Stop picking useless champions.

Zerenza··10 votes·1,953 views

You go into a ranked game, your top or jungle(i play top VERY frequently myself) so you see that the enemy team has a Morgana and a Warwick what do you pick?

  1. Master Yi
  2. Riven
  3. Yasuo
  4. A FUCKING TANK YOU NIT!

So many times, in just this week, i'm going into a game, and while i usually play top and pick a tank/juggernaut myself. If i even TRY to go mid, my jungler is usually someone with 0 jungle pressure while my top laner is a carry. Why? Why can't i play mid and get a good team comp like the enemy?

For the love of all that is holy, if your team needs a tank, if they need some engage and your top/jungle, that's your job, your support can pick it up too but because of how little gold they get they most likely won't be able to get a good tanky build going that can counter enemy damage.

Please, stop picking champions with 0 CC and 0 teamfight potential when the enemy team has A LOT of it already, and don't play jungler's who can't do anything until 6 when the enemy jungler can gank at level 2, you'll just fuck over your team.

First time I've seen someone recognize that supports don't make a good fill option on their own because of how starved for gold and XP they are. Not to mention, most of them have builds that include items that adjust for their income level and support role.

I wish this game didn't revolve so much around the jungle role.

I'm sick of jungler pressure being a huge factor in the majority of my games.

I'll get the occasional last pick Teemo "Can we get a tank?" However the majority is the pressure and how powerful an early start is in this game.

Also I usually dodge when I see a top lane Yasuo. Not worth the time. They always int on me.

I usually prefer to ban something i know i can deal with but my team can't, basically champs with little to no counterplay outside of playing safe.

So i never take the time to ban a support like Morg or Braum but every so often i do ban Morg. I just don't pioritize her.

If top lane goes tank, Yi is actually a pretty solid melee carry to place bets on due to just how insanely broken he is on items. Like, he's basically Kayle in melee form when he's rolling, minus the invincibility.

If someone had WW or Morg, if we have a top lane tank I'd def pick Yi. If not, and someone was going to be stupid by picking a carry jg...I'd still want it to be Yi.

I know youre bronze and you dont know this yet, but yi is broken

Zerenza1 votes

I know i'm bronze and i don't know this yet, but i'm bronze, if i'm bronze, everyone else with me is bronze. They don't know he's broken either and therefore, will feed and be useless.

??? how?

ItsOrval2 votes

Once he gets item 1419 and item 3153 he kills people in 3 hits. And good luck trying to hit him when he becomes invisible when he Q's at you. Tower wont save you either, beens when he Q's, he loses tower agro even when he comes out of it.

The Sword Saint2 votes

You don't hit him when he q's. You know what his q does, so you wait for him to use it and auto attack you and then you cc him and blow him up after, or let the tower do it if he was the moron who blew q that early in a dive. The tower will retarget him the instant he does damage to you after that q so unless you are sitting around push to your turret with 50 hp there's no way yi can jump on you with q and get out without taking any tower shots.

ItsOrval1 votes

Doesnt matter if you have 50 health or full health. Ive been tower dived by a master yi under tower with full health and he wins because 3 hits = I die.

The Sword Saint1 votes

Unless he was crazy fed then you're just incorrect. Even if he was crazy fed, you are looking at it wrong. it's your job to protect your tower, not your tower's job to protect you. If you know you can't hold the tower against someone, then fall back and give up the tower unless you have teammates to help you.

One does not simply run away from a Yi ult

The Sword Saint1 votes

That's called being out of position.

See, what the OP is talking about is the value of tanks and cc who can quite easily deal with this.

Faie1 votes

I know you're not Diamond and you don't know this yet, but not a single good player has problems dealing with yi

Seriously if half the solo laners/junglers below gold just played tanks/utility heros instead of lee sin/riven/panth/etc they'd probably double their elo

So true. Every game both teams are full of squishy champs. Sometimes the enemy will tank up a bit and we get crushed.

Everyone wants to 100-0 everyone sick LCS outplays but in Bronze that never happens.

You have to factor in bronze tank positioning. They will hide behind the ADC just like they do kha'zix.

Sadly a lot of people believe that Win lane = Win game, and if they win lane and lose game, they blame it on their teammates.

The majority of the time I'm far more useful that the rest of my team as Singed. They just feed so hard it doesn't matter.

idk. i've seen full lifesteal rivens tank entire teams and she has two forms of cc.

The Sword Saint1 votes

There is more than one type of team composition. Having at least one tank is ideal for a teamfighting based composition which is the easiest and most intuitive type to execute on, so I can understand why in low elo you might get frustrated by not having any tank.

However you have to work with the team composition you have and be able to recognize the tradeoffs. Your team may not have a tank but generally tanks are shit at splitpushing vs carries, so if you have a carry top laner like fiora, riven, jayce, etc. then they will be able to apply splitpush pressure all game and easily farm up their items without really being contested unless the enemy team constantly sends their strongest member or multiple people to deal with the splitpush, which gives the rest of your team an advantage in an upcoming objective fight or siege - especially if the splitpusher wards and doesn't die when the enemy responds to the split.

Your team may also be better suited for sieges by being full of traps and long range poke and waveclear, or just have really high map mobility with multiple teleports or global ults.

There's many ways to play the map, and just throwing everyone mid 5v5 into teamfights until one team loses too late in the game to respawn and defend the nexus is just one way.

If I pick Master Yi jungle, you have two jobs, pick a tanky CC team comp for me, and dont feed in lane so I can get and keep dragon control.

MasterYi item 1419 item 3153item 3006 item 3742 item 3022 item 3065 Can Penta Kill Mid/Late, and Solo Baron.

Or you can leave Master Yi to front line alone, and come cry on the boards about how he's useless because you went Teemo top etc.
