On the other hand, I am pretty much at 1100 ELO so i don't think anyone is smart enough to try these things yet. I feel you man.... I'm just pushing bronze and I'm lucky if I get someone who knows what support is. | ||

Just freeze the lane and you win basically. If you put Cho/Udyr/Irelia top vs Taric and you win. Janna is just going to let you farm if you play defensive. You lose if you go aggressive but they can't do it either and since they barely scale; farming = win for you. ¨ Anyway Pantheon is so much fun on TT and I might pick up or force my ad player too pick up Garen vs Rumble on TT too. | ||

Sk, Fnatic and CLG along with another team in the same group. Giving TSM a fairly easy time to advance out of their group. Should be more worried about the support solos, so incredibly annoying to play against. As someone who went into ranked too early and abused Sona to immediate 1400s, I'm curious why she's not used solo ever when she's about as strong as she used to be now. Only downside is removal of Locket but fed Sona pushes are retarded. | ||

Kidding, but Support is the only role I don't have a character to truly play as. I mean, kayle isn't a support any more, and Galio is not very good at supporting compared to his tanking ability. | ||

Its a nice way to climb elo, but isn't as effective as say being a strong ap champ. You don't get major kills from roaming, but you give your teams nice ward control and a lot of sustain when they always want to group up and roam. It basically almost insures your bot lane won't fail with a proper babysit. The rest is just the standard crap shoot. I made my climb as Soraka, she is incredibly easy to play and really quite effective, I would try playing her first if you want to learn the role. | ||

I think my real problem is that none of the characters I play are the best at what they do. AD carries: Kayle and Ezreal, who are easily outclassed by like Cait and Ashe. AP carries: Swain and Gragas, There are plenty of better AP carries out there like annie and orannia. Tanks: Galio, Maokai, Shen, Amumu (he is good but always banned), All outclassed by singed/cho/alistar/whatever Junglers: Xin Zhao, There are better junglers Support: None... | ||

 Well, free Mao and Kog this week so I'd be a happy man if I didn't have a 3 days trip planned.  Btw, is Kog as viable as AP than as, say, AS? My only AD champs right now are Irelia (offtank) and Ashe (barely play her) and I get told to rather get MF or Caitlyn if I want to play some AD, but MF seems quite plain, so... Anyway, I didn't even play that much Swain since I bought him. Free Galio was a treat, and I end up as tank a large chunk of my games because noone else wants to do it. Instalock AP ftw! | ||

That's why you use normals to learn OP imbalanced stuff. I've practiced characters I don't even like like jungle GP and Yorick just because they were OP for like a month. | ||

It's funny because you said Soraka is an amazing support. | ||

Whatever, if they nerf Sona + Taric + Soraka heals, it just means I can start playing Janna more again. | ||

edit: if they're going to make Sona AND Soraka heals worthless... how many supports are there left in the game? Zil, Janna, Taric, Karma, maybe blitz, is there even anyone else? | ||
