Cnidario posted:Long story short: my carry started blaming me after repeatedly giving me contradictory directions (when he wanted me to ult), and I made the mistake of trying to defend myself (bad decision, but better than ignoring him?). Then it just spiraled from there. what you want to do is something like "my bad, how can i do better for you" and if they give you more stupid directions and then blame you for losses just ignore them. another thing to consider is if your lane is truly a lost cause to just leave the lane and support people who are doing well - helping mid, for example, by ganking and getting a kill. walking with the jungler to kill the enemy at their blue/red(whichever is on bot side for you). stuff like that. do not let yourself get shackled to a cement block and dumped in the river.

Never say anything in ranked, never give your team more reason to fly off the handle. Defending yourself is tantamount to flaming as far as most people are concerned, unless you can fully explain why you didn't come fight with them in the river while pushed under your tower at 6 minutes in a way that doesn't imply they're an idiot for taking that fight in the first place. Also speaking as a bot laner, don't let your ADC decide when to fight. Especially if they're also trying to backseat play your champ for you. njsykora fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Feb 2, 2019 |

I'll stick with a cement block until they lose us the tower. At that point they can farm at the second tower and I can try to get mid or top some kills to make up for their being a total poo poo. If they get dove repeatedly under second tower good for them, I don't care, they're not worth gold anyways and they're distracting the super fed enemy bot lane while we push down mid tier 2.

Thanks Vermain for the breakdown on keystones. What's the state of boots these days? I hate being slow and think mobility is about as important as it can possibly get in this genre so I usually pick up Boots of Swiftness on every champion over Berserker's/Lucidity/Tenacity -- but I'm not sure if that's actually a good idea. It looks like the stats on the other boots got buffed, especially the attack speed on Berserker's Greaves.

It's not. Swiftness is only a minute increase in effective mobility compared to the other options, and they're only really worth it in a small number of cases (needing to not be kited as melee and playing Jhin because he has insane scaling movespeed bonuses and benefits less from the ASPD). Sorc's/Berserker's are the main offensive boots, Merc's/Tabi's are the main defensive, and Lucidity/Mobis are used in specific cases (you need a lot of CDR and aren't building CDR items/you want to roam an awful lot early).

Movespeed has pretty hefty diminishing returns, too.

Still trying to get used to Sylas in ranked. It's kinda hard to change your playstyles depending on the ult you get. I would say the best ults are the engage ones you can set up your team and burst one dude out. Neeko is also still fun imo. She is super easy to play but you do need good dmg on your team, her ult is so strong in late game teamfights.

I usually grab swifties on Janna because I hate getting tagged with some AoE and immediately losing all my bonus like with mobility boots.

swift ones are underrated and overrated simultaneously, being unduly trashed by some and built blindly and incorrectly by others. they have their place, understand that if your movespeed is that important that you are willing to buy inefficient boots they are an option . ask yourself how much your character needs that extra move speed, though. E: another consideration. if your champion slows itself, swift ones get an extra power boost. pog boyfriend fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Feb 4, 2019 |

Janna is a great example. Everyone either builds mobis or lucidity on her, but the former hits diminishing returns for MS and doesn’t interact with her passive, and the latter brings you over the CDR cap late. I don’t think there’s many non-supports who should get them though. Garen? Udyr if you’re trick2g?

Singed situationally, if slows are gonna be more of a problem than hard CC.

Jihn wants Swifties cause he scales better with them. Singed was mentioned offhand and I can see the reasoning there. I'm blanking on most anyone else who wants them, though.
