Blitzcrank really needs to land the hook in the same way morgana needs to land her bind, that's what I'm trying to point out. I really don't agree at all.If you pick morgana it is only because enemy team has something retarded like vi/yasuo so you can stop their combo.You could miss every bind and only shield whoever gets vi ulted and ult yourself and be useful.She is situational doe just like blitz.

Yeah of course she can be useful, i wasn't trying to imply anything like that (sorry if i did), but merely further commenting on what Locicero wrote about her viability as an AP compared to support. It makes sense to play her as a support, because then you wouldn't be the one having to initiate the fights, because you have a proper jungler/top to do it for you, and that means the binds are much easier to land, because it becomes a peeling tool for your AD/AP.

Eve wasn't too fast in s3 compared to the rest, but her Q and E are crazy good to kill that pesky minor camp you need to hit 3 on your second buff, so she gains a lot of time there.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Runes, masteries, skilling order, how to play it? Runes: MS or AP (or Mpen, if you really want) Quints Mpen reds armor yellows whatever you want blues (flat MR or MR/lvl works for a "balanced" page) Masteries: Either 21/9/0 or 21/0/9 (former gets you abit tankier, but latter gives better sustain and MS). Skilling order: W-Q-Q into gank. Level up Q first if you want better ganks, W if you want better clear. You can ignore E if you really don't feel you need it (and go W-Q-Q-W for the first 4 levels), but against junglers like Vi at level 6, you can negate their entire gank attempt with 1 point in E since they can't break it or land any CC. Won't save you against Kha. Just realize your Q has an insanely high duration if you max it first, so you should leverage it in ganks, and you're ranged, so you can leverage red buff well in ganks. R makes your ganks super scary if they're even remotely past river and you can flank them. Jungle speed: farms fast once you get items (and blue buff def helps), but the initial clear is modest early on. Note your Smite procs your passive, so you get pretty good sustain overall with Spectral wraith/Spirit Stone. You clear wraiths easy.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

This is true. She doesn't do as well vs traditional supports either. Someone like Sona just pokes you down. But you manhandle someone like Leona like no other.
In a similar vein to Morgana Jungle, try Zyra jungle. Less sustain, but ganks are just as brutal (has a very good AA range too). Plants help tank camps.

Yasuo still needs more nerfs

She was very fast in season 3 as well. In ~150 Eve games, I don't think another jungler made it to top lane before me a single time.

Repost. But yeah faker is pretty good.

Isn't this like months old lol

Soloqueue so hard right now.
Matchmaking all over the place.
QQ
My last game was 2 golds, 1 bronze, 1 silver, one diamond, against a team 4 platinum and 1 gold. I so tired of my placement matches man.

Is anybody else having weird experiences with champion select since the patch? Before I'd be in the top 3 in the vast majority of my games. Now I've been last pick for over half my games. What's going on?!

For duos, the captain is always 1st pick if he randomizes 1st pick.

First game in the new ranked season and I pick my good ol zyra support. I go the cdr boots gmallet into lyandries build and its just like rock and roll all day ever day.

Cassio super strong if you play a lot of support/AD botlane IMO, the hardest part of her is positioning and being patient-- you never burst anyone, you just plink away until they back or do something stupid, then you give them the D(ps).
Morgana is an amazing support. Paired with any AD who lacks a true escape and has strong damage (Cait, Draven, Ashe even possibly) she can be the support Soraka could never be-- press one or two buttons, let her AD farm and win lane. Draven Morgana is the stupidest lane ever and me and my duo played it from Gold 1 to Diamond last season because there's no way you can fight Draven without CC'ing him. People tried, people lost elo.

Morg support is never worth picking. She takes too much skill to win consistly versus good players, and you have safer and stronger options. Why bother?
|

I can't fucking win with Morg support this season. I had a nearly 70% win rate with it with 40 games played in Season 3 but I've gone 0-6 in Season 4 so far and I've just lost the will to play it
