    I dont play adc at all but my understanding is it's the most mechanically intensive role and kalista is particularly challenging even for an adc

    Please consider the environment before printing this post.

    Yes. Why are you wanting to play her?
    Due to crafting, I am now an owner of Infernal Susan.

    Me too! I also have an Omega Squad Teemo but coincidentally no longer any essence for it. *sometimes lucky*

    It just looks like a ton of fun, and if I could get the hang of it, all her mobility could make up for my constant positioning problems

    Ugh, support Taliyah paired with Lucian is fucking painful to lane against.

    If she lands a good W your life bar disappears.

    I didn't found any skin shard i wanted to craft so far - i only turn it into essence (i have 1650 now) or into mystery skins (got 2 skins worth 520 rp, so it was not worth it). When i will get shard for some Legendary Skin i will be ready, which will propably happen sometime ine next 10 years considering my luck.

    Here I sit with a bunch of keys and no chests.

    I've currently narrowed my roster down to Trist, Vayne, Shyv and Fiora, just to get some mastery and chests.

    You're limited to four chests a month and in my own personal experience, you get key fragments a lot slower than you get chests.

    People with limited playtime or limited champion pools might not though? I always have way more chests than keys but I play tons of different champs in normals, and then sometimes even if I'm bad, I'm often queuing with a friend on their main champ or something so I end up earning a chest cause they get an S. Especially good with husband who just spams Kayle and reliably gets S's, and then I can play whatever and get a chest. Although if he wants to get the free loot he should probably play something different at some point...

    also I lost 2 more games of ranked yesterday; I don't even know. Gotta play some normals and focus on fundamentals and see what's going on. Also mayyybe play solo for a tiny bit cause something happened to my duo queue botlane synergy.

    Wouldn't that just prove my point more? Playing less means less wins, meaning less key fragments in between chests unless they one trick a champion and never queue with others.

    You know...

    I really, really, really want to like playing Leona. I know she's capable of being good, I like everything about the character. And I like big engage all-in champs(Shen and Ali, for instance). Something about her though, I feel like I die a lot more and contribute a lot less than other supports.

    Probably due to her really needing a team that's coordinated and will follow up on you doing things. Especially since she hits like a wet noodle if you're building tanky, and there's champs that can be even *tankier* than her while still doing noticeable damage. Wonder if she'd be up for a bit of a kit tuning sometime.

    Also I need to try just going AP on her so she's got some bite.

    I definitely should, yes. I think my support bro and I need to temporarily part ways and git gud and then get back together for some quality LP gain with our newfound skill. Or something like that. I'll probably play ranked tonight after a normals or two (although there's some chance I will have to drive to Philly instead, but probably not), so if you're on I'll invite.

    You really have to itemize properly with her. Recognize what the enemy team is doing and how you need to stop it through itemization.

    I saved a yi with my heart of the mountain shield - it blocked a fatal tower shot. He doesn't say anything, just goes b in sight of the enemy. so fizz comes and kills him and he can't escape.

    And i just got verbally abused before a normal game, because i didn't let some kid have a position i got (because i never play a position that i would have to play instead). Obviously, he was from Poland, like me. The fact that my countrymen are propably the most hated nation in LoL simply saddens me, because it's completely understandable - i hate them too, and im one of them!

    I just don't get why would you curse for a minute at a random guy from the internet for such a little reason. Game dodged.

    Isnt it basically equivalent to one of the default masteries now?

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    I played a game as zyra support where we absolutely crushed the laning phase. Our opponents couldn't even get near the creep line without taking a ton of plant and Caitlyn damage. Plants and traps everywhere, man. It was beautiful.

    Then when we got to teamfights, the other 3 would consistently get Tibbers stunned and die, and all I heard was "GG this zyra never helps" "Zyra do something" etc.

    I tried to explain that there's literally nothing I could do about that, but nope. My fault.

    How are people finding Zyra right now? Her random seeds aren't always the best thing, but when they drop in useful places, it gets a little silly. Are we still building Liandry's and Rylai's into whatever?

    It's so awesome getting a tiny amount of AoE damage after using a spell (Alistar)

    Or a passive that makes your damage abilities worthwhile (Tahm Kench)

    Or something happening every third hit (everyone in the past year)




    More seriously, why do you think it's poorly designed? I think it works very well for what it does. Leona is my go-to support champion when I'm angry and want to body some fools people.

    So much of her damage is tied into it, so she's stuck in bot lane with no real chance of jungling, laning, etc. She is designed so she can't be effective alone.

    i just saw the other, perhaps hopelessly optimistic end of "damn, dudes, please just surrender so we can move on for fuck sake we can't win you have no idea what's going on team to team we just don't have the factual, objective numbers we need to push this shit out and beat their champions and item builds right now".

    to be fully clear, i have now experienced the very reason why someone playing this horrible video game might decide to vote "no" when the surrender prompt pops up.

    we have our third tier towers backed up by two lanes filled with minions and our very last base towers and they have a mere two base towers and no inhibitor in the middle lane and please christ just focus and stop getting tilted and... please don't feed mid lane because you're pissed... please stop... guys, seriously...

    at this point, i feel like typing all kinds of legitimately terrible things that would legit make me a piece of shit, but i don't.

    at least most of the time. i've sometimes typed "ffs" and "fine just end it fuck dudes" in chat and i can't, in all honesty, admit that i haven't gotten that ragey. full disclosure. it's seriously pathetic that i've done that. i am not an emotionally untouchable boulder placed atop a rocky outcropping somewhere within the place of emptiness. i am not able to survive the trials of mu. i tend to freak out the moment my eyes are taken away,

    that is absolutely not excusable. it honestly helps no one. reacting aggressively to any situation, be it one created by the game itself or one created by another player... just don't do that shit. if you give in to that urge, you have successfully hurt your own team's chance of winning and have damaged your teammates' personal morale. this game is set up in a way that encourages your opponents to tilt your team; doing that job for them means you are playing league of legends wrong. i have no idea if i just used a semicolon correctly, but stopping the flow of my own points and wrecking my own bullshit is what i do for a living.

