This Community is Garbage

RIP Resonance·Feb 18, 2016·5 votes·1,147 views

This is a normal game. During normal games, I like to play out of the meta and have fun, so I played Katarina support. I got harassed by my team, three of my teammates ended up going AFK. I wasn't AFK, intentionally feeding, or toxic to any of my teammates in this game whatsoever. I had fun while the game lasted, but I'm annoyed that people get so salty about out of meta picks. Does the community just expect me to be a robot and play and every game and have it be boring?

Why can't you just go mid if you want to play kat? People are still trying to win while having fun in normals. Kat is clearly not a support.

You sound just as negative and condescending as them. Just because I'm on Katarina support doesn't make it an automatic loss. "Kat is clearly not a support" sounds a lot like saying brand/morgana/zyra/annie/lux/vel is clearly not a support.

You know what literally every champ you just names has in common? They have CC. Kat isn't a support. Breaking the meta is fine, but you aren't going to have the tools you need as a support. How will you peel or set up an engage with Kat? If you are in a duo with your bot fine play whatever you want, but don't inflict your terrible choices on strangers and expect them to kiss you while you are fucking them.

item 3116 item 3092 Items I built which provide CC, and Katarina has the ability to go in and burst a carry with ease, so she can secure kills relatively easily. As for peel and engaging, there's four other champions that can do that if they wish. Last I checked, in the summoners code there is nothing that says "you must play by the metagame at all times." I don't expect you guys to suck my dick and tickle my asshole while I play what I want to, but I deserve to be respected as a player of this game. Being toxic is never okay.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Kat is not the best support. But that's no reason for people to flame you. I mean, as long as you are trying to win and not intentionally throw the game, I'd be ok with it.

PS: If you want to try a fun bot lane, try Mao, Rengar bot. Mao takes his w first and let Rengar get 4 stacks of his passive. Mao roots the squishy support and Rengar QQ for the first blood. It's a lot of fun.

I've done something similar with Thresh Yasuo

Awkward CouchFeb 18, 20161 votes

Wait, you've played Thresh support? Wow you troll. Kappa. I've seen Imaqtpie play "ADC" Yasou, didn't work out too well. haha.

Kei143Feb 18, 20161 votes

Killing them is the best CC.

ADCs can get assists too !! Plus when you are a threat, everyone just uses everything against you, and now you are a CC absorber.

Happens alot when I do a Tanky Teemo Support.

You just seem like another one of those trolls that says they are just breaking the meta, when you're clearly just troll picking a random champ that is not viable as a support. As this other guy said commenting on what you said, every champ you named has cc and is viable as support. You playing Kat brings nothing to the table for supporting.

Am I picking a random champion? Yes. Am I trolling? No. I am actively trying to win the game with my pick.

JötunheimrFeb 18, 20163 votes

Either way, by picking Kat as support, you are not being serious about the game.

Why would I want to tryhard a normal game? Don't get me wrong, I'm not intentionally playing poorly, but I'm not going to try as hard as I would, had it been a ranked game.

JötunheimrFeb 18, 20162 votes

Because it's still a game people want to win for either playing casually or to farm LP without having to be ranked.

Awkward CouchFeb 18, 20164 votes

That's not even remotely true.

Awkward CouchFeb 18, 20162 votes

So we're just supposed to pick whatever the pros pick in the LCS and never try anything different? If you want to argue that, then actually Lulu mid is a troll pick from Season 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnlZm2wARfQ Lulu mid was unheard of, and people thought that Alex was trolling. 2 years later and Lulu is still one of the most contested picks in the LCS.

Even if you don't buy that, feel free to check out this link. Number 5 under acceptable behavior.

Look Kat support isn't the best choice, no one is going to deny that. But to say that you don't take the game serious because of that, is wrong. Off meta/weird picks is fine. Even off meta/weird builds are alright and not reportable. You can build a bloodthirster on Anavia and still not be punished for it.

This man right here actually knows his shit.

JötunheimrFeb 19, 20162 votes

You really don't get it. Kat is NOT viable for mid as in HER ABILITIES ARE USELESS AND ONLY DAMAGE PLUS CLOSE COMBAT. You automatically go to "Well why do I have to play what the pros play?" No one is saying you have to play what they play, but going Kat support is complete troll picking. I'm not saying this is reportable either, just play a god damn support if you want to support... if you want to play Kat just go mid.... holy shit dude.

