re: Official League of Legends Thread

You have two options, you can either camp bot and snowball that lane knowing that you won't get counter jungled, or you can camp top and try to keep the lane even. At your level, I wouldn't trust someone to know how to play a 2v1 lane. At high levels that scenario doesn't really happen. It really all depends on what champ is getting 2v1'd and their skill level.

Ahh. So just play the south side of the map.
My jungle, gank, their jungle, gank, My jungle, etc.
Keep Bot and Mid snowballing and hope that the 3 of us can make up for top not doing well?

I find that when I tried to do a 2v2 and keep the lane even, it came down to champion selection and if my mid/bot were winning. Having smite instead of ignite kinda hurts finishing lane kills. Both of us lose out/split cs.
I thought the whole concept of the jungle was to get a 4th champion CS/gold instead of Mid/ADC getting full CS, top splitting, and Support getting none (or having two supports).

The truth is, you just can't help who gets put on your team.
I think I like the snowball approach, but Top usually cries about it being too hard and not fair.

In theory, there should be a rather large gold advantage for our team with the 2 top laners splitting gold

Not exactly. If the two people top are any good, they will be last hitting the majority of the creeps while your top laner will more than likely be losing a lot of creeps to tower shots. Your top laner will have a level advantage, but the gold will still probably stay pretty even, if not tilt in their favor even with you free farming both jungles.

So, how do you propose to counter-act it?

I would probably camp bot and snowball that lane and get a quick first tower. Try to feed my adc, then help top if he starts falling really far behind. You gain a lot of advantages by snowballing bot. You get control over dragon, and the global gold from the bottom tower will help your top laner out in the process. After you take that tower, you can do drag at any point without much fear of being stopped, which will also help your top laner.

Shyvana clears quickly, but her ganks kinda suck.
I know that you don't have to get kills to have a successful gank, but it sucks to let them get away with a few bars of health.

I'm thinking of spending some IPs on a good jungler, b/c I kinda like that role.
I'm thinking Jarvan, Elise, Evelynn.
What do you think?

Top tank is ok. I can 2v1, but it kinda gets boring.
I'm not a very strong mid-laner, but I haven't practiced that much.
Support sucks to play when the ADC sucks.
ADC is fun sometimes, but I feel stuck bot.
Someone is usually losing their lane and having flexibility to help them out appeals to me (team player kinda mentality).
I'm thinking a good jungler would solidify my interest in that role.

Jarvan is far and away my favorite jungler, probably my favorite champ. His ganks are strong with a knockup and a slow, and once he gets six he just has retarded amounts of CC. He does pretty good damage for a tank, and one of my favorite things in team fights is E->Qing into the enemy ADC, knocking the whole team up, and sticking on them, forcing them to run away all while I beat their face in with my spear. But you have to be careful with that ult. You can either be a hero and save your carry or team, or securing a kill... or, you can be THAT jarvan that traps his carry in with opponents and fricks them over. "IM JARVAN, IM HELPING"

All I wanted to point out was that if support is boring, you're doing it wrong. I don't play as much as I used to, but support was my main for quite a while, then started jungling. A good support does lots for the team and even more for their ADC in laning phase and out of laning phase. Ward placement is most important, but you should be counterwarding, poking, etc. Sona is my favorite. Build a Kage's pick and her poke is stronk.

That being said, playing support to a shitty ADC is frustrating. I'm a damn good support so if you fail as ADC with me supporting, you really need help. If that happens I usually find whoever is most fed on our team after laning phase and stick with them to try to get them more fed.

Just sucks when adc sucks.

5v4 and well over an hour, but we won! It was awesome. So awesome.

Me and momo won a ranked game that was a 4v5, when our ADC dc'd.

He had 3 triples and a pentakill with Zed.

Very fun
