Teemo

Shrooms are wards.

I was going to come up with a well-reasoned counterargument, but then I remembered that his traps lasted twice as long as sightstone's wards…

Morgan le FeyMay 15, 20174 votes

And he doesn't have to back every time they run out - they recharge every 30s at level 6 without CDR. He can have more out at once, too - 10 rather than 3 without CDR, 25 at 16 with 40% CDR. Only issue is the vision radius is tiny, but even then it's not that much smaller than blue wards. I actually might need to try wardbot Teemo now...

Maokai last 70 seconds after level 9 now if you put them in a bush, better than a ward if you ask me considering the low ass cd.

And there's no limit to how many you can have, and they can't be killed unless they blow up on an enemy...

Ive been using Mao as support every now and then. its a great way to "scare" the enemy team. I just love when they constantly checking bush and having like 3-4 saps coming at them.

actually he is not even that bad as a support http://lolalytics.com/champion/Teemo/Support/

It also makes sense for him to play in that role, if he weren' t so squishy and subsceptible to magic harrass with his blind and shrooms he would be quite good.

47% is pretty bad

DecritMay 16, 20171 votes

honestly i consider everything that is over 45% winrate to be decently good. It means you have a fair chance to win and can pivot on counterplay to increase the likelyhood to win over 50%.

The true trash tier is the one that is even lower, like how it was taliyah back at the time. And still there are champions there that can be quite powerful when mastered, like Azir.

barrels are wards Gangplank

Faceroll TacticsMay 15, 20172 votes

Barrels give enough vision to see a melee champ attacking it, and that's about it

New LCS strat:

Teemo standing perfectly still in the river as a human ward with vision that can never be denied.

UnpaladinMay 15, 20171 votes

Zyra does this while being a totally legit support champion. Disregard wards, acquire ability power!

IcyPepperMay 15, 201711 votes

>see a thread about supports >involves warding

Jokes or discussion, it's starting to look interchangeable at this rate. Guess all supports are wardens, eh?

SpaceWolfMay 15, 20174 votes

Maokai ward bombs

Friendly RamMay 15, 20172 votes

nuclear wards more likely.When a brand is qqing about damage i find it bad.

CasterGilgameshMay 15, 20174 votes

why does no one ever ward themselves why cant everyone just use their totems.....

DJMason88May 15, 20171 votes

Because supports will usually buy sight stone which means they can place down more wards without cd. And later in the game you will usually switch the totem out for item 3363 .

Support warding < Support and everyone else warding

DJMason88May 15, 20171 votes

Im not saying that you shouldn't ward, im saying that support is the one who should be warding the most because he is acting like no one ever wards.

EvilUnicornLordMay 16, 20172 votes

The support often does ward, but it'd improve his chances of winning if his entire team also warded because it takes only 2 seconds and costs them nothing.

Of course, if you don't ward, you do get your own theme song!

EvilUnicornLordMay 15, 20171 votes

Because using wards (which already comes in your inventory and is completely free) reduces AD by 0.002%!

Common fact.

HailTheBananaMay 16, 20174 votes

When the entire team doesn't understand that ONE PERSON can't ward the entire map and everyone needs to pitch in (yes, even you adc's.)

when i see an enemy support take ignite: https://static.superdeluxe.com/dankland/generators/triggered.jpg

Masterofchaos999May 15, 20172 votes

If you are fighting a healer, ignite is better for the grievous wounds.

AgeOfTheMageMay 15, 20171 votes

except they take it just for the kills ._.

Trias000May 15, 20173 votes

So what? It's also a totally legit strategy. And it's not like it's a bad thing when a support kills an enemy, even though many people believe otherwise. As if your support weakened your team somehow by killing an enemy.

EvilUnicornLordMay 15, 20173 votes

The ADC often requires more gold. But you aren't wrong. Anybody on your team getting an extra 300 G is a good thing.

AgeOfTheMageMay 15, 20171 votes

well, the people that tend to tke it for ignite tend to take it for the sake of kills instead of protecting their adc/team

I like how they often take meji's and keep dying after... then they sell it mid game to hide what they was planning.

Just look at this shit. I lose because of those retards....

EvilUnicornLordMay 15, 20171 votes

I was about to say he was legit support because Vel'koz can be a decent support and he got Frost Queen's Claim...

But then I saw his CS.

crippler38May 16, 20172 votes

someone has to take it.

LauchmelderMay 16, 20171 votes

I would have been fine with everything there, but as support you buy Sightstone.

I had to take the hit and buy it and in return lacked the damage to kill their Draven, who killed our team.

How about for those that say "Supp" in chat for Blind Picks and those that chose supp in Draft, the Game will require you to build a first item a sightstone before you go AP, and you can't sell sightstone. Either you upgrade to a item 2045 or upgrade it to a item 2303 item 2302 or item 2301 . Otherwise you can report them for not going actual supp build, they're account goes back to lv1 and they're force to climb back up only playing support with only these champions Alistar Bard Blitzcrank Braum Janna Karma Lulu Morgana Nami Nautilus Rakan Taric Thresh Leona Zyra Zilean Soraka Sona and Urgot and disable the other 50+ champions.

It's either YOU SUPPORT OR DON'T DESERVE CHALLENGER!!!!!

AidenJacobsMay 16, 20171 votes

this is honestly stupid. plays zero and maxes out items oh i can't sell sightstone for more ap for the last fight of the game. oh they have a morde blitz bot but i can't buy any mr. seems smart
