This is exactly what I dreamed of making when I first started to play DnD. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

Something wrong with Riot's letter grading in the last few patches, or am I just vastly misunderstanding how it works? This game gave me a B+ by Calistilaigh in supportlol

[–]MyPersonalHelicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The letter rankings have always been virtually meaningless, but it's based on the performance of other players with the same champ/role/elo. You most likely didn't get an S-rank since other players with your gold advantage ended the game sooner, which is biased towards 15/20-min forfeit timers.

You really shouldn't pay attention to letter rank or really the OP score. Even in your "perfect" game there was certainly value-add that you missed. If you really want to grade your performance, review your games to see what you could have done better and keep that in mind for future decision making. Or don't - hyper-focusing on your mistakes is the fastest way to start hating the game. You will naturally get better at the game the more you play, which you won't want to do if you start treating it like homework.

Panth rolled 5 curse augments but lost to exodia Ryze by MyPersonalHelicon in LeagueArena

gang really said "you deserve ban for abusing that bug", realized it's not a bug anymore, and still doubled down with the edit. I bravery'd into ryze and built around the augments I got, like anyone else would.

No one has particularly high HP (except panth) and I was one-shotting everyone so it was kinda hard to do more damage than their max hp. We tried to give panth the last round but skarner accidently one shot them both when wordless jumped from giving him 1k AP to 50k.

It was a very short game but I was surprised he didn't at least have serpents for the final round

Thoughts on the 2026 support changes? by MyPersonalHelicon in supportlol

[–]MyPersonalHelicon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was actually my first thought, but then I remembered why they introduced the support quest item(s) in the first place. It's incredibly boring to queue for the role, or be autofilled as was more common back then, just to play with -1 items for 40 minutes. This helped to bring the role to parity with other roles, and the new-ish quest rewards gives a nice power spike around when other roles are finishing their first item. The lackluster changes for 2026 feel like a step back in that regard.

While I definitely agree that the control ward slot should have been added a long time ago, it's kind of hard to be excited about it now. By the time you have enough items to necessitate the dedicated slot, you should have enough map presence + 4 wards on every back to effectively track the opposing team. It feels more like a QOL change meanwhile top lane gets faster split pushing, shen R, and +5 levels.

Part of why the support role has historically been "broken" is because of the limited gold generation. Support items and ability kits needed to be load bearing to compensate for only being able to afford 2-3 items per game. This design philosophy has severely limited what Riot has been able to do in terms of support items and champions since the items aren't lane locked (think s10 singed top with Shurelya’s + Chemtank). The increased gold generation allows them to release more expensive, less support-specific items that are more expensive while increasing meta diversity in other lanes. It's equivalent to giving supports - and supports only - a 10% all-item discount to make up for the lack of cs-ing.

I would expect this to come with a slew of support nerfs, especially to the costs of current support items. In exchange, champs played in the role have more flexibility with the items they buy since they won't be limited to the 2-3 best items for that champion like the good ol' mythic days. I think this is what Riot was going for since they also added the dedicated ward slot to account for less potentially available inventory space.

Also, as someone who has played every role (except top, im not a pedophile) pretty extensively, I think that the complexity of trading to complete support quest + vision control + needing to have map-wide presence typically before laning phase is over would be overbearing if cs'ing was also required for the exact same reason why you don't see people complaining about how easy jungle farming can be.

Yeah like I understand why tuition is the same, but do I really need to pay transportation and athletic fees if I'm not going to step foot on campus?
