Your secret weapon for Ranked?

CarameI Frappe··1 votes·700 views

We all have champions that we main in Ranked ... for example, I play Leona constantly and spam her whenever I can. I also play Braum Soraka Morgana depending on the match up. However, if I know the match is going to be rough for any of my selected supports ... I pull out my secret weapon. I give you, Nami.

She's a special kind of support because her kit syncs well with almost any ADC. Her W is great for harassing people, but also healing your allies. Her bubble is an easy AOE stun to pull off, and can usually get 2 or so people if you time it right. Her E is probably the bread & butter in her kit, because using it on an ally allows them to slow someone for 35% for 1 second and deal 85 (plus 20% AP) damage for three autos. Then you have her ultimate which is a tsunami ... one that takes up half the lane and travels quite far. Those knocked up by it are slowed, plus the wave allows your allies to run faster.

She may not be tanky like my main Leona, may not give immense heals like Soraka, doesn't dish out insane damage like Morgana does, but Nami to me is the kind of support that's special because she can be the jack of all trades, without needing to specialize in one role. Want your ADC to have sustain? Her W with items like item 3504 can really keep them alive during harsh ganks / team fights. Her CC is balanced enough to keep champions like MasterYi Yasuo at bay (unless they avoid it of course). Her E makes an ADC like Vayne an absolute monster, one you will likely lose trades with while she has E's blessing on her. Most importantly, her ult can be a game changer to stop assaults from champions like Darius Jhin Khazix Volibear, ect. during their animations.

TL;DR Version: My secret weapon is Nami because she fills in everything an ADC needs in a Support. Heals, CC, grants stronger autos for you, and an ult to stop assassins or champions from reaching you. With the right items, she can keep you alive in most situations, give you the peel needed to out trade enemies, and most importantly she's someone I rarely die with (2 - 4 deaths a game, hardly ever goes beyond that).

Question: What's your secret weapon? It doesn't have to be someone you main, or it could be- but this champion is the one who'll pull you through hard matches and bring you out on top. Although I main Leona, Nami can do so much more even though she's not as tanky.

Oh, the sweet Zed bans by the people who refuse to communicate. If I am playing jungle, which has recently become my other role, I'll pull out the master of change himself, Khazix

Not only is he great at lvl2 cheese invades, He's also got some ridiculous damage with that isolation Q of his, and snowballs so hard, he'll delete you before you can say "RITO NERF PLZ!!!"

Velkoz no1 expects the burst and hes not seen enough to understand his kill potential/range.

i also love him because in the famous words of bjergsen himself .... "geometry OP... op op"

i also love him for his range and wave clear. it might take him 3 abilities to clear a wave, but its worth it in the long run to get every cs all the time just for being in lane.

Elise I'm silver. She's very good at punishing players that get caught out, which happens a ton in my elo. She can 1v1 most champions early, putting her in a great position to harass the enemy jungler and fight over objectives. She has very strong early ganks, whch allows her to snowball the game before team members have the opportunity to throw; or alternatively, to turn around a losing game in our favor. She has just enough mobility to catch out mispositioned carries in teamfights. She has a well-rounded kit that works in nearly any team comp. She has good burst, hard cc, and can be built fairly tanky to boot. The only real problem here is that she falls off late, but honestly, I've found the best strategy for carrying at this elo to be snowballing and closing out the game before your team has the opportunity to throw. She's really, really good at that.

Wish I had one. Even if I do fantastic, I still end up losing because bot lane fed 15 kills between them, and their team is made up of everything that showcases Riot's greed. Literally, one time, I was 29/1 as Eve, had pushed all three lanes + inhibs by myself, and still lost because my team went and died (yet, even though I was in the middle of it all, I still lived somehow, but couldn't clean up since all 5 were up) and they just pushed into our base and ended.

So, yeah, I don't have any secret weapon. I just hope I get the less retarded team.
