Top 5 things that Diamond/ Challenger players fail in LOL





So, there are many people that say that Diamond/Challenger players can only play one lane and on some level that is mostly true because they prepare for heroes usually with simmilar characteristics and gameplay. So, if they are so good with some heroes on a certain lane, what do they actually fail at? I mean, they do have a higher understanding of the game more than other players. League of Legends is a very competitive game ( kind of nasty) so players tend to flame more than they play or consider themselves good because K/D/A eventhough the damage dealt is shitty. Diamond players are no exceptions and if you think, they flame in silver, wait till you get to Diamond.




So here it is, the 5 things Diamond/Challenger players fail at:

1. A different lane than his main one. I once saw a Challenger that was main mid who played adc and i can confirm that League of Legends had it's 3/10 surprise.

Another example is MissCoookiez who is used to play in 3 vs 3 and has a ranked team there placed in a high league, not sure if Diamond or Challenger. When she plays summoner rift as an adc it\'s the whole world makes you wonder how she reached that rank in Twisted Treeline. Her link is here on Twitch

2.A big problem with Diamonds is that they tend to flame more than silvers and also they tend to afk more. They have this idiotic ideea that by their standards if the game is lost, they have no reason to play it anymore so they leave the game or they afk. I guess is one of the reasons you hear Diamond players in League of Legends being oftenly banned or chat restricted. They just don'\t have the patience.

3. They don't know how to have fun. If you place a Diamond players in ARAM, he will type surrender if he doesn't like the odds or be in a military mode to try and win it. Shit son, League of Legends may be competitive but its not ALL competitive.

4.Superiority issues. Nobody says Diamonds and Challengers aren't good but sometimes they are just so fucking annoying. They expect everyone they encounter to play like them because they have reached a high standard but just don't realise that some are Silvers or Gold for a reason and still have a long way to go untill they reach that standard.

5.Hmm! Another thing they fail at is life. They spend so much time in the game that they forget to just go outside and have fun. Most of them stream but hey! There is a life outside League of legends and it\'s worth trying it also.

So those are my top 5.. like and follow if you like them :) ( Sounds like a load of bullshit xD )

League of Legends: Main support on damage, worth it or not?

We all know that there are some epic league of legends heroes that are supports but do a helluva lot damage if you build them ap or ad wise. While i agree that we can always have some fun doing that, the question is simple: Is it worth to have more damage dealt then your AD carry or AP Carry? League of legends gives you the opportunity to have builds directed towards AP but it also gives you suggestions of the items that you should have.

Ok, let's take it easy and analyze a bit a few situations where the support build is better than the ap build.
The support build on League of Legends heroes usually contain activable items that grant you the following: SighStone grants wards, Talisman of Ascension grants speed, Locket of the Iron Solari grants shield and magic resist to the champions around, Zeke's Harbringer grants increased crit strike, ability power for 8 seconds and Banner of Command that grants unit immunity to magic damage and stronger minions ( these are usually the more popular items).

Given that we have this information let's analyze an ap support or ad. First of all if the support goes ap/ad/tanky it will miss out on these great items that could keep an AD Carry or an AP Carry alive to deal more damage. What most supports don't understand is that building sighstone does take a lot of damage from your build and unless you're fed and want to finish the game quicker, there's no use to build ability power instead of support items. However you build your support with damage items he will never reach the damage that your AD Carry could have given if he has a few more seconds to live. At that point, he could have 300 damage with a critical chance of 30% and a critical damage of 800. Do the supports think that they can actually reach that damage with an already built sighstone? The only solution to reach that damage is to actually have a really long game as veigar support with a delayed damage.

I'm not saying that i don't like players that actually go damage supports. Not at all, though on the long run it is just not as usefull as a main support can be with sustain items for the carries. While League of Legends has built the heroes to actually have the power to kill the enemies, it does take a lot of the burst when you have an item that doesn't contribute.

So what do you guys think? Should you play the heroes as a sustain support or as a damage support?
