Think the ranged Top meta is cancer?

Try being a melee Support vs a Mage or so called "Enchanter" who still hits like a truck... ++TLD

What "ranged top meta" are you talking about.

Out of 5 most popular toplaners, 1 is ranged. Out of 30 most popular, 5 are ranged.

Just because ranged toplaners are pain to deal with doesn't mean we have "ranged top meta" in any way.

I am having 0 trouble dominating with Taric this patch. Perhaps you just need to rework your runes, masteries, etc?

Agreed, makes it hard to even use Supports like Nautilus Braum Leona Shen without having to play super fucking passive for a good part of the game simply due to being harassed in lane.

true, i like the idea of them having more Base HP and it scaling a bit more than other champs as they are melee. they NEED the extra durability to survive, and really. I hate the fact that you have turtle and defensive until you get some tankyness.

Getting hit by a AA Q powercord TLD from sona is ridiculous, it's like 300+ damage

Neko CaitlynNov 23, 20161 votes

And then after that she does nothing.

MarshbouyNov 23, 20163 votes

except for her 3 other abilities. 2 at the least.

Neko CaitlynNov 23, 20161 votes

None of which do any damage. Unless she ults you to poke.

MarshbouyNov 23, 20165 votes

Because the game is all about damage, right,

Damage is important, but so are MS buffs and heals+shields.

Neko CaitlynNov 23, 20162 votes

Then you land a grab as Blitz and autowin the lane.

Blitzcrank : That feel when you hook Sona and she dies so fast you thought you hooked a caster minion by mistake.

Neko CaitlynNov 23, 20161 votes

This. I love when my support takes Leona Alistar Blitzcrank and the other team has a useless squishy ranged because I know Ive won the lane for free.

leave bard alone

Legacy HydralphaNov 23, 20161 votes

Please don't tell me you think Bard is mage/"enchanter" or something like that. He's a utility support with his primary builds being support (utility) and tank, while there is an AP build.

I wont lie, ive played Kayle top countless times and ill admit its unfair for my enemies because of the range difference, AOE, and general damage output. As for bottom lane, i think Sona needs to be looked at because she excels at healing and shielding while also having insane mobility and AP. Sona has the heals of Soraka , the shields of Janna , Damage of Veigar , and mobility of Kled 's ult. She has the best of like 4 worlds.

I mean, you only take Brand for kill pressure and snowball, not for supporting.

item 3302 > item 3301 > item 3303 >

thats the basic rock paper scissors of the item

then ofc your personall skill comes into play.

yes a item 3301 on champs like Leona Braum Nautilus Blitzcrank really isnt such a bad idea. the sustain on the item you get from minions dying next to you is quite substantial.
