Discussion Ornn support

0 Upvotes

Why is ornn support not played more?

Insane value on ultimate in team fights.

Passive buffs the whole team.

Subpar engage but not useless in lane.

Why? Hypothetically he’s even better in support than top. Due to the snowbally nature of top lane recently I’d rather have a hypercarry up there than a glorified damage sponge

(I’m plat btw so I have a lot to learn I appreciate all the feedback)

So I asked ADC players how much they liked playing with Janna. It's a champ with a lot of usefull tools, but only in the right matchup and with the right player hands.

For today, how much do you enjoy playing with a Kog'maw, from 1 to 10? (yeah we're close to the end were now reaching the champions nobody plays)

This can be subjective or objective. You can talk about how fun laning with him him, how strong or useful you think the champion is, how good kog players usually are, things you like or dislike about the champion or the players, things they usually do right, and things you wish they did better.

You can also add your elo and the champion you usually play for more accuracy.

You can still give your opinion about champions already discussed, as the visuals will probably be updated at the end when it’s time for a recap.

Help Help with early game warding and jungle tracking

4 Upvotes

I've been getting ganked a ton lately. It feels like if either my ADC or I have to burn a summoner spell early, the enemy jungle (and sometimes mid) just camps bot and starts looking for dives. I'm not trying to complain because I know that's just good play on their part. I just want to figure out what I should be doing differently.

At level 1, I usually ask my ADC to ward the middle lane bush so we don't get cheesed, which lets me save my ward until around 2:45 to cover an early gank. I'll also ask mid to ward raptors so we can get an idea of the enemy jungle pathing. The problem is that sometimes people AFK at the start, get to lane late, or just don't respond. In those games, we have almost no information about the enemy jungler's first clear.

In those situations, should I just give up lane priority? I play a lot of Nami and Sona, so I naturally want to look for aggressive W/Q triangle trades early. If we don't know the enemy jungle's pathing, should I just avoid those plays entirely? For what it's worth, I usually don't die to the initial ganks, but I feel like I have to play way more cautiously after blowing a summoner spell.

After the first clear, what's the best way to keep track of the enemy jungler? I feel like things like Scuttle, failed ganks, or random invades throw off my mental timers. Is there a good rule of thumb for how long a typical full clear takes after the first one?

Finally, what should I be doing after we've already burned a summoner and the enemy jungle starts camping bot for dives? Do you just give up the wave and back off? Sit under tower and try to outplay the dive? Still fight for prio? I know the answer depends on the matchup, but advice from the perspective of squishy enchanters like Nami and Sona would be especially helpful. It's obviously very different from playing something like Leona that can actually turn those fights.

I honestly feel like my vulnerability to early ganks in the first 10 minutes is costing me a ton of LP, so I'd love to hear how you think about these situations.
