Saturation

So I'm theorycrafting a new approach for Karma. Getting in some Norms, trying to find something good enough to take to Ranked.

Figure red/green runes so I either use E to shield myself and run up and hit with Grasp of Undying or try to proc Dark Harvest, then back off again, and rely on the speed surge to do it quickly. I had a lot of success with this in one game and it failed in another, and I want to tighten up the rune selection, Shield Bash and Taste of Blood are good, I'm not sure about Revitalize vs Bone Plating... I like rushing Catalyst but maybe I should try something else...

...and then Saturation sets in.

I go to start a game and think to myself...

  • "I'll queue support/jungle and get jungle 2 games in a row. Again.

  • I'll finally get support and someone will dodge and I'll be put back in the jungle.

  • I'll get support again and the jungle will beg me to swap positions.

  • And every time I jungle I'll either carry or get blamed for the loss. Or both. Heck, sometimes I get blamed for the loss when we win."

So I close the client without queueing. I can't just play the game in peace. I always have to deal with the awful, rage-inducing situation around the game.

5 dodges in a row. People bickering in select. Someone mad at my rune choices. Pings, pings, pings. Eat a light binding, get pinged. Miss a skillshot, get pinged. Accidentally hit a creep while moving, get pinged. And the postgame bullshit that is present in 100% of games. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. We can't just talk about the game like civilized people. One team is raging at itself, or both, and trash talk, trash talk, trash talk.

How do we reduce this thick layer of crud surrounding League matches? I love to play this game.** I'm sick of everything surrounding this game.**

(That includes you jerks on the boards, who have nothing better to do than find faults in someone else's complaints.)

Well, I got into a match and it all went pretty good.

I got great performance out of my runes. Grasp dealt 900 and healed 600. Shield bash got me another 1300. Taste of blood healed 900. Revit boosted stuff by 2200. 2nd Wind gave me 1400 in total. I went with Ultimate Hunter this game, because Karma R is good.

Just Rod of Ages was enough to do work.

...

best of all, there was no dodging, no jungling, no pings, no chatter, and postgame only had a couple people complaining at each other. Good Game.

Literally just go grasp and build Iceborne into Spirit Visage into support items. You'll bully so hard early your opponent will call you a coward later in the game after he's spiraled into tilt town. You'll also support so hard, the enemy team will constantly forget that you're NOT a primary damage threat, and will continue to focus you despite you having ass loads of healing and bulk. Your Q's will still hurt so much, that they will also constantly forget that even with tank and support items, you can still gut punch a squishy character so hard that their legs stop working for the next couple seconds.
