Stop berating people for their choice of champion before the game has even STARTED.

I am a enthusiastic Yuumi and Ezreal player. Every other ranked game I get into, I'm already being flamed and called a troll for my pick. "Ezreal does no damage, he's useless. Don't pick him in this elo." "Don't pick Yuumi, I don't want to play a 1v2." Stop judging people for playing less than optimal champion. They could be a one-trick for all you know, that champ is all they know. If you ban it? You've secured the loss. In any elo below Diamond it doesn't matter anyway. You can pick Ivern adc and still win.

A little PSA because I know for a fact it will happen: this is not the place to rant about how Yuumi is the most unbalanced champion in the game and deserves to be gutted and I deserve to be banned for playing her. I play Yuumi because she is a cat. Who doesn't like cats?

I don't mind an Ezreal or Yuumi bot.

However, I'm going to get a bit concerned if my Jungle role instalocks Lux and mutes chat.

Doesn't mean you should neglect your team's criticism towards your choice of champs. Sometimes skill has nothing to do with winning, but the composition of the champs for one another.

Probably because they have had multiple bad experiences with that particular champ and the people who play them. For me most of my experiences with an ally yasuo is them begging for mid or feeding, banning the champ you are going to play, feeding in-game, and flaming their team.

I have had people on my team ban my Zoe because they say there aren't any good Zoe's in silver. Ok dude this is a high gold game and I have a 71% wr ok buddy.

They are right about ezreal though. It is torture to play as a support for ezreal unless you are a mage support. If you are leona or an enchanter though... all you can do is sit there and watch. If you are janna or nami, you can attampt to 1v2 while ezreal does nothing. Inevitably you will likely get poked out in the 1v2 and you have to sit back and do nothing again. You will never have lane prio for the first 25 minutes of the game so the enemy team will likely get all 4 dragons uncontested if they are remotely aware of the situation.

If you play 40% WR champions, you deserve to be berated. You're actively trying to destroy your team's chances for success by a LARGE margin.

I felt a bit concerned when my ADC took Soraka, went midlane, took my exp, went aggro, and fed LB 3 kills before continuing to take my exp.

Why do people just parrot streamer talking points that dont make sense? If you are a person that abuses meta to get to a certain rank and you are struggling, you cant win with ivern adc. Ivern adc is a huge dissadvantage compared to playing meta and the only way you win with it is if you are playing in much lower mmr than you should be in. And yuumi is a champ that makes the lane pretty 1v2, especially vs hook/heavy engage champions.

Blame riot for this insane damage meta they have going on..it makes champs like yuumi be in a pretty bad spot..all enchanter supports really

but for the record.. as a jungler this season I am going to laugh everytime I see someone go teemo jungle..

I don't know which streamer or whoever made this a thing... But I am going to invade and smash you every single time I see a teemo, It is like having a free win.

I just had this comment " lol yuumi player we lost" ... I end up carrying the game lol

This this this. I have Mastery Level 7 on her and a lot of mastery points playing Yuumi. There were so many Yuumi jump/heals I did in my day that even my team was surprised. But before that, they were flaming me hard for picking Yuumi and they all thought we were gonna lose and I was just gonna get my adc killed over and over. Nope. Complete opposite. Adc got FED, I even got fed, and my team loved me. I remember I reading the chat and having my team argue who should have Yuumi.

People need to stop being so paranoid over a hover pick and do some research on the player before screeching at them. It's so dumb.

As someone who otp's Janna , I feel your pain

I'm sorry, but when it comes to people picking ad senna, as a support main I have to say no.

Senna is literally the old tp ezreal with less dmg but slight utility, it makes the lane feel incredibly awful and i will not be part of it.

That champion is not meant to be played as ad, the only reason she is viable as support is due to how many souls she can gather, which gets nearly halved as ad.

Nope.

I do this and I will continue to do this. When I play certain champions I need other champions on my team to synergize with my pick, example if I'm Ryze I need a front line, if I'm Kaisa I need a front line, if I'm Draven I need a front line. You can't expect me to not flame you when you hover nothing, type nothing in chat, and last pick Yuumi with Kaisa. ADC's CANNOT be the frontline. If your champion doesn't have basic ability hard CC can you even call that a support? If you're going to pick a terrible support at least tell me so I can play Ezreal and afk farm from 1000 range.
