Not to mention Saint Vicious has jungled Janna, I just don't know how he did it.

SV hasn't jungled Fizz yet.

Reds say he's a "good" jungler but he's very micro intensive to do perfectly.

Played a solo que ranked recently... Karma, Lux, Sona, Galio, Mordekaiser... As if Mordekaiser wasn't invincible enough. We shut them down, hard. Myself as Karma 12/1/16+

My personal idea for a new metagame:

Tank (someone like Shen or Leona) + AP carry/Support bot (someone like Karma or Soraka who deals a lot of damage but also has decent sustain)

AD or AP mid

The one that didn't go mid top

Jungler


EXAMPLE:
Karma & Leona bot

Vayne Mid

Morgana Top

Udyr Jungle

This is pretty much the old NA meta before the EU AD+Support bot took over :P

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

Yeah I remember playing a ranked game as lux, janna, nidalee, singed and cait. First I was like wtf this can't work. But singed basically just ran in like rambo and threw something back whereafter we killed it with a snare and spear while healing/shielding rambo singed. We won the game surprisingly fast ^^

Supports often have some of the best CC in the game, and for what? To help the carries get the kills. Don't tell me supports can't fill the entire jungle role quite exceptionally.

Some supports can even fill countless roles. Some can tank while others (most) can throw down AP damage. Believe it or not there are quite a few that work well with AD too.

I'm sorry to bump this thread again, but for those interested I decided to record a game of us playing this setup. I think it should give you a little better view on the setup. We played as Soraka (me), Sona, Alistar, Lux (not really a great pick), and a random person that played Tryndamere.

Mind you that this was recorded in a normal game, I’m far from facing good opponents, but I suppose I’m facing above average opponents at least due to my W/L ratio of 1.2 and 421 wins in normal (the average would be a W/L of 1.0 rite?). Anyways, don't expect awesome opponents, don't think we win this easily every match, also don't pay attention to the chat (our little german freindz were getting a little overexcited, and Sona is #1 troll), but simply take this record as a rough guideline and enjoy the watch!

To view the match you will need to download LoLreplay on the same site, if you haven't allready done it. Mind you that I'm playing Soraka, so you will have to keep following Soraka in order to view health bars!

I think a nasus or morgana (esP morg) on their side could really ruin this setup. I do find it really interesting, however. It mostly seems like a troll build. Both of those chars are still usually to farm at least decently, morg is nigh unkillable and Nasus (if they were both mid, or just morg) could potentially still last quite awhile. Possibly a tristana-nasus combo mid as well with a morg on top? Trist could really dominate early game with tanky help like nasus can bring. Sorry I only read first three pages, so may have already been covered...And bringing the jungler to lane isn't that much of a waste of a summoner spell anymore with improved smite...although still not as good as other spells potentially
Tristana sez:
CROTCH SHOT!!! PENTAKILL!!!!

I can haz rep?

You can't have 3 support that play as support.

BUT what you can have is a team including multiple caracter often played as support.

For Example you can have :

Solo: Nidalee(not a full support but close)

AP carry(mid): Kayle/Soraka/Morgana/lux

AD carry(bot): Caitlyn(she is the most controlling among the AD carry)

Babysitter/support(bot): any full support

Jungle: Taric (an ad jungle one)

Thanks to jhoijhoi for the sig(s)!
