What are the top supports right now? My duo partner plays a lot of Tahm and Thresh and they are both very awesome since you can usually get a gank early. I play mostly Lucian. Tahm especially is probably my favorite dude to see behind me. He can save me, setup ganks, do respectable damage, take a ton of damage.

Janna, Naut, and Sona are all strong choices. Tahm is really weak in a support role at the moment between nerfs and him just genuinely having kind of a weak support role to begin with.

Gaah do I spend my IP on Corki, Naut or Koggles. Or save up another few days for Quinn.

Why must all the cool and strong champs be the ones I don't own yet.

Edit: Also people giving me the ADC advice: How much CS per min should I be aiming for to be happy with my income?

Okay, does anyone have strategic advice about Jungle Shen? I've been playing him for a couple of weeks and I like a lot of what he does, but unless the enemy team routinely overextends I don't feel like I can't actually change the momentum of the game. Decent enemy conversion of advantages just shuts me (and my team) right down, and I'm having trouble getting any advantages of my own during the laning phase. Taunt is an important mechanical thing, yet the better my taunts the worse I feel we end up doing. It's weird.

i dont always get along with taric but he's overall a very powerful support with some of the safest laning and best anti-gank capability in the game

In a vacuum/ unpressured, 13/minute (perfect cs)
In reality, more than your lane opponent.
Also get corki and koggles you won't regret it.

I like to aim for 7.5 in any lane as excellent cs, but even pro lol players don't hit that regularly in soloq.

not really at all. pro players in soloq on stream dont normally get that. Aim to get more than the enemy if you are winning, around equal if you are getting shat on

100 cs at 13 minutes is the gold standard. If you have had a boring lane, it's 110

Uhh I'm pretty sure he regularly presses R while farming as Karthus, which counts as two (2) ganks at once.

it's possible to play roaming champions and still hit those metrics, you just need to only roam when your lanes are pushed so you can vacuum 3 lanes of farm after the double kill

Yeah 7.7 cs a minute is definitely a much better way to annotate that for easy visualization while you're playing the game :chloe:

Also Naut is filthy in the jungle, utterly disgusting

Great clear, doesn't need to worry about mana, and raunchy rear end ganks that involve sitting on someone and making them never move ever again
