When they get your main and say they'd give it to you, but don't have the champ you got stuck with so cant trade

Glory Ln Death. lol Nice name

Lowercase "L", sadly "i" and "I" were both unavailable... Isn't really an issue except on the boards, where your username is capitalized automatically.

i wont lie...

i never noticed it was an L and not an i XD

"Indeed" he said with a sinister look on his face whilst tapping his finger tips together ever so rhythmically

It's also very noticeable on League client on your page. One of my friends tried to be funny and changed his name to something like "HelpIess Wolf" and I went to his profile and was like "...O.o wtf. Helpiess. Really -.-". Hell pies op. lol. It's also noticeable on the comments on here. Il. The L is thinner and taller. The i is the shorter one. On the profile on the client, it will have 2 straight on lines on the top and bottom for the capital i, and the L will have a slant to it and uneven, almost kind of like the old fashioned number "1" on here. Just hope people don't view your profile =P It mostly only looks similar on the friends list. lol

Just lie and tell people it's a math joke. Glory Natural Log of Death. Then giggle when they try to figure out what the hell that is.

Been there, the guy even told me that I should had asked when I did.

JayHog19923 votes

Yeah, ended up playing Soraka sadly. At least I had fun with this build:item 3065 item 3027 item 3027 item 3083 item 3089 item 3158

I am trying to image how much health each cast of Astral Infusion would cost... And I want to know how much it would heal with that much AP from 2 RoAs and a Deathcap...

I want to know the efficiency of the heals... I'm weird like that. >_>

JayHog19922 votes

Messed up, it was 2 RoAs and a rabadon's. It heals somewhat, like 300 per heal, but with infinite HP Regen when out of combat, it's well worth the moment you reach 3K HP.

Even with almost no resistances, it's also awesome that you can withstand that long without issues.

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Wow... I prefer an AP Soraka anyways. Build kinda like this at minimum: item 2301 item 3050 item 3174 & if I can get away with it a item 3041.

JayHog19922 votes

Yeah, but with the tanky build, you can heal nonstop since warmog's just regens your lost HP without breaking the passive (Unless you took enemy damage).

Void Nargacuga1 votes

To each there own right? I just don't think the thank build would work for me is all.

JayHog19921 votes

The downside is that it's too expensive. So there's also that.

Void Nargacuga5 votes

Looks at a Supports budget http://66.media.tumblr.com/00a93e55b25afb70a167837a68b8e23f/tumblr_inline_o4d9b1LQyf1qafrh6_500.gif

Especially on such a tight budget... Might take a LONG time... >_>

JayHog19921 votes

That's why I only try that in ARAM, where a supp item plus the extra gold helps.

morris11 votes

I'm a fan of the tanky-ish build (until 6.13's out lol) but it's also pretty expensive considering that with very low base health Soraka needs a lot of tank items before finally getting the Warmog's passive.

JayHog19921 votes

Exactly, that's the downside to this. If they have early game champions, you're not going to get near half build.

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

warmogs healbot raka is so broken!

just run in and out of combat with boosted movement even usually to super heal your team right up at virtually no cost.

i hate playing against this so much.

and the only downside is pre 3k HP so basically you have a counter play window because that too much HP for an assassin to 100 - 0 not to mention the assassin shouldnt be targeting the support over adc / mage

its too much, warmogs passive should go on CD when raka uses heal.

(IMO) forcing her to use grail to boost healing makes for gameplay and mechanics, not simply, raka has 3k HP + warmogs, yay, we all have free warmogs now XD

JayHog19922 votes

Honestly, Assasins should be focusing Soraka, since she's the kind of support that you'd WANT dead so she doesn't heal her allies.

HECK! I once saw intermediate bots rush past my allies to try and kill me when I was playing Soraka. Those bots know what's up!

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

lol wut?

why would an assassin ignore the ap and ad carries to go for a support?

Xeruon2 votes

A Soraka can easily prevent anyone on your team from doing anything, hence why she should always be prioritized over the AD/APC.

