you pretend you're a support. Normally I don't build spellthief's until I can finish FQC but I haven't played top nami in a while and forgot her AA timing so I was missing a lot of CS.

E: also take ignite not TP, that was an accident, TP is terrible on her

That had to be the most miserable lane I've had in a while. Bot lane as Xayah/Zilean vs a Draven/Blitz duo.


Starting at level 1, Zilean was hooked on cooldown every time he walked into lane. He decided that standing behind creeps was bad so he would walk past them to bomb and get hooked. Over and over.

The best is when you do bad though you have no excuse

I started playing again after like a year hiatus and someone in my newly-placed league of Silver told me "Your rumble mechanics give me eye cancer, did you just get that skin from loot" (I have the SG rumble skin)

I told him as the game was ending "I have hundreds of games on rumble rofl" to which he eloquently responded "..."

The best is when I have time to tell people "actually I grinded this champ to plat" and am telling the truth, as I feed rampantly in silver

It's a descriptors of me, a feeding Jinx and Orianna "main."

as soon as the champion was announced i thought it would be really fun to play the champion top lane because of the bounce effect on her w making her a poor mans vladimir top, and her e plus bork would make her the stickiest autoattacker on the planet

When Nami was released she was played as a support in like 10% of her games, optimistically. Not because she was good elsewhere but because no one wanted to play support.

I know that everyone constantly complains about Riot loving over their champion/role, but support has gotten so much better since I started playing. If they flipped a switch and sent support back to its season 3 state I would just quit.

nami has natural synergy with support because supports often ward the river, but she is also good at jungling because you can fight the crab to get gold and experience.

I disagree. Her laugh spam buffs her support role because since she doesn't have to CS, she can spend more time laugh spamming instead.

I once had a bot game where the enemy soraka spammed her "Yes that is a horn growing out of my head" emote for about 20 minutes straight.

The only thing I really miss is coming to lane with 3 green and 2 pink wards and fighting the other support to the death for brush control.

e: i also miss 12 pot start karthus but that's not support related

e2: i also miss the month between thresh being released and everyone realizing he was hyper broken where i could win lane just by autoattacking the adc over and over and i had like a 90% win rate

For what it's worth Taliyah is a champ that needs a ton of practice to be able to play well. I think only Azir is more difficult in the mage category. She has a bunch of her power budget funneled into map movement and a tiny vector-cast skillshot which can be hard things to maximize.

Got in a couple more Taliyah games, and she seems fun as hell the more I get to play her. Had a game where a Diana and a Yasuo pretty much killed themselves diving me under tower through my e, tanking tower shots while I hit zhonya, then taking my e some more. I still struggle with the timing on her ult — by which I mean the minimum time between minion combat and being able to ult to a side lane — but dear christ her mobility all game long is just nuts. You can shove and roam so easy! She's loads of fun.

Yeah, she is pretty much the only champ that I can remember instantly taking a liking too and adopting almost immediately after she was released. You've should have seen the incarnation of her where one level 1 Q can wipe out a minion wave if you got it to hit right, it was nuts.

Wow, that's absurd. Her farming is still pretty easy, though, especially once you have all your buttons. She just has so many options at any given moment, and it feels like she probably has significant nuance and skill ceiling.

(also a lightning rod)

I got all hyped when they said "Udyr Buffs!" in their little patch preview thingo.

Then I saw that the "buff" was completely pointless and not at all the issue Udyr runs into. Oh well, at least they're trying I guess.

:ninja: P.S. The real solution is give him a slightly large base HP growth and give E a slow resist/immunity to prevent literally any slow in the game from turning him into a melee minion

So uh it turns out that the rift herald's fancy new attacks mean that you can hit the eye while solo'ing. I've only tried it as nunu but it is straight up easier to kill than dragon. I wouldn't be surprised if kha/vi/other good single target champs could solo it pretty easily.

Nunu can also duo the baron with zero trouble as soon as it spawns, so yeah. Nunu p good.
