There is no "rightful champion" for support. It's why Brand, and Vel can do it, even though they need gold to be even slightly useful. Poppy can go bot too. All you need for the support role is some form of easy cc, or in a lot of cases, the ability to blow shit up.

>>
>>384549507
I could ask a similar question and I'm struggling to get past plat 3. I suspect that in my case the answer is to take my early leads and use them to give my dummy teammates a lead before their lanes spiral out of control. Maybe the answer is the same for you. One thing I can say is that any time you feel 'obligated' to sit and defend the top turret even though you're ahead and you feel like you could be doing stuff elsewhere on the map, just leave top and go do that stuff. It's important to your team that you show up (unless you're playing a great split pusher). Tell some guy who is behind to go get the farm up top and if he won't do it then just let those turrets fall. Never fall into the trap of holding top lane forever while your team gets crushed 4v4 elsewhere.

Then dont whine about losing when you're a huge contributing factor. The meta is the meta for a reason, and that is because it is what works.

There is a place for people who think like you and thats bronze and silver elo.
>>
>>384550001
This guy has it right.

The problem is you can't do anything if all 4 members of your team do not do these things.

i straight up had an adc feed because i was getting kills and he wasn't'. still tied the enemy team for kills and got fed myself, but lost. you are fucked for playing the game at all. mongoloids and complete wastes of space are half the player base.
>>
>>384553696
incorrect.
I did better job than my adc that match, talking about damage.I tanked tons of damage in fights,i made our yasuo ult on all 5 of the enemy team.I dont always build damage on wukong support,but when i do its because my adc sucks.

When you stop thinking like this you will ride in rank. Wukong is an extremely bad support choice and had you picked an actual support and played well, your team would have been far better off. Im actually a support main so you're not going to win this argument.

Let me tell you what is wrong with playing a standard support.Is it a healer support? they will focus you in fights, i picked sona recently and if the whole enemy team didnt focus me,we could have win that match.What about classic tank supports?they are fat as fuck,slow,immobile,0 damage.What about wukong?can tank damage without getting damaged,deals decent damage,and mobile.

>>384554157
You clearly belong where you are. Supports like Sona and Soraka have the highest winrates now so obviously a majority of players dont have your positioning problems.
>>
>>384554097
also ghost is pretty useful as darius,garen and illaoi, since they are immobile asf and wont be able to catch an enemy,or run from an enemy

>people on /v/ play this casual normie cancer

>>384554157
Could you have positioned better as sona? You aren't a tank. If you're that valuable to your team then you need to stay farther back and make them come to you through your team.

>>384554404
Wukong is a good pick in certain team comps and very bad in others. You picking him every game in every position is just you telling us how terrible of a player you are. Im honestly surprised you made it out of bronze even though a retarded baby could do it.
>>
>>384554464
if you have ever been to silver or bronze you know that you wont be climbing with support champions since every single silver v player is like "this is my first season , i played my placement matches and got silver v eve tho i suck"

>>384554560
Just play support velkoz or brand. Do 75% of your team's damage and collect your win.
>>
>>384554716
No one said to play Sona, but playing a support champion when you're assigned the support role is pretty good advice if you want to win more games. I dont know why you are acting like youre being attacked.

Gonna go play some classic support champions and going to get brand 2-3 matcher afterwards , i'll inform you faggots about the support match

>>384549507
The biggest mistake i see in lower elo is arrogance. Players go for kills over objectives then end up losing towers/drake/baron. You can be a good player in bronze/silver but you'll never win if you're a cocky nigger that jacks off to their kda or if you have those players on your team. If you see some fuckhead trying to tower dive for a 1-1 then that's your red flag.

The game is extremely simplified and sterile, there's only one team comp and lane layout you're allowed to play, all the champions are shoehorned into a specific role via their design, the itemization is all passive and dull, Riot is a super cunty company with loads of shady background and unprofessionalism, and the "give us money or grind for years" business model is just offensive

Wow.

