Since I don't have that much to report, this is more of an interlude of thoughts, not so much on actual games.

That said, I guess I will comment on one recent Conquest match. Got to play this one with Stuke, Zilby, and Greenevers. I chose Support, and it was an ugly thing (1/5/8). Bad choices on when to initiate. At one point, I saw our guys getting destroyed, and I got there too late. Thing is, in my head, I felt I needed to at least make an attempt, but at the point when I actually initiated the taunt, I think I was the last one standing. Slow reaction time, or something. Zilby was like "why did you taunt them?!?" because I basically had 3 guys basic attacking me via the taunt, while I should have just retreated.

Oh, and actually, there was this other one, where I got to play with GameGeekFan, who is a solid jungler. But...1/8/11 with . Again feel like I'm going backward.

Which got me to thinking...what was it about playing with Ducks where I was doing so well? The first, and most obvious answer, is that he plays an extremely aggressive game, and also recognizes opportunities really well. I didn't even have to say anything and he was there pretty much every time I got a pull or whatever. Also helps that his skill level seems high, and he hits a bunch of his abilities. Doesn't help when I miss the pull, which happened multiple times in the match mentioned above.

So...is a god that's more on the passive side really the best style for me? is a pretty safe pick. So is , but I just can't seem to do that well with her. Would a more aggressive god be better? Would I do more with or ? I don't want to play or . I do admit I really like ***bha, but I like Cricket's kit too.

And maybe I need to branch out more. Although I want to be better at Support, maybe some rounds as ADC, Mid (which I've never played), or Solo might do me some good. Maybe solo-queuing might work better for me, instead of bothering the SF group. Maybe playing or , who I'm generally comfortable with, in a Jungle role, might actually work. I dunno. Just looking at my current streak of games, all my negative K/D (most of them lately), and getting a bit discouraged again.

Maybe that's just because you didn't find your best role, just try the other ones.
Or maybe you would be more comfortable playing with more defensive support, like or .

actually defensive supports are for passive adc's, like or , really depends on the adc pick, so just keep that in mind bran.

Well, I'd say I don't prefer , and I really don't like .

I like the kits of , , , and (mostly because I'm very familiar with his kit, e.g. my guide). That said, I think might be a bit TOO aggressive for my taste in Conquest, and I just suck so bad with , who really needs better awareness to make the most of her ult to support teammates.

So, right now, it's sort of between and . You suggested ***bha, and I might try that next time. His CC and escape ability is incredible, and I'm comfortable with his kit as well. But I want to get better with Cricket too.

It can be that you and Ducks are so well comboed because of your both your playstyles matching and well maybe a lot of games.
This is what duo lane makes even more difficult if the adc and support playstyle don't really match. (both in player mentality and god play style)

I've only played a few games total with Ducks actually...just playstyle, and his skill, I guess.

Well, that's every support's ideal teammate. When CC = death, more CC = more death. And that's the main idea with supports, to supply CC.
