I think I just legitimately carried a game as a support for the first time. It was a lot of fun because I usually get frustrated feeling helpless by the late game as a support.

I was playing ali and our team was down in kills and turrets. I had much of the map covered in wards and i scouted them heading towards a brush to try to catch us. I called my teammates back and went in first. I got a ton of damage and cds out of them and popped ult so I didn't take much damage. Then I hit a three man Q and exhausted their vayne. I finished it off by rawring up some health for my teammates and we handily won a teamfight despite being significantly down in gold. Next teamfight went pretty similarly as well, though I didn't do much outside of bait damage in that one.

It mostly worked because they were bad, but I felt like madlife for about 30 seconds there.

Great job yea good supports are underrated. I love blitz because he feels so gamechanging. But one of the biggest things supports can contribute is vision control. Be forgot that. So important in comebacks (picking people off, setting up good engages) and to stay ahead for the same reasons. Keep up the good work

So I've been spamming ranked games lately, trying to hit diamond before school starts in a week. Gained about 30 points, 3-5 points at a time. Game thinks I should be higher now, so I got my first 7 for a win in a very, very long time. Feels good to finally see progress. Spamming ori games and just fotm picks in general seems to be working out extremely well.

Had a ranked game where top was called and then picked Janna. solo laners were wukong and galio so I told the team, no worries, me and corki will go top, just lane swap. Corki and I proceed to wreck. The sweetest moment was when our jungle elise came top at lvl 3 (for us) takes a tower shot, rappels, I take tower shots as leona, we get the kill and all leave at like 30%. Felt pretty baller ^^ Corki goes on to get 25 kills or something ridiculous and Janna starts splitpushing and solo'ing the people that try to stop her lol. One of the more enjoyable games I've had in a while!

I finally get my promotion series after almost 4 months of grinding in Gold 1 (lp went up with like 3 each game, i was at 30 points.) Excited me thinks he can handle that stuff easily and queues up for ranked immediately, but then this happens:

I'm pretty fed up about it, but decide to wait and play some normals, have some fun, etc. So this evening i give it a shot, and decide to try out my luck with Kassadin. And then: Magic!

Three back to back wins with Kassa, and i win my promo series! Felt fucking good.

Play normals, call support, lock sona, other dude picks ashe, rushes swifties boots as very first item, then bt. Still get him megafed regardless, he ended up like 12-3-3 and I was 2-5-19. Feels good man.
But when I tried to give him advice for better builds, he was like "don't criticize me" then when I said I'm not criticizing, I'm giving advice, to what he answered "well I'm doing good so I'm just gonna ignore it"

lol

I know I post a lot in the QQ thread, but I have to say, having 3 people reassure that you are doing very well as support laning with a bitchy adc is very gratifying. (Especially more gratifying when you (as a sona) kill steal some of the kills as payback. Not all, but enough to make him pay. >

That feeling when you catch their 6 item jayce with GA down as 400 armor top J4. To know that you kept your team in the game with catches and sick initiating despite being down 10 kills and 5 towers, it's just awesome.

Oh man. Just had a game as Rammus where we started the game 17-0 XD. I helped out in the first kill in a countergank on Lee jungle, then Aatrox gets the second kill on a Singed and it all snowballed to hell in mid and bot without my help.

There was one time I almost died and one time Graves almost did. But we carried on 17-0. Holy crap. Ranked is hard.

Game ended like 3x-6 after I threw a few more times XD

Also killed a fed Cait 3 times as top Jax in a losing game yesterday. That was fun. 2 times were 1v1s where we were both full HP before that. I know that's what Jax does and I got super lucky. The first time, I Q'd to her as she was netting so I landed near her anyways. The second time I caught her walking to bot lane near dragon and her net didn't go through the thick wall. I can't imagine trying to do that as Jax vs Cait when down 3k gold were it not for those factors.

By far, my best moment of LoL was when my friends and I were fighting a 4v5 and I was playing Graves. The enemy Nunu had roughly 3/4 health and was with his team pushing our mid inhib. I flashed then hit him with Collateral Damage and he vaporized. Doing that turned the game so we could win :D

Finally broke the threshold of 70 points in plat I. To think that I made it up from 10 points, 3-5 points at a time, probably the most time consuming effort I've ever put into improvement. Still have a ways to go til diamond, but at this point it's just playing more games.
