The best part of that game was that I had picked Taric because the enemy team had first three picks gone AD like Jax/Yi/Poppy or something and so I knew also another ADC was coming and 4 AD vs Taric is basically an auto-win if you don't feed (I will always play Taric into an enemy draft like that no matter what). Only after the game loaded did we realize it was Support Master Yi (first time I had ever seen that and I'm assuming it was some kind of draft argument that no one dodged out of). From what I could tell about Support Master Yi, he hits his power spike around Level 1-2 and then never does anything useful after that. Would not recommend.

This should never happen anymore since people who don't want to support don't have to queue as it buuuuuut

gently caress my life this obnoxious twit i have the misfortune of being in the same room with is insisting a number of wrong things

namely, bard is the worst support, malph is legitimately good as a support (questionable), and Yi is obviously the best champion at everything forever and is utterly flawless and impossible to defeat

jesus loving christ he seems to have this idea that he is right about everything ever

Malphite has been an off meta support in Korea for awhile, but I sincerely doubt this dude has any idea of such a thing since he's a Master Yi player

this is exactly my opinion on the matter as well

and i'm trying to explain to him that the support is oftentimes a more valuable target to jump on than the ADC, because if you remove the support, you remove massive teamfight ability from their team and remove their main peel to jump onto the ADC

My son, this is a tilt free zone. Do not embrace the tilt, it will only serve to distract and weaken you. Instead reflect upon how silly your friend is and laugh

Just tell him Bard was terrifying enough that one good game of him at IEM was enough to earn bard bans on SKT for the entire TSM series

that reminds me of the time palladion picked support dorans blade fiora and we ended up getting like 3 kills in the early game and snowballing the poo poo out of the lane

I had two games in a row playing against malphite support yesterday; one game was malph/kog, the other was malph/kalista.

I can sort of see the idea in both those lanes, since kog can really benefit from having malphite just gently caress up the other team with the ult and kalista and malph can chain their ults for some serious cc, but in practice neither of them really worked out very well. Malphite pre-six with no gold wasn't able to do a lot, so we were able to bully the kalista and kog enough early that we still won.

Man, gently caress kog, though. Even with his nerfs, he's a time bomb of a champion; you have to spend the entire game shutting him down or he'll just farm somewhere, buy two items, and then spit all over your entire team forever.

Why.... why does Morg have so few items with 7k gold?

Hell, why did a Morg lose to a bard period? You just take E second and laugh at him early and don't be near your teammates once he hits 6 and he's significantly hampered. You also need to keep some extra wards down in your jungle because of portal jungler ganks.

In practice black shield rarely works against bard because the stun doesn't apply until it hits a second target so the ability will break the shield, and then stun you anyways

I love the Kog buff and then nerf ultimately ended up with Q costing 40 mana but being actually useless and his passive attack speed is now completely gone from his kit.

if you've ever played darius, this sort of mechanic is a pretty different experience than having sunfire cape

The idea appears to basically be that you come over the wall with a giant gently caress-off comet and completely wreck a teamfight and... that's basically it. Which does admittedly sound fun but it's kind of a one-hit wonder.

Few questions, sorry if they are answered. I looked through the first few pages and did not see much info.

Is there a goon chat channel?
what is the best way to get RP to buy heroes?
Is RP the best way to get them other than real cash? I think I saw two types of money in the game.
I think I got a skin once from doing something on Facebook, are events like that common? Or was that a one time thing.
Does anyone want to be my friend :) my username is badjohny (or do i give my summoner name?)

Thanks again. I am really digging this game, but its a tad more complex than HoTs apparently.

His ult is a setup for his W and that's it. His E requires stacks to use his only roam/escape.

on NA we chat on silversquid, although idk how that' going to turn out with clubs changing that.
RP is bought with cash, IP is earned from playing games. Make sure to get your first win of the day, and otherwise you'll just get IP over it.
IP is the only way to get champs besides RP(cash)
That's a one time thing.
I'm Kashuno on NA if you want to add me