Btw if you're reading this start redemption, and then ardent censer. You'll want redemption first because you got a Zac. Throw it in the middle of the teamfight to help engage when he jumps in. Ardent is to help your caitlyn.
>>
>>384554716
>sona has a higher winrate
>this doesn't mean it is a better pick
No, but it is arguably the most likely explanation. It's certainly the simplest explanation. Sona has a high win rate as support. Wukong has a low win rate as support (I actually dont' know this because the data is probably sparse but I'd bet on it.) It could be that people just aren't playing it right. Sometimes that's true and finding that out is how the meta shifts. Usually it's just false. Given that wukong has relatively low base numbers with great scaling and no good way to help his adc pre-6 due to his weak early game, I don't see how he does anything as well or better than more common supports.
>>
>>384555319
>You mean Like Dota?
Nope, the game has nothing even close to LoL's forced lane meta

>You mean like Dota?
Nope, heroes aren't designed into any specific role and their multiple playstyles are figured out by players

Yeah, like the one or two non-actives in the average dota inventory versus the 5 or 6 non-actives in the average LoL inventory

>>384555246
In lol, time and effort spent trying to improve your performance in the game results in measurable improvement in your performance relative to other players. That can't happen in a casual game. Casual games must have a low skill ceiling so that "casual" players can play the game as fully as it can be played with minimal effort. The fact that players can't get out of bronze, or silver, or what ever rank and that better players can easily point out why suggests that the game is not shallow. You can accuse lol of having unfun design choices but not of being casual.

>>
>>384555616
>Please stop trying to criticize games you know nothing about
Pff okay.

>Nope, the game has nothing even close to LoL's forced lane meta
Yes it does, or do you think tri lane somehow invalidates this.

>Nope, heroes aren't designed into any specific role and their multiple playstyles are figured out by players
Take Dazzling,CM, or Lina into the jungle. See how well you do.

>Yeah, like the one or two non-actives in the average dota inventory versus the 5 or 6 non-actives in the average LoL inventory

That depends largely on the champ you play. Bloddseeker has less active items than Lina. Medusa has less than OD.

Perhaps you should take your own advice.
>>
>>384555736
>In lol, time and effort spent trying to improve your performance in the game results in measurable improvement in your performance relative to other players.
This happens in every game that's actually a game. That has nothing to do with whether or not it's casual.
The speed at which you can progress and the amount of effort it takes is where the levels of casual shows, and LoL is much faster with this stuff and requires less focus and learning than other comparable competitive games. Only having to learn one core strategy is a big contributor.

>>384555901
>Yes it does, or do you think tri lane somehow invalidates this.
No it doesn't.
Even if I was specifically talking about trilanes, that's already twice as many lane comps as LoL has. If you've ever actually watched or played dota in your life you'd know it doesn't have a rigid lane layout or team comp meta like LoL does.

>Take Dazzling,CM, or Lina into the jungle. See how well you do.
Saying the roles are more fluid and are determined by the players instead of the devs doesn't mean literally anything works. Please learn to read.

>That depends largely on the champ you play. Bloddseeker has less active items than Lina. Medusa has less than OD.
And, like I said, the average is far higher than in LoL. The game has a much higher count of active items and more of them are regularly used. Most of the boots are actives for fuck's sake.

I reiterate, please stop trying to criticize games you know nothing about.
>>
>>384555958
It doesn't happen in a game that is dependent on rng or is pay to win. Those are casual games. Getting good at lol is extremely difficult and if you're one of the gifted few that think it's easy AND therefore think it's easy for everyone else, then you're extremely lacking in perspective. It's not even slightly fair to call lol casual.

OP I'm watching, and first thing you started W on Raka. Startint with Q is usually better, your level 1 trade potential is unmatched between supports and you can get some nice damage in with Q + Autos. It leads into you getting control of the lane earlier.

