So towards Season 4, Riot is making changes especially to these things:

• Visual Upgrades
• Baron changes
• Melee ADC vs Ranged ADC
• Support & Jungle gold income
• Stomped champions back to live
• Balancing

I don't care to read much about things that don't matter my role, because I will know them later on when Riot makes the changes and starts confirming / explaining the reasonings more.

I am however very interested to see how the support changes are going along. I've done some researches and collected red posts and this is what I've come up... Read More

Intro

What is this ****? Stutter step ? Attack move ? Sounds like a magic trick or new dance game, but it's actually really useful tactic that it's killing me not to see people using these. I think this is quite commonly used among silver at least. I don't know about below 30 lvl or bronze, but I'll just address this to anyone.

Attack move in the other hand I don't think is commonly used at all, which also burns me a little from the inside. I'll explain the following 2 strategies however, so no problem if you are not using them at this very moment. These are basically ADC... Read More

First, I'd like to introduce my support tier list, which may differ from your opinion.

All the points below will be from bot lane point of view once again.

Let's start off with a story first to make my point clearly. I've been wanting to climb ELO and I wanted to see what I didn't do properly. I took the chance and played few matches with and against few Diamond I/Challenger bot lanes. I obviously lost every single time more or less, because of positioning.

I was playing quite fair lane Draven, Thresh vs Miss Fortune, Leona.

• Every time I mispositioned, I got punished by basic attack.
• Every time I went to get last hit, I got punished....

So can you ?
- The answer is yes.

You indeed CAN carry bad ADC, within limits of course.
You can prevent ranked losses, because of bad ADC overall for not forcing him/her there, if she/he doesn't feel comfortable there and says so. You can't teach him how to ADC in 1 game, but you can make the experience much better for everyone. You can't do anything for him, you can't tell him how to position or creep, but you can ADVICE him!

Things are easier if you know how to play against poke/balls deep or certain pick bot lanes. I will propably make a another blog post for that, we'll se.... Read More