JayHog19922 votes

Thank you.

Any player on the enemy team can easily prevent anyone on your team from doing anything.

Xeruon2 votes

Picture this:

You're Zed, you ult the enemy Ashe, who is at half health. You manage to get her low enough for the R proc to kill her, so you take your R shadow back to safety. But the Soraka, who is on the other side of the map, simply ults and all your damage is undone. The Ashe lives, and you wasted your spells on nothing.

There are many, many scenarios where Soraka can completely shut down any sort of engage/all-in, and completely turn around a teamfight with a team-wide heal. That is why she absolutely NEEDS to be killed first.

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

well then YOU have fun running across the map to kill raka then i guess

just ignore the lane and / or teamfight, just leave, go kill raka who could be in fountain for all you know. sure why not right?

there are other alternatives you know?

theres grievous wounds, you know that thing that most people dont apply to healers or those being healed but was put into the game for exactly that reason...ya know, to reduce healing...which is what raka does...and shes on the enemy team....so you should probly have this... and account for this (clearly in your example you misjudged your opening and therefore failed to execute)

theres disruption / cc which you prob dont have or is limited cc needed / best saved for the execute

theres 4 other members of your team you can work with (amazing)

but hey, if you wanna play an assassin and focus supports as priority targets then go right ahead, as long as your on the enemy team though and not my team, because when you die, whether you get the kill or not, i wont be the only one calling you a feeder everyone else who knows that supports arent priority targets and that one for ones from an assassin is most def not worth, its feeding.

if youre doing well, then your bounty gave up extra gold needlessly...feeder if youre doing poorly thats because you arent picking your targets, timings, and / or openings properly, in which case, you are feeding

i understand situational killing raka, or any support, im not saying dont kill supports, IM SAYING AS AN ASSASSIN YOUR PRIORITY TARGET ISNT AND NEVER SHOULD BE THE SUPPORT.

[zombie-brand-mindblown]

JayHog19922 votes

3 reasons.

Heal. Ult. Silence snare if she aims it well.

Let's assume that you're rengar and you're about to jump on a half HP adc next to a soraka. If soraka plays her cards right, she'll heal her adc once, place her snare between her adc's feet so that once you jump on her, you literaly can't do a thing. You'll be confused, the adc will be healed again and move away, you'll get snared by the time you realize what's wrong and then the adc kills you, even if not fed.

One soraka you didn't focus and you're dead of a fail assassination. Same could be applied to any other assassin.

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

then you clearly didnt have a proper opening no matter who the champ you are playing as or the support you are playing against be patient and find your opening, dont force it if you jump on raka, kill or no kill the ad and ap carries will turn and focus you, and seeing as you arent the tank you will get melted, resulting in a 1 for 1 #notworth

JayHog19922 votes

Exactly, having a soraka makes both focusing her and focusing her allies dangerous for an assassin. Especially if her allies have hard CC.

So only way to beat soraka is to nearly die or worse if you manage to kill her too fast and hope your team can clean up.

JayHog19921 votes

This is coming from a "meh" support that learned how to counter assasins by saving my skills and waiting for the enemy rengar.

I'm Lulu? Ult the assassin's victim, squirrel the assassin and wait for that assist.

Soraka? I just stated it above.

Morgana? use my ult as an indicator for invisible enemies, save my Q for him, My E for the victim and W to do some decent damage.

Braum? Save my ult to disengage the assassin from the victim.

Bard? Land my Q, use the W to speed my ally up and if things go too hot, ult to give my team time to realize what's going on.

This is me in lower Elo, where assassins tend to fail to deliver. I might not be able to do all of this, but I KNOW how to counter assassins as a support, and by knowing this I now that as an assassin, I have to be careful for who's around my victim.

Playing smart, that's all.

Yaśuo Main1 votes

just shut up. your done here, stop trying to come back.

