I did like my Soraka support as Kog though... Just sat in lane farming until I had like 4.8k gold, bought some items and won the game.

gently caress that. At low elo people are absolutely retarded and will happily go teamfight in the jungle while a wave takes a tower. You should not let this happen if you are a support that has any form of waveclear (So... Blitz, Naut, Vel'koz, Brand, Zyra, Vel'Koz, Zilean). Losing a tower is way worse than your team going 2 for 3 instead of 3 for 2 in a teamfight that no objectives are taken off anyway.

Don't ever buy Sunfire on a support though. It just does nothing good at all.

I build devo on junglers when problems come along, or when something's going wrong. I find it helps me get straight, go forward, and move ahead.

I think I may stop playing ranked for a while. This dropped me from promos to Bronze 1 all the down to 0 LP Bronze 3. And the worst thing is I won my lane most of the time in these games

Played Jhin for free, he seems pretty rad+fun tbh. Hate adc though, how badly do i sabotage my team if I take him mid?

So unfortunately it looks like my GP gravy train is comin to an end, which makes me sad because it was my first champ I played a lot and the first champ I ever bought a skin for but anyway

Assuming the 3 keg limit is too much to overcome and still be good for a non-pro shitter like me, any suggestions for a top laner that has a similar playstyle top? As in, someone who can generally be pretty safe and farm-centric and doesn't have many bad matchups but can still contribute a lot to team later. I would go back to playing Pantheon or something but I just feel like there's such a proliferation of like malphite and nautilus and poo poo that I would just be sitting up there farming and then falling off later. I used to play Rumble a bunch and he might be ok after the tweaks/buffs but I kinda feel like it's gonna take more than what he's getting tonight to get him out of the dumpster.

but I hate those guuuuuys

I mean part of it is i just kinda like hipster picks that not a ton of people play, even though GP sees a lot of pro pick/bans I hardly ever see him in our games, that's part of the reason I play nocturne jungle a lot too

Gridlocked posted:

Ok so I'm apperntly a retard because I always use my first 2 shield charges as melee support on the first wave.

Why do you use one then back off? I'm sure you recover one in time to use it on the cannon on wave 3.

Is it because it causes you to push the wave and make the level 2 all in harder?

What is that website? Also does any website exist that shows the old stats that carry.gg did, I know one popped up for awhile but closed down already

wodin posted:

I've been learning top lane this season, and it's generally been a lot of fun. However, I really have no idea how to handle a strong ganking jungler getting up in my business. The thought is that I simply hang back near the turret and farm, but that feels like it puts my opponent too far ahead and I ultimately end up losing a lot of farm. It's made a little worse by playing Illaoi who needs to bully early, but still.

Any particular recommendations?

Lady Naga posted:

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.

zz'rot/banner of command was my favorite build on supports. When I saw top laners in LCS build it I knew my secret FreeLo Green build was done for

Speaking of being terrible and in bronze, could I ask for some critique?

I think I kept my ADC suitably fed and watered in both, and did a fair amount of saving teammates from certain death later in the game, but I also screwed up a lot trying to save teammates from their own screwups and dying in the process. I'm also sure I'm screwing up in plenty of other ways that I'm not even aware of, so I come seeking enlightenment.

Champ is pretty horrible though to be honest, all of her power comes from fighting around her tentacles and once people realize that she loses all her fighting capabilities outside of a massive ult. With no tricks to avoid/soak up CC she gets kited super easily.

Out of curiosity would anyone be interested in free coaching / replay reviews? I'm starting up streaming again and setting a more relaxed schedule so I don't feel burnt out, going to do something called teacher Tuesdays/ and maybe thursday, looking to probably stream 3 times a week for now until I get into the groove of things (also school keeps me busy). On Tuesdays I can spend something like 2-3 hours doing 1 to 1 coaching and then spend an hour or so teaching general concepts for everyone else in the stream. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to shoot! For people interested, I can cover any role except jungle up to Diamond, jungle is the only role I really don't play (I mean I can try, it just probably won't be as useful as an actual jungler teaching you.)

Daemonlasher posted:

Sweet, what's your IGN? I'll add you and ask for skype at some point, I can't do it this week (3 papers + midterm) but I will be starting up the following week. And it's all free of charge since I'm just starting up streaming and trying to get peeps to come hang out.

Soo I've picked Zac back up and god drat is he fun right now. he is such a total shithead in the jungle and his ganks are preposterous. I have been going W>Q>E to start, then maxing R>E>Q>W for that extra E range on ganks. His clear is still pretty fast and I never feel like I have to go back early. It's awesome.
