Am I overdoing it about looking forward to the next-next-champ? :x
won't blue just reset?
On another note, I just won a very even game by a ~20 minute surrender because according to the other team their nasus jungle was a bot. rofl.
if you pull blue to the corner where it goes into the bushes at dragon/baron it'll stand there, not sure about the little lizards tho

i hope your argument is that people are bad and not that you should stop using ignite

karma is really bad against aoe comps though because her best utility is for helping 1 person
in december, SG ran karma/riven against kennen/karthus/amumu, figuring the power of riven (she was op at the time!) plus the unexpectedness of karma (it was great, it was at a lan and when we picked her, we could hear the other team from across the room all go "KARMA???") would eek out a win. we pulled ahead during laning and were taking first dragon around level 10. they caught our support ali a bit out of position and flash-ulted and aoe'd like crazy. even with riven's powerful self-shield and karma's support, she melted and we lost the teamfight like 1-4 despite being up in gold going into it. looking back, if we'd had solo soraka or solo janna (for the heals on both, and the pushback with janna) i'm positive we would have won the game.
karma's shield/tether are very strong against pick-'em-off comps that involve the likes of warwick, singed, blitz, darius, etc etc. if you can have someone be the "bait" so to speak, to get thrown into their team and have karma use her shit on them, it can be powerful - but even then the question remains: "why not orianna? why not zilean?"
and another situation that karma is good in is long, drawn-out fights where she can repeatedly shield and heal (but not too long, to the point she runs out of mantras). those are kinda rare at the moment though
i think karma's viable as a niche pick, just not against AoE or in the current meta at all tbh. she's better in a bruiser-centric meta and we are currently in a ranged AD meta. she'll have her time someday it's just not now IMO

Is Aeliel a girl? She acts like one but you can never know.

I think people should get ignite less since it's a laning only spell unless you're using it for the healing reduction. There are some really obvious cases such as for ADs, cleanse is 1000000000x better than ignite for fights and sometimes as good if not better for laning.
Having Blue not reset over the wall depends on your positioning and vision. Basically abuse what the video shows below, but from behind the wall. It's how the Red leash to brush behind to steal it works. Sort of.

idk but she would definitely be the best girl ever, her mechanics are actually decently sick.
Support taking Ignite would not necessarily be bad. After all, there's a reason the split of Heal-Exhaust or Cleanse-Exhaust that had the Exhaust on the Support. This way the Carry can have the far more selfish Summoner, while the Support runs the Summoner that gives teamfight presence. Ignite would simply provide a similar function in heal reduction and mini-burst. If the Support accidentally takes the kill, it's no different from a stray auto accidentally taking the kill. And if Ignite picks up the kill from a distance, that's a kill you wouldn't have gotten anyway.
If the carry takes cleanse, the support should almost always take exhaust imo, I understand M5 ran heal/ignite but I dont see any logic in that besides baiting in lane.
aeliel is indeed female but also annoying as hell, she doesn't really rage but every game she finds exciting new ways to be really annoying regardless of what team you're on
I usually end up taking Ignite on AD just because the support takes Exhaust a lot, and Ez generally doesn't need Cleanse in solo queue. However, if I was playing Kog or Vayne or something, I'd probably take Cleanse.

Ya and the team that wins 2/3 lanes or 3/3 lanes win like 80% of games. The case with ADC is the only time where the tradeoff might be worth it.
