Zaodai posted:I've been playing support recently for my games after work, because it's relaxingly mindless down in the shitter ranks where I play. Every time I pick Sona, the carry always complains. "But I play aggressive, Sona is worthless!" Sona is hyper aggressive and low MMR players are dumb as poo poo. A power chord Q can delete an ADC who is out of position

bans matter at every level edit: You have to assume everyone is bad and letting a champ go through that can punish everyone on your team for every mistake is just asking to lose

rabidsquid posted:In bronze I think you just ban the easier to play high winrate champs, especially if they're tanky. I bet Malphite would be the strongest bronze champ atm. Junglers who do well with farm seem pretty good too, since people CS worse down there. I think that's why Master Yi has had a reign of terror for so long Bltizcrank is always a good champ to ban because you don't want to rely on anyone being able to not get hooked.

it doesn't help that every person who makes newbie guides on youtube tells people to never surrender because you never know! Which is bullshit because being down 15 kills at 25 minutes and missing an inhib means the game is over unless you somehow manage to drag that poo poo on 40 more minutes trying to poorly backdoor.

BigLeafyTree posted:New players may not have the best sense for when a game is winnable or a completely beyond hope disaster, and playing out games is a good learning experience. I don't mind surrendering games that are beyond salvation barring the leading team AFKing for 10 minutes, but some people seem to only want to play if they're winning and torpedo morale by spamming surrender and complaining otherwise. That's all fine and good, but if you are new, you are probably not good enough to reverse a losing game. And its one thing if the vote is 1/4 because someone is rage surrendering. But being the one hold out in a 3/2 game is dumb because that means over half your team has given up and if you were good enough to drag around 4 corpses you wouldn't be in bronze in the first place. New people understand if no one on their team has a positive score and are down multiple towers to none that the game will take 50+ minutes of unbearable slog to turn around. It is all about time investment over results.

K8.0 posted:The extreme popularity of NA LCS despite Rivington pretty well proves that nobody gives a gently caress about casters anyway. Pretty much this. They are getting paid a lot of money relative to the value they bring to the event. No one gives a poo poo about who is calling a match unless they are nasally and awful. As long as their voice is decent, their analysis and everything else is meaningless to most viewers.

The secret to climbing is mechanics and map awareness, but beyond that is learning how to lead a team. This doesn't just mean giving orders in chat or pinging, but forcing fights when you know you can win, or herding your squad into pushing towers, taking objectives, etc. Put people on your back if you are that much better than everyone in the game. If not, go back to working on mechanics and map awareness until you are. edit: Also, don't pick out of meta champs if you aren't good enough with meta ones.

They only found 25% of people they let go were also assholes in game. This whole study is a complete waste of time and money, which isn't surprising I guess. Riot waste resources and man hours on some of the dumbest poo poo.

The Dregs posted:Anyone have any good Sona tips for an idiot trying to claw his way out of b5? Use Q infused Power Chords on the ADC when they go in to last hit back row minions. Don't be too aggressive against supports with lockdowns like leona or braum or blitz. Be as aggressive or passive as your ADC indicates. Going hard in the paint while your Ashe is gingerly last hitting is a good way to get yourself and them on tilt. Ward aggressively through the entire game, not just during laning phase. Help your jungle secure dragons during mid and barons during late with good warding. Post a replay for more specific stuff

Schiavona posted:Play Zyra instead At Bronze 5 it is almost a guarantee this guys problem is not champ selection, but mechanics and game vision. Playing Zyra adds too much extra to the laning phase. Sona is a good champ because her mechanics are simple, with the only thing you have to keep up with is power chords. Bad Zyra play leads to over pushed lanes and pissed off ADCs.

I wanna say one thing about Bronze, as someone who has spent a lot of time in Bronze playing support, is that most players at that level spend too much time worrying about their lane phase mechanics. Every Bronze game starts out like a typical League game at any level, except the last hitting and trades are dumber. However, once that first tower goes down, it turns into a clown fiesta. Bronze games devolve into ARAM around the mid game, with people occasionally over extending and getting caught in the outer lanes. Objective control is non-existent. As a support, you can mitigate this poo poo fest by keeping tabs on dragon/baron timers and warding appropriately. Also, you can keep your dumbass teammate who is split pushing past the river alive by warding that side of the map to give them some vision to maybe escape the 4 people coming to gank them. Force teamfights with your ult if the odds look in your favor. A lot of Bronze ADCs will wander off on their own and if you see theirs missing while your whole team is there, mash that Ult and lets loving go. Vermain posted:The counterpoint to this is that Leona also requires solid game knowledge about when an appropriate time to engage is, especially during laning phase, because it's real easy to see what looks like a golden opportunity, leap for it, and find yourself alone in the middle of 4 enemies. Yea, I think play someone else is generally bad advice. At that level, you can play any character and win as long as they are in the proper role. If he is comfortable with Sona, he can spend more time worrying about what is happening in the game and less on what buttons do what.

Mystery Prize posted:Yeah I definitely don't get how ranked flex works, at all. Most of my team last game was high gold/low plat, and they had a duo of a diamond 2 lee and a Diamond 1 anivia, who completely shitstomped us into the ground. My mmr is in mid silver on flex queue and I ended up getting a mix of golds and a bronze V on my team vs a plat, a smattering of silvers on the other team. It is a complete clown fiesta.

And if your MMR is high enough you will get 25+ points a match for a win. That is where I am right now. So you can blow through a division in 6 games if you win.

Addamere posted:I used the builds on champion.gg but I've heard people here say not to just rely on those. How do you folks recommend building Vi? It depends on the game and the situation, just like every other champion. NA.op.gg has some good ideas on what to build on her. Sometimes you need to be tankier, sometimes you need to be bruiser, sometimes you need to be almost assassin like. Depends on what your team is needing