Your runes are pretty much full AP, 36 AP on runes is kinda overdoing it for Soraka. Her AP scaling is crap. 15-20 AP and resistances is fine. If you ant more damage, opt for Magic penetration reds instead. I usually go for 17 armor, 15 AP and scaling CDR blues though but that's just me.

I also don't really like refillable potion. I usually like having the third potion first because potions are not that good after your first back.

DON'T GET the completed coin item for Soraka. At least not before the plus healing ones. Soraka doesn't really want any of the stats from completed coin, she's meant to heal and coin doesn't help with that. You should focus on your healing.
Upgrade coin to the second tier and Get Redemption or ardent censer first, Mikael's Crucible first if they have too much CC. Each Forbidden Idol item that you complete is a power spike for you because it increases your healing ability. I usually go redemption > ardent censer > mikael's. I buy redemption and then the next forbidden idol - ALWAYS get the forbidden idols first, they give you +8% in healing. For example for Redemption you bought the other part first, always get forbidden idol.

These are my tips for you. I'm a diamond Soraka main. Literally only play the goat goddess. Wish you best of luck.

I feel the argument you're making is similar to saying that go is harder to master than chess, therefore chess is casual. I don't think the degree of separation between lol and dota or whatever is sufficient to make lol casual by any meaningful definition. It's possible to not like the game but acknowledge that it takes reasonable effort to master.

>Even if I was specifically talking about trilanes, that's already twice as many lane comps as LoL has.
It's still a 1/1/1/2 meta, and tri lane is pick to hard counter, nothing more.

>Saying the roles are more fluid
Mid laners can go top or bot in leauge (Ken, Ziggs) Top laners can go Jung (Voli, Lee) Bot laners can go top (Vayne, Quinn) or jung (Graves Twitch) There is role fluidity in LoL, but you wouldn't know because you don't play.

>And, like I said, the average is far higher than in LoL.
The average may be higher, but it still depends on the champions played. And it's not like you can't get actives in Lol either, because once again, it still depends on the champions played.

What champs/roles do you main OP?
I kinda skimmed through the thread, but it seems like you play Top/Supp.
>>
>>384549507
try to play characters that snowball such as Annie or Akali, Master Yi etc

if you play well every game then it's a 20% less chance for your team to have a feeder so given a high enough number of games then you will be at your true MMR

seriously though; best advice I can give you (been Diamond since 2013, haven't put time in to seriously climb past that each year) is to forget about winning, and forget about what your team is doing. Play with them to win, sure, but don't worry about your mid laner who fed blue buff and has 19 cs at 10 minutes. Focus only on playing your best and *improving* every game while analyzing your mistakes and shortcomings. To improve is to gain elo. Mindset is the most important thing in getting good at anything you do

>It's still a 1/1/1/2 meta
No it isn't you drooling retard. Even at pro level, Dota regularly has 1/1/2/jung, 2/1/1/jung, 2/1/2, 3/1/1, 1/1/3. LoL is strictly ONLY 1/1/2/jung, and when anything else rotates into viability Riot nerfs it out. Pic related, Riot themselves tells us I'm right.
Dota doesn't have LoL's forced meta bullshit. Like I keep telling you, you have no clue what you're talking about.

>Mid laners can go top or bot in leauge (Ken, Ziggs) Top laners can go Jung (Voli, Lee) Bot laners can go top (Vayne, Quinn) or jung (Graves Twitch)
These are specific cherrypicked examples where it works because the character is similar enough to the other forced role to fit in. Graves also doesn't count because he's just a jungler now. This doesn't mean the roles are fluid, it means some characters are similar enough to other forced roles to plug into the forced slots. On top of that, half the time this happens Riot nerfs it out of relevancy because it's "not how the character is supposed to be played." Remember mid lulu? Top soraka?
You can send Quinn, an ADC, top because she fits into the forced top role well, not because the meta regularly allows ADCs to go top. In Dota you can put almost anyone anywhere because you build your own comp and strategy instead of plugging into one.

