saying " OMG DONT PICK SQUISHY TOP LANE " is wrong

It should be like this " It would be awesome if you pick a tank because we really need one " Put it in a gentle way forcing people to pick what they dont want is rude.

Its always the jungler or support that says after they lock in MasterYi Zyra or something

Jet SettSep 20, 201710 votes

That doesn't matter, what matters is when pick intent was shown/what champ is being hovered. I'm tired of this "Well other teammates locked in squishies when they can have tanks in their role!" shit. People bitch at others if they willingly pick something that doesn't round out the team, if the team gets made before you put your input in despite having ample time to do so, it's YOUR fault for any lacking areas that could be covered by your pick.

Part of the reason I as a support main generally avoid tanks (other than being much better at Morgana & enchanters in general) is because other people will use that as an excuse to not play a tank. Support tanks cannot do a main tank's job unless they're really ahead or Alistar (who I don't enjoy and I'm no good at anyways). We're just not durable enough. Trying to use us as a substitute for someone who actually has money is just asking for trouble, and I don't want to get flamed by people who don't get that.

i play tank master yi its pretty good

DarkRitualSep 21, 20172 votes

I'm still not picking a tank as last pick support. Ardent Soraka/Janna is still better than the support solo-tanking.

Vayne Oh, toplaner, blessed be thy soul, please us, the comrades in the upcoming battle, with a tankier alternative to your playstyle, pretty please.

Gangplank Uhm... No?

Vayne Fu, sock a duck, 9x reported.

I'll be honest. I have a hard time decypher what you mean with your 2nd statement. Saying "omg dont picky squishie top lane" is wrong, but put it gentler is rude...then what is right???

DtimeDSep 20, 20173 votes

People who think they auto win against trynd because they picked teemo are fun to be against (dorans shield op). Its people like you that main teemo that I truly fear.

dont worry mate, i play him support and i can still respect you.

Skins ProjectSep 21, 20171 votes

Actually I'v been wanting to try that a bit, do you focus on going tanky with shroom wards and Q blinds? Or how would you go about it.

It Hertz When IPSep 21, 20171 votes

Looking at his match history, looks like he rushes Ruby SS and Liandries, with a Rylais if the match goes long enough. Merc Treads for boots, Spellthief line for gold (Teemo support's all about poke/Blind in laning, so Spellthief makes sense).

Hello I am BirdSep 21, 20171 votes

As a trynd main, do you have any advice about playing against Tryndamere?

Any strategies that you find get you behind/lose more often?

Trynd is for sure one of the champs I struggle against.

GhostButter2gSep 21, 20171 votes

When you are at max range with boots and W, his spin can't gap close against you.

You can push him completely out of lane in the early game and put him way behind for the mid game. Just make sure you do a lot of warding if you try this.

You can Blind his Ult, Then Shroom and W to escape. If he hits your shroom you might even kill him when his ult wears off

Hello I am BirdSep 21, 20171 votes

mb for not being more specific, I just meant general terms. I very rarely play teemo, I'm more for Fiora/Camille/Illaoi. But just general tips would be appreciated.

DtimeDSep 21, 20171 votes

Sorry for late response, ill tell you some things that will help you out.

Respect and abuse the fury bar. If a tryndamere has full fury at level one, he WILL get first blood except for about three matchups (jax with counterstrike, Olaf, Renekton unless trynd gets two crits). If he uses Q then you need to go in hard and abuse the fact that he lost all his crit. Tryndamere relies on fury in the early stages more than anything and I never see anyone abusing it.
Play counter-aggressive top laners like Darius, Renekton, and Pantheon.
If you have a movement ability, wait until he spins to use it. For example, Tryndamere is fighting jax and he counterstrikes, trynd will try to E away but if Jax was smart he was saving Q for when trynd engaged.
Bait his W. The dueling potential that a slow and 20 reduced AD gives is more impactful than people think. Also try and turn around when he uses it, this might be hard tho.
In teamfights, a good tryndamere will try to flank during a fight. Keep your blind spots warded.
Stop his push, if he's not grouped then go to the most pushed lane and shove it back to him.

Hope this helps.

I play Teemo and I do hear this when I'm trying to have fun and relax in normal games and have to hear the team scream "REEEEEE PICK TANK" sorry but I don't want to nor I will because my intention was to play x champion this game, even if it sounds like we're being dicks it's just sometimes or even most of the time we don't want to.

Ariel the CruelSep 21, 20172 votes

Just ye'll at the support. That way you, top, and jungle are all on the same page. XD

AirKingNeoSep 20, 20171 votes

I think people like you forget people are going to overreact because people are people.

And maybe those top laners might want to be considerate.

Telephone BoothSep 20, 20171 votes

Haha I was expecting you to say something else and I was basically planning on responding with what you wrote lol. I agree

One Ashe OnSep 21, 20171 votes

Being gentle is always helpful but sometime , the player is more confident with a ''squishy '' top laner. For exemple i've mained Quinn for a long time but i had more success chance with her than said for exemple Malphite because i'm not playing him on regular basis.. people need to trust other sometime..

jadelinkSep 21, 20171 votes

My reply here is often along the lines of 'I don't mind picking a tank if you all agree not to complain when i get stomped by that Fiora'.

Pandemic PunchSep 21, 20171 votes

That is when I say, "If you want a tank then play a tank." Then they get mad.

Celestial Lion12Sep 21, 20173 votes

but what if im playing adc

Pandemic PunchSep 21, 20172 votes

Then play a tank or pick a different position where you feel like playing a tank ;-)

JoseraphSep 21, 20171 votes

I've had a second to last pick Tryndamere flame me for not picking a tank, after I first picked Jax.

The Ghøst KingSep 21, 20171 votes

I hate it when people do that too.. Don't get me wrong in some situations it makes sense like in ranked and you weren't going to get your main pick anyway you could always pick a tank but players need to realize that tanks may not be that persons specialty and if they pick a tank it could basically result in the "inting" and its better players are in their comfort zone in ranked then an indirect auto fill.

Frontline FurySep 21, 20171 votes

Majority of low rank junglers refuse to play teamplay champions (aka tanks) and also refuse to gank top lane, thus they want their top laner to take the "boring class" as tanks are generally somewhat safe solo laners.

big boi edriSep 21, 20171 votes

This is a perk of picking MonkeyKing . The people who bitch about picking a tank think he is some kind of tank/bruiser. By the time they realize he isn't a tank, its too late.
