As far as the assassins go I'd say Susano, Da Ji, Camazotz are all pretty easy to get down. Nemesis, Rata are medium skill (combo dependent but viable if you miss), Awilix/Serqet are by far the most tedious on this list. They are both Glass Cannons that require you landing your combo correctly pretty much everytime or high risk of death or a failed team fight for missing. Both are also heavily dependent on team composition as well.

As far as the supports go Terra, Sylv, Ganesha are all very easy to get down. Faf and Artio require a bit more skill/combo knowledge to get the most out of your kit

I feel terra has the hardest kit to master properly of all supports. Like you have to turn in the middle of fights to get good walls for blocking off ppl or setting up good wall dashes and so on.

Artio seems really easy, dash in deal some damage, stun maybe, turn and do the cripple and do the suck thingy for stun hopefully and the magic punch. Then bear again and repeat :p
It just feels like mashing buttons without needing to really think at all or aim anyting really.

But haven't really played her since she got released so my only experience with her is playing against her. And thos ppl might just play her terribly bad, although she is anoying to play against.

Artio was a roflstomper when she was first released, but she lost a bit of power since then. She can either be a powerful force or a footnote depending upon how she's played and what her build is.

While I do agree that Terra's kit is easy to use, it's not so easy to use well. Sure you can pop off walls everywhere and knock 'em down, but if you're not placing them properly, then you're pretty much a non-issue. That Terra I mentioned in my post below went 1/1/x (I forget how many assists they got, but it was more by being there than actually assisting.) A good Terra would have been a larger force on the battlefield.

, , , and are some of my lowest mastered supports, but also some of the most underated ones.

right now is meta in almost every game, but some people don't realize why this is. His silence is about 2-3 seconds long, and can be focused to 1-3 people at a time, and moves around. Think of the shutdown potential with something like that: a mobile CC. His ult has two major uses: teamfighting and blocking off pathways. In a fight, put in the center of everything and just watch the numbers roll in, due to its protection debuff and slow. The damage around it, while small, is very off putting and forces enemies to find a new route, which can stop chasers.
is all about the prolonging everything and being greedy (get it?). You pop that dragon form, and you are obligated to do something with it. Hit a stun right here, another stun there, a quick team attack speed buff and boom, their T2 tower is down. That's the main thing about playing him is that he's not a usual support. You have to get in the carry mindset and just ignore your teammates in your ult and start racking up damage numbers.
has been really underappreacited lately, ever since she lost her root. Don't forget that her ultimate 1. Takes away ALL mana costs, meaning low mana resources doesnt matter. 2. Reduces all cooldowns, meaning more spammability. 3. Increases movement speed, meaning chasing and rotation/gank potential. 4. Heals upon taking damage, which can save lives and prolong fights just so everyone can either make it out alive or with some kills. Paired up with her out of combat heal and/or AoE slow, and you are supporting literally everyone on your team at the same time, at all times.
in season 5 is being picked back up because his splash damage autos are no joke early game. This new , and he's soloing like crazy. The flowers under tower for the ADC to stay in lane more, while also rooting to setup for a solo kill or gank, very potent. His whole kit just screams lane dominance. That's not even talking about his single person stun, which can take out either the damage sponge or damage spout of a team.

All of the above supports are great in the current meta, just find the one that suits your playstyle, most likely .

Been having good fun with Sylv + Hunters bedring :)
Really enjoyed Fafnir when I played him like a year ago, and yes he suits my playstyle pretty well. With ulting then just going ham for a while forcing some stuff and just roling my face on the keyboard:p

I like Ganeshas kit as well especially the ult for objectives etc. And that dash -> uhhhm lockdown is disgusting.

Think it will be sylv mainly and some Ganesha and Fafnir on the side :p
I just have to buy the right blessing, bought assassin's on autopilot the other day as Sylv. That was not as fun as Hunter's haha

Thanks for the feedback, thinking I'll record/stream some games after work today :p

So far it's looking like:
always enjoyed her tbh.
, I guess she is to good to not learn how to play properly. 😪
, all the way (at least until I get into some half decent games.
seems fun, but how do I carry if I cant KS? 😣

Probs going to throw in some as well, because I've wanted to learn him properly for a long time now.

