Neglected common knowledge
- Just because the support doesn't have a Sightstone doesn't mean they aren't warding.
- Sightstone or no, the ward limit is still three.
- Don't order the support to deep ward, and then yell at them if they get caught two seconds in.
- Full melee champions can't poke. Period.
- Death is the hardest crowd control, but it's also the hardest one to apply.
- Thresh gets stronger from souls. Let him get to the big crowd of minions first before you blow it up.
- You get gold from the Relic Shield, too.
- Mages should be taking care of the siege minions.
- Surrender at 20 or don't, but with five minutes to go, still, you might as well make an effort.
- You, too, can apply stacks to Braum's passive.
- You're killing enemy champions to open up objectives. They're a means to an end, not the end to itself.
- The AD guy should focus the turrets.
- There's no such thing as kill-stealing in a teamfight.
- An assist is still a modest sum of gold.
- A death given on both sides in a 1v5 just offered the equivalent of three kills to their team.
- If you were fed, four kills.
- Your champions' win rate is not YOUR win rate with that champion.
- Your 12/0 kill streak last game means nothing in this one.
- Rank is not an absolutely direct indication of skill.
- Never dive a Blitz or Thresh.
- Never dive a Morgana.
- Ideally, the ward mule and ward buster should not be the same person.
- The ward buster should have greater than average attack speed so they can smash and run.
- The support is usually just poking to farm spellthief's edge and maybe their mastery passive. It's not the signal to dive in.
- Trinkets can be upgraded for a pittance.
- With diligent and frequent warding, you can cap out on ward placement with the Greater Stealth Totem ALONE.
- Was it so wise to go 5 AD against Taric? Even with armor pen, you're going to have a rough time.
- The small nerfs to your favorite champion didn't ruin him.
- Leash the jungler. It's an investment to the security of your own lane. He's going to remember whether you did or not.
- Telepathy is still not a thing. Call your roles.
- Call your roles early. Ten seconds before the deadline is not acceptable.
- Twenty seconds is not acceptable.
- Thirty seconds is not acceptable.
- You aren't impressing anyone by autolocking.
- Three people just autolocked for the same lane? You have 80 seconds to compromise.
- You should have a sizable list of champions you're skilled with, just in case they ban or pick Yasuo.
- Last pick is just as coveted as first pick. You can see what everyone has selected, and no one is left to counter pick you.
- Holding the game hostage, aka "mid or feed", is juvenile and grounds for reporting. Don't do it, even in jest.
- If the same dragon has been warded three times, it's time to take it. Don't save it for later; that's when the enemy plans to take it.
- If the line of scrimmage is up against the enemy turret, get some hits in.
- If the line of scrimmage is up against your turret, all bets are off; the support is going to take a few minions.
- Thresh is retreating from the line, but a smart Thresh has his lantern ready to give you a head start back to your turret. Keep smashing theirs.
- Your chat ban after your last game isn't because of your behavior for THAT game; it's for a consistent pattern of misbehavior across several others.
- Unless they're Pantheon, Sion, Twisted Fate or they have teleport, a jungler on the other half of the map or dead won't be ganking you any time soon. Keep your wards ready for when you CAN'T see where they are.
- Just because Ezreal, Ashe and Jinx have a global ult doesn't mean they should constantly fire it to the opposite end of the map.
- Especially if it's parallel to the lanes.
- Especially if you keep missing.
- Stand behind Braum.
- Especially if there's an enemy Ezreal, Ashe or Jinx.
- Especially if you're low on health.
- Let him take a few minions to heal you.
- Don't pursue Singed.
- Especially if he has Liandri's Torment.
- If there's an enemy Teemo, stand two or three minions behind the one in front.
- For all we know, your "smurf" is actually your main account.
- It doesn't matter what name you just gave me. I have no way to verify that.
- Nor do I care to.
There will be more later, but this is all I can think of for now.
that rushed
that 0/8 adc 0/8 supp
and wth are you heat skeeing with the intent to steal every ounce of gold im working for needlessly taking kills and last hitting minons out of spite
main and I refuse to listen to this. Can't tell you how many times I have been off farming and I get ganked by four people. I usually get one, sometimes two kills out of it, and your telling me that wasn't an even trade?
