After the last two losses I was pissed and decided that from now on I'd only play support unless it is taken from me. I wanted things to die violently so I instant locked Leona and was met with an Annie/ Jinx lane against me and Sivir. Doran's Start and Sightstone rush into Mobility Boots and Aegis of the Legion.
Same runes/masteries and skilling order as before.
Game Summary:
Sivir sucked and Warwick carried the game. lolwut.
We were just way too tanky for them no matter what.
Things I learned:
I can carry games this season playing what I know rather than trying to play solo lane carry champions.
Things to improve on:
When in doubt, support and **** **** up.
Questions for MOBAFire:
That Warwick was pretty insane. Thoughts of him this season?
^
At least vi's ult isn't interrupted by virtually everything and her kit doesn't revolve around a single ability.
But hey, I'm sure warwick can **** anyone who never heard of Black Shield, Quicksilver Sash and STUN/SILENCE/KNOCK THE WARWICK

Game 16:
"Adapt or be removed."
Thought Process:
Total ****ing insanity. We needed AP so I played support Viktor, because Annie sounded boring at the moment. Ended up being pointless due to psuedo AP Amumu, but eh he still blended nicely with the comp! Started with Doran's Shield I rushed Frost Queen's Claim, Ruby Sightstone and Sorcerer's Shoes along with my Augment: Gravity to have more control of the battlefield. I then bought a Deathfire Grasp to boost my own and Amumu's damage. It worked out flawlessly. My team doubted me. I think I proved it's viability pretty well. ;p
21/9 masteries and HPen marks, AP quints. I maxed Power Transfer first for harass and Gravity Field second for team fighting.
Game Summary:
While my team wasn't as confident in my abilities with support Viktor, early game went amazingly. Yasuo roamed bot and a baited Leona got caught in the Gravity Field and was killed for first blood. Sadly after this, Renekton started feeding Garen and Yasuo began dying to Kha'Zix.
We did the best we could bot, but Miss Fortune didn't quite know how to avoid Caitlyn harass and died when Leona dove her, but they took so long to do it I got a double kill with my ultimate. After that we played it a bit safer. I was able to poke Leona enough with Power Transfer to keep her from full engaging.
Mid game sucked because the entire enemy team was very fed and they had 2 bot and mid turrets while we had one mid turret down. We lost quite a few team fights because we were scattered and not focusing.
Eventually though something just miraculously clicked and Yasuo was decimating people. The combination of my Gravity Field, Chaos Storm and Amumu's ult was absolutely devastating to their mostly melee team and they lost every team fight after that points.
They seemed to focus me, every fight too. I don't know if it was that I was threatening enough to focus, or just because I was the easiest to kill, but it got them killed by Yasuo every time. Eventually we just took Baron and stormed their base for victory. Hard fought battle.
Things I learned:
Support Viktor is totally legit in S4 with the gold increases. He can harass well, has high base damage and a pretty devastating area CC. Basically a much weaker Annie but eh, he's my favorite champion.
Things to work on:
Was a tad ballsy with my Gravity Field engages. Even with higher range you gotta be careful. ;p
Questions for MOBAFire:
Thoughts on support Viktor? What items would you have built? What's your favorite unorthodox support?
Lux isn't particularly unorthodox anymore.
I enjoy support Yorick and support Gangplank. Especially GP. rush Executioner's Calling and start critting and reducing healing with Qs 8D
