Lots of utility, very utility score

Fulmetal·Aug 14, 2018·2 votes·12,029 views

I'm a support main and I play a lot of support champions like Braum, Thresh, Nami and Lulu. Though these champions have a lot of utility, every time I look at my stats, my utility score is very low. Also I have a pretty high KDA ratio because i have a good number of assists every game, my stats say I have very little Kill Participation. Can someone explain? Or is it just a bug? First I thought i maybe didn't use my utility enough but as Braum, Nami and Thresh I really focus on hitting my Q's, which have a lot of utility.

I have the feeling I don't really understand utility enough. If I don't, can someone eplain?

It might be the % amount of utility that you provide on your specific champion in the game compared to the % amount that said character puts out on average in your devision, I don't know. I am a near Varus one trick, and for ADC my utility score is a little above average with only one utility spell. Then again, I make a point to always keep it on cooldown/constantly look for picks, so idk.

Like I said in my reply on Olicia, above here, if you take a look at Braum's utility (my most and best played champ) he has a stun, slow and knockup. I feel like I use those a lot since every assist and kill i get either came out of his stun passive, slow Q or knockup R. Early game I'm often low on mana since I spam poke my Q, wich has very high utility. And still my utility score is extremely low

I'm a support main as well, and I found my utility numbers to be low too, though in my last 10 games I mostly played morgana / ap supports and never purchased the typical utility support items (or my interpretation of them such as redemption, solari etc), so I plan on building those more and seeing if that makes any difference.

I went to look at the highest utility champs, and a lot of people were voting Janna. But a lot of people also voted other champs and they always defended their votes with arguments like "he/she has a knockup, slow and stun". This way I had a better idea of utility, but then I thought about the champs I play a lot and found out Icould defend my champs with the same arguments, although I still have a very low utility score with every single one. Look at Braum, by far my most played champion with a 63% winrate since midseason. He has a stun passive, a heavy slow Q and a knockup R. Still my utility score is 42.1, wich is extremely low compared to the average of 84,9

I'm personally theorizing that utility has to do with vision. Compare yourselves to higher tier players, and think about why you're so much closer to them with stats- except utility. Especially for ADCs this could either be lack of farm or vision.

I main Malz. My visions score is higher than masters but my utility is way lower. I use my ult when it's up, I get Rylai’s early, and so I'm kinda in the same boat as the OP. I dont think vision score has anything to do with it though, or CC. I'm thinking buffs to your team like Shurelias is what they're after in which case I'm happy with it being low lol

As a support I focus a lot on vision and my stats say I provide my team with a relatively high amount of it, so I don't think vison has anything to do with it.

I think it has to do with crowd control.

Edit: Maybe not. Someone just said they had high utility on Yi. It's my highest score on fiddlesticks, If that helps.

I myself am a brons 1 player so pretty bad in this game and i main supp braum, morgana and leona and my utility score is higher then average.

Braum: 96,1 Morgana: 123,3 Leona: 103,8

Utility:

the state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial. "he had a poor opinion of the utility of book learning" synoniemen: usefulness, use, advantage, benefit, value, help, helpfulness, profitability, convenience, practicality, effectiveness, efficacy, avail, service, serviceableness, advantageousness;

I myself think it means how muth you usful for your team and adc. Like take damage, buff them and schield your allies. Can your allies take a kill of a ward that you placed etc etc. It are more things togetter then you think. I sacrefice my life a lot for the team or adc. Im no feeder dough!!! :) i get lots of honors!!!

Sorry the for bad english greetings

My utility is off the charts on almost all champions I play, like on avrege there is a cm gap between me and a avg chalenger player, came to this thread to see what does it all mean. I have no clue.
