Dont forgey darius and garen, although they probably go full damage.

Same with amumu and malphite though

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

As a support main I've decided to just ban Lucian all games unless my adc wants to pick it. The two games it got picked we just steamrolled over the botlane and even had one Lucian get a penta. Feel like the champ is busted atm, along with Zed.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Dont blame the poppy. Its incredibly easy to make kills as him in support role.

Had a malph/ori combo yesterday where I hit 5 people with a malph ult, and ori didnt press r. Ugh

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Try to avoid playing Ziggs when they're running hard engage and assassins. Lissandra kinda works with everything.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I got bored of ranking after my third account go gold so Ive decided to get as much champions at lvl5 as I can. Im at 12 now and now that aram gives mastery points its a lot more fun although aram has decided I need to rank Leona since it gave me her three times in a row

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Have three pbe accounts iirc. But with the servers being in NA I just ended up giving up on playing because the ping issue is retarded

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I had a winrate avaraging 69-66% from b5 to g5

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Voli isn't a bully. He just kills people

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

A good yasuo know how far he can overextend with his dashes through minions.

Meanwhile, sup lulu/tahm is back boys

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Zz'rot def item as ADC

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I'd only consider buying Zhonya's on an AD for cases like Rengar, where he jumps on you, you Zhonya, and he dies instead of you. Other then that it's not worth it

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I'd only consider buying Zhonya's on an AD for cases like Rengar, where he jumps on you, you Zhonya, and he dies instead of you. Other then that it's not worth it

why does ga not work?

the cooldown, mostly

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Such a fan of dynamic queue. Found a group of people that are comfy in their role and we all climbed 2 divisions by playing together already. Am now Gold 3 aiming for plat. My 2 others smurfs in their promos for Gold 4

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Your toplane choices are fine, dont listen to Panzer. In a game where everyone wants to play carries, having a solid initiation champ thats also a tank works wonders. And you still have a strong lanephase with those. Malz and Brand are fine. New Sona and Nami are also super strong lane bullies even with a bad adc on your side.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Nope

Yes? You can carry some of the worst AD's even out of lane and work from there

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

And then there's the full ap Sona/Zyra/Lux supports without sighstones.

But it feels really bad to fall behind as support and then get picked off every time you try to create vision. But Im still not bored playing as support for two years. Still feel precious about my 12 lvl5 supports

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

So my opponents have selected Karma and Cait... and then my last pick ADC picks Vayne... wtf

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I thought Teemo jungle was the superior choice nowadays. Definitely seen that slimy thing snowball from the jungle

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Then just play Malzahar. He just ults people under tower and has good waveclear

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Nice. I like getting lvl 6-7 champs. Managed to finally get Janna, and then randomly got shards for Mundo (in a losing game) and Poppy. Good stuff

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Normals... woo, my Sivir is lvl 27 and their Kog is diamond 1. 400 MMR difference in game. We even get red side. "Fun"

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I remembered yesterday why ranking in the weekends is a bad idea. So many bad games yesterday. Had a game with a Yasuo top and Yi jungle that tried to 1v5 every time and lose. Had a game where we lost all inhibitors, and the enemy Kalista was insulted because of their Gragas, sold all her items and bought tears and proceeded to run into our base so we still eventually won. Then we had a Katarina smurf that went from Gold 4 to Gold 1 in a night and carried my game, same for a Wukong. And so many toxic people. Holy shit

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

You can just run exhaust, stay as much under tower as possible and rush zhonya's and you should be fine. Yes, you'll likely fall behind but it's better then feeding

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Syndra really can't fall that far behind. Her ult will still pop squishy's in the mid-late game.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Yorick is disabled for worlds. Read the patch notes better next time.