    regardless, how i've opened this post has honestly just been an excuse to vent. i have posted some lengthy lines regarding the whole "don't be a raging, defeatist asshole" thing in here and it's honestly taken me this long to scramble together the reason why someone might have a legitimate reason to occasionally rage like some sort of bloodthirsty goblin. i've felt the frustration before, but it's taken ages for me to parse all of those crazy emotions in a way that's even remotely rational.

    fucking league of legends, man. i don't even want to know what kind of shredded wreckage my patience would have turned into had i played the original dota allstars back in the day.

    Yep. Its not fun to be so dependent on teammates popping it. She has no damage potential outside of that, so if she's on her own she's about as danagerous as a minion (unless she has spellblade stuff, or lots of AD, etc)

    So much of her damage is tied into it, so she's stuck in bot lane with no real chance of jungling, laning, etc. She is designed so she can't be effective alone.

    I don't think it's bad for her kit to be designed around such a concern. Her jungling and laning would be crazy if she could proc her own passive (they could let her proc it on monsters herself; they do it with other abilities), so she would have to be fairly ineffective as a support to be balanced around those other roles. I don't think all supports need such things on their kits, but as design space I think it's worthwhile to have some champions like that. As another example, I hate Kalista's design overall but do like the bonding aspect of her kit.

    Now Skarner? Skarner's design is horrible.

    The difference is that Kallista threatens you alone still - having her partner around makes her stronger, but isn't required.

    I don't mind a champ being stronger around teammates, but Leona has too much of her threat pushed to the passive.

    I've gotten to that point as Leona, too, where I can threaten people.

    The real difference in your example, though, is just the champion roles. Kalista is expected to have damage; Leona is not. I can still lock you down for a long time and not die for a while if I'm playing Leona 1v1. That's just the nature of the role. Nunu's not going to kill anyone by himself if he has no damage, either (barring brush shenanigans).

    i feel like if i want to try and honestly climb the ladder i really ought to pick champions that are more than just "fun"

    leona is often mentioned as a ladyface who gets dumped into a collection of peepz that are obvious picks

    there's the boring several adc selections that have been chosen every season for months, there's a few supports or whatever, and maybe whoever the fuck it is in top lane blah blah same ol' shit every meta and every tournament

    i remember leona coming up a lot and even if she's not grabbed that often lately i want to try and learn her simply because it seems like a solid idea

    what should i max first? i usually choose my stun first simply because i remember playing dragon knight a lot in dota, yet lol is obviously not dota and already we have understood a very solid reason as to why i am awful at league of legends.

    all unfunny bullshit aside, what should i try building with leona? skills and items. just some general ideas. i appreciate the advice that i get from here, so i figure i should ask in this thread. i've played a couple of games as her and now the next step is to seek some advice from real people.

    zac it is then.

    i seriously just play such disgusting games with zac where i cannot parse how much ass gets kicked.

    it's too much. let's be real: its too much because players at my completely poop skill level just don't know how to deal with zac. i say "skill level" not to brag about how awesome i am, but to simply display how low i am on the ladder right now.

    shame that will change once i break into the real ranks. plot twist: i play normals constantly and i'm not even level 30 atm. fucking pathetic. i love talking about my games, but damn, i'm not even partially mushroom deep into the actual solo queue system at all. my last league account was in there somewhere, but this one is not. i had to restart from "noob zero" with no ip or rp or anything on this account due to losing my login and email information. not that it matters, you see. i was completely awful before back in season two or three and i have only just barely started playing league of legends for real within the last six or seven months, perhaps, which means that i know jack shit and i may as well just be a blindfolded white belt with butt cheeks for hands.

    i can at least pretend i'm doing well in the sewer league, though. these butt cheek fists will fart all over your face provided i'm not required to try and last hit in lane. when it comes to that, i'm still working on the mechanics.

    fuck that garbage, though. the top of the bullshit tunnel is "rat king", dawg, and i will rat king those fucking ninja turtles all day. (please jesus dont watch that second match oh god i am so bad it's all a joke i mean it im a fucking hacksaw jim duggan level of bad).

    i cannot even pretend to be good enough to rank high atop the crap shuffle, but i can at least guarantee that leonardo ain't gonna pull that dragon sweeping katana shit on me nuh uh fool you're gonna wake up in the morning with an ass so sore you would swear your name is baxter stockman.

    EDIT: another good champion? hecarim? do you happen to play fighting games a lot?

    hecarim is good at what you may call "footsies".

    ward like a support when it comes to the weird angles people don't tend to anticipate.

    if you play support a lot, you very much understand the bizarre areas that wards get placed. just here and there, y'know?

    those few pixels over this way or that way; that line of sight gets viewed here in this cone or that cone along this or that angle. i am determined to use a semicolon improperly.

    hecarim has a movement speed advantage. he can burst straight through this place you never even knew was possible. he can flash (or not flash and... )ult straight over a particular ridge or little bit of fog of war that you never expected and holy moltar and zorak ballsacks why am i suddenly dead?

    please buy me hecarim for my 400th birthday.

    for the fucking warmaster horus sixth-hundredth sixty-sixth rebellion anniversary whatever it is what am i even talking about anymore extravaganza

    Leona - level Q first, E, then R>W>Q>E

    Primarily you buy lots of health. W gives a significant resistance bonus, so you can put off buying armor/mr until later when one of their carries get large.
