gold/plat elo.

I am a support main, and was getting tired of my team not translating the gold lead created from my roams into objectives/map pressure. So, I decided to start queuing ADC.

And let me tell you, the amount of support players that I have been paired with who would just sit behind their ADC / use their abilities on the wave while missing enemy ADC. And actually not warding at all is insane.

Caitlin/Aphelios/Jinx whenever I played these champs I always ended up being zoned from the wave duo to my support missplaying (dying) or missplaying (staying AFK behind me)

Only after I picked yasuo/ezrael that I managed to play this godforsaken lane as a solo lane and not relying on my support to do anything.

(I would just ban caitlin first pick yasuo/ezrael) and at least, at least manage to cs in the worst case scenario.

Being denied cs is one of the most excoriating things an ADC could ever suffer from.

Turns out as a support main I have high standard for support gameplay I am never queuing ADC ever again

I have noticed that in a bunch of my games where we had (stacked 3 dragons)/(got grubs and herald) and applied a lot of map pressure.

There is always that laner who will decide to go psychotic and go on the far lane without TP. (or two laners)

Enemy team will just 5 men it. Get a pick on an overextending laner (on the objective side) Then our other laner will refuse to group to help.

Either ways it's either 4v5 or 3v5
Until they secure a pick on us or straight have enough objective control to take the baron/(start their own dragon stacking).

Question: when you get your lane ahead, roam and get other lanes ahead, place deep wards, and then have all your efforts squandered because enemy choose to 5 men it while your teammate either overextend and get picked or outright refuse to group for objective. It just make it frustrating. How am I supposed to deal with this ?

I have had 6 enemy Nocturne JG in my last 8 games.

And I have noticed that if you don't actively ping the ADC to back away from the center of the midlane then they will just proceed to die each time we are making a play somewhere else.

It's so frustrating that I have to constantly ping my team around the map while trying to track enemy JG path/camps/ULT timers.

Otherwise most games feel like flips.

Plat

I am trying to learn Camille support, and I have been trying the champ on normal games.

My questions is should I E2 to fog of war trying to predict it to land? is it part of camille support's identityto try to land E2 in such situations?

Gold/Plat

Enemy comp is: Sett, Briar, Locke, Yunara, Lulu
Our Comp was: Mordkaiser, BlueKayn, Annie, Draven, Morgana

Morgana(Exhaust)/Draven(Barrier) VS Yunara(Cleanse)/Lulu(Heal)

Do you think it's wrong to go PTA here? (instead of say, lethal tempo?)

gold/plat

From experience playing in this elo. Top/Mid only want Last Pick because they don't want to be counter picked. But I think not having the champ pool to counter pick your enemy Top/Mid when you are given Last Pick is such a waste.

Often time than not you might give Last Pick to your Top/Mid in gold/plat and they may end up counter picking themselves regardless.

If Support players picks are inconsequential to the game then why doesn't riot just lock support to First Pick?

My champ pool is: Sylas/Rell/Morgana/Pantheon/Vi/Leona/Seraphine/Swain/Karma/Lulu/Milio [---------] in order of frequency. And I try to pick based on matchup and synergy.

I give Last Pick only when enemy Support/JG/Mid has already picked (giving me a good idea what champion to choose to win)

I had made a post and I was told that I should have picked Alistar in this comp.

Do you think Alistar will work here?

Enemy comp is: Trynadamere, Master Yi, Veigar, Jinx, Serpaphine
Our Comp was: Nasus, Hecarim, Katarina. Aphelious, Support Alistar

I had made a post and I was told that I should have picked Nautilus in this comp.

Do you think Nautilus will work here?

Enemy comp is: Trynadamere, Master Yi, Veigar, Jinx, Serpaphine
Our Comp was: Nasus, Hecarim, Katarina. Aphelious, Support Nautilus

I want to understand support champion identities and how they interact with adc champions identities.

Like how are supports like:

Pantheon and Rell:
good against:
-Ashe, Jhin, Jinx and mage apc

bad against:
-Caitlin, Corki, Ezrael

while supports like:

Nautilus:
good against:
-Caitlin, Corki, Ezrael

bad against:
-Mage apc

I know this is not the full picture (I got this data from matchup sites)

gold/plat support.

I just don't know the identity of Karma and how to play her.
Is she comp reliant? I mean her combos are telegraphed so it doesn't take much skill.

I usually dominate in lane but in teamfights I just feel useless.

I usually play behind the jg/top and cover for them. And I am starting to question whether karma plays better with an ADC alongside her so that karma would help keep the frontline alive while the ADC safely ramp up the damage.

Is this the identity of karma? keeping the frontline alive while allowing the ADC to do damage longer?

Is she better paired with a real tank? is a fighter champion not tanky enough?

My niece is looking to start 1st year in university as a civil engineer.

And her parents were looking to buy her a laptop, so I was wondering which specs are good enough (no need for overkill)

Ps: their budget is like 1000 euro

For a family relative, they said their budget is 5 mil which I find bogus and unrealistic.

What specs would pass?

Using emotional rhetoric to influence political discourse, to masquerade different failures of the systems that should have helped quench these last forest fires.

Is evident proof of the blatant attempts at fooling us.

We don care about hanging arsonists. (Especially how dangerous it may lead to scapegoating innocent people like Djamal Ismail, yeah I said it)

What we care about is the decade long practices that lead to lack of competence within the bodies responsible for dealing with forest fires.