So I decided to continue playing ranked. Went sup/bot pref, got 4 times sup, lost 4 times. Then decided fuck it, I'll return to mid/bot, got mid 4 times, won 4 times.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Went from gold3 0lp to gold2 0lp in a day. Feels good

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I usually go IE on Ashe unless they have a heavy dive comp and the chance you'll be DPSing safely is rare to none. Then it's just better to get the CDR and initiate the fights yourself before you get jumped.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Spoiler: Picture

I love being called shit by accounts that are clearly bought/boosted.

this so much. Played a couple of ranked last week and encountered a former diamond that had a 40% winrate and was now Gold 4. Also played against a booster that was Bronze last season and silver2 now with a whopping sudden 86% winrate. So satisfying to beat that.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

They just need guidance. Lead them to victory

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Gonna play the shit outta that when it comes out.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

He kinda deels like the planned Yorick rework they scrapped and made a new champion out of

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Just ordered the board game. HYPE!

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Nah, Zac still wins all

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Can confirm. Went from b5 to g5 with playing random stuff like skarner top, nunu top and zac top. Fun times

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Honestly if you get banned you're just stupid. Venting in chat towards anyone just achieves nothing for morale

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Went 20/0/18 as Zilean in that mode. They just walk into bombs

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Gl Psyche. Go get that victorious maokai

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Support Goals

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

only one level 7? what is this, amateur hour?

Getting S as support is still cancer. And that lvl7 was Zilean mid

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Yeah no. Had games where I went 3/2/22 and still getting a+ despite placing a ward a minute

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

The main issue with getting an s as support is games ending too soon. If the game is a stomp and you didnt ks during the stomp , chances are you arent getting that s

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I'm busy with her senpai. You havent seen my bard and blitz yet though (theyre lvl3)

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I wonder how long it takes for the mf support to die down. Was against an Ashe/mf lane yesterday and as soon as Ashe ulted I just dropped my leona ult on mf and she only had the chance to fire two shots of the mf ult. That shit is so telegraphed and bad haha

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

mf supp shouldn't be played into a leona, that is awful.

It's possible MF was picked earlier than the Leona?

It wasn't

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Got Gold 2 70LP, Gold 3 50LP and Gold 3 0LP. Am satisfied with my 3 maokai skins

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Just played against an Ivern. He's pretty tanky.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

God sometimes I hate my carries. 40minutes in and neither of my carries have a last whisper and void staff against 2 tanks. Ofc we lose our lead then

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I've come to the conclusion that as support, it doesn't fucking matter what you play in gold. I have a 100% winrate on warwick support because people are stupid

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Rammus jungle 4/0/11 is A-. WTF rito

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

This old/new client shit is really buggy at the moment. Managed to gift my friend elementalist lux for free because the old client gave an error during the gift and didn't substract any of my rp. Nice going riot

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

No, but I think as long as I don't log into the old client anymore it might not substract it at all anymore

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

i've had experiences where my displayed RP didn't update after a purchase, until i tried making a new purchase

This. Also, I was prevented from buying a Hextech champ shard the other day when I had 1900 IP. Only when I almost had enough for two of them did it "update" or whatever.

Bought a key and nothing changed so I'll say it's safe

ayy let's go

Progress

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Chests per champion are reset

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Played a couple of flex games yesterday and went 3-0. People still don't understand Zilean and go in in the classic 6v5

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

you can call it a 6v5 but does zilean really count as a full 1 without his revive

yes. A good Zilean lands aoe stuns and lands a huge slow with e>w>e

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I mean, so does syndra, the slow is aoe as well, and she has another damaging ability, and her cooldowns are better than zileans combo. Do think zilean might be a little worse if you took both without their ult.

Syndra is much more immobile because she doesnt have a self speed to run away and zilean can save himself and stall when getting caught. If syndra doesnt pop off shes much less useful then a zilean is

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

All Zileans abilities will remain usefull if the Zilean in question is a feeder. He can still help another carry carry with all his abilities, while Syndra when feeding can only provide a stun and not a lot of damage.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Nonits just a realistic perspective of the you win some you lose some subject. Syndra wins harder, but loses much harder too when behind

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I was watching an old replay of mine yesterday of ap sion mid with dfg. Holy shit that stuff was hilarious

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Assassins rarely control the meta unless you're low elo. They just snowball super hard when getting ahead. But with no nerfs to collosus assassins shouldnt have much foothold

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Just had a placement game that had 84 kills in 30 minutes.

