Gragas Top

General observation about Gragas Top.

He is a safe pick. You'll likely be able to farm and harass your opponent a bit, and have a good chance of getting out of ganks between Body Slam and Flash, but you probably aren't going to win lane hard enough to make a difference in the match without jungler help or a mistakes on the part of your lane opponent. So, you have to be on the lookout for Teleport ganks to pull ahead of your lane opponent

Bans:

Coast - Kassadin, Sivir,

Bans:

TSM - Rumble, Kassadin,

More rabble rousin'. This time vs. Shen and Nasus

Both are melee, get tanky, and have some innate sustain, so fairly similar enemies.

Both times I maxed

First things first.

How to Elo Climb:

- Play Katarina.
- It doesn't matter where you are going (mid, top, adc, jungler..) GO KATARINA.
- "Dude, their team have a lot of CC" JUST FCK THOSE GUYS! Katarina 'til I die..
- Duos when you can play Katarina are the best duos. You can sync the engages and **** like that..
- This is the real deal.

I dragged the fat man out of the bar last night for a go round in the top lane. Ended up being vs an Elise. Opted to start Crystalline Flask as I didn't know how this match-up goes.

Running 21-9-0 Masteries with Magic Pen Marks, Armor Seals, MR Glyphs, and AP Quints.

I played this late pretty cautiously because I haven't played Gragas in a while and Elise does have hard CC in the form of Cocoon and chase potential in the form of

So last night I encountered some weirdness with Warwick's ultimate, Infinite Duress.

It seems to be centered around the timing of the ultimate against characters with a blink ability. From what I've observed if they activate their blink ability at the same time that you target them with Infinite Duress they will still shift locations as on a guess the suppression effect of

Playing As Support

In my opinion, many people think that support is a role to support your adc. This is partly right but missing something. Playing as a support isn’t easy at all. It isn’t just about getting op and play by your own. It is really important!!!!
Here are some basics a support should know: (Doesn’t mean 100% right, from my experience only)

Not taking CS from your adc

Not taking KILL from your adc

Feed your adc well

Be aware of GANK

Mindful of the map

Take control of the bush

Don’t die for yourself, but die for your adc

Then, here are some higher level skills you need to play as a support: (Same Here)

Sneaking

Support has to be able to risk his life to feed his adc, and to stay alive. Knowing how to sneak is really important because it gives you an advantage of controlling a lane.

Distracting

Support has to be able to be really ANNOYING and keep distracting enemy adc from farming. Of course, support has to be aware of the enemy jungle while distracting…

So I was playing Velkoz support my last game and I had a Vayne adc she was really fed and decided to over extend into the enemies inhibitor towers. I see that we're going to get banked and I ping her away when I see a pantheon, Lee sin coming through dragon. She realizes well we might die so lets just fight back she ults gets pantheon extremely low he flashes away lee sin goes in using his ward and I knock him up and slow him with Velkoz E and my support item he's really low but a random Blitzcrank pulls her so she can't finish. She starts doing damage tumbles and goes invisible and get blitz low enough for me to accidentally steal both a Jink and Blitzcrank kill with my W then Ahri shoes charms her and realizes she is going to die so Lee sin, Ahri, and Pantheon try to group up by Red buff I still have vision Ahri flashes over the wall I EWQ and she instantly dies to my true damage. I use my ult and kill both Lee sin and Pantheon. I celebrate and then I stand there wondering. Did I ste…
