Anyone else with the similar game experience as me where solo queuing if I have to play support I win about 50% of the games, but if I can play carry or mid I win roughly 75%? :'(


You're a bad support ?


I agree I'm a terrible support, but I simply have to pick it because no one else would and I'm not even that bad 4.8k mmr and I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly back when I started playing at 3.5k people used to pick more supports than in my current games. I guess what I'm trying to say is that 4.5k+ is mmr hell, 3.5k is mmr heaven. You can't get enough mmr to get to mmr heaven, you can only drop enough mmr to get there.



First game after I wrote this our pudge waits for creep to spawn at the incorrect block spot. When creeps spawn instead of blocking them and going to the lane he runs to the fountain, waits to get 650 gold, buys bottle and walks to the lane, missing 2 full creep waves. He soon starts feeding. After the game we see his mmr, it's 5.2k. It's like something is trying to prove my point that higher you go in deeper mmr hell you are.

Someone explain to me the point of phase boots on Ember. It's 900 gold for a small boost of mobility (that Ember doesn't really need) and +24 damage, which doesn't convert that well into SoF. That's 900 gold for something that slightly boosts SoF, at a point where SoF is Ember's worst spell (early-midgame) for damage.

How do you figure that the damage doesn't convert well into SoF? The ability to shove two of the most cost efficient damage items in the game into an item that has no alternative upgrade path is pretty good.

That was a flashy result recap, at most. Calling it a TI4 movie just doesn't bode well.

because Phase' damage is negligble in the lategame and SoF only starts doing major damage lategame. Those 900 gold are much better being spent on drums/bfury/skadi/bots/vanguard (if you're rtz) IMO.

But maybe I'm just biased against the Phase/BFury build.

It's also nice because it gives you that extra chasing ability when you don't have sof to get a good chain off. So unless you're going to just not upgrade your boots until bots they're the best.

Also I think that the movement speed is good for remnants? Because they move at 2x his movement speed so phase helps?

You clearly underestimate the damage and mobility provided by phase boots early game.

There isn't a more cost efficient damage item besides rapier. The alternative is having brown boots and spending your money less efficiently on another damage item.

Damage is cumulative. All that matters is how much gold I spent on X damage and that I have enough slots to carry all the items I bought. You're going to have boots so you might as well upgrade them.
