This would actually be terrible because it would create play habits of constantly checking everywhere on the map you have warded. That doesn't sound like any fun, but would also be the best way to play against her.

That's a good thing to do, actually

No, I mean actually panning your camera there despite there being nothing on the minimap. Why would you ever do that, you can even see if jungle camps are up on the minimap, there is literally no reason.

stealth is cool but the implementation is wack. it would be cool if it was line of sight based but that would be hard to balance and result in people running in tight circles everywhere

If you were planning on playing ranked at low silver ELO tonight I apologize in advance.

alright for real though what the hell riot why is coin just explicitly the best support item. like it was kind of funny, a really nice prank to make the coin just way better than everything, but it is starting to outwear its welcome if you catch my drift. has anyone at riot addressed this issue or?

I've been doing this and it is somehow correct. What is happening.

Alternatively, just buff all the support items to be this good so it can always be party time in the bot lane.

I hate it so much because Sona has always been this insane lane bully whose trade-off is mana problems and being easy to gank. Now she goes "nah I'll just sit in lane earning more money" and has infinite mana. It Sucks

It's basically impossible to play a harass supp against any supp with a heal and coin now cause they will just out sustain you while spamming heals. If you can't all in then you accomplish nothing against them.

i think tank supports are technically the most powerful in this patch because you want both solo laners and the jungler to be assassins. jannas good for the same reason

Support Shaco is pretty fun. Go hard on mana regeneration and you'll have have 2 boxes on blue and 2 on frog speeding up your jungler like crazy.

Grab ignite/etc, ignore Q until 7 or 8 and box 24/7 with knife harass. Use the ult as much as possible to pressure them back since it has ok cool down.

It's actually not too bad and pray that their jungler ganks as it's pretty funny.

Kayn seems pretty great as long as you go Red Mode. Blue mode seems like absolute gutter trash but red Kayn with a more offensive bruiser build just shits damage forever and never dies. Getting 40% CDR feels like it actually matters a lot for making you slippery and also the drain tank Aatrox was supposed to be.

Link features 60K damage game where just self-healing from Red mode I outhealed Sona.

Also lol with all that AD red mode Q was 36%-ish max HP and R was 46% or something it was absolutely absurd. Enemy Cho got massive - 7K HP - and he just loving melted. Glorious.

The purpose of Janna is not to have fun pressing her buttons.

The purpose of Janna is to ensure that the other team presses their buttons then nothing happens because you are Janna.

Through their sadness, you have fun.

Why'd they do one patch that broke lethality again, broke support items, introduced a new champ, added a new/reworked tank item, reworked chogath all in one patch, mid season. Can't wait till they release new urgot and also boost every AP ratio in the game by .1 for the worlds patch.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:
I've been playing a lot of Sejuani and I absolutely hate her new W animation. While you're clearing the jungle the second part of it looks exactly like a skillshot coming over the wall, Lee Q in particular. Multiple times a game I'll be idly killing wolves while watching the minimap when suddenly out of the corner of my eye I see what looks like a counterjungling rear end in a top hat coming to wreck my face. I haven't panic blown flash yet thankfully but I figure it's only a matter of time.

snowballing in mobas is actually terrible because i might be winning my lane but because some jackass top is losing his more than my opponent is losing it does not matter at all and the entire game turns into me vs the guy killing my retarded top laner
