Janna... ~main~

I know you've linked your replay.gg page before and it's sort of public anyway, but I feel like I should ask just out of courtesy: Is it cool with you if I go through your replays/link to a friend who mains Janna? She's been hovering around high gold this season and trying to improve. I've just been trying to improve at support in general since I end up in that role a lot when duo queuing.

What's a good champion that can play a couple different positions I can reliably pick? I was thinking Kayle for Top/Mid/JG but she's real FOTM now and gets picked/banned pretty often.

Nunu if you're a fun person and Morgana if you like winning.

How to make a baron call

probably could have gotten it without the fight but we ran towards it a little slow and didn't have full committal. You also got to see our biggest problem that game: Nocturne. Any fight we took I didn't have flash we lost, because that guy was at a point where he would ult me, Q>Auto and I would die. He was their only threat fortunately

Apparently his win rate shot back up so it's time to give him another try. I did one game of runic echoes on him and it went super well though

Morgana is insanely fun to play if you play her aggressively

some matchups are more easy to fight aggressively but others it's often a better idea to farm it out. also I love baiting ahri charms and poo poo like that with black shield, then rolling them with Q W R

Well Hextech crafting just gave me the FNC J4 skin after like three games so I can't say I'm at all unpleased with it.

kayle's playrate has been creeping up for a few patches, especially top since she wins so many matchups

She is 30/56 of most common picks for top lane in platinum+ and i've seen her 0 times in ~30 games. KFO has been drawing bans on her in LCS so if he has a monster game on her i'd expect to see the pickrate go up

I know she's more common top/mid, but I saw a jungle Kayle for the first time in a while the other day. I destroyed her in the jungle for 25 minutes, then she got sated and instantly became terrifying.

If I wasn't shyvana we might have even lost!

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Exethan doing gods work with the obvious fact checks.

With regards to the previous discussion, playing a perfect game is when you only make 1-2 serious mistakes, you immediately identify them, don't make them again, let your team know it's on you but it's all good, and then continue to work towards victory. I don't think I've ever played or seen a game where someone didn't make at least 2 big mistakes. As you get better you will be able to identify and fix them easier.

Kayle gets blown up very easily, so proper intervention timing pretty much makes or brakes her. I think she's a risky pick despite her high win rate.

The best 57 in hockey.
Intervention in general is great because if you're quick on the trigger you can turn the enemy's pickoff into a complete waste of their time if they blow their load on whoever they catch. I remember a game where our ADC kept getting grabbed by blitz so I'd ult them when they got pulled, watch 3-4 ults go off trying to kill them and laugh as we counter engaged. Playing Kayle is all about when you ult really, it's not just a low hp 'oh poo poo' button.

And the good news is, she's gross all the way up to diamond! She's been one of the highest win rate mids in a real long while, so otp that poo poo and climb.

Lux is super ridiculous in her winning matchups and can simply choose to play back and ult the wave over and over if things go poorly. As someone said earlier she's one of the best champions to manage waves for 30 minutes then combo a carry and win the game.

With Lux, do you go for pure damage builds to get hard hitting combos, or is it better to get CDR and mana regen to spam forever and have less dead time in team fights?

just start dorans -> morello, fqc, or grail every game and get a NLR item, void staff, and cdr boots as your next 3 pickups. I prioritize codex if i'm winning lane already. I go for mana regen / defensive components if I'm having a bad time.
