You're good at Graves, that's good. He's a monster in JG right now, lethality is great for him. I'd suggest sticking to Graves every chance you get and trying to invade against basically any JG who doesn't shit on you early - which is basically Lee and Elise and that's based on who gets the skillshots off on who. Kha'zix/Rengar are obviously good but still permabanned, Elise is very good early and pretty simple to learn, your Lee scores aren't good but if you put a lot of time into him he's generally fairly meta immune. For top GP is good into tanks but basically only tanks. He gets [i]destroyed[/i] by nearly every carry top laner by design. Your Teemo is alright, but he got hit pretty hard by the Fervor change since the best build was on-hit. He's still playable, but you'll have to look up the newest build. Irelia is still alright, Renekton is good, Jayce is flat out fucking busted, Darius is good, Riven is good. Honestly the only thing that's changed about top lane's meta is tanks are really good. Almost all of the carries from last season are still strong. For support, I suggest learning Karma or Lulu for if you have a relevant comp, and Brand or Zyra if you need AP damage. I know you like doing the deeps, but sometimes as support you just have to play the cockblock. Janna is good for the same reason, but Janna is boring as fuck for me as a support main, you'd probably kill yourself if you had to play her. [editline]19th February 2017[/editline] A note on invading on Graves, you still should play to your lanes' pressure. Most of the time in silver people are completely blind to invades, but sometimes you get that one mid laner or support who will immediately respond when they see you fighting their JG.

Hey, why not play on my Main again? You know, give it another go. >ADC/Support DID not SWAP > Vayne TOP ragequit after second death Ye.. so much for that

WHY WHY WHY [img]http://i.imgur.com/4Wnmw56.jpg[/img] He kept running into other people's lanes and doing nothing. He could never hit a hook and the ONE TIME I saw him hit one, he pulled an enemy away from one of my daggers before I could shunpo to it. Everyone was seriously underleveled and we got fucking stomped. I'm not saying I played exceptionally well, but holy shit I should have just dodged it before the game started based on our picks.

One time I got a enemy blitz that 90% of the hooks ended up missing or on minions. He managed to miss a hook when I was right in he's face. Also on a unrelated note I jumpscared one of my friends using WW's ult on like 2 occasions in the last 3 games. He was on my team :v

Found one of my old accounts that still has Judgement Kayle. Neat I guess, now too bad its only level 18.

I saw part of the last match, I slept through most of it. Scarra and Mark Zimmerman do a show called Post League Time every Saturday and Sundary after NA LCS to discuss the games. On Sunday they do week-based power rankings, and I'm really interested to see what happens to how yeserday's games affect them.

Does anyone know a good source for champions builds? I usually go to MobaFire to get a bit of a understanding on what itens are good for the character I want to play. But I wanna know if there are better places to go look for that sort of thing.

Probuilds.net.

So my level 18 smurf is being queued togethed with Gold 5's... Interesting

Smurfs have their MMR jacked up quick to avoid them playing with true new players.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm teammates who don't protect the adc then blame him for not doing damage mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah its frustrating when in teamfights everyone is chasing down kills while a cc tank made it to the backline and is now outdamaging you because you can't kite away from 3 different stuns. Usually this just happens to me in the jungle though.

That's a really bad Karma build to be honest.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51850607]That's a really bad Karma build to be honest.[/QUOTE] ???? Shield based build. Lack of Sightstone last game because of stompfest. I combine support item with my sightstone to get the extra ward and room for one more item. If against some heavy CC, I'd go Mikael's or I'd even skip it if our team is doing fine without me having it. 45% cdr so I can go pen boots (or whatever else I please). Liandry's in games where I could go towards are more damage build than a supportive build with locket. If totally needed, could swap athenes and go a full active build. There is literally nothing bad here.

Does ardent shield buff and redemption shield buff stack

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51850607]That's a really bad Karma build to be honest.[/QUOTE] well if he's playing support i'd say it's a pretty solid. One might argue swapping the athenes out with Mikael's or not going liandry's in the last game, but that highly depends on the matchup.

Locket's active is still stupid strong, there's no reason to not get it in a defensive support build. There's no excuse for a lack of sightstone, sightstone lets you snowball safer and harder. If you got to that many items, it wasn't a stompfest. Athene's is trash. Liandry's does nothing for shield build. If you want damage, play a damage support. Same thing for Sorcerer's, CDR is also a cheaper purchase and gives summoner CDR which is important if you're running exhaust. Combined sightstone is fine, personally I always go ruby because of the actives cooldown. It affects trinket which also helps vision control. Censer is a mediocre item unless you have 2+ auto based champions. In the current meta of Varus/Jhin every game it's hard to make it useful. It's not worth buying just for the shield power.

[QUOTE=KillRay;51850751]Does ardent shield buff and redemption shield buff stack[/QUOTE] The unique passives are not named, so yes. I'd believe so. So does most of the Reddit posts I find about it.

There is [B]indeed[/B] an argument for not going Sightstone, if I feel confident not going that item and winning because we're dancing in their base then I sure as hell don't need it. I am not running exhaust either? Athene's is far from trash, especially on Karma since you're so poke heavy. Liandry's does nothing for the shield build? Well neither does Sightstone right, read what I said: I could go more damage oriented those games because of the lead and the state of the game. On top of that, I even build it as a last resort item. Censer w/ Redemption stacks AFAIK so they're great to run together especially on a champ like Karma who presses R -> E and your team becomes a wall. [editline]20th February 2017[/editline] God damn no auto-merge.

I build redemption into locket on every nonmage support with Ruby sightstone for the cooldown If I'm going mage it's just sightstone into rylais/liandries everytime [editline]20th February 2017[/editline] As a tank support I actually like Knights vow a lot

Decided to spend 5 bucks on keys, got enough skins I don't want to be able to get enough orange essence for zombie brand. Thing is one of them is riot graves, and I sorta want it, since I kinda one trick him in the jungle. Decisions decisions... Edit: Zombie brand is dope

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;51850766]Athene's is trash.[/QUOTE] it gives karma infinite mana, some damage and a heal on her shield
