Support NeoGAF

[Talents]

Ok what do you do against Ivern? I've only just noticed how fucking dumb of a champ he is holy shit.

Are you trolling?

You're not a meatshield as Karma. Your job is to harass the fuck out of the enemy botlane during lane, and then after lane you spam shield as much as possible in teamfights because your damage falls off. You should aim to have the least deaths on the team as Karma.

I tried harassing them and they killed me instantly..

Also apparently Talon is no longer an assassin, the damage on his ult is abysmal.

If you want to play a damage support play brand or zyra. They bring a lot of CC in addition to damage and your goal in lane is to basically just harass and go for kills.

I've tried both of them and don't like either. When I played Zyra I did like 0 damage, like I hit level 6 against a level 5 Janna and tried to all in her, yet me hitting my spells and ult did half of her health. Been trying Brand and don't like him either, also feels like I don' t do any damage.

Whoever draws that needs to get someone who can actually put thoughts together and just draw what they say.

 

[Newt]

Sorry Breezy, but Dob and I already have the next OT planned out. Don't worry though, most of you will enjoy it (with a few despising it).

If you want in though, msg me.

@zky

I thought about composing this tweet but thought the better of it, I"m not that desparate I swear

@zkylon @PhillipCostigan @bedraggles bedraggles ! Breezy from the Breezy Daily, any news on Dragon Master Swain?

 

[zkylon]

@zky

yeah i think maybe not bothering random rioters is best haha

i do like how the breezy daily sounds

tho like

daily breezy is better imo

 

[Ghost is Bad]

Ok yeah fuck support. You're literally just a meat shield for the adc and do fuck all for damage. Like what do you do when they just dive you alone like what?

have you ever played janna

play karma like that. not like leona.

 

[Talents]

have you ever played janna

play karma like that. not like leona.

I'd prefer not to slit my own neck from boredom.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I'd prefer not to slit my own neck from boredom.

play Leona, Blitz, Morg, Nami, Zyra. I find them all very entertaining and can get shit done while actually being supports by design.

If you want quasi-support action, you can always go Vel, Lux, Brand.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

I don't know, every time I play support I feel like I'm a pokemon master and the adc is just my pokemon.

It atacks when I say so, and I heal it and take care of it, etc.

Sometimes my pokemon don't want to listen to me, so I just change it for another pokemon in midlane or whatever.

 

[zkylon]

i wonder if in blind pick games it'd be a good idea to add 20s at the end of champion select that reveals what the enemy champions are and allows you to at least pick runes and masteries against them

i feel like blind pick lasts short enough that this wouldn't be too bothersome and it'd be nice to be allowed for a bit of preparing

also i just deleted my ahri mastery page cos it was almost the same as my ori one and then the game ignored the ori page i had selected and gave me a random one with the colossus keystone lol

ended up being quite useful cos i was laning against vlad and that shield on the charm is beast for trades + general health regen and regen masteries helped a bunch lol

 

[Sr Kitsune]

I legit laughed at "new phone who dis". hahaha

 

[killatopak]

playing against jungle tf.

this is gonna be interesting.

 

[Calvero]

i love playing blitz and just annoying the enemy jungler by pulling their camps. don't even have to be stealing the camp, they get tilted after the 3rd or 4th pull if you manage to reset it

 

[subtles]

Any Yorick mains here?

stay safe

Did you use proper runes and masteries? That's one of zyra's best matchups and Janna should get completely wrecked.

 

[Newt]

Playing placement games gonna be like.

 

[Leezard]

I love playing against Sivir. I wish she would be a popular pick again.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Just had time to read the Progress Day story.

Damn that was pretty good, really feels like something is happening. I liked it.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

I'd prefer not to slit my own neck from boredom.

ur not gonna do that by playing fucking shield supports then.

 

[killatopak]

goddamn redemption is op.

Support is actually fun with that item.

 

[faridmon]

Picked it up couple of times on Lulu, couldn't do whit with its Active since everyone is moving fast. Went back to Ardent, so comfortable that I started winning game.