>The average may be higher
Yeah, and the average is what counts. And the reason is because this-
>but it still depends on the champions played
Is a fallacy called "cherrypicking."

Please stop trying to criticize games you know nothing about.

if you want to get out of silver, you can't play characters like soraka

also, Garen seems to be the biggest threat on their team so I would focus him too over the Lucian, given that Garen is also a frontline champ

You have to accept that you aren't good and a lot of what you "know" is false if you want to become highly skilled at the game

You have to abandon ego and focus on your mindset too

>>384560112
she doesn't have a lot of playmaking ability and relies on supplementing your allies' plays and decisions

you want a character that can make their own plays and influence the game in a proactive; aggressive way if you want to carry reliably in low elo
>>
>>384559482
Why would you buy Iron solari?
For a 100hp shield on your shitty almost no HP build?

Dude if you want to get out of silver don't play supp or play an aggressive support that can get your ADC fed like Leona, Thresh, Braum, Rakkan and if you are not a shitter Sion in all lanes.

Learn to last hit, learn to counter your enemies and really learn the micro of your champion pool.
Don't try to be a fag and main Zed in silver and gold, play easier champs that can hard carry the game or have massive amounts of utility in their kit.

Stuff like Pantheon or Amumu.

Also learn to go for objectives, that's something silvers never do. The way the game is designed right now, most matches should be over after the 20 minute mark with Rift Herald and Baron.
>>384560186
Because his new W gives him 70% reduced damage for 0.75 seconds and with that crit build, it gives him like 2 free spins plus a Q to completely melt the carries and still have the 30% reduced damage for 3 seconds.

>>
>>384560437
He's not telling you to play hyper carries, he's telling you to play aggressive instead of passive and Soraka is a backline mommy and without a good carry she's useless.
Actually, if anyone takes ignite, morellos, thornmail, executioner calling or whatever item that gives grievous wounds you are useless.
Don't play Soraka. Play a tank support instead and peel.

>>384554267
What works in bronze doesn't necessarily work in high silver and above. I have played with and against bronzies and they're the most retarded people I've ever met. You could climb out of bronze playing critgoat toplane, that doesn't mean it's a good strat.

>>384553483
>i stay behind my adc until level 3
>what is lane presence
Botlane is usually decided by the lvl2 all-in. You're useless for the first few minutes. Play an actual support.
>>
>>384560521
To be fair, Morello's only reduces healing when the target is below 35% health.
>>
>>384560497
I think last week.
Also Garen AD has been a real thing since his E can crit from like last year and now that it also shreds 25% armor is even better.

To be fair, it still gives grievous wounds and is mostly built on mages and AP assassins that 1shot enemies so it negates Soraka's cucking healing.

nah I was actually telling him to play a carry champ

you can play a mean thresh but the effectiveness of your plays is seriously diminished in low elo because your team can't respond as well

if you're deadset on playing support; I highly recommend any mage support really

Zyra, Annie, Brand, Karma come to mind
>>
>>384560687
sure, since playing soraka requires me to act like a fuccboi
>>
OP
If you want to climb out of bronze/silver/gold then you need to get good with champions that have global presence.
I reccomend :

Top : Shen
Mid: karthus/twisted fate
Jungle : nocturne, Evelyn, gragas.
ADC : caitlin, miss fortune
Support: soraka, Janna, nami, Leona

There's champions have nice global pressure, immense pressure in a teamfight or can help save yo'dumbass team mates plays.

You climb in low elo by turning bad situations into good ones

>>384560574
>Botlane is usually decided by the lvl2 all-in. You're useless for the first few minutes. Play an actual support.
This is why kill lanes like Yasuo bot sometimes work.
Also if the enemy support is heavy on CC like Leona or Braum I doubt you can do anything to kill their ADC, specially if they run exhaust instead of ignite.

