Carrying my way with a support in Elo madness

[quote=animorte]I get plenty of wards over time. I also have Gp10 Quints and 0/9/21 (or 9/0/21) for my supports. Money is never an issue. I only use Gp10 items when I roam. I also refrain from dedicating my life to pure support in solo que. Can't rely on people. My way works excellent for me and yours for you. :)[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I definitely go gp10 quints for that cash. 3 of them ;) since I play Taric balls to the walls like a leona-ish support I go 0/21/9 on him. Not as much cash from masteries but way more durable. I actually lost another taric game last night. My "modern" score being 7/2. Then some biatch from the other team stole taric next game and my ad announced he was going twitch. Since Alistar was banned I went balls to the walls Leona instead since I knew Twitch would need all the protection he could get. All lanes started out half decent but then their Karthus turned 6 during one of our ganks bot. He got a double and their cait one which kind of turned the lane against us. I spent all the time I could to protect rat and did pretty well even though he insisted on facetanking every cait q she ever threw out. In the end we won from me and mid lux combining stun snare damage lots of times. I set them up and she killed them. What I feel is that a leona lane needs more coordination than a taric lane. If an offensive move is is failed you can always go back to turret and heal with Taric and with leona you win the engagement or die. Btw animorte, when taric pops w he only loses personal bonus and not aura. So at w lvl 5 it is always 30 bonus armour to all including himself and then another 30 if w is up[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Ah, the specifics of it. :) Lux/Leona is an amazing combination because you can put their passives together. So much extra damage.[/quote]

[quote=Dexploratio]Eh you're saying lots of KSing like it's a good thing? You're not suposed to get the kills as support you know :p[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]If you already are getting your carry and jungle fed, getting a few kills on a tanky support isn't bad. Carry getting 8/0/2 and support getting 2/0/8 is imho better than 10/0/0 and 0/0/10. This way I end up being tanky useful way earlier and this benefits the whole team. But there is only like 1 or 2 kills in my ranked games as taric I intentionally stole when carry could have taken. The rest are from teamfights where my w burst did the last hit on someone or early in lane where I do my best to save my carry and he dies leaving 1 enemy alive but low enough for me to finish. If we are facerolling it is fun to try and ks though![/quote]

[quote=animorte]The only time I ever get kills as Taric are when somebody on the enemy team is dumb enough to channel a spell while I am on their side of the map. Flash + stun + god mode burst = dead squishy. I end up carrying half of my Nidalee support games though. It's often effortless.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]But you do pop w and ulti in teamfights right? But the other way around ofc. Never get a kill that way?[/quote]

[quote=animorte]With his burst, sometimes it's hard not to, especially if you actually manage to catch the squishies in it.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]I was thinking about this thread when I saw this game. This is ks at it's best. Except for once duel with voli where i was alone. [img=http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/hraufnir/SCprotaricgame2.png] Oh and watch their vaynes comment. I am kinda proud ;)[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Taric is easily one of the best supports. But even Taric can't win games when you have Boots of Swiftness Olaf jungle :([/quote]
