[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Vynertje] [quote=OTGBionicArm] What about [[Jarvan IV]] as a support? [/quote] High risk - super high reward. Jarvan has MASSIVE damage early game but his EQ is easily interrupted by something like a thresh flay, or just sidestepped. He's really vulnerable to poke and doesn't get that tanky without items. On a different note, his late game as a support isn't as devastating as [[leona]]. [/quote] Jarvan is like Leona but you trade damage for CC. He also offers some nice poke through [[Dragon Strike]]. Overall I've been really succesful with it.[/quote]

[/quote] Would like to add that he's less tanky than [[leona]] because he doesn't have any massive resistance seriods, making him as risky as he is.[/quote]

[/quote] His W grants him up to 510 shield though, which is still pretty neat, especially combined with the free armour from E.[/quote]

[/quote] Yes but you're not maxing it till relatively late into the game and doesn't give that much all the time while you max leona W from the start making her super tanky really early on and it being a lot more reliable as well. @ drakon136 my point exactly.[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]I'd say armor and magic resist that scale with armor and magic resist make you tankier than an unreliable, if powerful, shield.[/quote]

[/quote] Do you know the radius you have to be in to get the shield bonus? If the radius isn't large, it's pretty unlikely that you're going to get a 5-man worth of shield and you'll probably only get a 2-man equivalent shield.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][quote=Vynertje][list] [*] People below Diamond are allowed to answer questions, but always take such answers with a grain of salt. You can recognize diamond players by their flairs, next to their username. [*] I will try to keep a list of all previously answered questions! [/list] [/quote] I think you should have a list of diamond+ MobaFire members, listed via their ranking. This would help users if two diamond players have a disagreement about something (Diamond I or Challenger, for example, would be more knowledgeable than Diamond V). This could also work as a credits section as active diamond members answer questions - a way to promote their profile pages and thus their guides. Definitely keep the OP updated with previous questions. Too bad Q&A isn't an "embed" sort of code; it'd make the forums more interesting.[/quote]

[/quote] Did some research and the radius on his shield's slow is 600 so assuming that if you get hit by the slow, you'll be counted as a "nearby enemy" so I think its safe to call it 600.[/quote]