>>384560970
No, I very clearly meant to tell him to play a mage if he's going to play support. You can do perfectly fine against those characters. It's honestly pointless to argue with you because your understanding of the game seems to be subpar.
>>
>>384561106
The point behind champ like karthus is because the number of times the botlane give a double and their botlane has a sliver of health and all you have to do is press r to even the playing field once again whilst farming safely in your lane using q,

Similar principal to Shen, soraka protecting dumbass toplane from a dive etc
>>
>>384561201
...

Is jungle leona a thing again?
>>
>>384560809
>shen
Requires judgement to use his ult. Too many people use it to bail out a teammate who walks into a dumb 2v1. He could just play malphite top and be useful no matter how far behind he is.
>twisted fate
I don't want to say tf is too hard, but the learning process is hilarious. I think at lower elo sitting in lane farming like karthus does is a fine way to climb, but as you climb it becomes more important to get off your ass and kill or chase away your lane opponent, then head bottom and get them fed. Karthus isn't a bad pick though.
>jungle
I would recommend rammus and warwick myself but I think those champs are ok too.
>adc
Not gonna lie, I wouldn't play adc to climb unless op is good at crushing his opponent bot.

No, clears are too hard, specially raptors.
Once you get your cinderhulk shit gets easier but it's never a good clear.
Also her ganks are hard to pull off pre 6 and most of the time the damage will be lacking.
Out of all the Leona I've played, in every role and lane, jungle is the worst probably followed by mid unless you get camped by your jungle.

Follow a streamer that plays top like Solo Renekton Only, he has great videos where he talks about lane manipulation and he has a lot of tips to share in top.

Bruh. I'm not talking about chances. Actual decisions that you make when you're way stronger or way weaker can sway a game completely. Sure, if you have 20 kills you can faceroll and what items you pick don't even matter anymore. But usually it's not that dramatic. All it takes is a well timed ulti from a strong team fight champ like malph (mentioned in this thread), fiddle, lyssandra, etc. to dominate a match.

(Cont.)
Most toplaners have their power spike at 20mn. Even if you're not winning your lane but you still got the crucial item that gives you this power spike, ask for your team to come mid at 20. I don't really know if that's something that can be done in silver tho.
I can tell you that with kennen, as soon as I got my void staff I'd ask for a teamfight cause if you get it under the 23mn mark, it's most likely gonna be a bloodbath.

Now it just sounds like you guys are making excuses. It's more likely that your team helps leash (and so would also defend against invades) than the other team invades. And if the other team DOES invade, you GO TO THEIR BLUE. Not rocket science.

>>384564125
Tell that bitch to freeze lane when you're zoning them like that.
>>
>>384564125
You won lane, went mid, nothing to do there, went in their jungle, and didn't ward it. Big mistake. Ward the bushes adjacent to their raptors for maximum vision. That's a big part of your job as support and when you have that kind of freedom to roam the map early you need to take advantage of it.
>>
>>384565247
I'm not that guy, I just say that it can be hard to prevent an invade to your blue if that were to happen

If anyone is still here can I get some advice in winning more?

Play Draven, Xayah, Caitlin or Jhin.
>>
>>384564125
Waving your dick in their face mid 4v5 bad idea.

They hit the vision thing to check baron after they left your mid turret so you should expect baron soon. You went bottom side of the map instead. Start warding up around baron when there's a danger of the other team doing it.
>>
>>384565764
That's true but I can't stand playing Twitch, Draven or Caitlyn. Anything else I can focus on if I play slightly off meta adc?

Don't complain then and get good with your offmeta champs.

