[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51493033]Because I definitely named you in my post and was targeting you with it.[/QUOTE] You made previous posts like this targeting me or directly responding to me, so yes I assumed you did this again.

What would be the point? You don't listen to criticism. You don't want to discuss the game. You just want to yell about the people on your team. [editline]7th December 2016[/editline] Also I thought you ignored me because all I did was shit on you?

[QUOTE=Moofy;51491137]?????????????????? Bruh whatever you watched/read. Send me it please, I have no clue what you're talking about.[/QUOTE] Top search on youtube: [video=youtube;56oan7GNopQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56oan7GNopQ[/video]

No, you kept assuming I was, I think you are very judgmental and you didn't make the effort to find out if I wanted to discuss the game. I didn't block you, cause I'm not an asshole.

[QUOTE=Firecat;51493129]honestly i want riot to make a 4v4 gamemode just get rid of support please lol[/QUOTE] pretty sure they'd be more able to do that than make support fun to play

I wish Riot made more maps honestly, or stylized variations, just to keep more casual gameplay going.

I wish the maps had stylized options like Dota 2 does when it was switched to the source 2 engine. You know, desert map, Greek-styled map, etc. A way for the user to customize their own experience. Pretty sure the client would implode though. The base game is buggy and I'm willing to bet most of the older champions are a coding mess.

The player attack move click can be moved to any button, he has it on space for a specific reason that's unique to him. Most players that use attack move click have it on left click so they can alternate as the situations demands.

[QUOTE=Firecat;51493169]when i found out that riot enabled autofill 24/7 i actually starting laughing so much just about the fact that no one wants to play that shitty role compared to impactful, satisfying things. i bet even supports could enjoy things like ivern jungle given they didnt just play support to get boosted easier. when you have to force people into a role thats so heavily criticized as boring i think its fair to say you should look at it. even like i enjoy supporting in mmos but in league its like why play the actual supp role when i could just play naut top and ivern jg and do the same thing[/QUOTE] Support is probably one of the best ways to grind elo. You just gotta know who to pick and when to pick it, depending on the enemy team comp, the enemy bottom lane, and your bottom lane. Generally, something like a good Soraka or Sona healer can easily climb their way up into low diamond / high plat.

the only time i ever felt impactful in a support role is when i played bard and i could deal substantial damage with q+meep auto and thunderlord proc + ignite in lane and still have play potential around the map, it felt good

[QUOTE=Firecat;51493213]i wouldnt even consider soraka, sona, janna actually playing league of legends [/QUOTE] that's basically afk supports

[QUOTE=Firecat;51493213]i wouldnt even consider soraka, sona, janna actually playing league of legends [editline]7th December 2016[/editline] the only time i enjoyed supp was blitzcrank pre w nerfs, and that was only because of the champ not the role. build tear and mobis with homeguard rush and roamed with w'ing into lane and just running up and e'ing them because they try to be slick and side step when your in reality just trying to e them[/QUOTE] i played trundle support which was alright level 2 power spike is fucking brutal

it isn't fun to play these afk supports, like with soraka you are pretty much a healing bot who runs behind your team the entire game and being absolute nightmare to the enemy team if they can't catch and kill you, sure it's a free win in most cases, but does it feel fair at all?

If you say that Janna is an afk support, you were actually dropped on your head as a child

Thought it would work for me as well but I guess it becomes more difficulty since I need to get used to it and I always tend to use my mouse more rather then the keyboard. I guess I confused Moofy because of that as well :v

Because that clears things up

every time i watch qtpie and he says his sub line "welcome to bdc" i imagine this line is forever embedded in his brain by now, one day he'll be rocking in his chair looking out the front porch and repeating this line every time his relatives come to visit [url]https://clips.twitch.tv/imaqtpie/ClearOpossumOhMyDog[/url] that's why i love bard

You don't play Soraka as an afk heal bot, you need to be constantly aware of the other lanes post level 6 and position yourself accordingly in team fights. its all about juggling your health, the heal priority in your team, and who is where. If you think that Soraka is nothing but an afk heal bot, you are playing the hero wrong.

That sounds like bare basics of any role really, positioning and awareness. The rest is more related to champion, because if you don't do it then you are playing incorrectly. I still think she's a heal bot because that's what you see most of the time in games.

Soraka has one of the most powerful silences in the game if you use it correctly in teamfights too. She also enables your (crappy positioning) caryy to trade hits within the lane.

[QUOTE=Gorm;51493580]Most supports can't globally heal their whole team to swing around engagements....[/QUOTE] you just look at the portraits, zoom over to see what's going on and press one button, it's done, very skillful

[QUOTE=Grindigo;51493590]you just look at the portraits, zoom over to see what's going on and press one button, it's done, very skillful[/QUOTE] It wins teamfights and skirmishes early which, most of the time, allows the lane to snowball if they have any slight idea on how to use a lead. It had to do with effectiveness.

Having to play with Bronze players down from Plat during my placements is literally fucking painful, every single game has at least 1 person that goes 0-10+

We get to go trough placement matches in LoL? I never played ranked so I don't know. I thought you started from bronze and climbed your way up.

[QUOTE=SoftHearted;51493651]We get to go trough placement matches in LoL? I never played ranked so I don't know.

Then depending on how many you win/lose your matches you will placed Gold 1, Silver 1, Bronze 1. But even if you place low don't feel bad about it, it's only supposed to tell you that you need to improve. Even then 10 matches is nothing, top players have over 1k games by the end of the season even. Can someone tell me how to get players to do Baron in low elo games, I'm legit trying to get my teammates to assist, sometimes they will do it, even though Baron is free as hell they are always afraid to do it, what's the best way of convincing your team?

Old man Firecat here to enlighten us youngins about the real truths of the support role.
