Please use the gameplay patch discussion thread for discussing item builds, champion kits, and other things related to gameplay. Please use this thread for discussion other things related to the game, such as the number of bans in ranked soloq, ranked teams, and competitive; speculation on game design and champion builds; toxicity in soloq; competitive integrity and sandbox mode; or how 739 is a robot designed to do nothing but Liquibet. We have a few other setups we might consider experimenting with and nothing is set in stone. Feel free to discuss in Website Feedback. |

I've been doing the baserace thing where we all just push one lane and we lose at around 20 minutes. I've been doing different takes on it to see if we can actually win the game. We can usually take a bunch of towers early, but can't keep the momentum going. I blame my teammates.

Gotta love how people bitch about the free wins too To be fair, if I was playing normals to get a champ up to snuff for ranked, it'd be a giant waste of my time. It's hardly a "giant waste", it takes 7-15min. There's always teambuilder or normal draft too
+ p/b phase, which is roughly another 10 mins at least.

I agree it is too low. But even if it was not, people would still do what gets them most ip. It is simply an oversight by Riot.

Only assuming you have fun int feeding to lose the game asap, otherwise youre just sacrificing your day so that you can buy champs/runes to have fun in the future because you can't reasonably achieve that by playing normally.
Im also s1 player with around 50% runes, 15 pages and still 30 champs to buy.

Why? I hate free wins just as much as free losses, I don't really learn anything from them
Free loses might even be better because you can fight against sick odds and try to get some kills

I have no life . playing since s2 got all champs and 20 pages, still 99k IP left

Just looking for a 3rd support after Janna and Naut. Can't decide between the 3.

Braum if you want the 'best' support of the three right now. Leona if you're yolo. Mermaid if you want the most fun :>
If you've got Janna/Naut, Leona fills the most playstyle holes.

I was wrong, runes are only 515, 1025, and 2050.
To play devils advocate, Riot's system isn't overly unfair. You don't need to buy all the champions to be competitive in ranked. In fact, a lot of people only play a handful of champs in ranked to get to high positions. So the IP grind just encourages people to spend real money in order for Riot to continue operations. So, in that respect, it's not totally unfair.
You could argue Dota 2 does it better by only offering cosmetic upgrades. Which is a fair point to make. They apparently also make more money per user on average. I think it's too late for Riot to go with an accessory skin system though.

if you're looking to play a support with an alternative playstyle to those two i think someone that provides poke/harassment in lane like Zyra/Velkoz/Lulu would be more appropriate.

That's true. The way I've always seen it is Poke>Disengage>Hard Engage>Sustain>Poke. Nami basically has it all.

Until you run into Yasuo Braum and cry as every ult is blocked

Hardly. Leona is a hard engage diving support while Braum is a anti poke and anti diving defensive peeling support.
Braum can work offensively sometimes by Wing onto a frontliner and Qing his target and blocking damage on him with E but that functions as peeling for a "carry" bruiser most of the time.

Don't you kinda need Blitz support to help Morde get in range? Although I guess Naut has more CC to help there, and same with Thresh.

That's cute. You think he's a) unbanned or b) people play him bot lane where I'm at.
