League of Legends v35 - Gangplank appreciation thread - Games

[QUOTE=KillRay;51494409]Man that's like basic league skill if that requires thought for you idk I'm almost lvl 5 with soraka and the only thing "difficult" is hitting q and transfering it[/QUOte] Yes because I implied its very hard. Totally. I'm talking about her effectiveness at keeping the other lanes alive and won during the laneing phase without rotating. I'm also implying that the hero is more than just a healbot.

I never even said the word hard lol... but you're talking about shit like looking at your minimap, basic back line positioning, and looking hp bars like its soraka specific skills

[QUOTE=KillRay;51494452]I never even said the word hard lol... but you're talking about shit like looking at your minimap, basic back line positioning, and looking hp bars like its soraka specific skills[/QUOTE] Every support needs these skills but I'm talking about the effectiveness of her ult in general due to it being unique in terms of being global and making the difference for winning someones lanes across the map.

[QUOTE=Gorm;51494467]Every support needs these skills but I'm talking about the effectiveness of her ult in general due to it being unique in terms of being global and making the difference for winning someones lanes across the map.[/QUOTE] glance at hp bars, - is someone getting low: prepare r key glance at minimap: - is it a 2v1 that they cant turn= do not press r key - is it a 1v1 or a 2v2= press r key - is it a tower dive= press r key its even easier to use in teamfights

It's alright, these same people who think support is easy are also the ones that play ADC and flame the support for "fucking up" when they die.

I'm not arguing that its a hard skill but an effective skill. It is factually true that you need to glance at peoples health bars to get the bonus heal when they are low depending on the situation.

I'm playing GP only, I guess that makes me a qualified Soraka player too then, since when I play GP I'm always on the lookout to KS with ult :v:

All this support talk I have played all fucking champs that fall into my hands as support. This is, backing up a ranged ADC while being AD (or AP, damage-shitting-person in general) myself as well. Then again I have played support Sven in the dotos. Supports in Dota are fun but here? Yeah I prefer using the many posibilities this game give you to shit out damage thanks Death is the hardest CC :v: DISCLAIMER: I don't play ranked or care about any meta so call me normals pleb or whatever, just saying what I do for having FUN, something some people here need. You can still do plays in retarded normals, let's not act all mighty saying ranked is a totally different retard-free experience. My advice is: Experiment

[QUOTE=Firecat;51494933]i mean its easy but it still requires you monitor being on and look at flashing pixels [editline]7th December 2016[/editline] the only credit i will give soraka is positioning in teamfights[/QUOTE] Wow you just generalized everything. Probably as a joke.

i'd rather play full damage glass cannon over a tanky flaccid dick, there is a substantial fun factor involved here

[QUOTE=Grindigo;51495033]i'd rather play full damage glass cannon over a tanky flaccid dick, there is a substantial fun factor involved here[/QUOTE] Ok, I like boring characters like Caitlyn and Veigar. "Fun factor" Is subjective.

thank god i almost thought someone would say pls leave my Nautilus alone, i'd cry myself to sleep if someone did

[QUOTE=Grindigo;51495102]thank god i almost thought someone would say pls leave my Nautilus alone, i'd cry myself to sleep if someone did[/QUOTE] AD Nautilus or no Nautilus. Walking is fun, but not enough. Full AP is also fun I guess.

once built trinity force on naut and hell a lot attack speed and crit, the animation is hilarious

I wish nautilus was more of a top-lane-tanky-bruiser type. I remember first finding out about him thought the "a new dawn" cinematic, and good lord, I immediately wanted to play as him. You can imagine my dissapointment when I find out he's supposed to be built full tank and just kinda sit there inflicting cc, when I was expecting something that moved at 2 miles an hour but could one-shot people with earthquakes. The separation between nautilus in film and in game still breaks my heart.

pre-nerf naut was pretty rage inducing too i mean if you went top lane and farmed better than your opponent, you'd go with the holy tank trinity build + abyssal scepter, you could tank for days and inflict damage over and over through your sheen proc spam, that's also pre iceborn nerf, the only thing that was stopping you from killing entire enemy team was going oom because of your ability spam

[QUOTE=Grindigo;51495102]thank god i almost thought someone would say pls leave my Nautilus alone, i'd cry myself to sleep if someone did[/QUOTE] Yeah Nautilus is pretty fun.

You can 2 shot ADC, supports and even some assassins even in late game, but you will have become another ADC wich means you need positioning and good timing, surviving being caught is not as common as when building tanky. But if you land a fucking anchor they are done for.

[QUOTE=Grindigo;51495033]i'd rather play full damage glass cannon over a tanky flaccid dick, there is a substantial fun factor involved here[/QUOTE] So do Lux support players :v:

i don't like lux or morgana as support even though morgana's black shield is always good versus ap heavy teams, but truth be told low elo morgana and lux support players just aren't good at keeping with their teams and they forget to shield, i could ironically write a list again why i think you are a degenerate by picking lux, but lux mid is okay, i don't care, it just works there is also a massive difference between lux and let's say annie support, lux's full "support" build according to champion.gg is way more expensive than annie's and that's because annie has the damage she needs from the start, she just needs penetration and she's still way more useful in the game when she can q stun and ult stun and do something with it lux support build is 14550 gold, annie support build is 12350 gold that's when you buy sightstone sure it's only 2k difference in total, but the core items for annie support is what, spell pen boots, rylais, zhonya and you are effectively useful? oh and rylais got cheaper too lux building spell pen boots, morellos, rabaddons, ludens, void staff, like come on, even brand support doesn't build that, this is 100% greed build on any ap support i'm pretty sure annie has easier time getting the gold needed too, she doesn't need to ks, but she can, can poke the lane better, she can sneakily roam with her ult to gank other lanes, and she only has one skillshot, can't fuck that up meanwhile lux is like, lul missed snare now you're fucked if it's a gank and you are out of position, didn't shield you cause missed it on you, then she misses her ult, or just ults down your minion wave to steal cs from you, that's every lux support player i had on my team so i'm biased annie can at least hard engage, like she don't give a damn, walks up with her passive stun prepared and bear ready to drop booty with f + r and it's a done deal shit, i'll take malphite support over lux any time, rock solid

Are you STILL whining about supports?

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51497387]Are you STILL whining about supports?[/QUOTE] are you still whining about my posts?

I'm glad I don't play EUW, Jesus. I frequently intentionally hit the casters with a W on Brand early to get level 2 and harass, you'd probably tilt all the way from top lane because of that.

i prefer to build frozen mallet on annie. fire n ice m8

[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51498280]Sometimes I wish I could play on NA with a good ping because a lot of the dumber players on EUW have such a weak grasp of the English language that my delicately crafted insults don't really work on them[/QUOTE] i even tried levelling account on na, but the ping is unbearable

[editline]8th December 2016[/editline] at least you provide good entertainment but it really must be a horrible existence when you play a game you seemingly dont enjoy for so long, im getting fezian vibes

i absolutely love killing lux over and over when she's on the enemy team cause they are so garbage, but god save the queen if she's on my team

Removing the stats for ranked from the client was one of the dumbest things Riot has ever done
