What Playing Team Builder Feels Like

Hey at least you brought up a decent point opposed to other idiots. Kalista timing is important yes. Your teammate will screw up a lot if they aren't challenger. Expect it and don't judge people over it. Just like you can expect even competent junglers to miss smite. It happens. Don't put yourself on a pedastal like you're better (not Baron of Bread, YOU in general to people complaining). If you are in the same rank with the people you are complaining about, chances are you're no different.

Every people who are complaining about the champions you speak of; go play them for about 20 games and show us all your results. I'm looking at ALL of you who are complaining; your game info and history. They aren't good. I'm not good either but I'm not the one complaining like a child about something there isn't a point to complain about. There's nothing wrong with Kalista or Tahm Kench. It's the players behind those champions that's the problem. And you can only get different peers if you carry yourself up to higher rank. Until then, you can't put blame on anything except yourselves.

All pro LoL matches basically is about who makes less mistakes. You make 10 mistakes every 5 minutes in bronze or silver, about 2 of them gets capitalized and you can still win that game even with a 10k gold deficit. You make 1-2 mistake in high elo, very high chance it will snowball and cause you a loss even if you have 1k gold lead. In fact, most likely they will capitalize on that one mistake after 30 mintues of nonstop flawless mechanics.

Tahm Kench does the same thing to adc's as a support. Only his is on a basic ability and he can throw you towards the enemy.

Source for Kalista is horrible to support for? I get that it's a champion that is fully utilizing its potential as duo. But I've had plenty of games with Kalista I wasn't queued with nor did I even like their play style. We didn't synergize well together either. But we still had great games. Even bad games I never once thought Kalista is horrible to support for or anything.

Next, Kalista ult is a huge playmaker in that it is a better version of Thresh lantern but for support and you can make beast engages. I'm not putting YOU under scrutiny but the Kalista you are referring to are bronze players who probably aren't good and they don't know how to play her well. If you judge a champion about how good it is/how bad it is by how people play it in bronze or silver or even platinum, you're judging a champion wrong. You're not looking at its actual strengths and flaws. You're just basically complaining about how people in your rank simply aren't good at playing Kalista, and since you're her support and you're watching them make all the mistakes you might get the illusion that you are better than that adc.

As a support main for 2 seasons I certainly got that feeling myself supporting a lot of ADC's. But truth of the matter is the fact that carrying with support is easier. It has been easier since support got buffed season 3. Honestly, I could carry your account to Gold (MAYBE plat) using just Lee Sin support and my ADC could be afk. Not saying I would win 100% but it's doable for sure and it'll take someone like me less than a month (2 weeks maybe) to do it.

I'm not saying your low rank gives you no right to share your opinions. I'm just saying you should try looking at these champions for what they are; look at their kit, the type of build order they go and WHY they build that way. This way, even if you are bronze or even unranked or level 20, you can start theory-crafting champions on the same level as some Diamonds and pros. I see people in Plat and low Diamond who have trash mechanics but have good game knowledge, thus win games. Complaining about Kalista's ult? Really? I love it when my ADC picks Kalista even when I'm not duo'd. Just understand Kalista is extremely squishy, extremely vulnerable. Therefore you have to play around that.

Hence why you play Bard or Tahm support, Kalista being an inconsiderate ADC? Lets see how she likes being frozen and left behind or being eaten and spat out behind enemy minions. I guarantee that Kalista will stop being so inconsiderate when they realize you have the ability to indirectly kill them fairly easily, that or they will AFK and the true Bard/Tahm carry will emerge.

No, Kalista is awful to support for if you aren't duo with her. She repositions/suppresses you whenever she wants and you have absolutely no say in the matter. She's also a lot like in that the people who play her tend to be whiny little shits and are either extremely good with her or complete trash with no middle ground (and the good ones are usually on the other team)

I agree, especially Kalista during free week. I always get the "first time Kalista" player who doesn't actually know what the ult does. They just press it because they've been taught to press R whenever you're in a fight. I always know it'll be a bad game when I see the Kalista player standing completely still while farming minions, instead of hopping like you're supposed to.

I don't like Mobis, prefer lucidity so http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/658/456/c0c.gif

I'm just saying that any champion is going to be terrible to play id they often end up unable to do anything. Old Darius was technically fun as hell but in practice he was just the worst the moment he had to leave lane, hence he ended up being zero fun to play regardless of how visceral his kit was

Heart of Gold gave you less gold than it does now overall. Also, Heart of Gold was an upgraded item from Ruby Crystal meaning you wouldn't get the GP item effect until your 2nd or sometimes your 3rd back. Next, Heart of Gold wasn't a support item. It was a tank item. If you had a weak early game tank or melee that had trouble farming, you took heart of gold to offset the amount of CS you would lose. This is why I mention stuff like your opinions not mattering in another post because your rank is low; because you don't even know what HoG was even for. I'm not saying low rank opinions don't matter; but they don't matter if you don't even know certain things. Shen and other tank top laners took Heart of Gold. Also, support were far more gold starved pre season 3. The new support items gave it a much EASIER way to carry support. This was actually a controversial debate where people argued they hated the new support items making bot lane imba. NOW, they are trying to implement MORE differences to support. I'm not welcoming all these changes but you're making a lot of claims that aren't true. HoG was more tank item than support. You took GP5 quints back then.

Also, look at the type of supports right now. More and more non support champs have been making the jump into LCS and pro games with the newly implemented support items and changes. How can you criticize Riot for not even trying when they have? Just to name a few since S3; Annie, Morg, Brand, Vel'koz, Trundle, Tahm Kench, Shen, Nautilus, Volibear during Warmogs OPdom.
