FWIW Teemo support is a surprisingly common occurance in very low ELO normals. In general "support" in low ELO normals means "I wanted to play solo but other people got the lanes first so now I have to take Exhaust on Nidalee and complain the entire time" but for some reason people love duo-botting with Teemo.

Probably because you're doing blind pick. It becomes a lot less common once you do Dyanmic Queue.

I really liked dynamic when it first came out...as an idea it's great, but I am rapidly changing my mind as I get matched up as the odd man with a 4-man team and then get poo poo talked the entire game in chat.

Champ is pretty horrible though to be honest, all of her power comes from fighting around her tentacles and once people realize that she loses all her fighting capabilities outside of a massive ult. With no tricks to avoid/soak up CC she gets kited super easily.

Out of curiosity would anyone be interested in free coaching / replay reviews? I'm starting up streaming again and setting a more relaxed schedule so I don't feel burnt out, going to do something called teacher Tuesdays/ and maybe thursday, looking to probably stream 3 times a week for now until I get into the groove of things (also school keeps me busy). On Tuesdays I can spend something like 2-3 hours doing 1 to 1 coaching and then spend an hour or so teaching general concepts for everyone else in the stream. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to shoot! For people interested, I can cover any role except jungle up to Diamond, jungle is the only role I really don't play (I mean I can try, it just probably won't be as useful as an actual jungler teaching you.)

Will you be recording/streaming/uploading all of the coaching and general teaching? Also plug your stream so I can find it.

If I can't figure that out because im a big dumby, I'll be doing more prepared versions of general teaching on youtube. Stream can be found at twitch.tv/daemonlasher

It lists all the programs Goons recommend for video editing for LP's, which is basically what this is. Also a guide on how to stream with OBS which can be set to record at the same time for YouTube; and guides on working with Audio.

Am using OBS, my only concern with recording / uploading to YouTube is hard drive space usage, Ideally I'd be able to have the the stream VOD on twitch and cut segments for YouTube videos from there.

Like drive space will be a thing no matter what really. If you wanna edit on your PC and get it right for YouTube you will need to chew up some space. Of course you can delete the raw/un-compressed footage after you are done uploading.

In other news, I'm 7-0 with Morgana support now. I have climbed out of the hell that is Bronze 5 into the hell that is Bronze 4, and even won a game in B4 so I have a bit of wiggle room now.

Morg is freelo all the way up in Diamond too. Can play her into match ups like Zed mid and neuter the opponents laning phase while providing excellent utility in team fights. Champion farms exceptionally well, has a very safe laning pattern and punishes aggression while she's able to take the occasional pot shot when it's safe to do so.

I usually fill to make my queue times bearable, so I play a fair amount (a lot) of support. It's a little different at your mmr because often your ADC is so poo poo you need to take things into your own hands but that play style is not always fitting when playing against competent opponents. Will gladly give you some coaching though ^^

I'm pretty aggressive early to get those q-w so my ADC can get kills. I really need advice on when/where to ward. I try to ward river and their bottom jungle exits early and later I try to ward whatever jungle I think they're gonna come from. Top if we're pushing top and bot if we're pushing bot. My biggest problem is I have no idea how to play from behind, and I tilt really easily when I get behind and get hyper aggressive to make up for being behind and fall further behind.

If you are behind, don't play aggressive. Let the enemy be aggressive and make mistakes that you can capitalise on.

Current meta champs involve very strong disengage built into their kits as competitively the game can be decided by one mistake at 30 minutes. Vi is a champion that flourishes in skirmishes, not team fights, and as such it's not so much her viability (kekekekek) and much more the types of champions she has to play against. Sivir/Morg are very strong champions and overall make her life very miserable. There's obviously a larger list of poo poo she is unhappy to see but that's just a glance at it.

She's literally a below average support which is what makes her much stronger mid play basically safe from nerfs for the foreseeable future (see also: Annie).

Tuesdays I essentially have the entire day off, so thats a potential 14 hour time frame (12PM-2AM EST, trying NOT to stay up to 3-5AM every day) and I can do a review of a replay and perhaps a VOD of that would help.
