I should be glad that people stopped instantly locking in AD carries.

It means that when I play Blitzcrank, my Twitch teammate is actually good.

So I logged in yesterday afternoon, and lo and behold I have a free 10-win IP boost active on me. Was Riot in a generous mood? Do I have a secret admirer? Did I sleepwalk to the computer and buy an IP boost in the middle of the night? In any case, it's nice. Although it means I'm not playing much right now, because I want to milk it for all it's worth by getting 1 win a day and doubling that "1st win of the day" bonus.

Also finally got around to buying Taric, and he's reinvigorated my love of supports. Had three solid wins with him, with a great many slow claps and attaboys from my teams, even a few new friend requests. Taric + Ahri = top lane domination. I stun 'em, she bursts 'em, and lo and behold, we're 6/0 by the 8:00 mark. I know I'm doing something right when I'm 4/3/14,  our total K-D ratio was 18/11, and the enemy surrenders 5-0. I literally had a piece of *every* kill (about 2/3 of them were Ahri, the remainder either me or Viktor mid when I came to countergank).

I played a game few hours ago. The enemy team had an AD Taric at top, Soraka at mid, and Akali & Corki at bot, plus Skarner jungling. The game was... Weird. Our Irelia lost to Taric early on, and our Yi gave first blood to Soraka because he underestimated her damage big time.



And I got the 10 win IP bonus too. Not sure from where, though.

Apparently, it was a gift from Riot due to the problems with the Hecarim patch.

y u have yi mid? D:

Melee with no ranged abilities fails bigtime in mid lane. I can imagine the Yi though.. "Oh look, purple stardust...teehee, should I get you a pony to OH GOD IT BURNS" 

[frostshotgg]

Yeah, anybody who's played in the last 30 days got a free 10 win IP boost. It's because of how horrendous the Hecarim patch was. Delayed by a couple weeks, and still insanely buggy.

On a different topic: Does anybody have a handy list of what supports compliment what ad carries?

Actually I was at mid as Morde, Yi jungled. He tried to gank with less than 200 hp when Soraka had 500-600, thinking he can kill her. As it turns out, Soraka had Infuse, Starcall and Ignite up. Yi dies, and I get blamed for not burning my ignite for no good reason helping.

Nunu/Kog is a thing.
Graves/Soraka is a thing.
Taric/Caitlyn or Sivir is a thing.
Blitzcrank or Leona/all except maybe Caitlyn is a thing.
Janna/Kog is pretty popular, too.
Vayne/Taric is pretty dangerous if they catch you.

You can mix and match combinations, but these ones typically have some sort of synergy. (Janna/Nunu slows combined with Kog'Maw barrage. Taric+Caitlyn/Vayne CC. Soraka+Graves infinite mana harass.)

[Bordellimies]

Blitz/Leona and Caitlyn is a goddamn scary combo if you ask me. Leona has 3 stuns, Blitz has a knockup and a pull, and Cait has her snare. Correct usage lets them shut down the enemy carry for an immsensely long time.

[penguinofhonor]

Taric goes well with Caitlyn for the same reasons.

[Bordellimies]

Taric goes well with Caitlyn for the same reasons.

I guess everyone with a good stun goes with Caitlyn.

[Knirisk]

Well, I don't actually like Caitlyn all that much. Range is great, yeah.

But I'm still grumpy about the win-lane-win-game meta. It's more boring than the Dignitas sustain champ games at IPL4.

Aside from that, what's everybody's opinions on Jax? I never see him anymore, so I'm thinking about learning him possibly in the jungle or in lane. His itemization just baffles me especially.

6 gunblades oh wait league of legends is ruined forever nevermind

[frostshotgg]

Jax is better as a jungler right now. I build him pure hybrid. GB/RB/TFx4
