Do you not own enough champs to play draft

I'm level 17 and I tried waiting in Normal draft queue for like ten minutes multiple times before deciding that Blind was a better use of my time.

max E W Q and build tank stuff and use your TP properly

against boring lanes use E to push the wave really hard and roam to midlane and use your ultimate on the midlaner for a free flash or kill

it's that easy!!

Do I harass with my E or do I just try and angle in and hit them with the anchor?

In my defense they were being really stupid. All the towers are down and nobody is on the map could they be doing Baron??? Nah time to ARAM.

What exactly is the logic behind shoving your top opponent underneath their tower because I always thought it was advantageous to CS under your own tower since it prevents people from diving on you?

I've yet to find a secondary role I really like. I loved playing mid in DOTA but for whatever reason I can't stand most AP casters in League. Jungle is something that's theoretically appealing to me as a shitter who'd rather farm a bunch and solo but the skill floor is much higher than most other lanes and I hate having to decide when to gank and when to farm. I used to really like support but it seems like it's getting harder and harder to find decent ADCs and I hate not being able to make the plays all by myself.

The free champ rotation this week sucks really bad too.

FWIW Teemo support is a surprisingly common occurance in very low ELO normals. In general "support" in low ELO normals means "I wanted to play solo but other people got the lanes first so now I have to take Exhaust on Nidalee and complain the entire time" but for some reason people love duo-botting with Teemo.

Hi I'm theladynaga please teach me how to get out of normals hell.

Probably because you're doing blind pick. It becomes a lot less common once you do Dyanmic Queue.
Dynamic Queue normals suck because it's all parties making GBS threads on solos.

Lately I've been matched a lot with people who are queuing with what I assume to be their friends, but like...They're not using voice comm together? So they refer to each other by first names in game chat and it's really weird and awkward. I don't want to know the names of megafeeders I might feel bad for hating them with a burning passion!

Verviticus posted:

who are you playing as? walk behind them and start autoing them and then use the abilities

the single most important thing about ganking imo (ignoring dives) is to hold your abilities unless they arent going to respond (like flash cocoon). you can gain a lot of ground by saving charges, stuns and whatnot until they've flashed or dodged themselves into a wall

As Amumu they just kind of trundle away after I bandage them.

I don't know how to put this nicely, so, if you just hit 30 last week then you won't have any idea what Thresh does. The question isn't whether he's "strong" (he is), it's whether you can play him effectively. By all means, try him out when he's free, but he's the most complex support to play and it's not particularly close.

edit: sorry, you're not 30 yet. My mistake. The "meta" has absolutely no relevance to your games

It was mostly a theoretical question, I like knowing where people stand even if it's not relevant to me personally.

Also FWIW I own Thresh & have played him & he's cool and I like him.
