Support NeoGAF

[Ferrio]

no you should still change your builds according to the situation

ie buying multiple dorans, getting bt instead of lw if enemy team doesn't have any tanks, buying mercurial scimitar, etc.

like even just choosing banshees vs ga (or no defensive items whatsoever) is a decision you should be making every single game (u know if it goes that long)

True enough.

 

[Tizoc]

Nope.

I've been going BoRK>Youmuu>LW>IE>Armor on Twitch since his redesign. Never considered changing any of those items >_>;

Had a great run with Twitch over the last couple games. 18-4, 16-4, 13-5, 16-8, stuff like that. Then I run into a Lux support that doesn't show up until 4:30, runs into an engage that gets us both killed and follows up with a "lol lagged", comes back from a mid roam while I'm stuck and tower through river despite the fact that Thresh was clearly warding river bush and gets us both killed, never used her exhaust (which resulted in getting us both killed), and consistently fucked with my csing and didn't ward outside of trinket. Then proceeded to call the whole team kids when we started calling her out on mistakes.

Intentionally feeding never felt so good.

Also, I don't care what anyone says, Runaan's is the god damn destroyer of worlds on Twitch.

After the ranked +11 LP win, the next one was +21 LP. So who knows what logic is going on, but at least the 11 wasn't consistent.

I follow top rated mobafire guide to the letter. Never steered me wrong.

 

[Ferrio]

Speaking of Runaans. I was testing out Lucian in a custom game.... hurricane on him is badass looking.

 

[sleepykyo]

Jungle Reasons.

Personally I've just never seen it work.

Pretty sure I saw Alliance run it. Granted it felt like Shook had no presence throughout the entire laning phase of those games and just comes to 3rd hit q, stun, windblast during team fights.

I run it in games where I have a clear advantage on their ADC so I can farm faster and then roam a bit after winning lane. Really fun, especially when attack speed is raised.
Probs not viable in competitive play though haha

 

[Fracas]

The swain god approves.

i should probably buy swain now that he's in-meta to have something other than lulu and lizzy

He's popular now? Maybe it's just because I'm in low elo, but I'm the only swain player I've seen in any of my games.

I just meant it looked cool, I'd never run it in game. Only reason I had it was I was solo against 5 bots, so needed to push lanes fast.

I find swain to be one of those obscure champions. The first time ive seen him in action was while i was spectating a friends game. His mundo got stomped hard by the enemy's northern front swain. I barely seen him in games in which i dont choose him.

wouldn't say popular but he's more accepted for sure

i usually see swains do good in yolo q btw

He's really underrated, I feel. One of the best snowball champs in the entire game

**EPILEPSY WARNING**

Yeah, she needs nerfing. Realistically it is unlikely to happen before worlds. We like for those matches to take place on as stable a build as possible that has been thoroughly tested, so even very good changes can be ultimately risky. We also think it's reasonable for the players to expect that numbers won't go changing wildly right in the middle of worlds.

To clarify, she needs some sort of weakness. If we just lower her damage or something, players may just switch from her to Kog or someone which just substitutes one dominant ADC for another. Ideally we'd like to give her some trade-offs so that you can choose her for her strengths or avoid her because of her weaknesses.

weird riven x vayne thing is pretty cool

That's like Zkylon fanservice.

 

[Ferrio]

Get a plat ashe in my placement...so there's a plat on the other team too.

Turns out my plat ashe only played support and hasn't played in 6 months. One of the worst adcs I've ever seen. Eating hooks for breakfast.

Also the lore changes are absolutely bonkers.

Is sunfire cape a good item? People usually seem to make fun of it.

 

[Orochinagis]

Did Riot removed Headhunter Cait recall pose with the gun on her back in a feral pose and now just put the gun on her shoulder?

 

[NihonTiger90]

Pretty much. The support will determine much of what happens in lane. ADCs can definitely do a lot of stuff on their own if the enemies are bad though.

This has been part of my problem as of late. I've been stuck with some super-passive supports in about 3/4 of my games, who basically play far enough back that I can either a.) go up, get killed repeatedly and have my support bitch at me or b.) let the enemy ADC freefarm until they push back to turret, then try to desperately hold out.

 

[Ferrio]

Matters on the champ. Mao is an ap tank who gets right in the middle of shit, so it synergizes well.