Riven/Elise/Yasuo/Caitlyn/MF vs Fiora/Fiddle/Zed/Jinx/Taric

Got an S+ as Taric

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Got tired of playing support in shit elo.

Queue up for mid/sup

Still get sup all the time. I thought this shit was fixed.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

If you just play carry mages botlane it's almost the same

I wish that were true, but the disparity in games at silver is just so bad that it's sometimes literally uncarryable. Had a botlane as zyra where me and my sivir managed to roam all three outer towers to kill them. Then we still lost because we had a full damage xin and a tank veigar

Had a game where I managed to make my Vayne fed. Meanwhile, top went 0-5, lost two towers and then ragequit leaving us with a fed akali who could oneshot our vayne.

Then had another game where people were already argueing in champ select and someone "accidently" banned yasuo who someone else wanted to pick, so that person was just hellbent to feed his ass off.

Some nights of league. Ugh

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I guess thats true. But it becomes frustrating to a point where you'll actually doubt if youre playing the correct champs in say zyra, velkoz and tahm

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Yeah but I dont have 4 friends lol

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

How about the classic Yasuo/Malphite/Oriana/Ashe/Sona

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Mf sup is honestly disgusting. The damage is beyond stupid and theres little counterplay. The only sad thing is she drops off after lanephase.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Went 8-2 in placements and got Plat 5. What do I do now that my goal for the season is already done =/

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

After 3 failed surrender votes, I was on the red team.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Do RIVEN mains ever give up? Do YASUO mains ever give up? DO VAYNE MAINS EVER GIVE UP?

Keep playing bruh

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

All of Bronze

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool ... s_to_find/

league of graphs has decent new tool to compare your (or others') champion performance with others in your tier

That's pretty cool

Always knew my Zilean was diamond level

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Made a montage of playing 2 years of zilean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtfNr7qq3wg

Lethality is stupid atm. It isnt really a buff to adc anymore but moreso that any ad damage dealer is prefered over an ap damage dealer.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I feel that Alistar is currently way too easily punished by damage supports. He can still gain a lead with a good flash/pulv engage though

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

So you're pretty much giving up lane in the hopes of getting another lane ahead. Seems questionable. The thing with the e change is that you cant really sustain through the bad lane Alistar has anymore and you need to commit ewrly otherwise you just get poked out.
Hell, I even play Leona with hp/5 quints now to trade better in lane

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Well, I hope you never queue up with phreak because he'll get you a 2 week ban. Alistar has seen better days though , but he can still work in the right circumstances

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Changes to her Q makes maxing Q first useless so you just return to the nearly uncounterable poke of maxing e

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Not since the e nerf. Now his lanephase is shit. Go Nautilus if you want a strong tank

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

You could e q the backline at low level and win the push when e still did damage twice. Now Maokai just gets shoved in.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Feelsgoodman

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Go full defense with mana regen runes, pick up the coin and zone them off of you with bombs through the entire lanephase.

But you should try him mid. Him being able to chunk a team to half with a rotation is such a godlike feeling

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Got my first lvl3 honor capsule and immediately got Grey Warwick.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Finished flex queue with my friends and went 6-4 as three. I got gold5, my friends silver4 and silver5. Kinda awkward

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Kayscope on EUW. Always up for arams or normals

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I always get that feeling playing top. 9/10 times you’re just miserable if you have to pick before your opponent

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Let's just say I played top for a while and getting against stuff like Vayne/Teemo/Urgot a lot is so boring when you're a melee

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I enjoy ARAM but absolutely hate URF variations. I never liked the button mashing fighter games either so thats probably why

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

If you want to split you need to be constantly watching the map. If multiple people aren’t showing, back off until they are in vision again. If you play the cat and mouse game well without dying too often you will win those games regardless of how bad your team is

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

mmm i feel like your language is too strong. that strategy depends a lot on teammates doing stuff like, say, successfully avoiding unwinnable 4v5s

its bronze, everyone is gonna run around like monkeys and fight 24/7. Half the time they dont even notice someone is split pushing, let alone react as a team. Chances are just one comes and you just kill him and continue
