I'm fine with ranked til next season. My mmr went to crap for no reason so I'm a good 4 player with silver 1 and 2 players, which means I have to pay hard carries instead of utility champions and I just don't feel like it. Since I'm already gold I'll play like one game a week to stay in gold and that'll be it unless I feel good. I have no chance for platangst even if I did there's no benefit to it but the border.

 

Yeah, I'm more worried about my mmr dropping when I lose than losing the LP.

Currently 0/2 having lost 11 & 9 respectively so my mmr's still really high, but I'm just killing it currently. Support games gone well but the team's just had no idea what objectives are - and oddly enough, lost to a skarner jungle in both games, nice to see him re-appearing.

Edit; 0/3 and another 11 LP down, if my mmr takes many more hits I fear for my placements next season. Short break for dinner and back to it I guess. Had an ok game as jungle Shyv but our Fizz never warded mid so Lux/J4 gave him a new asshole whilst our Ezreal was afk every 20 seconds at bot, had 6 farm by 3 minutes so, I dunno. I'm playing terribly but it's not helped by people doing stuff like that.

 

... I guess I'm spoiled. I'm dropping or adding that (8 to 11) much atm so I don't want to play. I normal go up or diem 15 to 23.

Maybe I'll tough out a game when I get home.

 

4 Games with Fizz and 4 wins.

I don't know why I haven't picked him up earlier. He's so fun and fits my playstyle pretty well.

I really want to make a Jungle, On hit Fizz work. But I don't think it's likely. AP Burst Fizz is just so good.

 

Provisional Game 7 loss: Nami. Lee Sin jungle feeds 7 kills inside of 15 minutes. My nephew on adc's internet goes in and out randomly, epic loss.

Provisional Game 8 loss: Jungle Yi. Top Panth gets hyper fed by top literally running into him over and over. No idea why, they won't respond.

Provisional 9 loss: Nami. Me and Ez were rolling just fine. Mid and jungle died to Fizz so many times it got stupid.

Provisional 10 win : Nami. Despite a Mordekaiser stating his intention to feeding, and spending the entire game running into Eve and Kass, we still won.

Final placement Bronze II, 3 wins 7 losses. On the 4 games we didnt have a crazy intentional feeder, we won 3, lost 1 due to just piss poor focus. The other 6. Jesus christ /wrists.

 

TBH, I didn't even think it was possible to die to an Eve as Morde.

 

Im gonna let you finish but your sustained damage (and thus shield) is like, twice what Eve's is if you hit her with your E and have your W up for resistences. If she ever closes to autoattack you isolated Q her (Mordekaiser has been doing that forever, fuck you khazix) for like, half shield. And of course all this damage is healing you, so...How the fuck do you die? It had to be the kassadin blowing him up. I guess he just could have been a baddie.

 

Bad day of rankeds today

Gold I will have to wait.

 

It's just Bronze, but I'm on a 10 game winning streak playing Support (6 games Lulu, 4 games Thresh). Nothing makes me happier than the enemy support running around with two items besides Ruby Sighstone, Boots of Mobility and Philosopher's Stone Wait, there's one thing. Enemy Support without a Sighstone. Game is half won if that happens I love Bronze (no, I don't, want to get to Silver before the end of the season). If someone was so kind and looked over my lolking, maybe gave some criticism, I would be eternally (not really, for 10 minutes, maybe) grateful

Your match history looks pretty good. Didn't really see anything too badly. You turned your 8 kills Thresh game into a Randuins, and tha'ts good. If you're support and you get kills, you gotta convert that into helping the team in teamfights.

Perhaps buy an early oracles too?

 

Oracles at that level is useful for sure, definitely a purchase if you notice more than just the support carrying wards, though it's nevr a bad buy unless you're a mile behind, good idea.

Congrats on the winning streak too. If it were me, I'd build Thresh tankier once the game gets late and you've got your core, but obviously that assumes you're rolling in cash. Wards and oracles are key but a Randuins is a good item given Thresh's initiation. On Lulu you're more peeling/protecting so, utility would be kinda cool - Say a mikael's or if you want to, some AP, something like a Morellomnicom as it gives everything you could want.

