have you seen my na supports tho

 

[zkylon]

i think my last two loot drops were karma and taric lol

which to me is actually better than getting a skin cos it's more blue essence to cash in

skins i got plenty, but i got shit for essence

[SenorArdilla]

Open up a chest and get a ward skin or summoner icon.

 

[Orochinagis]

For a moment I thought riot gave some free boxes

 

[Stone Ocean]

Autofill is slowly killing my will to bot lane. I don't even give a shit about getting autofilled but boy do I love being paired up in a lane with someone that has never played support in their life.

"I'm gonna go morgana ignite against their level 1 dive comp. surely ignite will save us."
*Misses every snare ever*
*Doesn't even use Ignite*
*Just sucks*

"Well this is how pros play her"

 

[Orochinagis]

Yesteday I got paired with a karma player who didnt used his R, didnt talk about it and just tried to roam jungle in every lane. he died around 11 times before min 12

No you're wrong, autofill is good for the game! :^)

 

[Stone Ocean]

No you're wrong, autofill is good for the game! :^)

This only applies to ADC players, everyone else just needs to get good so they can at least function in their assigned roles :^)

 

[zkylon]

i still don't understand why autofill is there, i haven't noticed any improvement in queue times, matchmaking quality or role priority

i can see it being necessary at high elo but i don't know about us 99%

 

[Talents]

I haven't noticed any queue time improvements either, especially because majority of the lobbies get dodged when someone gets filled.

 

[Terbinator]

Queue times have gotten worse since the changes form Dynamic. Even picking Support/AF my queue times are never less than 90 seconds, whereas before, they were <20s.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

u guys are wrong

i love autofill, especially when they get an autofilled support on their team.

 

[Orochinagis]

Yeah, I think I not gonna risk and choose supports now got another player who didnt know what to do in that role

 

[faridmon]

Yeah, I am waiting way longer for a match as a supp than before.

 

[Quonny]

play 3v3 you crybabies

 

[Stone Ocean]

play 3v3 you crybabies

I'd rather play Dominion

 

[Newt]

I kinda like getting autofilled support. For a single match, I actually get to enjoy the game.

edit: playing with a yasuo rip me

ya

promos to diamond begin

 

[Black-Wind]

Started playing again.

Feels like the game's become more trolly than i remember.
Maybe it's cause of normals? I don't remember normals being this trolly but could be ...

 

[Nekofrog]

Ziggs bot could become a thing. If it does it makes me a prophet

Spoiler

or is just a cheese pick that is working well in challenger right now because it gets tower before first recall

High elo players have been picking all sorts of trolly shit when they get filled as ADC. But yeah, Ziggs seems hella annoying right now, either by people picking him bot or mid lane and roaming at 6 for free first turret dives. 4 man the enemy bot and you get it no matter how much damage you've done to the tower prior, it seems so busted.

 

[Orochinagis]

My friend is telling me to pick Yasuo so he (malphite) helps me launch the ult easier

 

[Black-Wind]

Ryze is fucking legit busted, his root needs to be a skill shot.

Why can he root you for 10K years and just roll face on you as you helplessly try to land your skill shots as he runs around you at fucking 10k Movement speed???

 

[drawkcaB]

I don't see the problem at all with Ziggs support provided the player is still fulfilling the core responsibilities of the role.

Ziggs has had ~50% win rate as a support going back mid-season 6, but I was hesitant to put faith behind those numbers since the play rate was extremely low.

He can poke, good zoning, reasonable mana costs, has some decent though not fantastic ways to protect his carry (W and E), can smash towers, can assist from a long range, and can use the Liandry's + Rylais combo reasonably well.

Hell, if playing Ziggs support let's me play Ziggs I'll give it a try.

 

[Kenai]

Haven't played Ziggs supp in a long time, but I feel like he has the same issues every other AP mid without hard CC does as supp in that he looks great when snowballing but if you don't snowball you'll in far worse shape than a traditional supp would be. His Q and ult would be pretty meh without AP behind em by ~15 min.

 

[Newt]

Ziggs support is probably okay, but I don't see it being great.


Also, rip me, promo unlucky team time.

 

[Nekofrog]

Not ziggs support, in place of adc.still build ap

 

[zkylon]

my jhin just got solo'd by enemy blitz

they're all shit

all of them

 

[Black-Wind]

Out auto filled into support just now. Went 3/2/21 as Sion.

First time playing support in like a year. Played it like how I wished my supports would play when I use to ADC.

maybe I should start JG to, see if I can get results from playing how I wished my Jg would play.

lol? permaroot ryze has been gone for like a year now lol

 

[Newt]

lmao

 

[Black-Wind]

lol? permaroot ryze has been gone for lime a year now lol

Didn't say it was a permaroot, just that the root is long enough to allow him to bust his kit's load all over you and run which ever way he wants with fuck tons of movement speed. If it's so strong I don't see why it's a point an click spell instead of a skill shot given Riot's love for balancing power with draw backs in the form of skill shots.


Til his next rework I'll just be happy that I very rarely see him these days.

1 second root = 10k years gotcha.

 

[Orochinagis]

I guess you didnt get hit by Morgana Q

 

[SenorArdilla]

Getting caught basically means you're dead.

 

[Black-Wind]

1 second root = 10k years gotcha.

Pretty sure it's 2 secs when you have flux on you unless there's a recent nerf I haven't heard of.

Felt too damn long for a point and click spell regardless.

I guess you didnt get hit by Morgana Q

That's the thing, I feel like her Q is fair BECAUSE I can dodge it. It's a major part of her kit, it can be minion blocked and when I get hit it's normally a "Fuck, I fucked up " moment.

Not a "Fuck, I can't farm in minions cause of this flux stuff and this fucker just charged at me with fucko tons of movement speed. Now I'm rooted and I have to eat a trade not in my favor cause he can dodge like Neo in the Matrix?! ".

 

[Ghost is Bad]

the 2 second root is terrible. the real power of the new ryze is his relentless pushing power and how impossible it is to duel him under pretty much any circumstance since EQ does 200 dmg at level 1 for each spell.

 

[Newt]

Promos are the worst. If I saw a Nocturne in any one of my regular ranked games I would have immediately taken the lobby hostage.

that morg asking for the duo so she can get through promos :^)

 

[SenorArdilla]

Nocturne is probably getting changed when Rito does the diving class.
