If we're stretching definitions, wasn't Ashe played as a support for a little bit in double ADC kill lanes? I remember support kill lane Urgot waaaay back in the day too. But I guess Senna is designed from the ground up for it.

She pops up in solo queue occasionally. She's a bit more workable nowadays with new ER, but she still gets clobbered by engage supports and is almost entirely dependent on landing good ECAs.

I've played this game since beta and I still have no idea how you show the spell indicator when you're using smart cast. This never really bothered me until i tried gragas for a few games and missed about 90% of my ults

So I haven’t touched League of Legends in ages and never levelled up past 30 but I’ve kept up with LEC as well as twitch streams ala Scarra and Shiptur. The anniversary stream was amazing and had so much cool stuff I am considering getting back into the game. However, I’m terrified of the prospect of levelling to 30 due to all the nightmare stories I’ve heard.

What role/champions are good to get back in the game? Also I want the card game so badly it looks so cool. God I just want all the things.

If you just want to get up to L30 and don't know what champions you like, just play ARAM and try out a bunch of champs in a zero pressure enviroment. Then try that champ on the rift in their usual role to see what you like.

I guess I get anxious about things like item build paths and whatnot alongside what sort of role I prefer playing when on the rift.

ARAM sounds like a good shout though. Hopefully it won’t take too long for me to level up to 30 and then maybe try ranked?

With item paths, head to whatever site takes your fancy (I like lolalytics) and just go with that. Dont sweat it too much, you can mess around with different builds once you get more confident

I’m not sure if this is the correct play to talk about Legends or Runeterra, but I love all the little details in the game that I’ve seen from streams. Like how the Lonely Poro changes into a Jubilant Poro when you summon a new Poro onto the field. The little dude looks so happy :allears:

Honestly quit worrying, starting fresh and new is the best time to gently caress up and make your mistakes. Biggest problem I see when people are learning is that everyone teaches them to play safe and not feed. Nothing wrong with that but you gotta know how to take risks and make plays. gently caress around , feed abit and learn what works or doesn't work. See how far you can arrogantly push your leads and learn from that.

ungulateman posted:

against real players? not really. winning as garen into a traditional conqueror top laner prior to this patch making him outright broken was impossible without being much, much better than them, because garen's kit is complete dogshit against conqueror and he couldn't make use of it himself (until they did).

like if you're below...i dunno, maybe as high as diamond? you can win with almost literally anything, by being better than your opponents, but that's not really what people mean when they say 'viable'.

pog said the most pertinent thing in my argument but i’d like to add that a: garen was completely capable of styling on plenty of conqueror tops at any level (riven jax renekton immediately come to mind) and actually struggled against the guys that went phase rush (vlad, darius sometimes) and grasp (fiora, gangplank) because until this patch his usual ideal trade pattern was 1-5 seconds long and ended without him applying autoattacks which meant he didn’t always get his second proc

secondly, people can and do onetrick badchamp psycho themselves to challenger. it’s not meaningful when talking about the strength of the champion obviously but i wanted to be pedantic

Riot teasing the next few champs and reworks. I have loved all the reworks since last year. Riot has definitely improved on them since the mages/adc reworks. Senna's gameplay will be revealed on the 27th of October during worlds.

I got the new Riven skin in my shop and two kda skins. That's pretty cool but I don't really play any of these champs.

Check smart cast with indicators in the options.

You can also just bind attack move to m1 now; it messes up pinging the money you need to buy an item not otherwise it's a much nicer way to kite and with stuff like walking towards a bush with rengar in it as tf or w/e it's kind of uniquely useful vs normal move imo.

I think my next 'improve how I use hotkeys' is to bind 'target champions only' to a mouse button, poo poo seems really useful.

I'm also incredibly on board for an adc support, give us everything imo.

Just a week ago they added starter packs for each role. They give you 3 champions, 3 skins (one for each champ) and a 14-day XP boost. It’s 650 RP for one pack, which is way less than the XP boost by itself. They aren’t really newbie bundles, they seem to be designed for people with a smurf account.

Edit: Here is a screencap someone else took of them - https://m.imgur.com/a/1Ibwebp

Run in and toss someone. Run off and gas some people dumb enough to chase you. Wait in a bush and flip your chaser over a wall. Invade a lane above towers and genocide the creep waves. When they come after you mash laugh emote and just jog on outta there.

To that end, the first thing I do when I learn a new character in league or any game is spend my first few games playing incredibly aggro (in unranked of course) and basically feed and I steadily work backwards from there. Understanding your boundaries is one of the best ways to improve almost universally

Not THAT much but probably more than average. People would rather ban Yasuo, Zed, Pantheon, Garen, Blitz, Pyke and Vlad usually. She’s banned in around 15% of games which isn’t that bad and if you declare your pick for her it’s probably less often since your own team won’t ban her.

I sat down to play my first game in god knows how long last night with a couple friends and in pick/ban the enemy banned Nocturne and Hecarim, my two favorite characters in the game. I checked their w/r and they are both over 50 but aren't at the absolute top, I choose to believe I got target banned in a normal game. That's my ban story thank you for reading.