 

To be honest, if I get a kill, it's in a stomp, while saving a carry or finishing people off when it's too dangerous for the ADC to dive for it when I play Lulu. E+Q is good for that

If I do get kills in laning phase, I complete Ruby Sightstone, Philo Stone and Boots of Mobility sooner. Unless I'm really rich or opponent support doesn't ward, I try to keep my Oracle's up (I regularly buy a new one while the old one is still up but barely so) and run around with at least five Sight Wards and two pinks.

Only the gold that's left from that goes into The Big Item. If I am really rich, it's the same thing but I actually get The Big Item sooner. Any extra gold goes to Wards. If the enemy doesn't ward and I'm not strapped for cash, it's not unusual to see me running out of the base with something like 10 Sight and 2 Vision Wards. I don't ever get more than one Big Item (Ancient Golem, Shurelya's, Locket, Crucible or whatever) because if I did, I simply wouldn't have space for wards...

Nothing makes me happier than enemy support with Ruby Sightstone, Boots, Locket and Shurelya's when his score is similar to mine. My actual team mates will kill that person anyways and the vision war has been won. Their whole (or ours depending on the game) is warded, we catch somebody out and then force a team fight.

After the game, I usually tell the enemy support that their Locket + Sunfire Cape lost them the game, they laugh at me. I love playing vs. Bronze supports.

P.S. Wrote this on my old BlackBerry while watching Lithuania vs. Montenegro basketball game, sorry if I made any spelling/grammar or logical mistakes

EDIT: When I play Thresh, I warn people that I probably won't be tanking, ask them to take care of that in the Jungle or Top. I rarely engage fights unless it's a Flash + Hook on a poor Miss Fortune who thought she could run away :d Did that two times today (once on Miss Fortune, once on Jax in separate games), was awesome :d

About Morellonomicon, don't really like it on Support. The AP won't really make a difference, there are better Mana Regen items, better CDR items and somethibg else actually offers defensive stats which I find myself enjoying

 

Morellonomicon, Mikael, Randuin's are all too situational, and usually way too expensive for supports to get. However, if nobody on your team is building Aegis/Locket, it's really not a bad idea at all to get it as support. The team aura on that is too valuable for it to be ignored. I personally believe that, unless someone else on your team is building it, or you are doing heavy split pushing, it is a very important item for a support to get.

 

So yeah, the previous streak ended after 13 games, lost three after that, a 8 game winning streak followed, lost a game, won't be playing any more today. Thresh Ez vs. Tristana Malphite. My Ez had 9 games played in ranked, had 30 cs after 16 minutes. Tristana had over 100. The jungle Olaf kept ganking top. Last pick picked Annie mid into a Kassadin. Lost horribly. I am never playing ranked after 9 PM GMT + 2. Ever again. It was so awesome too... Thresh (W) Thresh (W) Thresh (W) Lulu (W) Lulu (W) Lulu (W) Thresh (W) Thresh (W)...

 

If you're in bronze... Play a semi-support. Kayle/Nidalee/Jarvan/Zilean, and if you can get a few kills under your belt, rush the sightstone+gold per 10s and just build straight carry. If your ADC sucks (30 cs in 16 minutes) just ignore him and CS like you are the ADC, since you basically are. There's no point in warding and peeling for someone who is going to die anyway (bad positioning) so instead put that money on someone who is not going to die and can turn fights around. Personally I only semi-support with Jarvan (knock-up and ult lockdown+those base damages) or Kayle (dat ult, good heal and armor/mr shred, plus slow) and if my ADC sucks I just start taking CS and build a quick sightstone or sightstone+gold pers and build to kill the other carry (or act as the ADC in the case of Kayle).

 

Nowadays, I almost never lose games where opponent support does what you just advised me to do Some pro I don't remember the name of once said that in Bronze, playing support, you can miss every single skillshot but if you just dominate vision, you will win the game.

Of course, there are games that are impossible to win due to vision alone, but playing as a carry with 1500 spent on a Sightstone + extra gold for early game wards and subpar farm + low kill count will not make much of a difference vs. fed opponents.

Catching their carry 3v1 and then forcing a teamfight, however, will at least give it a chance. But that's just my Bronze scrub opinion

Plus, if you get in a habit of playing those semi-supports in Bronze and get to that place where unicorns shit rainbows and weed grows out of Miss Fortune's lady hole, you will have no clue how to play support properly, resulting in lots of losses and unending hate from your teammates, because I get a feeling that this shit doesn't go in high elo.
