I main support, but never played Ranked before. I'm fine playing normal PvP, ARAM and bots to try new things out ^^
In general, I think I'm average with the game. I enjoy gaming, but I'm not very good at it. When I go 1vs1 against my boyfriend I practically always lose. Okay, 9 out of 10 time. Or 19 out of 20. Anyway, I can land my skills correctly, but somehow I lack the aggressiveness and accuracy in a 1vs1 to keep doing skills at the correct time, my boyfriend is faster with his keys, ensuring he hits me while I barely miss him. It's funnier to play against my sister, we're more equal in that matter.
I mostly support in games, ranging from healer to tank (favorites being Nami and Leona, but also play Tresh, Sona, Janna, Karma), as well as some off-supports that can work very well (Lissandra, Zyra).
I can also play mid with certain champs (Ahri, Lux, Nidalee are some. Currently trying to pick up Orianna).
Carry I can play as well, but I'm not very good at it, though gradually improving. My champion pool there is very limited though XD Gotta work on those last-hitting-minions skills of mine.
Yes, I also have more favored champions, but they are mostly mids and supports. Plus, I like to help others, get map vision etc in general. So that's why I main support.
Gotta love how most players wanna do damage and claim all roles but support, I'm fine with that, since I wanna go supp, hahaha. I'm more passive, so jungle really isn't something for me >< I can do aggressive support as well, but only when I know my adc will back me up and not continue simply hitting minions. Believe me, that happened more than once.
Maybe we could play together sometimes, but my friends also play LoL so most of the times I play I play together with them
I love playing support, but yes, it can be unrewarding. Especially when you have players in your team that head off in the midst of battle, and you do you best to heal and stun your enemies, which you succeed in but your teammate dies, they'd still blame you... Ugh. Somehow as support you're often highly underrated by your team, but if something does happen, it is your fault.
And don't get me started about the wards. I love the trinkets, so we have more vision overall, but somehow some people still call to me 'place more wards!' and I'm like, I have placed three, I cannot place more on the map. They themselves never plop one down and whine about the lack of vision. Tsk.
You should try Dota 2 then. It will blow your mind the amount of things you can do for your team, and against the enemy team as a support hero. Supports easily have the highest game impact in the early game. It is also one of the most unforgiving roles, as you have no items that give you gold for supporting like Coin. That means you have to be very efficient and effective with minimal resources. Also, you lose gold on death, which makes for a very tough support game if you die once or twice. The upside is the that when you succeed, you know you made a gamechanging impact on the game.
I hate it more when they want to go to my lane and all are raging like DONT KILL MINIONS!!!1.. erm excuse go help someone else but sure i can stay level 9 the rest of the game..
I'm going to try out Dota 2 and see what I think of it. Since I didn't have a Steam account for awhile, I didn't bother, but now I kind of want to see how it works.
I just started playing league in august of 2013 but let me tell you I went IN.
I played a lot of DotA back in middle school, but I'm really not a fan of DotA 2. I just prefer league.
Add my summoner for a game or two! I usually support but I'm a pretty good jungler as well. I'm trying to find some people to play ranked with because I've fallen from silver I to V due to way too many trolls and it's super hard to carry from support. I'm at a pretty average high silver, low gold range skill level... Anyway definitely add me for a game!
I picked up braum yesterday. good lord. he is just so good. I typically main morgana (that cooking mama sinful succulent skin is too good with my name ayooo) and nami support but will occasionally play thresh (I avoid playing him because I'm butthurt that I missed out on championship thresh... my main adc friend irl always plays soul reaver draven and I just can't play thresh without wishing we had matching skins :l) I've been playing a ton of trundle both support and jungle since it's warm out and the lil' slugger skin makes me want to play ball and enjoy a beer.
looks like everyone from the last few pages main support! I guess it takes a certain kind of person to support. I don't like top lane because you have to go deep every game and be in their face and merciless the whole time and that's just not a play style I enjoy (except for this one time when I went 12/0 as AD nami top against a ryze buwahaha). Unless of course I'm jungling lee... as soon as you put on muay thai lee and some really serious music, you know it's time to dominate. That's the reason I stick to top laners like shen who disrupt the usual intensity of the lane.
I guess I'm just gauging if other people feel similar towards roles other than support?
