the zyra/heim lane is certaily able to farm in a 2v2 situation. When the double buffed level 4 Lee Sin comes botlane thru the unwarded tribush and blows up your 18 armor is when the defensive runes become more necessary. Also if you had any ADC other than Caitlyn, who would need that lane presence to safely farm. """The goal isn't really pushing the lane as much as owning and controlling the flow so that its safe to farm and safe from ganks.""" that means that it is really i

Honestly the biggest improvement i would do would only do this on purple side, and 2v1 top lane. Right now your early game is effectively a 2v1 because you have no defensive runes, and you come to lane only with Philo and nothing eilse really. That is not as big of a deal against melees top. Plus,, turrets will be more effective and you can push hard and try to take (or at least damage) the enemy turret. Then, swap back to botlane after first shop with your strong double smite dragon control.

while i agree you may not have single handly lost any games as support heim, i don't think that having support heim who has a lot of gold directly contributes to winning. It is able to draw out a losing game though ;) althoughi agree that zyra is a decent option at holding 2v1 and keeping the tower alive, onee thing i think you haven't mentioned is just how much gold you are funneling into the enemy adc with urrets and plants. That one Corki game he had 305 CS a

i don't think any one anticipated you flashing into 3 people into a bush with no vision. That's something you would see in a "haha look at these noobs in Bronze Elo". i'm sure Zen God didn't appreciate it. You've been exhuming toxicity and negativity to everyone around you the past two weeks. You constantly whine about everything everyone does. It's a catch-22; no matter what they do you find out something wrong. And you don't even co

#ranked teams: originally we thought that climbing up to plat would be pretty easy - Dan was pretty adamant about that fact. Turns out that Silver is really hardcore. About half the games are serious teams trying to climb.. the other half are scrubs. We assumed a much smaller percentage of that fact. However, that was also one of the reasons we started the team late in the season - to explore and try things out with no real consequence since S4 is a few mo

wouldn't it be most productive to queue normals on your Alt if you wanted to practice mid? You've already got some rune pages (at least armor/MR). Practicing against level 30s makes a big difference and hopefully you can get the last remaining runes without too much difficulty (whereas going all the way to level 30 is a bitch). And i can't imagine your alt's Normal MMR being too high.

[quote] well... how so? Ignoring skill cap - let's say the guy decides he's going to main support now and puts a bunch of time into that... keep in mind we are also taking about someone that is buried DEEP in bronze V. What should he do? [/quote] It's still the same as being buried DEEP in gold V. Support is an open role the majority of the time. If you decide to play 50 Normals to brush up on support, you'll get support 40 times. If you dec

why can't you carry as a support in Bronze? Assuming that you are, indeed, a Bronze player (think like moving from Bronze IV to II): 1- no one on the team can CS (eg, the support has a much larger % of the teams gold regardless of their scaling) 2- you can play your best role 80% of the time. this allows you to "abuse flavor of the month" (esp since Bronze bans lag way behind). It also allows you to play your best champion nearly every game. This is

i disagree with a lot of what is being said here. Support is the best way to carry yourself to plat. (which is why i suspect i was forgotten in the OP). In silver/low gold support is basically completely an un-contested position. That means you can play your best role 80-90% of the time. Bad ADCs are rampant in these brackets and if you abuse the strong supports and strategies (eg, Red Pot Ignite Sona) you can completely take advantage of them. If you look at what DotA2

not sure why you thought you would get anything significant for Plat. You never have. You get an upgraded loading border, icon, and account banner. The new thing this season is an upgraded "invitation" border. The only new thing you get from Gold -> Plat is that you get a forum badge on the official forum whereas gold gets no such thing. We are the 1.5%

i just want to point out that i don't think the Galio pick was bad there, even if i gave him a lot of crap about "build a team around me guys i am playing _____". He did great in-lane against Brand and the problem with teamfights was either it was immediately canceled (the enemy team was good about that) or it didn't get critical targets (neither Yi nor Vayne). Although improvements could have been made (better items and skill orders), ultimately that wasn't what lost us t

Like i said, it's a problem with laning. At 1:56 i lose control of the lane (wherever i am). Despite sometimes getting huge jungle camp i'm not able to convert that into a winning lane just because the technical skill gap atm is enormous (people keep having their "mains" in their Summoner name - shit's getting serious). Additionally since i'm playing with Plat Is you have the "hell-hole" of dealing with a I-division where everyone hates everything.

[quote] HEDGIE - are you seeing any major differences in the level of competition where you are in plat now compared to other levels? Just curious if you have any feedback you might provide. What's diff? Is it just more of the same? Thanks! [/quote] atm my MMR is Diamond IV / Diamond V / Plat I (i was first pick once as Plat III on a team of Plat I+). Right now i can't lane and i get demolished. i can't really offer any

#teams: i'm going to start off by saying i don't particularily think the teams were imbalanced last time. Both games had back and forth and were reasonably close in terms of "chance of both teams to win at any given moment". According to the "if it was successful, it was good" logic, the teams were balanced. /edited/ poorly phrased, no point talking about it, not really a serious issue, sorry

botlane wasn't a 2v1 - it was a 3v1, don't harp on the Jayce not holding as well as you wanted him to. i didn't kill a single non-buff camp. Repeating "3 towers at 12 minutes" without admitting we got 2 towers + 2 dragons at 14 is insulting. You are picking an arbitrary point of time to make a claim that you outmaneuvered us with your superior foresight without giving us any credibility. Finally, giving us your buddies who are currently on tilt/easily
