If your team needs to wait on the support to finish FH at like 40 minutes instead of having Jungle/Top build it, something has gone very wrong.

I think it's more to make himself tankier even if his team already has one.

In 90% of cases, Armor is going to be Taric's least necessary defensive stat because of his passive armor from W.


Unless they're putting out some serious AoE damage though you never really need MR on supports like Taric/Leona/Blitz/Alistar. If their AP carry wants to burst me down over someone else they're welcome to it. And you generally have scaling MR glyphs + aegis anyway.

A fair number of bot lane combinations have enough magic damage that if you're making a generic support rune page it's still worth getting flat MRes in Blues. (Corki, Ez, Trist, Leona, Taric to name but a few). If you have enough rune pages to make specialised rune pages for specific supports, then you are a richer person than I haha.

Also, as for Yellows I have only ever liked GP10 Yellows on Leona and Taric. Even then, Armour Yellows would also have worked fine.

Interesting, I only use gp10 yellows on passive supports, and opt for armor yellows for leona and taric, (all while keeping gp10 quints).

Imo it makes more sense the way Chiharu does it. Taric/Leona have natural defensive steroids from their respective Ws so the need for armor is much lower. Passive supports, while they won't be front-lining as much as Taric/Leona, they will and do take hits here and there especially in lane where the support makes a lot of the plays. Couple that with the fact that most supports have low base stats you're going to want to be a little tankier in lane or risk gettin blown up.

That being said, I use gp10 runes on all my supports but that's cause i'm too lazy to make multiple rune pages for my supports x]


My thought process behind the armor yellows on leona and taric, is mostly because when i choose these supports, I will play deadly aggressive on level 2-3. leona and taric are prone to getting shot at/hurt the most due to their melee kit, not to mention often the main target of counter aggression after initiation on a fight. When you go in for a stun on an enemy carry, this is what's going to happen. They're going to flash out/escape then start hitting you as hard as possible. the armor yellows help a lot. especially if you're taric and your aura is down due to using W.

also, after proceeding to win lane, you generally want to zone the enemy carry, you'll be prone to harassment during this time as well.

No you sir are doing it wrong. Rush mejais, don't look back. 20 stacks at 20 mins.

Support soloing their AD cause you're GEMS.

Ms quints are unnecessary on supports. Ad carries are the slowest champs in the game, if you can't catch them with a cc with MS from your utility tree, along with naturally faster ms, with addition to bush usage, then those ms quints ain't gunna help you.

Not to mention, MS quints is something you want when you're winning in lane, they're fairly useless when lane is lost.
gp10 quints always relevant.

I've actually started using my "I've been countered by an ad mid" rune page on lulu, armor yellows AND quints, mpen. mres/lvl.

it's pretty hilarious how badly you outtrade the opposing ad before he shops, and they never expect it. (lvl2 pix srs business)

How to make melee carries work:
If they're tanky, spam buffs and heals on them. Most useful: Zilean, Karma, Lulu
If it's someone like Master Yi, no amount of buffifying will change that he dies before he can kill everything. Get a team full of AoE disables and damage, and let Yi clean up. Zilean is still supergdlkuseful here.

To deal with super kitey types, you need some hard engages (often overlaps with the AoE disables). An assassin in one of the lanes helps. In draft mode, you can ban things that you think you can't deal with, such as Ashe if you're running Nasus.

Why would anyone ever go mobies on supports, then?
Fact: MS quints WILL help you catch someone for your Headbutt/Pulverize/Tornado/Zenith Blade/Dazzle.
Fact: GP/10 quints won't help you do that.

Also, your reasoning is flawed. ADCs have escapes, they will buy boots2 before you do. They WILL be faster at some point, and you WILL want to catch up to them. You need to move a lot as a support, to roam, to place wards, to clear them when you have Oracle's. If anything, MS quints are the most versatile choice for a support, especially for Taric/Blitz/Leona/Naut.

Best generic support page is ms quints, arm seals, arm marks, mres glyphs. Fuck gp10, make plays.

Ms quints are terrible on supports imo. Pretty useless most of the time.... unless you do the whole roaming support meta thingy.

I can see them being good on agressive supports like leona, or taric but that's about it.
If the enemy ad carry has boots2 before you, which they should, ms quints won't help you anyways.

Taric is super godlike on Dominion btw. At about the 4 item mark you can 1v1 Xin, Jax, Yi, Trynd, and pretty much anyone else. You're kinda weaksauce for the first 8 minutes, but then you hit 40% CDR and some attackspeed and boom, everything dies.

Mobility boots on support have fallen out of favor, I don't think i've seen them on one in a longgggggggggggg time.

And you're talking about the difference between mobility boots additional MS, vs ms quints additional MS.

I just like MS quints more than gp10 quints, cus gp10 quints are seriously shit. 3 gp10 is 18 gold/minute. That's a ward every 4th minute or so, which is like completely neglible where as MS quints will allow me to do other things:

- Superior movement advantage over the opposing ad and support untill ad gets zerkers
- Easier time roaming and getting back to lane

But really the most important thing i've noticed is how many times i'm able to catch up to ganks when i'm running MS quints on anyone. A clutch soraka heal, clutch sona ult, the list is endless. No way can a ward every now and then be better than that. Ever

when I get to like 400 I just start taking 1 creep per wave tell them it's for philo you'd be suprised how often people understand how beneficial to you both that is, and it's waaaay more gold than shitty gp10 quints.

lets just say ever since The Yango convinced me farming =/= bad I've been getting aegis 10 min faster and it has not hurt my ad.

You're comparing a 1600 gold item which also takes a slot in your inventory aswell.

Don't take all this "supports shouldn't be getting cs" all that serious anymore. Even competetively i've seen supports netting a few cs now and then (and then there's gosu pepper who is actually allowed by genja to share his but that's another story). People realize how much of a difference 10-20 cs can make on a support, where as the ad carry won't really feel much of a difference.

And while we're at it, ad carries in solo queue (talking 1700 elo here) are still fucking bad at cs'ing and been playing roughly 40 games of support in solo queue, while at the same raising my elo roughly 150 i haven't recieved any complains from my ad, hell some of them even liked the fact that i took the cs they weren't able to get anyways.

I tried with vlad last time and he completly outcsed me , throwing ghouls on evrey cooldown he had. I cannot outheal that dmg early game, and he just has more and more advantage going later due to his superior cs :/.

Snowballing is part of the game. You get an advantage, and you use that advantage to create a bigger advantage, and so on. Nobody picks up first blood and then thinks "ok, now it's time to farm passively and not play aggressively at all, I got the 1 kill I needed." You take that advantage and you build it into a bigger advantage.

I agree you should be aggressive but I usually think "ok I have an advantage, now just not to lose it". It's a different mentality.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

People need to stop trolling...

MS Quint on support? Sure, you can walk faster to get that Dazzle in but you're looking at it in a chasing scenario. Of fucking course +speed is going to be better than no speed. But in a laning situation, how exactly are those MS Quints going to help you trade? Better position and common sense on how to lane makes up for it.

If you value outpacing your enemies so much, just get Boots of Mobility.

I do this too.
I'm a fan of clutch Soraka heals, zoomzoom around the map for fast wards and getting back into lane, poking with Sona Q with ease, etc. MS Quints just feels stupid to me. Runes are meant to optimize laning phase, not niche scenarios where X runes could be better.

So just because it isn't played by everyone it's trolling all of a sudden?
How are GP10 Quints going to help me trade in lane? It's not like you have to chose your quintessences based on what purely helps you trading in lane. Why would anyone besides APs ever run them based on that assumption?
currently rooting for myself.
