Are you still a support main?

Yep. I'd say 90% of my games over the past four years have been as support, partially because I actually know how to do it but mostly because I'd rather not get whiny people yelling about roles in champion select in broken English :P

Took smite in the mid lane so it was easier to get farm.

Awesomedude88884 votes

IIRC there was a guy in Bronze IV who took smite on Jhin so he could CS between reloads.

I've built full health regen Skarner, because once I saw a Mundo healing and wanted to heal like him.

Throw Thresh lantern thinking it does damage..

I started in 2013 and thought smite was the most broken shit just looking at the numbers.

Took me many games to realize i couldn't smite champions.

Oh and another one was me trying to use teleport on minions by using the mini map (like you would with towers) to teleport, good old lock cam days.

I played using my laptop's touch pad until about level 20 because I was too cheap to buy a mouse.

DimirWaterbender2 votes

Glad I'm not the only one, haha. For me however, I did not buy a mouse until after my ranked placements. Absolute dumbest thing I ever did in this game.

I didn't play the tutorial way back in 2011 (dunno if they had it), proceeded to walk down lane as a Leona support and fed three kills before I realised we're not supposed to duel at every moment of the game.

Built two item 3009 on Ashe.

I mean, she told me to "Move swiftly!"

AngryDentist3 votes

whenever the bots got too aggressive I'd run all the way back to tower and hide until I thought it looked safe to cs again, rinse and repeat, like a scared puppy LOL

i stacked item 3072 on MissFortune

never thought about getting some attackspeed

i felt like a god though face tanking the Garen's in my games

and bragged in post game lobby how i did the most damage so i must be the best and the game is super easy etc

took me a level to finally realize i was playing vs bots . .

Maxed E on Ashe first because I thought that the more gold I got in the early game, the more useful I'd be later on.

Also, I never took pots 'till like level 20 because I thought that the expense wasn't worth it, and I'd be better off spending the 35g on items.

That cAshe build though. Build an avarice blade and maybe a philosopher's stone (both RIP) and you were set.

You're joking. I hope you're joking.

Pandemic Punch3 votes

Nope! :D They are on record. And about 1500 of them were all on locked screen hahahahahaha

Hauling Ashe2 votes

That would have gotten boring so fast for me. Amazing that you're still playing League after 2000 monotonous bot games. LOL

How anyone plays on locked screen, I will never understand. But maybe I'm just used to moving my screen because I grew up playing RTS games.

I trusted my teammates.

I wouldn't fight, ever. "Leave me alone I'm just trying to kill these minions ;-;"

Adc leblanc.

I didnt know even what an adc was.

My teammates wanted to report me, and I didnt know exactly why.

Newcomers start at high silver, this is TOXIC AS F. They should never start at this point, I screwed completely my teammate's game.

Garen mid.

Built all AD on Nidalee before I even checked her abilties, even buying 100% AD runes.

I bought RP for Azir, refunded azir, then bought him again. With RP.

And Lastly: Built Thornmail on Ashe. Oh wait...

Karthus item 3042 Dear god what was I thinking.

RavenMagus4 votes

I built Anivia item 3004 , woo

My friend told me to build a tear and he forgot to say what to upgrade it to, so I picked manamune 'cause it had a cool name, and I was used to Dota where the only damage you could buy was AD...

Dracocrash2 votes

Expected to play a balanced game.

Probably my dumbest mistake. Should've known what I was getting into :^)

Mogarl2 votes

Used locked screen. My stupidity haunts me to this day.

Skorch2 votes

Refuse to buy pots because "it gives so little HP is it even worth it" (this was when pots were cheaper too... and we had mana ones [good thing i learned before they left so that i could be sad like everyone else])

Bought champions with RP.

MkShenGreatAgain2 votes

I bought only attack speed runes when I first started thinking "Oh this is perfect, every champion will benefit from these"

Just to find out I wasted 4 months worth of IP, thanks again for the AMAZING first timer tutorials Rito :^)
