Support AMA + tier list & some basic tips

[quote=Vynertje][quote=PoisonIvy] 1. Thoughts on [[Vel'koz]]? 2. [[Janna]]'s win rates were incredibly high during season 3, but she had a huge fall since season 4 changes. Do you think it's related to the nerfs she received or to the rise of other supports? [/quote] 1) I've only seen him a few times but I think both his laning phase and late game supportive abilities are sub-par. During lane he isn't really that dominant and late game he only offers some decent damage but no hard CC at all (which is a very big con for a support) 2) Her global passive was one of the reasons her winrate was that high. I think back then she also synergized better with the meta carries (caitlyn in particular).[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=IceCreamy] I'm also curious where you'd place [[Gragas]], as even in LCS he's played as support. Going back in time, we've also seen [[Zyra]], [[Fiddlesticks]] and [[Elise]] played as supports, but I'm not sure if you should include them. Thanks for the rune/mastery pages setup, very helpful :) [/quote] Gragas: Haven't seen him in solo queue at all. I know his laning phase is dominant but his late game is meh. He's better top for sure though. Fiddle: fear got nerfed, gg fiddle support Elise: was only played support cause she was broken as fuck You're welcome! EDIT; sorry for triple post[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=Vynertje] Do mushrooms count as wards? [/quote] Yea they do.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]opinion on [[Soraka]]?[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] opinion on [[Soraka]]? [/quote] Can't say, never seen her after they nerfed mid raka. Might play her in a normal soon to check back on her. Old soraka was tier-3 tho. Once you know how to deal with her heal in-lane she's easy to deal with.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]yea, just curious as she seems to still be playable in some match-ups.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Cool warding site :P 29.7 wpg seems about right as a support. Edit: Oh, only 5 games tracked. Probably not representative. [IMG width=500]http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h380/thejhoijhoi/ward.png[/IMG] Vyn, why is Taric, in your opinion, considered so trash tier?[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]He doesn't excel at anything. His stun is very weak and doesn't do anything outside of lane (and even then only vs targets without escapes), his aura's are only mediocre, he has low range meaning it's hard to get in range to use any spells and finally, has quite high mana costs. So basically, everyone can do his job, but then better.[/quote]