Awkward CouchFeb 19, 20161 votes

I don't think you're getting it. There is nothing wrong with Kat support. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Voyboy brought Kat into the top lane in solo que, would you bitch him out too? There is absolutely nothing wrong with what the OP did, he warded up, he didn't feed, and he tried to win the game.

JötunheimrFeb 19, 20161 votes

You are still clearly not getting it and your examples just prove my point even more. Kat is NOT a SUPPORT and does nothing to SUPPORT the team. She is a pure damage champion that is truly meant for mid as an assassin. YES you can bring her top because for the fact that she does Damage and is basically the same as mid. EVERYTHING is wrong with Kat support for the FACT alone that SHE IS NOT A SUPPORT. I really don't understand why you are not getting this through that thick skull of yours. KAT IS NOT A SUPPORT.

You going Kat support is like me wanting to go Soraka ADC. She's clearly not an ADC and has no abilities to benefit her in the ADC role.

I would understand a little if someone brought Kat jungle and said they were breaking the meta and trying it out because she does DAMAGE and DAMAGE is viable in DAMAGE ROLES. She might get destroyed and put far back in jungle but at least shes doing something that she is able to, which is DAMAGE.

There is a clear difference in "Breaking the meta" and making stupid decisions. Bringing Kat jungle would be breaking the meta. Varus mid would be breaking the meta, Corki mid would be breaking the meta, rumble jungle would be breaking the meta.

Awkward CouchFeb 19, 20161 votes

You are clearly misunderstanding me. Just because a champion is designed for one role, DOES NOT mean that you have to play them in that one role. Under your line of reasoning, we should never have had Annie support or Morgana support because they were designed to be mid laners. Under your paradigm no one should be able to play graves jungle because he's designed to be an ADC.

You can see it is a troll pick all you want, but in the end, it is not reportable and not punishable.

JötunheimrFeb 19, 20161 votes

I understand you perfectly, you're just wrong and you refuse to realize that. I'm not going to keep repeating myself because I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to a wall. The only reason Annie and Morgana are viable for support is because of their CC and damage at the same time. They are VIABLE for BOTH. Understand that. Graves is viable for jungle now because of his rework on his skills. Before, he was not looked at as a jungler because he was just an ordinary adc like all the others.

As I keep saying, I'm not saying its reportable, just that if you want to play Kat, go mid/top or whatever that involves her doing DAMAGE like she is made for and what her abilities do. (PURE DAMAGE) If you want to play support, pick someone that is VIABLE for supporting the team and the adc.

Awkward CouchFeb 19, 20161 votes

So since Xin has a knock up he can be played as support? What about Aatrox? What about LB? The have 1 form of cc but they all offer pure damage, so does that mean those aren't troll picks?

JötunheimrFeb 19, 20161 votes

Sure, they have forms of cc, not much so its not really recommended. These are champions that are WAY better at their original lanes.

By me saying PURE DAMAGE I mean every single spell is Damage related and NO cc or anything that helps the team. Kat is pure damage. Your examples are still very poor. Have i need to remind you that you played Kat support, not these champs you are explaining.

As of now, you are just looking for any excuse to not play support champions.

DJColdCutzFeb 18, 20163 votes

Sometimes when I get "bot" in Ranked, I'll go AP Veigar, and then people will freak out, harass/report me, and leave too.. If I was supposed to pick an ADC, the position would be called "ADC" and Mordekaiser bot wouldn't exist. Some people are too autistic to handle change, and any deviation from the meta causes them to go into seizures or something.

Exactly. People shit themselves, roll around in it, and cry and complain if they see something they've never seen played before in LCS.

MasterSomethingFeb 18, 20161 votes

Bot is usually a role for champions who do most of their damage over time rather than in bursts. Mordekaiser is special, as he gets closer to his dragon, and his Q takes three hits to destroy. That is why most ADCs go bot- they can farm up their items so they can do such damage. Veigar can go bot, but is usually not great because your team needs a viable source of damage once their burst goes out.

Seeing as she is gear intensive and has no way to help the ADC secure kills. However, you did at least Ward.

SeriphymFeb 22, 20161 votes

Here is my advice.

Since they took away TeamBuilder the only place you have to do this is in normals. I have not played many times as Kat support but every time I have our team won. (3-5games perhaps)

Now this is not about the legitimacy of using Kat as a support as I feel the most you get out of it is the shock and awe factor which does,t last long.

No this is about you using an off meta pick for the purpose of experimentation.

Its not reportable.
Those who went AFK ARE reportable.
Don't say anything, just continue to play out the game without complaint and then TAKE the TIME to report ALL who went afk after the match.

^ Nuff Said.
