A Saucy Bratwurst posted:I love Vi but in this meta, youd be better of on Naut. Cinderhulk is amazing on him, and he's not top of the meta so he's unlikely to get nerfed soon. He's hard to gently caress up teamfights with, and clears healthier than sej. Everything is cc on him so his ganks are easy too. I'd argue that if you're learning how to play a role the meta doesn't really matter. You're not playing ranked. You're probably not even all that high level and thus facing similar opponents, anyway. Don't sweat it.

There's nothing quite like getting harassed by some lovely team mate for being "bad", losing, and coming out with an S- rank.

My thoughts on Tamm is that he'll be yet another jungle-only champion. There are a lot of those.

The take away is it's fine to main something, just don't play it all the time. I main support pre-30. Depending on what kind of support (I do Leona primarily with some Janna on the side) you can associate yourself with other lanes; Leona is basically top personified, though she'd be awful actually going up there, while the flipside is Janna is mid personified. Though you can kinda manage her there, at least. Take what your support of choice is and go bowling in another lane from time to time, on another champ; Melee supports go top, mages go mid, tanks go jungle. You'll still be familiar what with you're doing, but now you're actively right clicking minions, too. I support Leona/Janna, top Riven and adc Jinx. (gently caress mid and jungle. Especially jungle.) Riven certainly plays similarly to Leona, so it was easy to wean off on.

Speaking of AP Playing Leona pre-30 I've had games where I kinda need to do way more damage then I'm doing because my team mates are dropping the ball, even if I have everyone CC'd. What's the go-to thing to build when I need to make zenith blade poke someone's eye out?

No, it's played on Summoner's rift. The ARAM map is just an event reskin, I believe. Also, Valor is a parrot.

Janna is kinda lame cuz she's passive as hell, tho. If your adc sucks then, welp. I also wish her whirlwind didn't take up a huge amount of her mana bar, but oh well.

fnox posted:I seriously would like Riot to get their poo poo together with ADCs, they seriously need to step back their nerfs to Lucian (and Kalista to a lesser degree) and make it so they can have actually meaningful itemization choices other than the order on which you get IE, Zerks, PD, BT and LW. What are you going to be able to change, really? By nature they're a "class" that right clicks a champion to whittle their HP away. Everything else is just a move to set up prime right clicking. It's not like more ability driven champions.

SaffronKit posted:Your best bet is to play the game mode you enjoy the most. If you'd rather ARAM for your exp and IP, go for it. My only advice is to not focus on how much IP you're getting and just play the game having fun. Next thing you'll know you'll have enough IP for that thing you wanted! Then you do it again while having fun. yeah but tier three runes cost like four champions for a single page gently caress you, riot

Sona is just kind of a pain in the dick. On the plus side she usually ends up stealing the kills from their ADC, though a fed Sona isn't something to be trifled with either. She also dies if your adc actually stares her down, so in my experience try all-ining her. When I'm playing Jinx tho Sona and Soraka are the two champs I dread fighting in lane the most - Soraka's just annoying, but Sona can drive me into the ground.

Janna's autoattack is so slow it's loving annoying But she has a teamwide heal. What, you're going to use it to get people away from you? gently caress that save it for the end of half a team fight, top everyone off and go tower crunching.

kingcobweb posted:
I'd argue that's part of the game's charm, though. There's depth to it, depth that becomes more and more prevalent the further along you go. Can you just right click minions without doing any last hit stuff and still win? Win your lane, even? Yeah, sure. Especially if the other guy is doing that, too, which is how matchmaking is allegedly supposed to handle things. Is there a lot of information? Oh gently caress yes. Is a lot of it accessible in game? Not really, not practically. I could understand the argument for that being an issue, but when you're on a multiplayer only forty minute time sink no breaks allowed game you probably can put in some time for the well documented information, official and otherwise, around. There's two barriers of entry. Knowledge and mechanical benefits. Now, I'll tell you straight the knowledge need is a poo poo ton lower then, say, Dota with it's puzzle piece team comp poo poo. But it's there. What do all these stats do, what do characters do (though you'll probably figure that one out by the game's climax) what you should take as items, what you should be doing, etc. Tooltips and recommended item stuff go pretty far for this but, hey, it's not perfect. You're not going to be a pro MLG player, no, but your numbers will go up and you'll throw good numbers at enemy mans and you'll play some god drat League. Not with all the tips and tricks, but it's still a modest investment for a game that isn't a cookie cutter pick up and play thing. Mechanical benefits are something you can't work around. You could be a Diamond player and make a smurf account but the mechanical barrier of entry is still there and lording over you. As a pre-30 (cuz I don't play that much I swear!!) person I can look at all the champ guides I want but what they advertise still won't necessarily work because I just don't got the runes. Particularly jungling, apparently! Those are mechanical barriers to entry that don't go away any time soon because a basic "catch-all" rune page for a lane or two costs the same as several champions and you gotta do that a few times. And then specialize them. Because, frustratingly, they do matter. That's a barrier to entry that doesn't go away for a long rear end time, while knowledge is one that gradually disappears if you invest a little time in the game beyond hitting the play button.  wow that turned into a lot of text at twelve am

Honestly, Graves is kinda hard to play because he's so short range. He's a tanky little poo poo, sure, but he'll get poked pretty badly. Jinx is anemic as hell but has incredible range and lots of toys to work with.
