Jungle Taric wants to have a word with you.


Jungle Janna, Jungle Sona, Jungle Alistar, Jungle Zilean, Jungle Soraka.

All of them work.

But jungle Taric is outrageous.

Let's argue about our opinions on that being different after Captain Obvious points it out for us.

The enemy bans Taric and first-picks Alistar because they know you're an all-support team.

What now?



Exactly - As I said, it's not suited for ranked play.

If you can't pull it off it ranked, then it's not a metagame. It's a gimmick at best.

Anyone who goes arguing for jungle any-other-support would end up getting counter-jungled hard.
And exactly how do you plan to gank? Surprise heals-shields? o3o

I'll ask you this.

If you're playing ranked " Solo Q " lets say. A person on the team says, hey I want to AP bottom, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

I would assume they are trying to run a special lane. Taric/Brand, in example.

I don't see how this is relevant though unless the person on your team actually requested it. There is really no point in discussing "what ifs".


I can see why others warned me to simply not expect people to actually explain themselves as you seem to be doing anything but that.

Look, it's really simple. The reason 5x supports wouldn't work in ranked is not because of the jungler role, it's simply because you'll be 5x AP. And guess what the opponent will do? Gear Magic Resist.

Secondly, you're wrong about saying thay supports are vulnurable early game, they're actually incredibly strong early game.

Also you'd have to be psychic to know in advance that the opponent's going to pick 5x supports

And let's say we want a support jungling, how are we going to get ganks off as support jungler? Taric's stun, zilean's slowdown, Janna's tornado and slow, and I bet your teammates on the lane will also have some form of CC. I'd say most supports shouldn't have any ganking problems, you're not going to level your defensive spells first as support jungler are you? ;)

Why wouldn't you just go AD Sona or Janna? Lulz.

You could even argue that Ashe is a support.

Or you could have support/AP Maokai top, Support/AP Zilean mid, Janna + Ashe bot and GP jungle.

Idk looks pretty viable to me.
