From my understanding is that you get a promotion serie at D1, but what happens if there aren't available spot in the league? | ||

Too bad the discussion got a bit overshadowed by the whole Elementz drama. Whole reason I prefer this to lolreddit is because it's not as unhealthily obsessed over drama  Neo's the cheap imitation. Everybody knows the real one comes when OOBBBLLIVIOOOON!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Uh oh, you guys summoned him but gave him no purpose. Now he's going to have to make use of his powers before returning to the Void.... | ||

So good. | ||

The animation followed by the sound effect and watching their dead bodies fall to the ground while I run in the other direction just feels sooooo good =) I think you are right in that. Playing Mundo in ARAM is deceptively fun. Spamming those cleavers and hitting them feels really great. Riot did something right there with the theme and sound. The other one is Lux's ult. To see how much burst is possible is really great. Same here is that the theme and sound works so well together. Plus, who doesn't like lasers. Ashe's arrow used to be really bad with the shuriken. Didn't fit the theme at all, and then they changed it to a real frost arrow. It's a tiny bit better, but not fully. I think the sound needs work, and I hope in the future they will refine that arrow to look much better. Jarven IV's Warrring Kingdom skin is just too good now. Makes his ult feel much much better. I think it's a shame when people don't use that skin with Jarven IV. I don't believe any of his other skins are as good as with the ult as this one is. On the other hand, I will turn around and speak about the opposite: If you talk about an ult that's disappointing throughout all of it's incarnations. Malphite's ult is just lackluster in it's sound and overall animations showing. It's supposed to be unstoppable force, but the sound doesn't do it justice. I also feel that it's a shame that they didn't alter knock up or ground animation in some way to fix malphite's sad ult issues(like they did with the Riot symbol on his ground slam). Although I will admit Glacial malphite is really well done. Especially the Q animation it has. | ||

I was just thinking about it, and there's little that's more satisfying to me than Whimsy-ing an Udyr as he Bears into my team. Similarly, hitting a fleeing Yi with a Zenith Blade is always just the fucking greatest. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about/have their own example? I am a sucker for a Morgana bind. I used to just casually ask my 5's team if they wanted me to initiate with #1 Bind NA. I'd land it and go balls deep and usually die because my team always assume I'd miss haha. Any kill in any way with Soraka or AP Ezreal. | ||

All Blue Items build (OP) and his gf (or w/e) goes "Yeah, for those just tuning in, Dignitas is disbanding and qtpie is subbing for CLG." BEST TROLLZ Yeah, in the manner of weeks qtpie's managed to build up a huge stream fanbase. Its pretty impressive how quickly he did it. Mainly cause he's so damn hilarious. | ||

I can't really think of any team setup where I'd want my weakest player on support all the time. If I had to choose, I'd probably try to hide him on AD. I actually find it kind of mind-boggling that so many people share this sentiment. Do you really think supports are low impact? Or that they are somehow easier to play (at a high level) than other roles? On April 21 2013 01:49 IamPryda wrote: O I am not saying a good support can't carry hence why thresh is banned so much. But in solo q I fine adc's to be the worst players even at plat on solo q. Maybe it's just bad experience but I feel like a good adc should adjust his play style to the supports not the other way around and in solo q I constantly get adc's who Think Bot is a dictatorship not a duo Whether or not an AD should adjust to you is irrelevant. Either he's going to or he's not. You can either opt to lose all the games where they don't make the adjustment, or you can make your own adjustment and have a drastically higher winrate. I think I actually commented on this earlier, but I find it really confusing that people who are otherwise willing to examine their own play for flaws just throw that out the window as soon as they're playing support because "it's the AD's fault".

I die after pinging, blowing flash and exhaust, and my ADC has gotten 3 more CS, with absolutely no followup or indication of knowing that he could have gotten a double kill. Much better to play stuff like "support" leblanc, help your ADC CS by getting all the ones he'd miss, and also take all the kills. This seems like an awful attitude if you're solo queueing. If you're going to play with that AD more, sure, go ahead and hash it out with him, but if you're in solo queue, it's really on you to figure out he's not going to follow before you feed a kill. If you've gotten them to 50%, then you can keep chipping away or zone them. You have so many options beyond an all-in that your AD won't follow. Being a good solo queue support is not about making the optimal play in a vacuum; it's about figuring out what your AD is going to do and playing around that. One of the guys I play with on a regular basis complains about this all the time. He plays in the same games I do, presumably with people of the same MMR I do, but he's actually gotten to the point where he won't play Leona with pubs because "they won't follow up". I haven't had a pub not follow my Leona initiate in months. Does he get more kills in lane than I do? Almost certainly. My lanes in these games only lose by any significant margin when there's heavy spillover from the rest of the map, though. I actually don't have any problem at all with awkward kill supports except that there will be a midgame timing where they have to choose between item progression and having enough wards, and most of the people that like to play that way will choose to give up map control. Especially now that Sightstone exists. | ||

All the roles need skill. Late game I like having my map warded and for my ADC to not die first every fight. | ||

Especially now that Sightstone exists. I don't think my attitude is wrong. I made a decision that I would make again without hesitation. Both enemies are at 50%, I'm at 100% with double summoners, and my AD is as well, and we have even creeps. It's bad because a level 20 ADC suffers from tunnel vision, not because it was a bad play. It is bad to go for suboptimal plays, because that teaches bad habits. If I can carry from support(through killing people instead of keeping people alive), then I will do it if it means my chance of success goes up. | ||
