Description I finally broadened my play style and found out that supporting a carry really sucks. It's so boooooring, but I have fun doing it for some reason. Anyways, some of my friends sat me down and told me what I need to do as a support and I had realized that I was playing as a carry the whole time. I still like my way better though.

haha. love this for the fact i began my LoL career as a tank (tanky garen but my friends assure me im forgiven XD ) but gave that up after buying my 3rd tank with ip (gar -> ali -> mundo) then i whent heavy support (soraka -> sona (personal fave) -> janna -> Lux ) you get the picture then i did my obligatory duty to play ad/ap dps (how dull that was ether you obliterate your enemy in 2 shots or they decimate you fights dont last long enough to enjoy lol) then ive found myself going back to support and my most recent love is playing karma (first panel) ah its so rewarding to know that you are the reason that X survived that karth ult or that you are what enabled your team to heal and push that turret instead of blue pilling. ah yes though not glamorous the real solid support know that while those carries bask in the lime light we are the true 'carries' XD

Supporting has a lot to do with lane control.
Warding so it's safe to fight/ for your ad to cs.
You pretty much have to harass the enemy to make them back away from getting their CS while your AD gets theirs , so the second panel is about right lol
And there are certain supports who should be allowed to get multiple kills, like Leona or Blitzcrank.

IDK i guess i just like playing support. Except when i get an AD who needs babysitting and will die if i go ward. THEN i might take

I hate supporting. I hate buying wards because it drain my gold, and I try to get last hits BECAUSE SUPPORTS NEED GOLD TOO. And my team rages when they all die and I get kills. Sorry I won't go down without a fight, jackasses.

no. you don't need gold. supporters must not touch creeps or kills if someone else can get them. he has philosipher stone, heart of gold and kage lucky pick. one more gold giving item too, but it's useless for supporters. i don't remember it's name tough. i am a bit tired and it's pain in the ass to write big letters at that time.

Yes, I've done it successfully the times I've played it and it's been in pro tournaments.
His Raise Morale is strong, global ult, and harass is really strong.

I didn't say he doesn't. GP supporter is like ad tank Sona: Makes you laugh, but in action you see how strong the build is.

speaking of which i just got done with a game as mega tank Karma XD. the entire team focused me so i figured i might as well have a few laughs so i pumped on the resistance and they would stack on me id hit my bubble and laugh at the rage as we picked up a ace and pushed for win XD.

XD Once I was with \trynda and one of the bad guys was AD tank Soraka. O.O I said HAHAHAH NOOB, but he had more AD than me and was very durable. O.O It's logical if you think about it. I have tried AP carry Soraka and it doesn't go very well since everybody focus me the most AND her benefit for AP is EXTREMELY small. :/

Well yes, Lux is supposed to do that too...

but she should at least pull a few Karma's every once in a while...

I feel like support generally branches into two forms: true supports (which are really passive/sustain carry/ward) and off supports (which don't actually have sustain spells, but are effective at harassing and zoning the opponent's carry).

In the second panel/picture/whatever, is that a wild Garen beating up Vayne?

FlacoSamurai In reply to Chew-no-Kitsune [2012-02-26 17:36:00 +0000 UTC]

Well I got the idea from "Penny Arcade" and "Awkward Zombie" in how they put themselves into the world whether or not the character they represent is a man or woman. the cartoonist remains the same sex, the only difference is that they are wearing the character's clothing or armor or... whatever. So to answer your Question the two in the left panel are Master Yi and Karma. The two people in the right panel are Ashe and Lux.

I play my supports like I play my tanks, in the enemy's face and taking more damage than they ever should be able to manage.

Especially Sona once I've maxed out CDR bonuses.