I seriously do not understand how people can be bad at games. I literally got 2 bronze accounts to gold(friend's accounts for skins) just by spamming kennen last season

Just look for a playstyle that you're comfortable with and feels like it has a decent chance of giving you wins. This shit applies to everything
>fighting games? spam hadoukens
>fps? camp
>rts? lol that genre is dead
It wont guarantee a 100% winrate but getting comfortable with it increases the chances

You might just be too stupid to climb out of silver.
>>
Bronze is simple to climb out of. Literally just don't feed and you're in silver

Silver through plat is much more frustrating.

Personal skill accounts for about 60% of silver and gold ranking up.

A good 40% of your games are just unwinnable and the match is decided by whover but the feeders, afk or trolls.

You will always get games with 1/8 teammates. Just accept the loss and try again

I can't stress enough that simply not feeding is the most important factor to ranking up.

Silvers and golds only play for kills, so they get frustrated when someone starts outfarming them and they try to force it and make mistakes.

Anything over 3 deaths for a sub 40 minute game is too much in silver. Play for your KDA

Also, if you're really serious about ranking up, then turn off all chat and just insta mute anyone who starts popping off. You just tilt yourself more by arguing
>>
>>384564125
Buy pink wards. Put them down.
>>
>>384564125
You gave a fight when your team wasn't close enough to assist you at baron. You also did it while yi was split pushing. You have to be more careful of knowing how close your team is before you take a fight.
>>
>>384549507
Play Leblanc mid and roam a lot
>>
>>384564125
You walked up to baron with malph and ryze and you didn't ward. Again. You bought a sightstone and you never use it.
>>
>>384566076
Silver is super easy to get out of.
Just play for baron and rush inhib, since retards always fight off tower and die to baron/elder dragon buffs.

Jungle is a very good role to main in silver.

Gold gets a bit trickier but it's mostly the same, just try to carry the game and get the best/second best player in your game fed, team fights and objetives win games in gold.

Plat is wave management and laning.

Diamond is team comps, OTP and hard carrying.
Never reached masters.

Aside from CS, which you should always work on til you're perfect, work on trading efficiently when you're stronger or their short term CDs are down, and realise when not to trade and just CS or soak xp safely til you can get a numbers advantage.

After your ryze died mid you tried to 1v5 the other team. Varg says: don't do that.

>>384564125
At baron you stood in miss fortune's ult while you were trying to kill her. You were right at the edge of it. That's a mechanical problem that's easy to fix.

Look dude, just play jungle and one trick amumu to gold.

You know what dude, just fuck you.
You deserve silver. Stay there.

Here is what you should fix in your laning:
>go and guard your jungle instead of going to lane and standing next to turret until jungle spawns
>stop wasting wards early in river before the enemy jungle could finish his route (before 4 mins or so)
>start your combo with e or w but mostly e, NEVER start with q especially as a support, q is your only cc and makes your w hit easier
>learn some map awereness after the 6th gank from Annie
>stop playing first time Brand on ranked
>stop warding river bush from red side when you are pushed in by 30 minions (because you WILL take damage and the enemy can easily kill you)
And there are other situational stuff you fail to notice, for example when you fought Annie at drake around 18th min you took her hp down to 500ish but didn't use your ult because you thought it'd be a waste on a single target BUT her Tibbers was standing next to her so your ult would've bounces between the 2 of them effectively granting you a kill
Your biggest mistake in this game was never properly using your combo and missing a lot of kills and dying because of that

Stopped watching when the laning was over so I have no idea whether you won or lost

OKAY OKAY, SORRY IM GOING IN AS AMUMU RIGHT THIS MATCH , QUEUEING RN

Go Cinderhulk, Rilay, Liandry and itemize tank for enemy comps. mostly against their carry.
Finish boots after rilay.

Lessons to learn from this game:
Early game if you are zoning the opponent tell your adc to last hit only and not push. Once you have like a bf sword and enough damage to take a turret in a reasonable amount of time then you can push.

Expect the four man gank. You guys killed amumu then you face checked the annie bush. Expect the four man gank. When you saw mid missing you should have assumed she was up your ass if you had no further information. Expect it, seriously. It's essential to succeeding bottom lane.

