[Patch 4.21] Rek'Sai General Discussion - Page 52

I've finished the preview and I liked what I've read. There weren't any new things in it for me, but it's nice to know that I don't suck because of messing those ups. Helped me a bit to settle some of my inner debates about some warding locations as well, which alone obviously won't skyrocket me into master, but I can speak from experience that the little things do add up.
I am, however not sure how helpful it is for example for a silver player. We've been through countless "help me, I'm bronze/silver, want to reach gold!" threads and having an awesome baron or dragon securing ward placement was the least of their issue. I know, it's just the preview, it surely touches on the basics, but even the way he phrased things, leaves some things hanging in the air for you, so a lower elo support might want to ask two or three following questions. For example, he mentions level 1 strength but does not explain when is your team stronger or weaker lvl 1 than your opponent. Personally, I like it, because I hate reading stuff I already know, but I'm fairly convinced that a lower elo Janna player might think his team is weaker lvl 1, because she only has a shield, failing to realize that her Q alone can win one.

Reading through the titles, there are some stuff I'd like to read a challenger support's perspective on, but I'm not yet decided whether I want to spend money - though it's quite cheap - on it, or not. It's sad, but from mid plat onwards we are starving for people giving us supports valuable lessons. Sure, we do debate with each other, which gives us perspective, but it doesn't compare to the days Nhat Nguyen used to stream. First of all, he was challenger (or high d1, before challenger existed), so it made it easier to actually follow his advices, even if up until that point you thought the exact opposite on that particular matter. But even watching him play was like a new world for me. I'll never forget how he just started Q with Soraka and went rambo; it just showed you how this game is not won by pussies. I used to stay up until late night when he had an all-Sona or all-Janna day, but he played Blitz as well. I copied my first non-traditional support rune pages (aka not the standard gp/10) from him as well.
Today, you can rarely see challenger supports stream, and even then it's fucking Blitzcrank or Thresh. Two champions where the most crucial part of gameplay is landing Qs, everything else is secondary. Also, laning is different with them than with utility supports.
LastShadow has some vids where he is coaching some guys with Morg support, and it's cool, because he's kinda like me, no sugarcoating; if the Morg fucks up he straight out says that was fucking terrible, but that's it, and even those vids are a bit outdated,

What do you think?
