Best support?

[quote=The Overmyynd]This is kind of true, but if you take charge of the game and let everyone know, "hey, if you want to take 20% less damage during teamfights, stay inside my ult" people will pay attention. Besides, in low ELO, [[maokai]] runs essentially a kill lane with your ad carry. HUGE range on his sapling toss means constant damage if you get AP/armor runes and focus AP or tank masteries, and if you get a [[sheen]] your combo takes HUGE chunks of health out of people. The combo goes as such- [[Sapling toss]] on top of enemy, [[twisted advance]] before the sapling hits, AA+[[sheen]] proc, sapling hits, [[arcane smash]], sapling explodes, AA+ [[sheen]] proc, all this while your AD carry is pounding away at them... as long as the two of you are in sync, its pretty much a guaranteed kill. [[maokai]] is NOT a character seen alot in low elo, so alot of people dont know how he works, which works alot to your advantage. He is free this week, so please check him out![/quote]

[quote=animorte]Oh, I know how Maokai works. He has an amazing skill-set and my favourite thing for him is Sheen, always. It's just that people in general have a difficult time cooperating.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Tree carry FTW? lolz i love doing that, i think my best game with him was like... 14/2/12 or something and they surrendered at 25 minutes. But its all about taking charge. Im assuming you have some experience, so you can take charge of the team and become the "general" and make the little puppets do what you want. You would be amazed how well this works in games. If you dont think they will listen to you, just try it. To quote a brilliant man, 'You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." ' People DO follow plans if someone lays it out for them and directs the flow. Step up and make your puppets dance, and watch your ELO skyrocket.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]As opposed to generally ignoring people? Actually, that sounds good. Will do.[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]Janna, Alistar, Leona. Strong cc is what defines great supports right now. Utility without farm. People forget about Leona, but she's strong as ballz. Can't really deny that Janna is really really really strong right now, though.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Team Comp that Dominates: [[gragas]] mid [[lee sin]] top [[trundle]] jungle [[tristana]] ad carry [[janna]] support Every single character has displacement/disruption that breaks team fights into pieces. In this kind of comp, [[janna]] is an essential role. This kind of attitude is really popular in tourna games right now, and is why [[janna]] is so popular atm. this comp focuses on dominating late game teamfights, which is where [[janna]] really really shines. In team comps that focus more on lane domination, a support like [[taric]], [[alistar]], [[blitzcrank]], [[maokai]] would fit the bill better. [[Soraka]] is a good pick if your carry is a baws at last hitting, or kinda sucks and needs to be babysat. Good safe pick in general. Ive never really been a huge fan of [[sona]], but her ult is funny. I guess what im trying to say is, there is no "best" support, however there is always a "best support for the team dynamic".[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]^ the only problem with your team comp: Gragas and trundle are ugly, so no one wants to play them. It makes the team uninspired to do well, so you lose. gg. Sona has really lost her place recently. She can't harass as well as she used to. imo, Leona fills her aoe role better now because of the presence in lane. It's just so strong. Which sucks, cuz sona is my favorite support. :([/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Sona got nerfed to shit-tier.[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]QQ SOOOO SAAAAAADDDDD[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Gragas isnt ugly...[/quote]
