I just played alot of Alistar and now i'm actually really comfortable in my supportastar, nailing combos everytime just makes me so happy >_>.

let us know how it goes And you can definitely carry with supports. I don't main support but I've definitely have had games where I honestly feel like I carried my team as a support. It's usually with the more aggressive supports like Blitz, but you can do it. Carrying as a support is much much much harder and a lot more subtle, but it can definitely be done as long as your AD carry can last hit competently. flash/exhaust?
skill order?

I'm pretty sure he said he ran exhaust-tp. Dunno about skill order though.

That's why it isn't carrying for many people - you need decent ad carry to succed. Godly support with retarded rest of team is no good... Supports can carry. Hard. Back when Janna and Sona were stronger, I even had 80%+ win ratios on them while going from 1400 to 1800. Sure, now it's a bit harder because they aren't as powerful anymore, but they didn't lose THAT much strength. Janna's nerfs were substantial, but all of her skills still are among the most useful ones in the game.
Carrying as a support is also done a lot though the use of the enter key (OP as fuck), and by sticking eyes on poles into random places.

It doesn't matter how if your ad carry is "bad" anyone can carry if they're fed enough to 5 shot people, and theres enough wards on the map that they can't get caught.

For a real game, 1 point in stealth by at least lvl 4 should be mandatory, likely earlier. For a 1v1, you should probably ignore it, would only work if your enemy is stupid. Q's damage is more mana efficient, E is your only burst... Considering his plan of autoattacking people to death, probably Q max? But since your enemies would be interested in burst trades, you might want to go E instead (If they can get away with say a dash). Even without the passive being useful, R should be worth taking at 6.

The question sort of is; do I let the last-pick guy who yells MID! I CAN ONLY PLAY MID! MID OR AFK! play mid (and subsequently quite often suck and feed) because that's still a better option then to have him as a cursing yelling support, or do I go support and hope he's halfway decent, even tho there's a very good chance that i'm the better mid? On the other hand, if you are AD and your support is bad, you will also be stuck on a losing lane. The ONLY reason this does not happen as often is this *THING* called Soraka.... Healbot ftw.
You can still CS as most AD carries even if your support is shit. You'll fall behind in CS and lose your lane, your support might even get gibbed a few times and you could die at least once due to mistakes but as most AD carries you can still get farm in a disadvantaged lane with a bad support. If you're a support and your AD carry is bad you usually just have to hope the rest of your team is good enough to carry with an under-fed AD.

Sona and soraka are less obvious unless you've played them a lot though. They do an insane amount still.
I agree that they're less obvious but while I don't play much Sona I've 100% carried games as Soraka. Only one time did anyone recognize it though. Still, it feels pretty great when the enemy team is talking in end-game chat about how hard Soraka support carried our team. After the nerf to her armor buff I'm kind of worried about how good Soraka's team fight will be though...

He said he went E at level 1 (on Eve I mean), and I guess he's maxing it first since the flat reduction scales with levels and he relies on minions to do damage for him, E makes them hit harder.

Well her E hits really hard even with no items so I don't doubt it. Aswell as the reduction and the fact he's wanting minions to do most of the damage. so i dunno. i think if they make a slip up Eve could def win some lanes, but she's so weak i think they could swing the lane back to their favor in a heartbeat also

I've found that it's much easier to "carry" as a support once you get to 1500-1600. By then everyone is decent at the game and people don't go full retard as often, so providing vision and "supporting" your team well in general goes a long way. It can often make the difference in a game.

I've seen a dyrus game he streamed and he was just going on about how soraka won the game alone because of how much more useful she was than the blitzcrank because the fights were close but they'd also lose with the other team with a few left on low hp.

Going to play against Urgot top and Alistar jungle... oh I think it's going to hurt quite badly.

Awww wait wtf? Was the 1v1 Grudgematch thread deleted? I don't really see what was so offensive about it, especially since we might be getting more of these happening now... (ie. incoming Smash v Shake)

I hope you're trolling, I have harder time on my smurf in that ELO than in 2k

This is just chest thumping. Xizor shouldn't have been able to spew baseless talk about Eve for so long. That's my fault for not checking GD.
Mods are anti-fun. Not like the thread was just about Xizor.

How viable is AD Annie? Like straight up, how viable would you see her?
The reason ibask Is because I've been playing a good bit of Annie and her attack range is just too good to not abuse. She seems to have a good kit for it, aoe stuns, dmg reduction, and good base damage. Thoughts ?

I'm too lazy to check but I've heard than she ties for lowest attack speed among all champions and no steroids so I don't see how she has good base damage.
