His vayne micro is probably the best around though, can't deny that. hsgg mentioned in his mini-ama, that he think chauster+dl botlane is one of the best, and that a lot of korean teams are forced to cheese the shit out of botlane to even remotely get a chance to deal with DL in lategame. | ||

I read blind, went back and edited my post but left it as blind somehow. I did mean draft. If you do well in Draft normals and feel confident in your lanes/matchups/whatever then you can do fine in ranked. | ||

I mean for one thing, it's not that difficult to have "good mechanics" in LoL (go bw elitism!) especially if you're playing AD carry as your main (thousands upon thousands of games of csing) and for another, a lot of the time csing in lane depends heavily on jungle/mid pressure. The best "AD carries" always have amazing supports. Expecial, Chauster, Krepo, GosuPepper are all amazing players. Also when it comes to runepages it depends on what champs you play, Ezreal, Ashe, Corki use the same page. Ryze, TF, Fizz use different ones. No to mention that the difference between having a TF page and a Karthus page on TF is not much difference. | ||

As far as jungle/mid pressure is concerned on botlane, Cs is only affected if botlane is being camped 100% of the time, and even so, I've seen Chau/DL camped 4v2 on bot lane so hard, yet DL still ends up with equivalent if not more cs than enemy AD. | ||

Baron always attacks the closest target. | ||

Maybe I just haven't been watching Dig enough Well, I think the support skill ceiling is so low that it's easy to find someone who can play the role satisfactorily. In fact, I am willing to claim that any 1400 Elo player can be a professional support player after intensively training for 3 months. I believe the support player in a pro-team requires a lot of SOFT skills (i.e. people skills) that can support the team both in gameplay and psychologically. In fact, it's a lot harder to perform well as a support in soloQ compared to an organized team. For example if you are Soraka, using your ultimate timely is quite difficult in soloQ as you have to keep a closed eye on all your teammate. In organized teams you can just listen to your teammates to do it. On July 19 2012 05:39 MooMooMugi wrote: If anything I thought Qtpie would be kicked, not good guy L0CUST.

Have you ever played with a support over 2k? It's like playing a different game. I don't know how to explain it but support does not by any means have a low skill cap or require "soft" skills exclusively. | ||

But it's still much harder to land your Cass's Q while kiting your enemies with E in a chaotic teamfight than clicking Shurelia's and spam Q as Soraka. I am sure EVERYONE agrees with that. | ||

For example if you are Soraka, using your ultimate timely is quite difficult in soloQ as you have to keep a closed eye on all your teammate. In organized teams you can just listen to your teammates to do it. In your dreams. You ALWAYS have to keep an eye on all 10 players as support in fights. Your allies can't call everything (and if they did, you'd not be able to understand a damn thing because 4 people would talk at once). In fact any non-support is focusing on certain stuff which hardly ever is their allies, if one of them calls for a Soraka ult that might still be a horrible call. Laning as a support requires loads of knowledge about 2v2 matches and jungle interactions. Much harder to learn that just 1v1 + jungle simply because there's a lot more different setups. If anything, support skill ceiling is higher than any other roles.

I am sure EVERYONE agrees with that. Nope. Cass only has to focus on the closest enemy and herself. The rest is pure mechanics with hardly any timing involved (spam Q on every cooldown, duh) and that's the easy part in LoL. Soraka has to properly time Reverie, Silence and Heals, on the right targets. Standing at the right spot to be able to cast your spells on the right targets without getting killed requires good positioning (I'd say that's mechanics). That kind of positioning is harder than the positioning of an AD (or casters like Cass) because it requires actual judgement calls. | ||

I am sure EVERYONE agrees with that. Yes absolutely, I was talking about laning bottom while also being perfectly "aware". The best supports always have an eye on the mini map while maintaining position in lane, being prepared to land abilities, remaining cognizant of ward timers, and judging opportunities to deny/harrass/counter harrass. Soraka is also one of the only supports you could make the team fight argument for too. | ||
