I'm usually playing aggressive supports and I've had some bad experience with playing aggressive early on. But usually how long do I have to be passive? I've had a couple of games when I thought we played passively for longer than we should have. It depends on a lot of things. I know it's kind of an inane answer, but if you're playing vs an aggressive/kill lane, you play passive until you can fight them without dying. You just need a feel for when that is. Generally, it means you can't fight until you get support from the mid or jungle, so you're passive until it's no longer a 2v2 scenario. Farm, maybe push, and try to get the game into a teamfight stage where you can contribute more than farm and babysit to survive. | ||

PS: Ah crap Requizen, I hope they don't find out about Jungle Taric (Actually didn't he get some nerfs because of that?)I would recommend switching between a 0 9 21 and a 0 21 9 depending on if you're playing a tanky lane bruiser or a more pure support. You want dat gp5 on a pure support, but you can sacrifice a bit for the sake of being a complete bully on other champs. Far as runes go, you can play around with switching gp5 quints and movespeed quints depending on the situation. I play around with movespeed quints and gp5 yellows on Taric b/c of his armor passive. I don't think I'm at the skill level where it makes a huge difference though. But yeah, I'll probably need to redo that stuff for S3. | ||

I say best, but I really mean "WHY THE HELL DOES NO ONE EVER PUNISH CLG WHEN DLIFT IS AFK FARMING!" It happens in 8/10 games CLG wins vs. real teams. Jiji and Hotshot are behind for the midgame (when top/mid are strongest), the other team does nothing as Dlift gets 300 CS, then they win a teamfight at 35 mins, or splitpush and win. TSM kinda figured this out some time this last year, IDK why other people haven't. | ||

I tried 9/14/7 but it felt inferior to 9/0/21. | ||

I'm usually playing aggressive supports and I've had some bad experience with playing aggressive early on. But usually how long do I have to be passive? I've had a couple of games when I thought we played passively for longer than we should have. You play passive until you've become strong enough to be a threat to the kill lane. When you reach that point will vary wildly depending on jungle pressure, skill, gold income, champion picks etc. For example, it's a lot easier to reach that point on Caitlyn as opposed to Vayne. Typically once Caitlyn has a B.F. Sword she can harass the enemy bruisers and take control of the lane. Vayne, however, does not have the range to pull that off safely and has to either be extremely skillful, lucky, or remain careful for longer. | ||

If you really think you'd rather be playing a 4v5 you have an attitude problem, unless they're straight up 0/20 and walking into the enemy base repeatedly. If that's the case nothing you say is going to help and you should just report them for trolling. There are a lot of bad players. Calling them bad doesn't help them get better, it just makes them angry and likely will distract them into playing worse or convince them to not try as hard. | ||

Superior bush control. Ridiculous, someone tell me why she isn't going to get nerfed? I wasn't saying that she's not OP, but it feels awesome to get scores like 6/1/25+ as a support. You can build pure AP bruiser after the laning phase- I even made new rune and mastery pages called "carrysupport". Just played a game with AP Kennan top and Morg in mid. Teamfights were a joke with Zyra/Morg/Kennan aoe dmg+cc ults all popped. | ||

I was mostly saying that a bunch of NA teams failed to do that (usually when you are praising TSM it is in relation to the remainder of NA). | ||
