Totally not going Thresh. He provoked Lucian into a life of bike theft! D:

Re: Leegue of Legands
Tonight I started a match. Looked like things would be fine; I play Taric and call carry, gonna go with my adc. Yi calls jungle, Garen calls top and Some-such IV goes Mid, mostly because he was late to everything else.
Yi immediately decided upon the mind-meltingly stupid idea that HE'D carry instead, and told me to go mid. Wanting to avoid an argument, I just did it.
That little plan quickly spiralled into a fed Riven which doomed us 5 minutes in. By the time the Yi sobered up enough to let me carry my adc like I was supposed to, it was too late.

Yi decides to carry instead and replaces taric in duo lane with adc
I think you were supposed to use the word support once or twice somewhar in there.

Yeah, I was mentally subbing support with carry ^^;
My line of logic is that the support carries the adc through the early game.
What I meant was Yi decides to support and replaces Taric in bot, and sends Taric to mid.

Re: Leegue of Legands
Yi support... sounds like a certain someone.
I figured you were using that substitution, but it is confusing. I think of supports as supports. I don't have to feel like I'm carrying a RADC to feel important, in fact I'd rather not feel important but instead appreciated. That's not to say supports can't be thought of as vital components to a victory or strategy, I just don't care for dem feels. A radc can do most of the work in lane just as a support can do most of the work in lane; the way I figure RADCs and APCs are called such because they contribute a lot of damage. Anyone can influence the outcome of a game (AKA carry), if they couldn't I probably wouldn't find them a fun character (exempting nidalee. She can turn into a cat, but she's useful so...). On that note, do you feel useless late game as a support?

Re: Leegue of Legands
As Taric I generally didn't feel that bad. I didn't do much direct fighting at the last stage, but I'd heal allies who needed it, stun enemy champs to make openings, and use his ult and W to buff and nerf as needed.

Re: Leegue of Legands
Are people liable to mock me for playing Sona? XD

Re: Leegue of Legands
People are liable to mock you for playing. Period. No champion will save you.
But why do you feel Sona is especially mock-attracting? She can't even talk back, that's just cruel.

I actually saw a forum joke to that effect.
But anyways, I've just heard that Sona's an extremely easy champ to play. That said, a friend of mine invited me into a game with a bunch of level 30's (I'm still 9) and I successfully helped my adc (Cait) feed, so that was cool Ended the game at 2/1/20.

Re: Leegue of Legands
This is where I say go back and watch the video on page 10 (post 147)
IN OTHER NEWS: Not as good as #2 in my opinion:
It may not have helped that they are mostly creatures so the sound effects make it hard to understand them.. Favorite was either Morde (hue) or Hecarim. So many metal band references in Morde's. XD Hopefully part 2 of this one will come out a bit cleaner and cooler.

Re: Leegue of Legands
Hey guys, should I buy Akali or Sona next? I'd prefer not being at the mercy of the random rotations so I can have a number of roles and champs I'm comfortable with for my team.
Once I have both I'll begin saving for Ahri

Re: Leegue of Legands
That's a personal call. If you can afford either I don't really know what to tell you, but if not just get the cheaper one/whichever is not free first. 450's can be your friend.

Re: Leegue of Legands
good point. I think I'll buy Sona first, then a couple 450 simple champs like Ryze, Annie or Garen, so I have a variety to work with while I save for Akali and Ahri.

Re: Leegue of Legands
Whelp, I just carried my team today.
As Sona.
I was supping with this Teemo on bot, who proceeded to use my hard work building him to wander around planting shrooms in random bushes, then sitting in random bushes and waiting for facechecks, and doing not much else. He even kept leaving lane pushes or team fights to go shroom up bushes!
Seeing his "work" I decided to build for burst rather than supp. By the time I hit level 18 and had a few items under my belt I could burst down enemy champs quickly and mostly safely thanks to Lich Bane and Power Chord.
The enemy team had this Ahri and ultimately I wound up being our best defense against her. My early obsession with Ahri before joining league turned out useful; ik what controlling Ahri is like, ik how hard hitting a moving target with charm is. I was able to dance around her, procing power chord and bursting her down. We eventually won, but man! XD
Got 2 Honorable Opponents and 2 Teamworks for that XD

Re: Leegue of Legands
I had a great match today as Ahri Went up against a Syndra that REALLY pushed me. Mostly I kept moving to dodge her orbs while poking her with Q. I managed to edge out a lead where I got ult first. After that there was no stopping me; I ulted into her, charmed her, and burst her down.
Still, that was the first time I really got pushed in how I used Ahri, so I was grateful for the challenge

it was fun surprising people by bursting them down as SOna.
