If anyone wants to see something funny, Sirhcez is playing with a custom Singed skin. It's... creative. And the animations are pretty hilarious.

This is my second favorite custom skin. First being GoodGuyGarry's Goku Lee Sin skin

Two straight weeks of flirting with finally being at a 50% win rate (like, usually within 1-2 games but never more than 4 away). Considering I was like -20 at one point this is a major win for me or the system is working as intended

-1 right now and in a fun game

Switch Athene's for Mikael's, forget about Lich Bane, swap that out for any utility/tank item, Locket, Randuins, Frozen Heart, even Zhonya's or Ardent Censer, swap the Banshee's for one of those too unless you're getting caught often. It's not that Lich Bane is a bad item but if you're seriously building damage every single game you're missing out on a shitload of opportunities to actually shine as a support. Also, upgrade that Spellthief into FQC as soon as possible.

At the very least do yourself a big favor as a support main and a) learn WHEN to buy Mikael's and b) learn when to USE Mikael's (or if you're me, remember to use Mikael's in a somewhat effective manner).

Buy pink wards too, pink wards can provide vision for unreal lengths of time if they go unnoticed.

At his level two out of every five pink wards you drop last an entire game, another two go for 10+ minutes, and the last one you get noticed dropping and it seems to be a 50/50 chance they take it down immediately or not.

I have had a better time the last few days saying "I will use Mikael's on whoever gets x'd", X being a Thresh hook, Morg binding, Ashe arrow, etc. This is a lot easier in the skirmishing stages before a teamfight but even in a crowded fight it's easy to see the giant loving arrow pop up and "oh poo poo 222222222 on Graves".

In my mind, Mikaels in only worth it if you actually remember to use the active. This is not a given in bronze and silver. If you don't use Mikaels active regularly, and if you have no intention of doing so (say, if you prefer to try and improve other areas of your play, which in bronze is legit), then by all means, buy Athenes or Morello. You'll have more of an impact that way. But do keep in mind that once you get "good" (high silver and over), then you should buy Mickaels and learn to use it.

In that case you should buy it while you're bad (low bronze and lower) and learn how to use it there too

I had that happen last night, I've slogged through a massive win steak to get to Silver promo's, and as soon as I hit those promos the player quality dropped measurably, and before the "If you were so good you could carry them" brigade come out, it wasn't just on my team, but all around I was seeing a lot sloppier play from the Silver 4/5's than I was playing with the Bronze 1/2's getting there, and that just made me even more annoyed that I lost promo's.

I fell down to Bronze V despite going 7-3 in placements (given my subsequent record it's entirely justified though) and I think my favorite thing is how everyone thinks they're some sort of LCS caliber shotcaller, and how tllty people get over trying to assert their dominance as the shotcaller. Just lost a 5v4 after taking the first inhib because my team came down with a serious case of "gently caress you, you're not my dad. don't tell me what to do."

Hence my IGN, noushutupdad. But if you're stuck there just follow 'em on the not entirely suicidal calls and make sure to keep dragon calls fresh in their heads. I just follow the same pattern every game with "3m drag, 2m drag, 1:30 drag, 1m drag, need presence, get the gently caress over here, goddamnit stop chasing Nidalee"

URF Leona is some of the most fun I've had in league in a while. Nonstop W explosions, zenith blade everywhere, 1.25s stun on a 2.2s CD and 12 second ultis. Plus every team I've faced off against is at least 4/5 AP so build a Locket which is on a 12s CD and live for days

edit - also I went tryhard one game with Lux and put out so much poo poo I think I gave one of my enemy laners PSTD. I was flinging my W out on cooldown at his face and he flashed away from it three times

Azir is batshit insane in urf because his passive scales with all 80% of the CDR and you get crazy attack speed straight from level 1. Also being able to reposition all 3 soldiers ever 1.5 seconds is like having a really wide nidalee spear that does max damage at any range.

My team got fuckin' melted by an Azir earlier, he was pushing down mid inner less than five minutes after the start. We ended up getting stomped that game (Ashe is not as good as I was expecting in URF)

Gowby w/r/t that 15 minute dive that went south, y'all needed better vision control there. Ezreal's movements when Kha came through tri makes me think it was warded. Rek'sai and Ekko responding immediately means the same. Clear their poo poo out. You had river / wraith ramp warded but nothing behind dragon wall or tribush or anything. A prerequisite for making plays like that is knowing that you have the numbers advantage. Wander up and drop a ward, maybe Kha drops his on his way through, maybe Ashe players learn to use Hawkshot
