Support NeoGAF

[LCGeek]

Leona's passive means she is not intended to be played anywhere but in a duo lane. The fact that she does no damage means she is the support in that equation.

I kind of like the idea of having non-sustain supports in the game... until I play one and my carry starts Doran's Blade. Then I just want to punch walls.

What's wrong with the Doran's blade. I got back from a 2 month trip and suddenly its bad.

Siv HD Vlog 4: How to Never rage ever again

 

[scy]

Eh, I left for a month or whatever to play Diablo, then I come back to discover that apparently the Diablo 3 team is now maintaining LoL. =/ Lame.

I start playing LoL after D3 and that's the situation I run into. I guess I cursed the servers :|

Hm, I basically do a quick farm run on D3, play some LoL and then maybe farm some more before sleeping.

Need to probably dedicate more time to actually playing LoL so I can work on not sucking :x I pretty much picked up LoL about a week ago.

Edit: Well, I guess it's been two weeks actually? But about half a week of that was when the servers were doing their best D3 launch impression and I was moving so I couldn't even play when they were up.

BadGAF skipped the inhouse to play against Rioters as Team Yordle. We lost. Also you probably shouldn't cut off the game time and who won if you post scores.

 

[EXGN]

Damn I forgot why I love this game: the epic comebacks. Top went 0/6 to enemy Panth, mid went 0/5 to enemy Swain. Team managed to keep farming and a few lucky team fights and we end up pulling out the win, 42/49.

Southern's team just has more gold and kills so I'm assuming unless something silly happened, he won.

 

[FutureZombie]

And yet, somehow, we lost.

I still have a hard time judging how a game went without a timer on it though.

A yordle on a yak. I don't even know the context of the mumble convo but w/e.

It's always been a bad start with a non-sustain support. (Always as in... since I've been playing, so January.)

You get pushed out of lane very very easily at early levels with no sustain.

I've barely even played Dom. I don't know what I'm doing. Still a lot of fun with Acrid screaming in Mumble.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Those were a seriously fun series of games, yo.

A lot of new champion names and skins appear in the latest pbe update: http://surrenderat20.blogspot.dk/2012/06/closer-look-at-6-8-pbe-files.html

Good job on playing Dominion btw.

You should use promote in an ARAB game.

Is exp and gold gain the same as a normal game? If so then I"m not going to play on PG. Part of the reason why I like ARAB is because the game moves at such a neckbreaking pace that I enjoy it. Also, I hate it when people break the rules of ARAB. It's my pet peeve.

 

[bjaelke]

Proving Grounds is going to replace ARAM not ARAB.

 

[dimb]

Gold gain is accelerated on Proving Grounds. You can't back. Your base doesn't heal you. You can't buy after like thirty seconds of spawning.

Why would you play ARAB when Proving Grounds exists? Unless you like playing with the bad Dominion item ruleset and map.

What about EXP? Is the growth faster?

 

[dimb]

Yes and you start at level three. It's the same as Dominion as for as exp/gold goes as far as I know if not faster.

Proving Grounds (and ARAM) is boring and slow. I find ARAB to be the most entertaining partially due to the increased exp gains, fast game play and possibility to try alternative builds.

Dominion items are also far superior to Summoner's Rift's when it comes to ARAB/ARAM.

 

[kayos90]

Fuck... I'm converted then. The only thing that might change my mind is if I enjoy capping more than I do attacking towers.

ARAB is pretty boring to me. It's a lot of back and forth that's super unbalanced because progress is based around capping the enemy point more than kills. Even if you win team fights there are situations where you will get nothing out of it because you can't cap in time. Realistically, the team that respawns has a huge advantage, and the nature of the game without much protection and poke being less valuable makes things pretty predictable. The back and forth is all very fake. Things last much longer than they should because teams are always in the game. You are just sort of throwing yourselves at each other over and over again.

Proving Grounds is a much more dynamic experience that lends itself better to more champions, and opens up more alternative builds because you actually have access to all the items you should. It focuses more on team fights and interesting play than throwing yourself at the enemy for 40 minutes and hoping for the best in ARAB.

Dominion items are also far superior to Summoner's Rift's when it comes to ARAB/ARAM.

Dominion items are on Proving Grounds with SR items that were pointlessly removed like Banshee's Veil. It has lots of stuff except for annoying things like GA.
