...I'm sorry. I can't seem to remember any of the rest.
If one of my teammates gets caught out and I'm Janna/Alistar is it okay to give my life to save them if they're ahead

I went 1/11 on ali trying to save people and I think at some point it stops being peeling and becomes feeding but I want to at least believe I was doing the right thing :negative:

If you actually save them, yes. If you just die along with them, no.

E: :agreed: with kingcobweb though - you generally dont have to die

You should die on Janna never and Alistar sometimes. The situations where you die instead of them as a mage support are incredibly rare.

If I wanted to play top lane and swap into a 1v2, what kind of champs work for that? I played a ton of solo offlane in Dota so I have a vague idea but I'm not sure how well it translates.

I don't know how or why you're planning to swap into a 1v2 but you just have to play one of those extremely low econ tanks who sometimes have sub 20 cs at 10 minutes in pro play. So Nautilus and Poppy and APPARENTLY Maokai but I think he still sucks real bad.

Rumble is really good low econ as well. You will never see 2v1 in solo queue, though

I learned that I shouldn't play ali supp tbh because I generally don't go over 4/5 deaths in a game unless I'm playing a champ I don't know at all

My last two games were 2/4/18 janna (went too ham a few times trying to make picks) and 5/6/33 soraka (it went 52 minutes) so I think I'm just overall better at mages than any other role

Oh and ty for the advice, I figured if they died too then it wouldn't be worth it

Xin with Sated and Rageblade should be really hard to kill unless you hard cc him for more than a second. as soon as he gets spirit visage and some kind of armor item he becomes an unstoppable beast.

he farms so quickly and ganks so powefully after clearing with 100% hp its not even like you have to forego ganking at all, just do both and also take dragon when you inevitably smash the mid/botlane's faces in or ruin the enemy jungler's life.

Xin is really good and devourer --> rageblade --> tank is roughly what I build on him every game. If you want to be truly unkillable throw in a BORK at the end.

Given how bad people are at wave management at low elo, you can probably keep up with farm by either playing a champ like Mundo (low econ, ability to farm easily with Q) or a strong waveclear mage in a slightly off-meta role (Lulu, Lissandra, Morgana, even Cho'Gath).

I think Teemo was actually a mid laner before he was a top laner, although it's fairly bizarre to run TP on him mid.

I'm not complaining about the matchup I'm just saying that the champs picked are unranked as gently caress.

Also they banned Teemo (?) so our mid had to pick Annie and I'm not sure if that's more or less representative of the experience.

I'm not saying it was witches

but it was witches

Just stomped a Garen top as Nasus. Noticed that the other team had literally no MR items, pointed this out to my team, and our Orianna immediately bought an Abyssal Sceptre.

Why don't Bronze players build MR

Why don't Bronze players build Zz'rots and splitpush

How did I win that so handily when I'm so bad at this game

I am torn on the most solo queue possible mid laner. There are a lot of good options. Is it Zed? Yasuo? Leblanc is way worse than those two but getting a mid Yasuo on your all ad Riven/Yi/Vayne team is always classic. Zed has a really high win rate now though so does that disqualify him?

I think Riven/Yi/Vayne/Blitz are all the undisputed solo queue champs of their respective roles.

If this is the worst soloq team comp you're a part of in a given 10 game stretch, you live a charmed life. 3 of those champs (Blitz, Master Yi, Garen) are probably god tier at your elo as well.

My least favorite thing to see in solo queue is when I lock in an Alistar or Malphite and then immediately see our team lock in a Yasuo, like well okay I was planning on helping the team but I guess you expect me to be your personal knockup machine now. Usually they'll lose lane long before I ever get to roam and scream wait for late

Sellback isn't the same thing as being able to sell something back you dingus.

Sellback is when there's a grace period to sell something back to the shop and get a full refund.

I can't remember all the interactions or if they even fixed this but some champs interact with items in a way that you can't undo some purchases. I don't think Singed can undo buying an item that gives him mana bc of the way his passive interacts with it. At least it was like that before, I haven't played him in a long time
