Support Illaoi

Pater GascoigneMay 18, 20172 votes

Came to say this. It's actually a lot of fun

PaquayMay 18, 20172 votes

Sounds fun. What kind of build do you use?

OceanicEyesMay 18, 20172 votes

I'll take the tanky support item/sightstone hybrid, black cleaver, Knight's Vow, spirit Visage, situational boots, and last item might be a randuins or another tanky MR item.

I'll take Stoneborn pact, and start Q, but max E. It's a lot of fun, usually do it with my friend who plays Mordekaiser.

PaquayMay 18, 20172 votes

I want to try this when I get home now, haha.

OceanicEyesMay 18, 20172 votes

It's so much fun, though it tends to push pretty hard. Fortunately with a Mordekaiser , you guys can usually 2v3 so pushing hard doesn't matter

PaquayMay 18, 20172 votes

Now I just need to find someone who will take Morde bot, haha.

mao support but not with ap and nunu support with stone born pact ardent and athene's

Yasuo bot lane is really fun, he shits on meta bot lanes if you don't fuck up during the first few levels where you're at your most vulnerable. Also, Xin Zhao and Vi supports are amazing, no one seems to realize that many AD fighters are good at being supports (go item 2303 into usual itemization for that champ).

Edit: Vayne and Caitlyn top lane, they both shit on most melee tops....hard.

meowwow7May 18, 20171 votes

or yet ali support for the yas adc and just watch the terror on their faces when you both hit lvl 6 not even the tower is going to save them

FrightningMay 18, 20171 votes

As great as that is, I find that you need a ranged support to apply zoning pressure during the early levels in order to not get harass and zoned a ton by a competent enemy duo lane. That said, having someone like Malphite jungle come gank your lane once your 6 is utter barbarity! [slayer-jinx-wink]

meowwow7May 18, 20171 votes

well that's just it alistar's passive makes you poke resistant and you have both starting with item 3302 and watch them drain tank early levels by minion executions

FrightningMay 19, 20171 votes

I understand the thinking, but I've actually played Yasuo bottom a good dozen or more times, and I've gotten the most consistently good results with Karma support, because of how much pressure she creates early on in lane. Also, I wouldn't want to delay my core items on Yasuo with item 3302 , he would get more sustain out of a item 1053 rush (which is what I do, actually).

Double relic shield is really funny with Shen + Leona . Ended up playing that combo (as the Shen ) and we stomped lane hard. Even the Leona player I was laning with was like "HOW IS THIS WORKING??!"

you haven't lived till you've seen my Anivia top or Renekton sup or adc or mid

PaquayMay 18, 20172 votes

I actually think support Anivia is a blast. Try her there sometime instead of just too.

Support Skarner. Sejauni Top. Zac Mid.

OceanicEyesMay 18, 20171 votes

Tell me more about support Skarner please

Funkin DunkinMay 19, 20172 votes

Well I main Skarner top lane. But he is definitely a lot of fun bottom lane as well. If you're playing him seriously you'll pick him to counter Braum Blitzcrank Leona Mordekaiser Sion . Granted Morde is usually the AD and Sion is an oddball pick, but both see there share bot lane. Skarner has no presence pre 6. Telling you this now. After 6 however, he is an amazing counter engage support. If your AD gets in trouble you simply go straight for their AD. You have 2 forms of hard suppression plus a slow. Essentially Skarner is the harder hitting version of Leona. You stick to the AD and 1 of 2 things usually happens. 1) The AD backs off and now its 2v1 their sup. 2) Your AD also targets their AD and the enemy dies before all of your suppression is over.

Like jhin mid And I played middlestick before it was cool

deadlychuckMay 18, 20172 votes

If you like rakan you will probably not like these.

Middlesticks Fiddlesticks AP Varus Varus

It's almost weird how many AP auto attack items there are for it being probably the smallest category of champions in the game. item 3115 item 3091 item 3146 item 3085 (yeah yeah hurricane has crit, but the on hit effectiveness is still greater than the critical effectiveness of the secondary shots because they require IE to make their secondary targets take 100% of their damage stat)

UnboundHadesMay 18, 20171 votes

I have played against ap varus and it was hell

deadlychuckMay 18, 20171 votes

Well, he's pretty easy to abuse early game, but people often underestimate the build/champion or are unfamiliar with it's strengths, weaknesses, and power spikes, that they will play into his advantage.

I've beaten yasuos mid lane, despite them having an ability that can stop literally 100% of varus's damage and the mobility to avoid his skillshots which makes up 3/5 of his kit, and account for triggering even more of his damage. In fact, i'm pretty sure i've beaten every assassin multiple times mid lane.

He tends to struggle against mages, in particular artillery mages.

Full Ap Raka (THE LATE GAME HEALS) Karma mid Caitlyn top

He said the heals. I think he means Soraka... not Rakan. Lol

UnboundHadesMay 18, 20171 votes

I shall now delete my comment I am a dumb person thank you for pointing out there is no n

PaquayMay 18, 20171 votes

Haha, I thought the same thing at first. I do think they picked a terrible name with Rakan as Soraka has long been referred to as Raka, so it just creates a little confusion.

Karma mid Caitlyn top

i hate you.

Cato LeoMay 18, 20171 votes

My favorite Off-meta pick is tank Taliyah. (Technically its somewhat a Hybrid tank-mage with Ages and Rylies, but its still off-meta.)

UnboundHadesMay 18, 20171 votes

i shall try this when i log in tomorrow

Zane ZephyrMay 18, 20171 votes

Brand/Garen/full AP malph jungle

LuminierMay 18, 20171 votes

Lifesteal Aatrox Mid tbh. You get the luxury of being expected to deal a lot of damage as a mid laner, and you actually can if you build him right and don't need to worry about being more of a tank

JaspersMay 18, 20171 votes

Until this patch, Regen Heimerdinger

Get any tank item that includes item 1006 or HP5 stat and run around like an idiot with item 3512 taking towers. Get in trouble? Just back off, hide in a bush for like 10 seconds and you are back at full health.
