning your lane -> losing the game combo is bar far my least favorite combo in the world.
GOD.

That lingering feeling when you lose a game after you completely dominate your lane. It's just awful. :applejack:

Gragas counters Cassio

Cass always hurts even when behind



I did a game as Nautilus support and was against blitz support... my god it was intense.. we even hooked each other at the same time like 3 times. Had a fiddle jungle who went smiteless, and i was like "ain't gonna let people steal dragon and baron" and took smite on support nautilus to secure them.

Bought Riven on a whim, love her. Running 21/9/0 and flat armor yellows and scaling mr blues. Should I be taking arpen reds or flat ad? And I'm alternating leveling Q and W, is that fine or is there one I should be prioritizing? Playing mostly top and only occasionally jungle.

W > E > Q. Q is a 1 point wonder, don't put more than 1 point into it until level 14 when you don't have a choice. Also, in some lanes you should be power leveling E over W. w/e, the point I'm making is that levels in Q suck.

ArPen vs. AD on reds is pretty much a wash, I'd probably just run AD because you have an AD scaling shield, but I don't really play Riven.

You want flat AD against most matchups, but against champs that like to grab early armor/tankiness and such I go the ArPen reds/quints.

Well, ****. Good thing I'm usually too lazy to switch to ArPen, then!

Not something I knew, I made the apparently wrong assumption that I would want to penetrate the armor of those who actually have armor, haha.

Who knows a lot about team comps around here?

My friends wanted to start doing competitive LoL so now I gotta look into team comps.

Also info on things like team fighting vs winning lanes.

The principle is pretty straightforward.

Say we have 25 ArPen.

Vs. a target with 25 Armor, we're going from a 20% damage reduction to a 0% damage reduction, which represents a 25% increase in damage output.

Vs. a target with 100 Armor, we're going from a 50% damage reduction to a 42.9% damage reduction, which represents a 14.3% increase in damage.

Vs. a target with 200 Armor, we're going from a 66.7% damage reduction to a 63.6%% damage reduction, which represents a 9.1% increase in damage.
