Why are you showing a classic and gruesome fight between support mains? Dude is talking about noob supports.

AMYS GRAVEMar 27, 201714 votes

That feel when you poop out a ward mid teamfight because you're just mashing buttons.

Fine Ionian SilkMar 27, 201719 votes

Its a zoning ward.

Glory ln DeathMar 27, 201718 votes

It's a diversion tactic - you can make the enemy target it on accident instead of a teammate. Also, it's a great distraction for the gold and experience deprived enemy support.

Now you're just being cruel. Have they not suffered enough? It's like attracting starving pig to your house by promising them a sausage then making them your bacon.

Glory ln DeathMar 27, 20172 votes

Well, I think that is perfectly justified. The other pigs will be glad to be rid of that cannibal!

Fellow memers take note - this is an actually useful gameplay tip, especially against those who use "attack move" to autoattack instead of right clicking since attack move works on wards! (no i don't get distracted by wards. honest.)

sta supraMar 28, 20171 votes

can confirm i have won a fair share of fights with the enemy adc by making them auto a ward. was even better when they started ragging in all chat.

Velzard of KozMar 27, 20172 votes

And it's Control Ward and you happen to reveal sneaky Twitch trying to pass around you.

KnalxzMar 27, 20174 votes

that's why you play a tank support, because regardless of what you're doing, you're helping someone.

Ariel the CruelMar 27, 20173 votes

Report noob support. Didn't use 6 item 3512 , D summoner 4 , F summoner 3 , 7 item 3341

You have 9 buttons. USE THEM! And don't you dare use the wrong passive as Sona (Not that anyone will notice).

She deletes people regardless of what empowerment, as long as it kills nobody will know.

Ariel the CruelMar 28, 20172 votes

Only Q empowerment deals extra damage. W reduces target's damage output. E slows.

(I'm ignoring the power chord damage in this statement which applies to all of them.)

RomtheguyMar 28, 20171 votes

Haha, once again, glad to see others noticing her different empowerments!

Ariel the CruelMar 28, 20172 votes

Eh, comes with being a support main. <shrugs>

13900 EssenceMar 28, 20171 votes

The joke was she deletes you regardless. I know her chords because my friend just spams her 24/7.

GhostOfTsushimaMar 27, 20172 votes

funny thing is low trash elo buy active items but never use em anyway so LOL

EvilUnicornLordMar 27, 201711 votes

Captain AishiMar 27, 20177 votes

cool, I'm not low ELO trash since I usually pop locket on top of my teammates corpses because I remember I have the item once everyone's dead, but I do use it!

HeimerLmaoMar 27, 20173 votes

... I thought I'm the only one doing this...

OurLestradeMar 27, 20172 votes

That's why you play Braum. 90% of the time I have no idea what's going on as him, but I end up protecting people because of wall shenanigans :P

rtbf225618241Mar 27, 20172 votes

Well try using all of them with Normal cast. I dare you.

Wild WesMar 27, 20171 votes

I hate playing support because your just required now to build all these items that have actives and hell I can't remember to use them all... Probably why I have such a low winrate playing support...

FatedSaviourMar 28, 20171 votes

plays support, ally adc never stops overengaging, peels the adc, is told to play defensive, continnues to perfectly peel the adc, adc tells enemy team to report you for not playing defensive

Ariel the CruelMar 28, 20171 votes

Playing support only requires 12-13 buttons. (>_>) That's just 6 more than most other players.

The God of CakesMar 27, 20171 votes

I'm so glad I have a mouse with enough buttons for almost all my active items. Makes maining support so much easier.

Ariel the CruelMar 28, 20171 votes

Remove CC - great against some dive/pick comps. 20% shield/heal buff - bonus points if you run Bond of Stone (or what ever it is called now).

So, something like this?

Point of note, the poster of the video said himself that he was just freaking out during that whole thing and pressing buttons.

I like how the Soraka moves backwards even though the cursor isn't pointing back(I'm pretty sure that's not a replay either).

SpecterVonBarenMar 29, 20171 votes

Ah, he went backwards because of pathing being dumb.

ExcusemeFellowsMar 29, 20171 votes

Lel, I wish i was that lucky xD

Ale non è maleMar 27, 20171 votes

Dude, it is too simple, you are forgetting also summoner 4 summoner 3 item 3341

I'll say something serious now despite being in M&G (sorry for that guys)

This is the reason why I don't like the idea of having more items balanced about active stats and why some items clearly fails in their purpose of fulfilling certain niches .

Example, recently people complained about the lack if an armor + AP item other than Zhonya...but this item actually EXIST! It is item 3050 The problem it is the majority of this item value value come from the active and the interaction with the marked ally, but it isn't worthy to add a further item to the usual item builds that:

has mediocre stats on his own
depends on another ally to work
add confusion in messy/agitated situation when the risk of fatfingering the wrong key exists without giving immediately noticeable rewards

For other roles this thing could be less noticeable because they have generally 1/2 active items at most + trinket that they usually don't have to use, but a support has to build a lot of active items and is difficult to hit the most useful item in the correct order since you got to have also control all the other keys. You got to work with your brain in forceast things because manage 10+ keys (those are only simple commands, now move camera, do AA on ranged supports, etc...) + mouse in real time while focusing the right target require an excessive amount of mechanical skills for what should be in theory the role with the lowest amount of mechanical skills requirements