Look up a warding guide for supports. You need to ward more. You need to buy a pink when you back if you don't have one up. Sometimes you also need to buy one if you do. You didn't just buy that sightstone for decoration. Use it.

There comes a point in the game, pretty much after laning phase, where you can't be in the front line as brand. If you had wards up then yeah maybe you can do a pick off. But you were getting impatient and trying to initiate fights yourself. You can't do that, especially with a malphite and wukong on your team. You need to be way more patient and play like a pussy. I want you to look at that replay in the cold light of morning and take note of how your team wasn't really in a position to help you when you took some of those fights.

The last mistake of the game belongs to your wukong and malphite, but you made your share of mistakes. I think if you warded those bushes in their jungle with 3 wards after you took your turret, you would have seen them coming and your team could have responded intelligently and not thrown the dragon fight. It's a different game then.
>>
>>384567047
A single baron can't win a game in silver elo so you weren't doing that good I reckon
>>
>>384567120
i couldve bet my whole life if we had that baron we'd win
>>
>>384567067
>But you were getting impatient and trying to initiate fights yourself
I want to emphasize that you were trying to do this without vision. The not warding thing and the taking bad fights things are interrelated. If you have vision you can make better judgements about when to fight.

Also, you didn't upgrade your scanner trinket. You could have been flushing out wards around baron or in your jungle and warding yourself. That gives your team a huge advantage.

Well yeah, now we are back at blaming others (even if rightfully) and completely ignoring the part where I criticised your playing style and pointed out mistakes
You could've carried, you had the potential, but you were mediocre, better yourself and you will win and climb
>>
>>384567382
ok, you are pretty correct i usually forgot to ward and didnt take out wards most of the time im sorry,i'll try better next time.
>>
>>384567297
That's a strong lane though.
Stop being a shitter and camp then, they have CC and burst.
>>
>>384549507
>How do i rank up if i get a team full of shitheads every match?

You don't

Lol is a trash game in a way that its WAY TOO EASY to make a negative impact on the game than it is to make positive one.

If the enemy is not shit you barely ever are able to gank a lane, be it as a jungler, mid, top or support. so unless your teammates win their lane or at least break even you lost.

>>384553027
>wukong support is pretty nice at damage

No he is fucking not you retard, he still requires a lot of gold. If you want to deal damage as support you pick zyra or brand. Wukong is a melee bruiser with no CC, how the fuck do you expect to be able to do anything in bottom lane?

>>384553483
> i stay behind my adc until level 3

Ok, i give up
>>
How do you stop the faggits in your silver teams playing AP Udry or some shit.
>>
>>384567504
>If the enemy is not shit you barely ever are able to gank a lane,
That's when you counterjungle and counter gank. Git gud.
>>
>>384567472
And watch your combo as Brand
Every skill has a secondary effect after they are ablaze
>q stun
>w extra damage
>e set nearby enemies ablaze
E's secondary is pretty useless so that's why you always start with it to trigger blaze then use q to stun and w to deal extra damage

So again, this is your combo: e -> q -> w -> r
>>
>>384567472
5 pink wards cost 375 gold. That's less than an amp tome. 5 pink wards make a hell of a lot more difference in a game than an amp tome.
>>
>>384550527
you still died 10 fucking times. thats a lot of gold and exp you gave to the enemy.

Practice Amumu or a tank supp instead

amumu in jungle or as support?

Jungle
If you want to play something similar botlane, play Nautilus.

veigar can be pretty good, he gets an ability power point for each hit on an enemy champion so if you poke while your adc farms you're good

Imagine you're in a game. It's about 25 minutes in. You win a teamfight. What do you do? If you said "push minions to a turret and take said turret" then you are correct. If you said "kill the wolves I'm standing next to" then you'll never get out of bronze.
