I watched a soul disappear on it's own while speccing a game. Now I don't know what to think... Also, collect a million souls and build on-hit for the lulz. | ||

I edited my post, but basically even if you play exactly like a typical support does now you're going to have enough souls to have more base tankiness than any other champion in the game. If you really want to roam, you can go right ahead. But as people have already pointed out, what's wrong with sitting in your lane and facilitating the most broken jungle ganks ever?

I think he confused Thresh's stack of souls versus uncollected souls. | ||

We were up by 10+ kills and a ton of towers, had more dragons. We even got the top inhib, and baron once. But we could do absolutely nothing in teamfights because they had fucking leona, fiddlesticks, kennen and ashe ulting on top of each other. There's like nothing we could do in that situation because everyone melted. It's so damn stupid because we should've won that easily, but they just pressed R and won teamfights. what are you supposed to do? Splitpush, build items like Locket (stack them if you have to), crucible, bulwark, maybe zeke too for the lifesteal, QSS, or try to bait their important spells (if you get a grasp of when one of them tends to use his, Ashe for example) so you can avoid them and engage once their stuff is down. If you have the champs for it, you can also whittle down some of them with poke I guess (harder if Kennen has spellvamp, Ashe lifesteal and just Fiddle, obv.) and try to 5v4 while he is healing. Use wards to monitor the exits of their base and keep them pushed at all times so you can take potshots at towers and force them to split. Seemed to me that they disappeared after awhile. Maybe it was my opponent's as he picked them tho, it was pretty hard which were whose. On January 09 2013 06:40 TheYango wrote: So you have to BE there when the creep dies? Lame. Imagine how fast you'd rack those stacks otherwise. | ||

Because it's boring to stay in one place. I'd like the mechanic if it encouraged more support roaming. I could care less about how broken the mechanic is. I'd like it more if it encouraged more active support gameplay. | ||

I was just surprised that people were grousing about that when his math is so crazy. But then I'm the guy who finds Xerath interesting and exciting, so what do I know?  I think you meant couldn't care less. /snark | ||

I haven't tested jungle creeps thoroughly but they don't feel different compared to lane. Note that the large creep at each of the small camps always drops a soul. Also, souls last 15 seconds after they drop. | ||

Also, has anyone tried AP Koggles yet? I know that it probably sucks due to the huge amount of assassins and gap closers, but is the damage potential still huge? Maybe a tankier build could work? (Tear+Catalyst into RoA+Rylai? | ||

And the nerf to oracle certainly did not help. The ability to force someone to buy pinks is pretty damn good though, isn't it? If we were to talk about junglers, then you'd need a few pink wards to keep safe, which is a pretty big investment when the champ could easily be going up to another lane. If it's a champ in lane I guess that's a bit different. | ||

In addition, supports going to other lanes is a lot harder to do since it's easier to know if they're mia, isn't it? | ||

I've seen them wreck in soloq. | ||

If it's a champ in lane I guess that's a bit different. In theory you always need to get pink ward to deward, but noone cares.. and bear in mind that someone who has invis will always forget to get survivability items, making him way easier to kill with truesight. | ||

I tend to carry pinks all the time as support. Philo+Pick and sightstone for me normal wards make pinks very affordable. They give you great area control, and carrying a pink in a teamfight with an Akali or a Eve is huge. | ||

He has range(granted it's somewhat low) to last-hit minions/harass at level 1, and gains huge threat at both level 2 and 3. Can variably skill depending on what his partner brings, and scales fine without taking CS. I feel like that's where he's going to be seen most, severing a Leona-esque role. | ||

The question is more directed towards bruiser+thresh, because he has the ability to bring a shielded angry melee with full cooldowns right up to a squishies face very early on in the game. | ||
