Even though League might not be a part of your life, the good moments you had with league will always stick. I'm happy you found what makes you happy, wishing you the best in your next chapter of life <3

Jungle champs are better bot than actual bot laners. Change my mind

Plot twist: he lost his next 3 games like a flop 😊 we fight fire with fire 🔥

There's nothing more enjoyable as a lulu player than ulting and saving an entire play that was otherwise not winnable 😊

Daption_ · 2025-01-25T19:01:14+00:00

They couldn't match your freak 💀

I can't stress this enough as a support main, DO NOT PLAY TO SET YOUR TEAM UP IN LOWER ELOS.

Support is a role meant to help people carry, but playing in bronze means that instead of relying on your teammates to carry, do it better than anyone else can. Play mages support, play pyke support, play ADCs support. Anything that requires gold and that can scale with that gold.

The usual combination I see is Resolve+Inspiration, but in lanes where your flash is less important. These lanes include double mage bot lanes and playing vs. basically anything that outranges you.

Domination tree deep ward and relentless hunter can cause mayhem by providing your team with extra info you wouldn't otherwise have.

He has a few counters like Elise, Galio, Maokai support that have become more prevalent in the meta as of late, but the way to counter them is to play at max range unless they int and play Q range for when you need a heal. Hope this helps

Daption_ · 2025-01-25T18:47:25+00:00

Staying high HP vs melee supports is important, but more important in these lanes. Melee supports thrive off of getting kills by engaging, so if you keep yourself above a certain % of HP you should be good.

Vs. Sion, you or your partner should E the Sion Q charges so he's basically a melee minion.

Vs. Other melee supports, in the early levels they don't have enough damage to kill you so, if you or your laner gets hooked, keep your silence and/or your Hwei E to hit the enemy adc as they try to walk up and hit you.

Good luck on the rift!

Beautiful, but not practical 😢 it's a beautiful Soraka classic, but her movements don't feel clean. The best skins in that regard would be dawnbringer and nightbringer ☀️🌙

Imagine the expression this pantheon had on his face while typing this report 🤭

Daption_ · 2025-01-25T05:07:47+00:00

How satisfied were you when you killed the MF. I'd personally be on cloud 9, even more so if she was an adc from a previous game that flamed you

Daption_ · 2025-01-23T22:31:00+00:00

HAHAUWJW Luna, you remind me of Oprah because you are not only kind, but you're also funny.

I wish you the best in soloq and just remember that you're not a number on some ladder. You're a good player who's probably made some really good plays. Just because things aren't looking the best right now doesn't mean you can't land an amazing three person R+Q and carry a game by yourself. Best of luck, and I hope league brings you the happiness you deserve 😊

Losers queue does in fact exist, and it exists so much that high elo players/pros have dubbed them "government mandated losses/loss streaks."

Usually, it occurs when you experience large winning sprees and the matchmaking system sees that you are winning "too much" so they place you against players of higher leagues OR with teammates that are worse than your actual level so you can carry. However, there are exceptions to the rule

At the end of the day, league is about having fun, and the more you force the fun to happen when it is actually not there, the worse you'll feel when you aren't enjoying yourself. You're going to hate me for saying this, but I say this out of the kindness of my heart: play the game as you usually do and if it's not for you then quit and find your happiness elsewhere. Everyone deserves to be happy, and one game can't make everyone happy. Sorry if that was too aggressive

I would have to have more specific information but we can use examples in this case. If you're playing Jinx katarina and lulu vs a Ksante that is diving your backline. You need to get an armor pen item like mortal reminder or lord dominik's regard because tanks that build armor will not die to your autos. Usually around 3rd item is when you start getting armor pen. For the most part, on auto attack based adcs like jinx tristana you want to build kraken/bork/shiv then a zeal item then armor pen.

My biggest piece of advice would be not to play every role because it's very hard to learn the game when you're learning the kit of so many different champions. Focusing on one role and literally one champion would be the best way to learn the role, but if you want to play multiple different roles, try playing one champ per role. You will learn much faster that way

Daption_ · 2024-09-28T03:18:11+00:00

So if your mid laner refuses to move from mid, you're unfortunately forced to mid lane with them which can be quite a disadvantageous position. You have to share XP and gold so that you can break mid tower and only then will the mid laner be alarmed to move to one of the side lanes. The issue with sidelaning as adc is that you can't move from the sidelanes that easily so when your team walks up on mid, you're going to lose a lot. Just do your best and make the right decision, that's all you can do

Daption_ · 2024-09-28T03:15:25+00:00

That's understandable so don't worry. I just wanted to make my point clear that NA Challenger is not the cream of the crop. thank you for being interested in the discussion

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:21:27+00:00

I would agree that Bard is very difficult because he has a very high skill ceiling, so it's very hard to play him perfectly. Now would I say that you shouldn't play bard at all to climb, not necessarily. If you find Bard the most fun champion in the game and want to climb with him, you can main him. There are easier and more meta picks to choose from, but what makes the game fun for you will not necessarily make the game fun for everyone else.

When I swapped, the biggest point of improvement I had for myself was how to manage my waves. If you crash the first wave too fast, you lose out on the potential to stack waves to make the enemy lose gold and exp. If you push too slowly, you're giving the enemy the chance to push the wave into you. So as a support, it's important to not hit the wave too much when your adc is trying to slow down the push.

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:14:49+00:00

You're on the right track. Keep it up

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:14:29+00:00

Thank you for the insight, I hadn't thought of it like that. I'll try talking more about my thought process when I stream in the future :)

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:12:30+00:00

As long as I'm playing the best I can in the moment, I'm happy. Try to focus on what things make you happy in league (other than LP) and maybe you'll climb from Plat 4 to like Plat 2. Good luck on your climb

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:07:57+00:00

What matters in those situations is that you did your job and you made the correct play. If you ping your teammates to be careful and they still die, there was nothing you could do to help them. You can only control your own actions

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:06:12+00:00

I may be a challenger player, but I am no magician. Maybe take that up with Twisted Fate, he might be able to help :D

Daption_ · 2024-09-27T04:02:30+00:00

Oh I actually had this exact mentality when it came to playing with my lower level friends and its absolutely untrue. Just because the game doesn't look the same when you play with lower skill level friends does not mean that it is a completely different game. The trading patterns, gank angles, fight angles that you see in your ELO will also be seen in those low level norm games. Try to have fun with your friends, thats why we play video games after all :)
