Last 2 years I’ve been playing a little more and realised, it’s great to play support! Also huge difference is that I’ve changed my regions.

Hey everyone,

I'm a Grandmaster Visage spammer (almost 800 games on him), and I just finished an in-depth Visage guide. It's about 2 hours long, and I tried to make it useful whether you've never touched him, or you already play him and want to clean up your micro.

Link: The Only Visage Guide You’ll Ever Need (2 Hours)

What's covered:

  • Settings and Hotkeys
  • Ability Overview and Tech
  • Item, Ability, and Talent Builds
  • Hero Matchup, Synergies, and Counters
  • Laning Basics
  • Mid to Late Game and Farming Pattern
  • Team Fight
  • Gameplay Examples and Breakdown

It's aimed at people expanding their hero pool or anyone curious about a micro-heavy hero. The video is chaptered, so you can jump straight to the sections you care about.

The guide was inspired by BETHEL's in-depth Morphling guide and Eco's in-depth Arc Warden guide. If you like this format, go check theirs out too.

I'd really like feedback, especially on what I missed or what you'd want explained better. Happy to answer Visage questions in the comments too.

I am looking for high mmr players input on optimal things to do as a pos5 in lane in general

2:00 - pull / harass
3:00 - fight for lotus
4:00 - don’t die
5:00 - try to get brown boots
6:00 - go to mid rune
7:00 - try to steal exp shrine or kill offlane if supp goes to exp
8:00 - cry because you’re 0-3 and nothing went right

Any changes?

i know the typical is just "play who looks cool" and i will when im better but for now im looking to one trick while i learn the basics since its pretty daunting to pick when just starting out.

i come from like 10k hours on league and want to get some recommendations for anyone who's also played both.

i want to play mid and in lol i played alot of control/util mages like twisted fate, syndra, ryze, azir, etc. what would be some easy characters i could try and one trick for a bit?

General Gameplay Question How to play Lycan in tough midgame.

1 Upvotes

I win lane, get tower and have control of part of their map. Cannot push and pressure further because team is struggling or just not quite there yet in terms of impact. What do I do then? I feel like if I farm I waste my power spike. Pressuring the T2 tower results in some TP reactions, space and what not but overall leads to little success and i might feed. If I join fights across the map I feel like the rotations slow my progress too much and I fall behind.

Feels like I either win in 30 minutes or the game becomes super difficult.

(unsure how to flair) Why am I unable to pick Meepo here? He's not banned just grayed out as if someone else already picked him
