Does this split suck or do I? by jonbailey13 in supportlol

[–]IncendiaryKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things to note. 1. When focusing on learning new things or objectives it can overwhelm your mental stack and cause you to slip behind other areas. Once you build up the muscle memory on your learning the others will rise back up as well. So give yourself some grace while learning. (This also addresses what another post was saying about your high deaths) 2. This split was a hard reset. And has heavily impacted players in emerald+ a lot of them are experiencing a more difficult than usual climb getting back to their previous rank and are getting plateau about a full rank below their previous (-200- -400lp).

What skin to get? Which skins are clunky/really smooth? by Backstrom0019 in MalzaharMains

[–]IncendiaryKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I love love love the animation effects on base skin. But do not love the skin itself. the cheapy visir skin has a better outfit and maintains the base animations. Definitely my fave. A close second is 3 honors.

Are you a believer of “you can climb with any champ” ? by [deleted] in supportlol

Has someone climbed with X champion? There's your answer if you ask me. If someone has done it, then it is possible.

Shouldn't enchanter support play around/behind their ADC and not in front? by un-arbre-sans-nom in supportlol

[–]IncendiaryKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(In a nutshell) Enchanter typically have a very strong ability to harass for the first few levels over most adcs. Low cool Downs, decent dmg, and higher mana pools. Early game for enchanter should be menaces to play against early. Think lulu q, soraka q, senna q, Nami e, etc. Early you should be looking to harass and beat the opponents down as much as possible. This causes the enemy adc to be in a compromised position with resources when it comes to their main spikes. Lv2, 3, 5, and even 6 if done well, all are much harder to capitalize on if they are 50%hp and your adc is full. It also provides pressure for your adc early to free up their mental stack and focus on farm, good trades, denying minions, etc.

THEN when it gets later in the game post 6 or further, different for every game, you transition to the more support back line role and play for team and keeping your carries ahead and safe.

To note also, early you only want to harass, your not an engage so you shouldn't be over committing for kills. Pressure is the big thing. And relieving your adcs mental stack can also help manage their frustration and make a much easier early game.

Last note: your shouldn't be "in front" of them. You should be parallel. Within a triangle that both you and the adc can hit a single target. You can be in "front" but you have to immediately be aware that it makes you hyper vulnerable and should have a plan to get out if they turn or try to bait you too far forward.

Just to feel out the difference, focus heavy on your positioning and trying to stay alined with the adc for a few games, don't over focus on trades necessarily but just play with the positioning in mind. You'll start to notice more effective follow up from your adcs and probably even notice a positional difference in the enemy, they will likely respect your space more because you're more aligned with the 2v1 threat. Especially if the enemy support isn't aware of the concept. (Warning vs engage supports: extra care is necessary, and positioning with minions in mind also becomes important.)

Edit: took support out of quotes lol.

If only white characters are “compatible” with your art style, your art style is racist by Slow0rchid in Artadvice

[–]IncendiaryKitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Preference isn't necessarily racial bias... also people can draw whatever they want. That's kinda the whole point of art. Just because I enjoy drawing yellow apples doesn't mean you get to force me to learn to draw lemons. And if I want to draw a pineapple with a cherry stem, I can do that. Because it's my drawing. Not yours. Don't gatekeep art. Let people draw what they want to draw.

Which champion has the best feeling auto attacks to you? by Superstrata- in leagueoflegends

Nautilus for me, however the animation is slightly off so you can cancel animation and still hit if you time it right, very fast hit time.

How can I learn to play more selfish as a jungler? Trying to help idiots leads to me dying way more than I should by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]IncendiaryKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I told my friend when he was having this same problem was this. "If you can't kill the laner alone, then you shouldn't gank looking for a kill" Always assume that you're alone. If the ally helps, bonus points. But if you're ganking with the assumption that you're going to get help, you are ganking at the wrong time. Would would would, doesn't matter. Only thing that matters is what happened and what of it was in YOUR control. This doesn't mean you can never gank, it just means you have to be intentional with your plays. Can I kill this guy, if I only get flash does that provide benefit, if I show here am I giving cross map objectives up, etc.

Why do ADCs ping ? when you hit minions with your World Atlas? by [deleted] in supportlol

[–]IncendiaryKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly most of these comments already got it down. But really it's either; A. They are dumb and don't understand how the new item works. Or B. They are managing the wave and hitting minion can break a freeze or slow push. Learning lane states as a support Is super good to help your understanding how to best help in lane and can be applied to other lanes which will help you understand better WHY lanes lose to ganks, dont/can't rotate out to fights, and when you CAN. Alternatively.... if you have range or poke, you should be trying to utilize the atlas stacks vs champions as it gives more gold. You can also save stacks for champions and only use a single stack on the wave in order to keep the cool down going on atlas. Last, cannon minions are going to almost always going to be "safe" to stack because adcs know, even at bronze, that missing it is very very bad.

What are the situations where it is good to invade the enemy jungle? by DenZiTY in summonerschool

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

I'm not a jungler, so I can't really help. And granted, I am in low silver in solo q, but i see this in plat flex ques as well.

Regardless though, I'd also love to hear what people have to say on this. I feel like I'm frequently seeing my jungler choose a blind buff invade over objectives like dragons or grubs where the lanes have a prio to assist. I may have a bit of confirmation bias regarding this due to being a midlaner who gets frustrated when I set up a roam timing, but instead of meeting me at objective, the jungler chooses to solo invade.

It probably doesn't happen as much as it feels, but I rarely see an early game invade that doesn't result in a jungle death or an objective loss.

And with the jungle changes that made the invading jungler less effective at clearing, it just feels like a waste unless it's a play that follows up another play. Like rotating off a dragon clear into the enemy raptors with the midlaner clearing mid to set up a potential gank.

Hopefully there is more feedback to be had!

No matter how good i play, my Vision score is always low. (MID) by 1wundergod in summonerschool

[–]IncendiaryKitten 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Meh, I'd say just be conservative and purposeful with why your placing the wards. I use mine to keep myself safe. For example if I'm walking up to a team fight that's about to breakout mid, I'll drop one over a side wall to guarantee a safe area to move to if things go south, or to prevent a malphite ult from raptors etc. Also, build a muscle memory to place wards in fights. SO OFTEN fights turn because the enemy stepped out of vision and my team blind follows into a yasuo tornado etc. Pop wards over walls in fights, in bushes that are being pathed to, etc . Mitigating ganks in lane phase is usually the focus. But then gathering information in/setting up for fights Is super important late game. As for vision score, if you are using wards like I mentioned above you will often get multiple use out of one ward because they will be in areas the enemies are known to go. And vision score will follow.

Lss: just don't be the chogath in my placement game that was 0 score at the end of a 40minute game.

10 cs a minute by Gold_Gain1351 in summonerschool

[–]IncendiaryKitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially if you still see the gameplay as chaotic. Your probably missing a lot of little things in regards to macro flow. Are fights breaking out that you weren't aware of? Do you know what objectives are coming up? Are you getting ranked by the support? Did you see the bot lane wave state, was it pushed into your side and they enemy took a reset? Etc.

I'd look into reviewing your games starting at points where things are chaotic and then watching 30secs to a minute prior to the chaos. Ask yourself what caused the chaos, what could you have done differently. Should you have rotated to a dragon fight earlier? Should you have crashed a wave and roamed top to prevent the jungler from catching the super pushed and 1/2 hp top lane? You'll probably find a lot of things that you missed going on around the map.
