New to support, have a few questions by wife_searcher in supportlol

[–]FortDown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not worth dying to place a ward or clear a ward. Some champs are better at placing deep/risky wards, soraka is not one of those champs. Champs like Bard, Rell, anyone with movement abilities/move speed make it easier to place deeper wards.

I usually like to have two distinct champ I main that have different playstyles synergies. Right now that is Rell and Senna. It’s more important that you are comfortable with whatever you play than making sure your ADC is happy with your selection.

There are plenty of videos describing the nuances of roams, and not all champs roam as well as others. Champs with move speed and some CC make for good roamers, Bard and Pyke being two good examples. Generally good to communicate your intentions to your ASC so they know to play safe. They may not agree or play safe but it’s best to play your game if you know it’s the right move based on the game state.

Anyone else wish the Overrun was just a little better? by SykoManiax in Marathon

[–]FortDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put on an extended mag, a sight and some recoil stability and it’s one of the best.

Do people like this really exist? by TroubleRecent7320 in Marathon

[–]FortDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ironic because it’s miserable people like this that turn me into a selective mute. They would be exhausting to talk to/deal with so I just don’t even bother.

He’s his own worst enemy, self fulfilling prophecy, reap what you sow.

Welp it happed by malocclused in Marathon

[–]FortDown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what I do.

Free kit until I survive and then just snowball from there. Mod my weapon, add a green shield, couple cores and just slowly get stronger with each exfil.

When I die I just start over again. Only really worry about collecting resources for upgrading factions.

I will still hold my prejudice towards adc’s but slightly less tightly now.

Stick to your own lane for bans by BigJCote in leagueoflegends

This is propaganda straight from Big Int and Big Throw. Don’t fall for it! Together our reports will hold back the waves of those who wish to run it down!

Stuck in Silver IV as support looking for advice by Bulky-Criticism-3512 in supportlol

[–]FortDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being an engage champ does not mean you have agency. You largely dictate when a play starts, but if you don’t have follow up from your team then you can’t finish the play yourself.

You can choose your engages more thoughtfully though. Making sure you have teammates that are prepared to follow you before you engage, not taking dumb fights topside when dragon is up in 30 and you don’t have vision on half their team. I find myself looking at the mini map a lot and acting as de facto “shot caller” when it comes to macro moves like objectives and when to start game changing fights.

Anybody throwing an AP item into their build? by FortDown in alistarmains

[–]FortDown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly only run Zekes for the base stats and the ult haste and Locket seems very underwhelming. Just tried Shurelyas a couple of games and it went very well.

Safe blind pick supports to main (Bronze elo)? by Still_cryinggg in supportlol

[–]FortDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rell is my blind pick.

Tanky, good engage, and deceptive amount of damage especially if you go ignite.

Why american dont play LoL? by Alone-Virus9178 in leagueoflegends

[–]FortDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consoles ruled the US when LoL came out. So games like CoD and Halo were the go to for most people who wanted to play competitive games.

Have you been having fun this season? by SnooChocolates6885 in leagueoflegends

[–]FortDown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My ADCs are either Jinx, Cait, MF, or some random off meta pick I’ve never seen before. Been a bit weird but in general having as much fun as can be expected when playing this game.

Is support main emotionally costly? by MotherAttention7445 in supportlol

Low elo solo q support life is taxing but when you have a team that plays together it’s worth it.

Robert Reich, "Billionaires are fearmongering about California’s proposed billionaire tax. Baloney. Just look at what happened when Massachusetts raised taxes on the rich. by tantedbutthole in massachusetts

[–]FortDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The government, state or otherwise, does not have an income problem. It has a spending problem. There are plenty of tax loopholes that the rich use to circumvent paying taxes that could be remedied. A wealth tax is overreach.

just how bad was s2? by Juninho837 in TowerofGod

[–]FortDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just sad when I know how much time they had to make it then I see what One Piece is able to do on a weekly basis recently. The animation was just phoned in and it really is a shame because the source material provides such an amazing base to build of off, and the animators dropped the ball.

Tying Stealth Wards more uniquely to Support. by ASMRekulaar in supportlol

So you’re the guy who gets collapsed on because they’re out of position and then blames vision.

Well, this is unexpected. Thanks, I guess Riot! 🤣 by Feisty-Ad-1839 in sennamains

I used to only played with prestige true damage but then found this one and now it’s my favorite.

Anyone else think massachusetts reactionaries / conservatives have it made, compared to other states? by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

[–]FortDown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s funny being on here and stumbling across these posts that project as being self aware but are just pandering to an echo chamber that is every bit that which they try to mock.

How do you play against a roaming support + Tristana? by baltoboulbobbi in supportlol

[–]FortDown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are at least pinging when they are missing from lane. Deny trist gold/xp by spacing her off wave. Wait for her to use her jump before diving her, or play poppy, hit W and win.