You're kidding, right?

It is stupid just try it :P

The pressure you get from clearing the lane super fast lets you invade purple and red super easy (you also clear the camps super fast). So the gold loss from not having does not matter that much. Because the enemy support should end up super far behind because of your pressure.

But when you get into games where ppl actually know how to play (diamond-masters) then you are better off with the because it gives you more in the long run.

You need to take advantage of the pressure though and be ready to be ganked..

Actually, I watched that shizzle while he was streaming. LOL worked well, he had multiple kills and they stomped. He was actually sad anticipating the upcoming sale of the item to get a full T3 item...it seemed to be helping his clear pretty well. When I saw him purchase the starter, I was like WTF?!? But then it worked. Or maybe it was just him.

You have to understand, it worked because it's Marki that's doing it. I doubt any of us casual scrubs could pull it off.

What Boogie said. I can play Sylvanus with some passing ability, but I'm not buying hunter's blessing on him.

Be sure to ask Bran about , he's a master.

None of em are my best god...I suck at them all =P

But Boogie, for some reason, likes to say that I'm a "master" with all the gods. And then he'll go "but I AM telling the truth. You have all gods at least at Mastery I." SMH

Classic bait to catch the Branfish. You fell for it hook, line, AND sinker.

Lol
Gotta catch them all ^_<

Imma say learn first then for the assassins. From there you can go whenever (But I do recommend -> -> rest)

For Supports, is a really good god to have in your sleeve, he's pretty good all around and his playlist is really different, which is enjoyable. Then, is pretty good. I personally dislike a lot, but he's strong. and are REALLY fun but their numbers are just... sad

Always feel they have tons of damage :p

Most of them do, but and don't. fsajbfdsalkbfdasl

Both of them used to have insane dammage and CC, now they just have somewhat insane CC so yeh

may have lost her damage, but she can still tank with the best of them. I faced off against a in assault and mitigated 35k damage compared to their 11k. Then again, that Terra spent most of the match behind their teammates instead of up front like what I was doing.

***uiming this is for Jungle/Support in Conquest.

Serqet and Nemesis allow you to cover both roles.

After that i'd do the assassins in the following order: Ratatoskr, Da Ji, Susano, Awilix, Camazotz

Supports: Ganesha, Fafnir, Sylvanus, Terra, Artio

I have Artio last cause she tends to do better in solo while the others are primarily supports. She can be really easy to punish from support if you end up behind early on.

For Assassins, I'd personally recommend and . For Guardians, , , and .

Nemesis can be very strong when used correctly (as I'm sure you know), and a skilled player can wreak havoc all over the map.

As for the supports, and are really good when you land their skill shots, and for Ganesha, utilize his ult correctly. , in my experience, can be strong if you have a knowledgeable ADC who can play with you correctly. In casuals, teammates don't always take advantage of his boost and the disarm from effectively.

I'd say and on the assassin side for their overall mobility (yeah I know Serq is also very mobile but bleh).

You already know pretty well from the match I saw...I'd say and probably for Supports. seems like he's had a great overall balance almost since his introduction, and so you shouldn't see a whole lot of changes to him over the course of the season. As for , you have access to that great Terra guide from NKE07 with tons of info to help you get very familiar with her.

100% should learn because she is over all the strongest jungler atm, but I'm with you on the "bleh". Really want to learn so think I'll start with him.

I know how to play and all the other gods for that matter. But I most definitely have not mastered the arts of (get it Bob Ross?).
But also seems fun, so probs going for her and .

1

(401) |

Since she's the strongest jungler (or at least one of them), it means nerfs are likely on the way (past the one she's already receiving in 5.3). I always feel it's best to choose the more stable gods that are more balanced (though it doesn't hurt to be able to play the top tier gods when they're not banned or picked).

True, but she is really strong for high level play. In low level play she is worse (at least I never see her do well if I play against it or with it on my team). And with HiRez taking like half a season to nerf because he was doing bad in low level play, I do not see being any different. I get your point though.

And she seems boring to me anyways (got 37 games on her).

And 41 on in chase you where wondering :p

And 248 on haha
