also are there any good greedy AP items for janna? like shield-boosting/utility not "i wanna one-shot someone with Q". i had a good game on her where we got super ahead so i had a lot of extra gold and after the kinda core poo poo (eyestone/locket/mobis) i just started getting snowbally poo poo like censer and starting building ice cannon for the hell of it. i'm guessing i should have gotten banner instead of locket but aside from banner/censer and MAYBE athene's i'm kind of stumped on what other kinds of stuff she'd like

Buy pink wards and put them in places people usually won't find them, you can get some deep wards in the jungle pretty safely as Quinn. Keep Green Ward trinket IMO so you can keep warding out their jungle, maybe not for anyone else but your own convenience.

Work on your CSing, and convince your team you should be the one split-pushing and not the random support or jungler that's probably in a side-lane alone so you can eat up all that extra gold.

:siren: Found a useful website :siren:

LoL Profiler shows you what kind of player you are and ranks you compared to other players by 5 categories (Action Score, Versatility, Warding, Farming, and objective control) then breaks down each category and shows you what you can improve on.

For example, I've got maxed out versatility because even though I'm a "Supporter" (Plays support or support-type Top/Junglers) I am still winning games and getting a good KDA on all champions in all roles, and I can play nearly any champion. I have a low "Action Score" because I'm the type of player who's passive until I know I can win a fight somewhere.

There's also Ward Score which shows you how well you ward compared to other players.

It seems to be wrong, anyway. It says I ward 18 wpg as a mage when it's 16 average, and 17.6 as support when it's 25, including the game I lost power and disconnected.

False enemy or true friend?
That Nami skin would be really good if not for the stupid voice filter. I think a lot of these skins that come out at the 1350 price tag have some very very bad voice filtering. No offense to Aelris as he's the only guy I know that has the robot Soraka it's another example of the filter being too goddamned weird to make enjoyable. Or the massive dorks that bought Darth Jayce. Stuff like Void Fizz or Soul Reaper Draven seems to be okay exceptions off the top of my head.

Site's calling me an ADC but that's probably the fact the only champ I play in ranked with consistency is Jhin and I've got like 100ish games on him. I'll have to play a bunch of games as jungle (which really is my role i know best) to see how it skews. It's pretty on the nose in terms of me being pretty much able to play everything to some degree of competency though.

Also, Methanar, I notice you're enjoying Hecarim and going kinda heavy handed on damage. Rune/Mastery setup? He seems to be in a decent spot jungling. I'd guess MS quints, arpen/ad reds, armor yellows and some kinda CDR/MR blues? I've seen a lot of mastery pages run, Thunderlords being probably the most prominent but a few doing the Run Faster When You Hit Someone Really Hard thing.

I am suspicious of how useful this is, given that I am currently Bronze III, and all five of my individual scores are better than my comparisons until comparing against Platinum I.

On one hand I like the encouragement to ward (far more than the always-CS-must-CS aspect), on the other hand it feels kind of cheesy.

How does the system determine roles in nondynamic games? Like, if I play ARAM, get Udyr, buy exclusively support tank items, end the game with 3 CS (coin) and a negative KD (double KDA) does the system understand that I'm going for a support role? How does it differentiate from this and going Ashe and picking up spellthiefs for easy gold?

I don't know, unless they planned pretty much every eventuality it doesnt seem like a great measurement for weirder setups.

It doesn't care about aram because it's only ranked. Also warding and CSing are not independent of one another. In fact, you should ward so you can CS.

It's comparing players by official champion type (Mage, Fighter, Tank, etc) instead of by position (Mid, Top, Jungle, etc), which seems like a stupid way to do it. If you play Anivia or Syndra mid, then obviously you'll ward less than someone who's playing Zyra or Vel'koz support. If you play Alistar, Blitzcrank, or Leona support, then obviously you'll ward more than someone who's playing Malphite or Maokai top.

It really should be grouping by position, not by champion class. Of course people who go support and buy Sightstone will ward more than people who go jungle and get blue smite with red sweeper first back, so why directly compare Nautilus supports to Sejuani jungles?

Yeah, I ward more than 98% of players because I play Zyra support, and all the tank supports count as tanks that includes the top lane pool.

Which I guess also means I ward more than other support Zyras, but still, not as helpful. I imagine part of it might be that figuring out people's position/items is probably more work on their end with the API and whatnot, I imagine it's a lot easier to just take champ stats. As a lazy scraper I respect that.

e: Although, on my Vayne only smurf I still ward more than 36% of adcs. I need to work on that...