Im a zed main too, mastered. I obviously know what the hell to do in a situation like this. Im not gonna die from a fkin Soraka, cuz who the hell is gonna kill me? Im damn zed, 3/4 of the team can't hit me because I'm almost too mobile, same for Yasuo except its 4/4 because he can either beat the crap out of whoever wants to protect Soraka, windwall the ADC, and pick off Soraka. LB is obvious lol, just burst down and snare whoever tries to get you, let your team clean up the 2-3 enemies trying to hit you from behind, easy Ace if the enemies are dumb enough not to run. Azir? if you fight at a chokepoint or are in mid, ult enemy team without getting Soraka in the ult range ( If she wanders even a tiny bit away, ult enemy team and proceed to kill her ). Veigar? Obvious, cut off Soraka or just let 3 of the enemies atleast ( including soraka obviously ) make soraka get stunned, and proceed to one shot her. Kat? Focus only soraka and try to flash out after quickly Q E W R'ing ( she might not be dead but you should be able to ignite her and maybe land a second Q ). You should have CC titans like sion, naut, lee sin who can 4 man ult if lucky, maokai, etc. You also called Teemo a troll with the "even more likely" statement you will obviously try to excuse by " i said likely you idiot ". You are so funny huh.

@aLawfulFalafel doofus

JayHog19921 votes

Oh you were talking to the other guy, you got me worried there...

But yeah, assassin CAN kill soraka without her team intervening, it's a matter of opening and paying attention to her spells being on cd. If her E is on cd, that's your opening, even if she has ult.

Yaśuo Main1 votes

stop down voting everyone against you, insecure goofball.

Soraka is literally the bane of zed if she went full AP, your 600 damage ultimate you got a smug face with can instantly be reverted as the Soraka taunts you, as you end up looking like an idiot. Soraka is usually a support carry if she's good, and AD carries are gonna be healed back up just like a fountain. It's either try to kill the monster that never dies because of the healer backing it up or kill the healer and THEN kill the monster. Simple 2 step strategy yet you are so naive to doing something like that are you?

Edit: I reverted your down votes btw.

Soraka can be pretty fun in ARAM - healers are kind of op.

HayRoss6 votes

And then you see their build: Garen item 3083 item 3074 item 3158 item 3056 item 3025 item 3748 Internal screaming

Yrzen1 votes

Sona item 3158item 3100item 3285item 3065item 3116item 3089 No mana items

Constantly mana-starved the entire game, can't heal team or self

No one on the team has clarity

Kill me.

HayRoss3 votes

I may not know much about Sona, but I can tell that's a better build for her than that Garen build is for him.

Yrzen1 votes

It certainly has its value...

for the ten seconds she has mana.

In ARAM, I usually build 300% mana regen (Ancient Coin for healing and gold generation which I later sell without upgrading, Athene's and Ardent Censer) and still run out of mana,

In ARAM, Sona basically tapes her W key down.

HayRoss1 votes

Atleast with that Sona build you still do SOMEthing. With that Garen build, you're not tanky for a Garen. You're not doing any damage for a Garen. You just took these useless items, and you also bought both hydras. YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING

People actually build Garen like this and it makes me really mad. I apologize for this angry rant

Targon6 votes

I once got a really bad champion for ARAM (Mordekaiser) and someone else had Diana, one of my mains, so I tried trading with them and they declined. They rerolled like 20 seconds later >.>.

aLawfulFalafel1 votes

only once?

i swear people think its the funniest thing sometimes

idk why there isnt a system where if someone RRs a champ then that champ goes into a pool where the other teammates can still trade for it (original champ owner cant have champ back in any way though)

no more of that! :)

GIVE ME THE GOSH DARN Karthus!

Seriously, I swear, he is godlike in that mode but no one knows how to use him properly...

Glory ln Death2 votes

Tank Karthus is op in aram - build tanky with item 3003 and item 3151 and just wade through the enemy team. Probably not your idea of "using him properly", though...
