Non-Conventional Supports

[quote=koksei]thing is velkoz is 100% legit .. it's not even unconventional, you just can't pick it into some matchups. aka leona. rest is quite alright.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy][quote=Hatted][quote=MissMaw][quote=Hatted]And what's the deal with this Katarina support? I had no idea.[/quote]There is no deal, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who's ever played it, and I've only played 20ish games. Only doing it because I have 4 of her skins and I don't play mid lane. It's totes fun, though![/quote] Is it exactly what I think it is? Your main supportive ability is killing anyone who thinks about hurting your adc?[/quote]Sort of, except you deal no damage and are useless. Basically you have to play with Ignite and need your AD to deal all the damage until the enemy is like half HP-ish and THEN you can go in and try to do something. The problem is, besides having no CC, sustain, no damage and being melee, you also have no way of backing out of an engage without taking a few shots from the enemy if you've already used your E. Getting a good trade is difficult if they aren't low to begin with.[/quote]

Not exactly sure why. I understand his knock-up double w is pretty good, his slow is decent, and the ult melts, but I feel it's a fine line of annihilation and supporting.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Yeah it is a horrible idea, but hey why not?[/quote]

[quote=Hatted][quote=MissMaw]Yeah it is a horrible idea, but hey why not?[/quote] Interesting edit. Because your team knows exactly who to blame for a loss, maybe. (if you care about losing)[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Just because it's a bad pick, doesn't mean you'll lose. I've won both lanes and games with Katarina support.[/quote]

Usually when I'm in a game with friends (who is pretty much all of who I play with now) and bot lane strays for the meta in the slightest they get brutalized. That being said the Voli support had as many kills as the Vayne late game and at one point killed me with Thunder Claws while he was killing my adc. Late game, however. We had Middle Crittlesticks and a Riven. We eventually killed the tank so quickly that his passive would be non-existent.[/quote]

[quote=sirell]I'm about to play support [[fizz]]. I'll let you know how it goes.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]I've seen a few [[katarina]] supports to be honest :P I myself like [[gangplank]] and [[rengar]] as unconventional supports, with one you harass a lot and try to draw CC into you while your ADC trades (or use oranges and run when you get ganked while pinging back your adc and laughing coz he's 100% dead), the other can be pretty intimidating even if they ward your bush but requires A LOT of bush control. Also roams mid before going back to lane after 6 for a 2-man gank :3[/quote]
