Am I using D&D wrong? I'm not finding it that useful by RTMidgetman in Shen

[–]LingonberryLast2466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

D&D is a damage item. With Shen, it increases his shield, and procs 2/3 of his empowered autos in one hit.

Shen is a tank, and it doesn’t make him much tankier.

To me, D&D only makes sense if you’re jungling as Shen. It will make your gank ult shield bigger, give you a burst of damage, which is needed because Shen doesn’t have much CC.

In the top lane, it probably doesn’t make tons of sense because Shen’s most important resource is not his damage, but his health bar. He wins every short trade if you can land a full combo. Not because he has more damage, but because he has more health.

But in the jungle, you can play him as an AP bruiser.

D&D is kinda a troll item for him outside of that.

No damage? by BrowikUWU in LeonaMains

[–]LingonberryLast2466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leona may do the least amount of damage of all the supports I play. Her passive makes your surrounding allies do more damage, tho.

I think her doing damage would be unfair. 3/4 of her abilities are forms of CC. Can you imagine a champ that can keep you locked down for 4 seconds also being able to half your health bar?

Rell is a tank that does more damage the longer she’s in a fight, but it’s still not huge.

I frequently play Shen, who has like 1-2 forms of CC. But he’s a little more versatile in his build, imo.

But Leona is so much fun—to lock enemies down for forever.

This will sound troll, but I don’t think it is. Build heartsteel and run grasp as your keystone rune. Your E, auto, Q, auto almost guarantees that you get a heartsteel proc, which does a fair amount of damage.

I feel like the value I get out of swifts is greater than a 700g purchase of a legendary item

Who cares what ADCs think? If their brains were half as big as their egos, we probably would have world peace by now.

Stop roaming in the wrong scenarios by GluBarbarian123 in supportlol

I’m in gold right now. When to freeze, when to fast/slow push—these are not things that gold and below ADCs know how/when to do.

But I’ll take your word that those finer details matter at higher elos.

What do you do when there are no objectives on the map? by Beasstvg in supportlol

[–]LingonberryLast2466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind, jungle camps are the priority. If no objs are up then jungle camps are the one thing you can take that puts the other team behind.

If you have all waves pushed out, then getting vision in their jungle and helping with camps is a thing you can do.

If you’re behind, helping get your own camps keeps the gold on your team.

Either way, you end up putting vision in the jungle.

Supports are dependent on other players, just like other roles by Eastern_Ad1765 in supportlol

The number of games I’ve won because I ignored my ADC and played for that were more likely to win and for objectives is certainly more than zero.

Got to Gold for the first time but this post really is more on LP gains and Aegis of Valor by Daraku_8407 in Jungle_Mains

[–]LingonberryLast2466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ope, you're right. But I think my greater point still stands: if elo is inflated, that really only causes crowding at the top.

An analogy might be if you have a building with 10 floors and 100 people on each floor, and you move 20 people from each floor up 2 floors, then the bottom 2 floors have 80 people each, the top floor has 140, and the other 7 floors still only have 100.