Maybe I should get used to it.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Just throw it in the middle of a fight

 

[dimb]

In lane I can enjoy it but the movespeed in open areas when she's strong is pretty obnoxious to play around.

Ah, yeah, I was mainly thinking about the laning phase. Ult rushes with her whole team can be annoying for sure.

 

[jerd]

Nidalee can't actually be 40% win rate weak can she? Like i know they nerfed her and the new jungle isn't great for her but damn

 

[Talents]

Well I only had a page for mid that would suit it, didn't really have a full pen page so just went 18ap, 10 scaling cdr, 9 armour, 7.8 magic pen

 

[Stone Ocean]

Nah she's garbage atm and getting some small buffs until Riot figures out what they want to do with her

 

[zkylon]

if i haven't finished placements i don't have to do them again for s7?

i wouldn't mind much but since you now have to do two rounds of placements for flex and solo i'm hoping not to have to play the 6-7 games i already played again

 

[PhillipCostigan]

you'll have to start placements from scratch.

 

[Talents]

Ok so I played Karma again like a bitch just like everyone said I should and I still couldn't do anything. My Q's didn't do damage and my shield was pitifully small. Also Corki kept getting hit by Thresh hooks in lane...

 

[zkylon]

ah that's a bummer

i was doing so well, i was like 6-1

did u gank mid?

i love when karma ganks mid cos it's like sure flash + enemy mid chunk out

 

[Leezard]

That should be fine. Zyra is less magic pen dependent now that Locket doesn't have a magic res aura anymore. I haven't checked what her optimal rune page is but that's just fine.

It's likely just a question of harass/trading patterns then. Unless the enemy adc is someone like Caitlyn you should easily be able to win 1v2 trade against them, and even then you can pull off winning trades alone, though it is a bit harder.

 

[Talents]

Nah I'm shit at roaming even as a mid laner, plus even if I was good at roaming, Corki would have died instantly bot so it was probably best I didn't leave him but I dunno.

The lane was Jhin and Zyra (me) vs Vayne/Janna.

 

[Leezard]

The lane was Jhin and Zyra (me) vs Vayne/Janna.

Oh. That lane is heavily in your favor then.

You should be able to win trades 1v2 all the time, and if Jhin is helping with the trades you have a good amount of kill pressure.

edit: Vayne should not be getting a lot of cs in that lane, unless you were getting camped by enemy jungler, you should still be able to win trades even if Vayne/Janna is ahead in gold though.

Sometimes your ADC is an idiot who can't avoid hooks so you can't roam. The way I tend to roam when I play support (and someone tell me if this is bad, I'm only silver) is two ways:
1) When I come back from base if my ADC isn't pushed into turret I generally look mid to see if I can do anything
2) When my ADC backs, if I don't have any item break points and I've got decent health/mana I'll also look to roam mid.

Also, with Zyra a tip is to place your W plants after you throw out a Q. If you're fast enough, the windup on Q actually hitting gives you time to place both W plants and it's really hard for the enemy AD/support to squish them and deny your plants. I tend to proc thunderlords most often in lane when I get a Q off onto an enemy as well as two plants up.

Also, from a damage perspective on Zyra make sure you place down plants if you can before/during your ult. Zyra ult gives a 150% AS bonus to all plants in the circle and that's not small, especiall if someone is diving.

One of these teams is not like the other

 

[PhillipCostigan]

smurfs

smurfs

Bronze smurfs maybe. The Riven died the instant I cleared my second camp then kept dying, until 5 deaths where she left the game because "darius is op doesn't even hit abilities yet kills me". Bot lost because they got autofilled then Braum afk'd. Yas was the only one who didn't feed instantly, only started losing after he got ganked.

Wait no watching the replay Yasuo also lost early as he was level 5 where as Ori was 7.

 

[Leezard]

Yeah, I get that in normals sometimes. Low level accounts are usually smurfs, but probably something like silver-gold in actual skill level, so they just get wrecked.

 

[dimb]

You really think someone would do that? Just go on League of Legends and tell lies?
