Season 9 in a nutshell

This is what's wrong with low elo right now.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE..... with today's technical/mechanical skill levels.

WTF am I as Nami almost outdpsing almost BOTH teams, doing 4-5k damage to turrets?

Why do I have almost DOUBLE the damage of a Zed?

6000 more than a WW jungler? Almost matched my adc for damage?

Why did this onslaught take 31 minutes?

For the record, other than the Zed, none of these guys were bad mechanically at playing. Lucian used my setups greatly. So did Jayce. Warwick was funneling a sustain build that did no damage but healed him. I understand that.

What I don't understand is..... if players at low elo are mechanically skilled, why were they not as active as a Nami who has half their damage in her kit ratios? I do firmly believe these guys were mechanically skilled.... but they choked.... So damn much. (literally all my deaths are Leona ulting me and then Neeko running past my team to kill me. That's how passive to react they were)

I firmly believe this is happening simply because Riot is focusing on a .5 second reaction game where the learning/skill curve of most players outside of Diamond + is throttled down to 1.5-2 Second reaction times. I'm a .5 Second player. None of these guys are. Even Jayce maybe was a .75 second player.

The saddest part is that your support was somehow so uninvolved that they had lower healing than a WW who only did 13k damage, and the enemy's Pantheon almost matched her.

Considering the damage to turrets, sounds like the name was spending too much time pretending Nami is a splitpusher and not enough helping the team.

  1. I am Nami, and if you notice I was literally 9300 heals to allies and 2300 shields. How long do you think it takes Aery to accumulate 2300 shields? Oh right....

  2. Junglers always have flawed damage healed numbers, because it includes damage healed from item 1039 item 1041 , plus any generic damage they heal from killing camps with own skills.

I can jungle Leona and pull 25k heals a game without blinking an Eye.

Maybe I should have posted more information:

  1. I was the only S
  2. I was 2/5/24, and my team only had 34 kills. In other words, I was at the core of 76.4% of all kills. In fact, I literally set up 11 consecutive " you enter this zone and you will be wiped" frameworks for my team. If the other team even attempted to ward, they were going to die before they got three steps past the lane. My team used 9 of these, which is why I argue they were mechanically okay.

If this was me playing in Diamond, I would be lucky to pull off 9000 damage and 16k heals in the same game.

Uuuuuh, no. An assist does not mean you were at the core of a kill. Especially as a champion with a targeted heal and a targeted buff. It means you were in the vicinity and clicked on an ally.

The 19000 damage to champions and CC numbers say otherwise....

You just went from one extreme to another. First you accuse me of split pushing; I prove I'm with team the entire time. Second you accuse me of "just gaining assists by leeching." I outdamaged almost everyone on both teams AND got the most kill contribution AND pulled off some insane Aery Shield stat.

Do you have something against Supports? Some bias? Trying to bait me with obvious bullcrap?

My point is.... for all intents and purposes, my "mechanically skilled" team skilled half or less as much as I did. They weren't mechanically bad. They were absent to react.

I'm just giving you a hard time since you wanted to act like it was all your team despite there being several things you did wrong. And no one ever said your team was mechanically skilled. No idea where you keep pulling that from. Only one of them was playing a champion that takes mechanical skill, arguably.

i have to say S on support is a mere joke , i got an S with 1000 ping as support before by just randomly clicking abilitys in team fights and running away in a straight line. you just need to get assissts and not die, thats it.

Just adding...here’s more match details if needed. Right before the Morgana remake match. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Illabethe

the worst ryze, neeko, leona, vayne i ever seen yikes

Illabethe1 votes

Neeko was okay at taking advantage of Leona ults, but generally died after she beelined to kill me. She's why it took 8-9 successful setups to win the game/31 min; She did the right thing by targetting the healer, but it didn't always work because I always take Legend: Tenacity on Nami.

I also picked Nami into Leona and Vayne, because of all the champions I play, Nami and Morgana are two of 6 I play at a Diamond II level. Every time Leona or Vayne did anything, they encountered an E'd Lucian, and I bubbled into their offensive attempts when they tried to in with Leona. Lucian did something unexpected when I was offensive too; He actually would flash over a minion line while ulting, to kill the champions behind them, and if I E'd him, he would cancel his ult and use it. Another reason I say Mechanically good. But it's obvious why they are Silver/Bronze: They didn't participate enough.

Peel for my ADC1 votes

LOL MEANWHILE LEONA IS NAMI'S WORST MATCHUP , YOU COULD BE UP IN LANE 4-0 AND IF SHE'S 6 GOOD LUCK PEELING HER ! you are the cringiest person on this forums and the biggest liar I've ever seen. that MMR falling even lower by the looks of it feels bad man

Yet did you see what happened to her?

I also controlled a game vs a Brand and Twitch today.

Nami is like instinct to play at this point.

I've played Nami for 5 1/2 years. With Runes reworked, I can control almost any game....

Every time they try to punish people other than supports for taking item 3303 , they improve my Nami hard carry by pushing more gold into my build which gets my mana flowing hard.

You wouldn't know it by looking at stats, but I spend nearly 90% of a Nami game spamming her abilities just as a move speed buff to myself or allies.

P.S. I cannot stress enough; if I was trying to rank this account, I would literally run Nami/Morgana in rotation. That is not what I'm doing.....

P.P.S I definitely didn't say Leona was good. I said NEEKO was decent for taking advantage of her.

P.P.S Legend: Tenacity + Triumph is heavily underrated on a champion who can pull a 70+% Kill participation rate. It has an almost nonexistent playrate on her, because everyone tries to play "Resolve" for Revitalize.

Just tonight I went 4/1/20 on a hard carry (the 1 death was only due to an overconfident Jarvan starting a fight behind their base turrets creating an opportunity for Ahri mid to sneak behind me after the game was already over).

That's 480 extra gold, and I had item 3311 's Quest done by 7:25 because of how hard I was controlling Brand/Twitch.
