    There's shit wrong when, in a ranked game, the zero CS support has the highest kills, assist, gold, and team contribution compared to every other role.

    Involved in 35/38 kills. :awesome

    Nice!


    Though that opposing lineup is absolutely ridiculously bad, and their farm is also shitty as hell, so must not have been a real challenge even?

    Swain and Sion have no excuse for their shitty farm, but that team composition is actually not too bad. It could work. It'd require a premade team, yeah, but it could.

    Most of their team is bullshit easy mode, and the ones that aren't are still pretty fucking easy to play (Swain comes to mind). Built in slow, built in DoT, built in Snare, built in lifesteal. On an AP Carry. Rylai's is also pretty common on him, so enjoy walking around when he hits you with that slow.

    EDIT: Took a look at the team again, this time with actually opening up an image.

    AD Poppy. Not-tanky Garen. Hybrid Sion (Although I think this one is acceptable), and Swain is building an Abyssal Scepter. All of my fucking wat.

    I really meant that they farmed bad, not that those chars couldn't farm :D


    But really, 4 melee chars and one mage doing mostly sustained damage, and none really excelling at initiation, yeah, I can't see that working against a reasonably decent team...

    Poppy and Sion were bot vs Me and Sivir. Yeah, they weren't getting farm at all. I would half HP them every time they tried to get in range for last-hits and I kept that up for at least 13 minutes, scoring like 10~ kills in the process while ganking other lanes too.

    I even told the Amumu and Sivir to leave bot tower up just to let me deny the enemy more.

    Swain got destroyed mid because Amumu and I would regularly show up there and help Galio get kills. I don't even know what happened at top.

    Their jungle Yi couldn't fight us at bot ever. Any time he'd show up, 3-4 CCs would be slamming into him for an easy kill.

    What's the deal with Skarner and AS/Crit? I tried to recommended build in Dominion (trinity->lifesteal gun) and it sucked balls. Then I tried Trinity->Blooddancer and I wrecked faces. Obviously, given that he is an AD character, attack crit, and movespeed are beneficial, but would it be worth it to rush Blooddancer->15% lifesteal->trinity?

    You went straight damage Skarner. That's your problem.

    To elaborate, you build Skarner as Tanky AP, to the best of my knowledge. Evan's Nautilus build is actually what I'd recommend getting, so scroll up to the scoreboard image.

    Amumu + Naut = ultimate tank Duo.

    No matter how fed the enemy team is, these two together will still shut down everyone except maybe Karthus.

    Don't really understand why Karthus was excluded :/ Maybe Morgana with her spellshield or somebody with high mobility, but Karthus? He sucks o,0

    Karthus scales too well and the thing about amumu is that he will lock the enemy team down in one place, which means your team is pretty locked down as well if you want to make use of that "stun" but it doesn't stun, it prevents movement and autoattacking. Neither of which matter to Karthus, who will destroy you with his constant aoe and Q spam. His E with AP is like a mini fiddle ult that lasts forever, and once you kill him he will ult and kill you.

    Came back from a pretty big deficit when this premade ganked our jungler and got FB and set him behind. WK got the kill and came to lane with two starts essentially (boots+4 pots+ward+cloth armor) but I killed him a few times and then got dived and got fed. I bought the hex drinker as a joke but it netted me another kill on swain when the shield popped long enough for Soraka's ult to come off cd. After the hexdrinker buy though, we ended up roaming for so long that I went back with 4900g, so I picked up an IE because Shezza was our AD carry and I figured it would be necessary.

    Just lost 5 ranked games in a row because my team throws harder than Manning. It'd ridiculous, I just sit in my lane farming and occasionally killing the other player when my team stuffs it up. I'll load into the game and 2 minutes later I'll hear "An ally has been slain." How does someone get killed in the first 2 minutes, I could comprehend it if the enemy had invaded or purple top/blue bottom took double golems, but none of that happened. If it's not that my jungler will randomly come into my lane and feed the other person a kill.

    What Churchy said, basically. Naut and Amumu together excel at mass-CCing the entire enemy team. Because of how they are typically built, even the items they acquire over a game complement each others tanking and team boosting abilities.

    Thing is, they both focus on locking down Tanky DPS, Tanks, Assassins, and Ranged AD. They are absolute pants at holding AP champs that can afford to stand and spam, which is basically what Karthus excels at even when dead.

    Morgana doesn't mean much to this duo because both are tanky enough to eat her Ulti and can unload a lot of CC during her ulti. Their combined damage pretty much destroys her shield instantly unless she uses it on the tank, and just having the tank CCing people won't stop the carry from getting nuked.

    This duo is especially painful to squishies because both Naut and Amumu don't really give a fuck about kiting or standing in back since Naut can just Ulti for a secured lock-down.

    Not to mention a Naut bot kill laning with a ranged AD like Trist or Graves causes a ridiculous amount of issues for the standard supports at bottom. Naut can effectively 50% any champion he meets with minimal effort and costs at lvl 3+, so with a carry that has CC, it's a forgone conclusion who wins fights.
