Yeah. In the classic IEM Hanover match between DIG and M5, Urgot completely pooped on Janna + Corki on his own while Lee + Alistar demolished the enemy mid lane and jungle.

I've won plenty of games as taric. Used to and still do some times wreck lanes with all ins at level 3 and 6. Your still not swinging me. Zyra offers nothing to her adc, in fact she's even more reliant on her adc, than leona or taric. Sona is the most easily bursted supp in the league. I think she's strong, but make one mistake in your positioning and your dead.
I think the best supp's in the league right now, regardless of rank, go
Nami
Morgana
Blitz
Thresh
Not in any order. I just think the most successful bot lanes use these champs. My original point was that supp is one of the hardest positions to play, as you need to rely on your adc being halfway competent. This is completely different from the other lanes. You need to force feed your adc and only the best supp's can go from bronze to plat doing this alone. Hell up to a point, I would say if you are confident in your skill you should just take the kills for yourself and carry your way out.

Besides a lot of zoning / disengage and the biggest DPS of any support? Zyra is basically the most independent support around lol, you're likely to straight up outdamage your ADC
Support players have the highest win rates for a reason. Specially in lower ranks, the amount of pressure you can apply just from vision control alone, plus good support players can make silver ADCs look like fucking Doublelift.

If I was playing ADC and didn't poke zyra to oblivion I deserve my spot in Bronze.
Can't argue with what you are saying. Maybe Supp play has changed a bit more since I last gave it a bash. I will have a game and report my findings.

if you walk up to poke a Zyra and she just lets you then you probably are in bronze.
Yeah, just walking up to a Zyra as an adc is a scary prospect. Unless she JUST missed her E.
Haha, you've been been pretty warped by bronze my friend.
The strongest supports in ranked is easily Blitzcrank, no matter what division. The rest is a mix of Janna, Annie, Zyra, Leona and Braum.
Thresh is generally a bad solo q champion.
Also, support is generally the best role if you want to carry the game. You can be so directly imposing on the enemy team.

Kog spikes hard with Trinity, IE rush should be pretty meh since his only AD ratio is mediocre.
Isn't the idea of BotRK first item to be a way to make laning a bit easier? Besides dueling potential.
Trinity just synergizes really well with Kog because of his ability to get the enhanced AA from the passive, but he's also really strong as a "turret" ADC due to his Q and W, so I don't see why not you could itemize him as the average IE/ASP ADC, but then I guess you are banking more on RNG to help.
As far as it being better or worse, then idk, but I am gonna go on a limb that it depends on matchup/how you are doing.

So now that Kass is in a more reasonable place strength-wise I kind of want to start playing him. Core is pretty much roa into deathcap right?
Edit: Support is good to carry with, but a lot of it still requires your team to listen to you and help you out, especially with the three ward limit.

No, that's what a Phage rush is for. BotRK rush is for dueling / peeling, the sustain is secondary.
Tizoc
Member
Yeah I usually start Phage on Kog due to how it lets him 'stick' to his targets when his W is up.
EDIT: I think I shall get...Yorick with my IP.
Ah thanks for clarifying! I generally only see Phage for the added HP and never really think of it as that much help for laning besides that!

now i know how dimb feels about my posts
Yeah, if that buff goes through, his ultimate will only have a downtime of 21 seconds seeing as his ult goes on for 12 seconds. He will never die.

Seriously? You had pretty much every Eve player saying that change was stupid but you still went through with it and now it'll get reverted on the next patch? Wow
Also if we're to further buff tanks we gonna need a BoTRK buff or something

RIP Irelia and Supports (and any other light jungler out there)
If anything this will make irelia more relevant. With no damage threat other than mid and adc she can probably afford to permanently farm to until she has a Bork and triforce to go with her true damage then go tanky
Pretty sure it gets both effects now, the cooldown reduction and the move speed.
i mean her winrate went up like 3% and she's now getting the old effect on top of the new one
dunno what you're complaining about
not sure, and i dunno if it's the right nerf since it's kind of limiting reksai's item choices
but she's annoying so idc

All the intensity of turn based combat games.
Makes it sound kind of appealing actually. I'm down for some 90 minute games

It's more the principle of the thing. It was a bad change with tons of feedback about and seeing it go through only to see it reverted like a week later pisses me off
