Something I have noticed, bot lane is really dependent on the support. Anyone can play an ADC half decently, but if your support is retarded then your chances of success go from ok to abysmal. Even being an above average adc doesn't carry a retard.

The jungle xp change is so that the jungler is still level 2 after killing red/blue as they were before the change. Since you can no longer start wolves/wraiths/golems before red/blue you still hit level 2 right about 2:00 after the buffs spawn at 1:55.

Jungler always hit level 2 after just doing red or blue as long as he doesn't split experience with anyone else.

Agree completely. I have two friends who ranked all the time and they usually shift around low silver. They always want to duo with me and it's fun to play with them but everytime we ranked I'm first pick and they are always last pick, which usually means 90% of the time they will have to support. Except, they never fucking pick a regular support. They always have to kill lane Nidalee support, or teemo support (lol i got shrooms for wards) or Garen because of the silence or something else really stupid. It then gets bad because nope, they never buy Sightstone, they never buy aura items, it's always drings into deathcap or something like maejas first.
Then all game, (we're in vent together btw) they bitch about the ADC being trash or the jungler not helping at all. They end up getting ganked constantly mainly because there isn't a single ward bottom.
Lately, I just say fuck it, let's do normals because god damn it gets irritating.
Sell your account!
I have a friend similar to that, but he has quite a bit of game mechanic knowledge. If I decide to do ranked with him I say, "sure dude let's do that, on the condition you play thresh or elise because those are the only champs your decent at."sidian_sl said:
So I played some more Sona/Janna last night. I have a hard time with Sona because I'm way to aggressive and I keep getting killed. I play well once I concentrate on just floating behind on team fights. I really enjoy her during the laning phase. It's real fun because I love her poke.
Finally got the hang of Janna last night. Played some normals at level 30 and managed a 3/2/25 score with her. Still need to learn to drop my W more often.
I'm going to play more Thresh soon so my buddy can learn to play some lantern with Thresh to really get the worth out of it. I still think Janna is harder than Thresh because Thresh can take a beating, Janna requires more timing and precise shots with her Q and Ult.

I really want to buy Taric, Leona and either Alistar or Lulu to mess around with now. Fucking LoL making me spend money. I went up against a decent Alistar last night and it made me want to try it out.
I've never played against a good Taric yet.
I've played against good Leonas before which makes me curious. Is it possible to bot lane a Lux?
edit:
I'm content with cycling through Sona, Janna and Thresh at the moment though.

Thought about it but its old, unused, and doesn't have any of the newer stuff really.
Also, CLG drama is lulz.
Lux support isn't tricky, just land your slows and your binds and transition into damage late. Teemo support sucks, don't do it.

You can get Alistar for free with a skin for him bysubscribing to them on youtube.
Similarly, you can get Tristana free with a skin forliking them on facebookalthough it can be a little buggy andsometimes requires a workaround.
Alistar and Taric are really boring to play. Taric's the stronger of the 2 but they both just sit around a lot waiting for an opportunity to do something. Alistar can make more plays and he's flashier but his plays are never huge. They generally consist of using everything to peel for the ADC or using his full combo just to single 1 person out. Then back to doing nothing.
If you like playing aggressive you'll probably fall in love with Leona although if you're with a random ADC and they don't know how to play with her as support it's easy for her to become pointless. Opportunity comes up to go all in, Leona goes all in, ADC is sitting back at tower farming minions oblivious, Leona's now out of position but is so tanky with her W she just walks away twiddling her thumbs. She's my favorite support by far but I'll never play her except with friends and even then we usually don't play her often. Her best lane partner I feel is Varus as they can just punish anyone with poke, zoning, and CC for kills. Varus has huge range and poke which can get them down a little bit. After that Leona can initiate and stun them long enough for Varus to finish. Varus isn't the burstiest ADC but all of his abilities deal damage so a full combo can still hurt quite a bit and you can't miss his Q when they're Leona stunned. Your bot lane also then brings 2 AE stuns that can be devastating.
And as said above, never Teemo support. It makes no sense why people even think he's viable. Almost every champion in the game can support better than him. I'll also toss in Fiddlesticks as another fun kill lane support. Fear can get kills easily and the silence is so annoying and damaging. At 6 they usually are just too afraid to do anything back at you.

Hmm Fiddle support? Interesting, never played him but I'll have to check him out. Thanks for the unlocks.
I'd say lux's pros as support would be good escapes from ganks and the huge shield if max'd early. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't play zyra/lulu over lux in the support role.
