Rough going today... went 1-4 in norms bunch of 10 year olds play this game. It's a constant bitchfest. I played an ARAM to settle my stomach. Sometimes chaos is calming.

Posted 20/5/10 Teemo (Top) yesterday. We lost though

We had no tanks and our last pick support went nidalee. Probably would have won had we had any hefty champs on our team.

I still haven't found my niche. I definitely like laning as opposed to jungling. I have never played mid, only top as a yi and garen and been successful, and bot with teemo or ash. I think my biggest issue I have now is last shoting creeps.

I have played to many games with no tanks. Any suggestion on a few to try?

Always. Playing ranked yesterday a guy got mad he couldn't go jungle. He lee sin supported, refused to help leash blue bc the other guy "took jg from him" and causes general disarray.

I truly enjoy jungling more than laning b/c I can run around, help here, take objectives there, and pretty much have freedom to make plays.

But what I've started to notice is that it's really hard for me to carry from the jungle. I need a laner that I can help snowball or for us to not be very far behind to give us a chance.

Laning isn't as appealing to me b/c cs'ing for 10-20min is boring, but you can have a substantial effect on the game and carry if needed.

#1 skill as a laner.

Renekton has been around for a long time. He's got a decent kit and can carry or tank.
Shyvana isn't a great laner b/c her burnout isn't good for cs'ing early, but her position in the meta and tankiness is good.
Jax is a good bruiser that can carry from top lane.

Say what you want, but I had first pick and told everyone what I was doing. They were fine with it.

Our Vi Jungle went damage build and our support refused to pick tanky.

It was a normal, so no harm no foul.

Shyv, Nunu, Olaf, Mundo, Udyr, Nautilis, Rammus.... so many options for tanks.

I like a Vi, Elise, Jax jungle to try to carry as much as the next guy.
But, if I see my team comp is squishy. It doesn't matter how much damage they put out if they just melt when they get dove.

support
I don't think I'm even going to comment on the availability of tanky supports. You already know.

Hydra on Zed....oh my...

Thank you for showing me the light, Bjergsen. I still think BT is better if you're forcing 1v1's with a split push just for the sheer AD boost, but in team fights...Jesus...Hydra is nasty.

I own Nunu and Naut. I don't play top lane ever. I bought teemo to use as a support (got tired of playing the same ole champs), and it's been working quite well.

Thresh was banned, but Leona and Volibear were still available.

If the team needed a tank, I would have done it myself. But since I was first pick and wanted to try teemo top, I figured someone else would have gone tank since they were ok with my pick.

I generally go thresh or leona as support. Great tanks into later game.

I meant these for jungle tanks.

Jungler should have known better.
Jungler/top are usually tanks. So, if top doesn't go tank, jungler has to.

But, I don't ever blame the support. He's got a job to do. Shield ADC, CC, peel, whatever. His job is protect and feed ADC.

If the support likes a tanky player, like a leona or thresh, that's just a bonus.

What's a good price point to get a decent gaming headset?

I don't think I need wireless.
Is getting a circumferential (over the ear) headset worth it to maximize comfort?

Everyone knocks them but I have turtle beach. The 50$ or so pair. Very comfortable and serve their purpose.

As for lol

I will be jungling in ranked from now on. I'm ok at adc and a good support, but it too difficult to carry at support. I feel I can do more by counter jungling, fanning and split pushing.

So much to say:
ADC/Mid-Assassins got nerfed with the new defense masteries & tank & support meta. You are just too squishy if they dive you, and the tanks live forever.

Jungling is alright, but you just don't get the gold generation that a top/mid/adc does. So, even counter-jungling, pushing turrets down, and trying to make a difference as a tank/carry isn't enough if the laners don't do their part.

You can lose it as ADC/Support/Jungle, but I'm not sure you can win it.

You think so until you wear something else. I had TurtleBeaches for 3 years and just got a pair of Astro A40's. I will never put my TB's on again. This is like wearing a cloud compared the TB's.

My champ pool and experience top and mid is pretty slim. I'm trying to build up more champs for those lanes to practice with. When you sup you rely on getting a competent adc and vice versa. When I jungle I can take care of my business and make plays in other lanes.

My tb's were a gift (free) so that makes them good for me.

You can get these at Wal-Mart. I love them and you get a really good product for a cheap price.

Side note, I am now 2-0 in ranked

Went 19/3/11 as Teemo top.

I'm 39/8/16 with Teemo top lane in my last two games...love this little guy.

I started playing again last week after trying it out a few years ago. I fricking hate Teemo my knowledge is pretty limited at this point but I usually go adc or top. I suck at mid and I've never tried jungling or support

Honestly, he's extremely useful and easy to play...BUT by ME picking him, the other team doesn't get him.
