Sadly.. Karma didnt get much better from playing them post changes.

I greatly disagree. Karma is a great support! She is just very differet from other supports in that she has to be an aggressive and active support.

Whereas someone like Sorraka or Janna or Sona can sit back and be backline support, buffing their ADC but never really getting near the action, Karma is much more aggressive about it. She has her shield which boosts movement speed, and two different slows (one of which roots). She is, to me, a brute force support. She wins by making sure the opponent can't get away, bullying people hard enough that they can't sit back behind the minions and hea.. I usually run her with flash and heal (to make up for her lack of healing ability, obviously). Mantra is definitely less important than it used to be. During laning I'll use it with W to self heal, but during team fights it's obviously for group shields.

Masteries, I use 4/4/20whatever. Cooldown reduction in attack, armor in defense, rest in support. Runes are AP/Armor/Scaling MR/Gold per 5 (but could easily do CDR or AP). Start with the trinkets for a philo stone, pots + wards. I usually build a Chalice after boots (merc treads, not CDR boots). Athene's is next followed by Shuralya's Reverie. Caps CDR. Last three build to suit the enemy. In general I use Rabadons for truly silly shields, the ice shard thing that builds from mana manipulator, in case I can't reach my target directly to slow them, and ... something else, I forget. Rylai's for health maybe? Doesn't sound right.


Anyway, Karma is great fun, and I think she really makes a good aggressive support.

Agree with the point about Soraka and Janna, but disagree with Sona. A good Sona is not sitting behind the lines, but is constantly poking the enemy. Of all supports, she has the highest poking threat and letthing her sit around doing nothing is wasting a lot of her potential.

With Sona, Soraka, Janna, Taric, Lux.

They can support better to me the Karma still.

Sona/Lux can poke very well, while lux does it best.

Its prefrence though.

I anybody still having login trouble? I am.

I remember that day, was quite impressed at the size of the wait actually.

The joy of solo que.

Had won 10 in a row.

The last 2 days ive lost 8 and won 2.

Consistantly would get..

2 guys trolling together
someone would rage quit within first 5min.
People would call same lane, then both go due mid/top/jungle, then one would quit if one got the buff over him
constant BS.

Such is the life of ranked queues, solo or duo. Doesn't matter, all it takes it one person to ruin a good thing and for some reason ranked is full of them. I'll clean up on normals without even trying but ranked? Don't worry bro, you're not alone.

Solo queue is mostly luck-based. Get one game-ruiner in the game and you're done for. Sure, that sucks, but once you recognize this and get over it, solo q gets a lot more enjoyable.

Just play for fun/experience. The so called "competitive" players who are knocking around in Bronze league is laughable ... you're there for a reason, you're not a pro, just relax and enjoy the game. Too much flaming going on.

Last ranked game I had an ammumu jungler and I was solo top Garen against Teeemo - so not not good. Their Xin Zhao jungler ganked me 3 times in the first 10 minutes and my jungler ... spent the first 15 minutes between mid and bot and never came top. He then flamed me constantly for deaths but did nothing to assist until after I'd been 2 v 1 pushed off the tower and the first tower was lost ... but he's the pro player of course, all his losses are due to everyone else!

Yeah, pretty much. I usually end up reporting 3-5 players per game. A single "noob" and you will get a report - it's the tribunal's official stance.

From a tribunal position, the whole thing is even worse. You genuinely are ashamed of the human race seeing the reports you are to vote for.

Tribunal in general is a joke. Most of the time unless someone did something very fragrant (a lot more than being calling someone a noob) chances are nothing will happen. Irony, the baddies, trolls, and horrible people, vote in Tribunal too.

Tribunal should not be needed.

If you do not want to listen to someone Rant, ignore function them.

I quote:

Players shouldn’t need to rely on features like the mute button or language filter to engage with other players in positive ways. When a player verbally abuses another player and forces him to use the mute button, they have already created a negative experience for that player.

I understand that most of the time reporting doesn't do anything, but I will take the effort to report toxic players so that they could possibly get what is coming to them. If I don't, then there is no guarentee they won't face some sort of repricussion for their actions.

Its never a positive experience.

You can mute a player and end the harassment right there.

You can report them, and they will go to the next game after game doing the same thing.

If it bothers you.. Mute them.

Misbehaving players do not belong in the game and need to be punished by all means possible. Always report people. Always.

18/20 Punishments. <3 the community.

The players getting temp bans, make a new account. and just Troll new Players starting the game till their main account is unbanned.

18/20 Punishments.. Could easily be 18 trolls in the new player que.

Could just as easily be 18 raging lvl 20+ players.

i get reported around 3 games out 6 anymore. for playing support.

i went 0/6/15 with Leona, giving my ADC 5 kills early.. Top/Junger/Mid failed.. and the 3 of them reported me for 0 kills (4 of the deaths were after laning phase after the others fed their lanes)


Tribunal Reporting system is great!

You're aware of the fact that reporting doesn't do anything unless the Tribunal confirms of the case? O_o

The case doesn't even really make it to tribunal unless you're reported like 4 times in a row anyway.

Depends on the reason. Feeding e.g. has a lower reporting treshold than flaming and remember that your overall reports are taken into consideration, not just the ones from a single game. 8 reports in 5 matches e.g. gets you reported. 8 reports in total.

/e: Level 26 permabanned with Overwhelming Majority. feth yeah, justice been served.

Just the point of everyone reports everyone for everything.. It gets pointless.

That's just not true at all. People bring sth. to the Tribunal by reporting, but they have zero bearing on actual punishment, it's the council who decides, not the players. Had a case yesterday that got 12 reports in 5 games and was Parndoned with Overwhelming Majority.

There's a huge difference between reporting for someone who had a bad game and someone who spams offensive words about his team-mates. There's also a huge difference between deliberate feeding and lots of deaths. I had a volibear support who went 0-5 early and while this was due to them being over aggressive, they were not deliberately feeding just not playing very well. The constant spouting of comments running down the screen is then really offputting ...

If an average/poor player wants to play ranked games then surely that's what bronze 5 is for. So saying, the worst players for flaming are rarely any good themselves and seem to think that every time they die it must be someone else's fault as they're too "pro" to lose themselves. With this kind of mindset then a ban is the only way to teach these players anything at all - so I think there should be far more bans.

They want to start off a second account, fine, They are rank one and playing unranked until their main account becomes available again. Maybe that might start to get the message through.

If we don't report bad behaviour then the reasonable people will all eventually leave to another game and LOL will just be left with a bunch of virgins and keyboard flamers as it's online population. Not fun.
