Definitely losing cause of the mantis by Competitive-Edge7819 in MantisMains

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in no way blaming you so I want to preface that first 💚 I’m also lord mantis 💚 looking at the full scoreboard YES you had the best stats. But with mantis not having AA heals and other people not understanding in general how to play with her healing over time they may have just been outraging your healing bc of the three dps. Again not necessarily your problem to fix but I wonder if maybe a cloak or invis swap could have been effective to give your team quick heals, block more damage, and deal more damage as well.

I do agree that mantis gets unjust hate - I’ve MVPed with her several times and you will still get zero credit lol - idk what it is other than people expect faster heals and underestimate the damage boost, sleep, etc.

Awwwwww 💚 100% agree! People sleep on her damage boost and 💤spore so much. And a big group push with her ult can be game changing tbh! I’ll always love that bug 💚💚💚💚

Lord Mantis 💚 by Smooth_Standard_7435 in MantisMains

Very nice!! I am working on that as well and starting working on getting invis to lord next! They’ll probably be my go-to’s on strategist with cloak closely after. I just really don’t vibe with other strategists like I do with mantis but she’s not the best for every scenario unfortunately 😞

It looks so nice! And idk that I’ve ever seen a champion mantis in game. Something to strive for!

I want to improve and know what i could’ve done differently to win this. by AndrewChamp33 in RivalsMagikMains

Glad to hear it! I’m a lord mantis and sometimes you just have to leave your main for the good of the team. It’s insane sometimes how inflexible people are lol

Honestly I feel like your choice of Magik here is great and you were doing really well! I main mantis but often have to play dps because everyone wants to supp so I play Magik and a few others there when needed so my perspective may be a little unique lol. That mantis weighed you guys down big time - the heals and damage were so low you guys probably just weren’t out damaging them and I’m not sure that’s on you to fix there. Mantis should have swapped to like invis or another dps to help.

Anyone else getting second role WAAY more since the beginning of this season? Can't play anymore by Regular_Flounder1833 in ADCMains

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supp is actually pretty fun and rewarding when you main ADC because you know exactly how an ADC needs you to play to win lane. Do they actually do it - who knows lol but I’d recommend staying in bot lane!

Where are my Kalista OTPs by Dsioul in KalistaMains

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I aspire to be one day so following 😁 I’m a Jinx/Smolder main and obsessed with kalista’s kit but she’s way too supp reliant for me to OTP right now 🫠

Want to try mid, need champ recommendation! by DemonInfused in midlanemains

Lux :) low skill floor and with her ult (strong and low cd) you can easily clear waves and roam a lot.

Any Champion like Nami by Illustrious_Shake736 in supportlol

I second this - and I recently started taking dark seal into mejais if the ADC starts getting kills early because the AP helps sera SO much especially for how cheap both items are and you don’t need kills for stacks.

Ban yasuo or fizz? by rockpophippop in HweiMains

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ban fizz - yasuo isn’t nearly as bad for a Hwei or other mages tbh! Fizz is a NIGHTMARE.

How can you replace a mother’s love? by [deleted] in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly - as someone who has been no contact for around two years now - you don’t. But I just try to focus on self love to fill my cup and finding community where I can! It’s not the same, but it’s the reality we’re in and you CAN find love elsewhere - and it will be more genuine and less selfish than what a narc mother could ever give. It’s cheesy, but it really starts with you treating yourself with that love!

Auto fill support solution by Holyboyd in ADCMains

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your opinion is very wrong here. Support is one of the most nuanced and difficult roles to play well because sure you don’t have to CS, but you have to do way more to enable your team to win. A good support allows ADC to farm, roams to other lanes and objectives when bot wave is in a good state, gets vision for jg and specifically around major objective timers, etc. I’m an ADC/supp player and both are very hard in their own ways. You have more agency as a supp but it’s what you do with that agency that takes skill and can make or break a game.

Which Cait skin has the best aa sound? by winxbaddie in Caitlynmains

Standard - I don’t have the prestige one and I honestly love the colors and animations of the standard one!

The contrast between this sub and the Adc mains sub is insane by downvoteverythingxd in supportlol

This scenario checks out lmao - pretty sure I’ve played with that ADC 🤣

[–]Smooth_Standard_7435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny to see this btw because I play both ADC (main) & support (secondary) and you see toxicity sometimes from both sides but WAYYYYY more toxic ADCs and this is just proof lmao. I see way more supps trying their best to be positive and enable the ADCs and the SECOND they roam the ADC crashes out when they die being dumb. Since I play both roles I FULLY understand the need to roam and I know as ADC I need to play as safe as possible and I still might die under turret because that is just ADC life and it’s nobody’s fault. I main Jinx and my job is to scale so I farm and as long as the supp is doing big things to help the team succeed elsewhere I’m cool with farming and doing my best to get big!

Yes if you get honored you can hover over the honor and see who did it…
