supports are actually the strongest in that you get to decide who lives and dies on your team.

You can also directly poo poo on the annoying enemy Rengar/Yasuo/Riven main that keeps diving your ADC/Midlaner every single fight and see them rage in all chat. anything that removes agency from the enemy makes me happy

good supports also have the game sense and map awareness to not ward when it would get them killed unconditionally.

Oh wow I get to decide who lives and dies on my team? I mean not like how a tank would, by completely locking down whoever's coming at them while being immortal. But still: I get to stand behind someone and press the heal button. I get to decide who lives on my team! what a great, powerful feeling thing... way more powerful than getting to decide who lives and dies on the enemy team, via killing them with my items.

For what it's worth, I've found that the easiest way to avoid loss streaks is to set a hard limit as to the number of losses in a row I'll allow before I get up and take a break for an hour or so and then vigorously stick to it. My current limit is two games in a row, since I feel like one loss isn't bad, but after a second loss, I'll go into the third game thinking, "Okay, I really have to win this one..." and start playing on tilt.

The only winning move is not to play. Can't lose if you don't play.

That's people who only care about their ranking. They'll play 10,000 games with one champion until their knowledge of every matchup is so deep they have trouble losing. If you look at high rank you'll see a lot of that, if memory serves; just people spamming the same champion all day every day.

I agree that that's pretty boring.

I am not even really on tilt, I just am getting the dumbest mother fuckers lol. It's so sad.

Last game featured a Xerath who gave up after dying once to Ekko, a shyvanna without smite, and an Ezeal who kept e-ing into Vayne. 10/10.

Eh, not really.

Trynd has a few moments where he can't be killed but none of his other weaknesses go away. He can be stunned, slowed, knocked away, basically anything, and unlike Kat he can't inject an insane amount of damage in under a second. The key is to either bait out his ult when you know you can retreat or just treat him like you would someone who is tanky enough you can't kill them quickly.

you kill tryndamere as he's walking towards you, and then when he ults you just keep kiting him and when it runs out he dies

Banning Yasuo is always a good idea. He is the perfect example of Shaco syndrome. God on enemy team and poo poo on your team. I actually got carried by one Yasuo during placements but it was very obvious he was smurfing because he had like 20 kills every single game and no previous season ranking. So ya the only time Yasuo carries is if he is smurfing/stomping noobs.

Haven't seen Camille because she is always banned but one guy in my team said he is a camille one trick. He wanted to play Camille support which he had been playing upon seeing his opgg. People are the dumbest. How can u become a Camille one trick on the first day and he played it in all roles. Fortunately enemy team banned it so I didn't have to witness the support Camille.

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


Well support Camille worked relatively well the one time I played it, you've got a pretty obnoxious stun and slow and if you can make it to 6 you can probably ensure your adc gets a killed. On the other hand she does need items and in general it's a bad idea I was just in normals and wanted to try her.

Honestly though Camille seems kind of gross kit-wise, as it does so many different things that if she gets ahead top it's rather hard to stop her from staying ahead. At least in lane.

I honestly prefer the design stylings of Tryndamere/Yi where they do one thing quite well over the nonsense do everything of Camille.

Ward, or, for example, placing yourself physically in the bush and deconstructing the hapless squishy who walks into it.

A good tactic is to look the matchup up on op.gg in load screen and find the player who has lost a few games recently. Then bully that person so they're miserable. Psychological warfare.
