Is playing a ranged dps carry a LoL faux pas or something? In 4 of my last 10 games my team has not had a ranged dps carry. I know I could have chosen one but I played the tank instead...


Odd, the last couple games I played everybody was a ranged dps carry and I got stuck tanking.

There was a period where 'tanky carries' dominated (and the ranged ones tend to be too squishy), and I think Riot's trying to reverse that trend, but that was about when I started having problems with LoL so... sad.gif

There are just easier to play AD/DPS carries that are melee than that are ranged. I feel compelled to play a Caitlyn game now, but I know that no one will be willing to tank, so I'll most likely play Jarvan or Shen.

Only if it screws the team. One is fine. Five is not.

5 squishies sometimes works, assuming all 5 are competent and arranged. Soloqueue though... yeah :/ Worst part is when you get autoattackers that fail terribly at last-hitting.

Update on this:
Our team had an Ashe and a Twitch. I Shen'd it up and went 4/11/24.

Or they must auto-attack everything when they're not pushing/being pushed.

Ah crap Blitzcrank's pull is so annoying.

Go go 10 minute Veil on Annie!

Someone play with me, solo queues suck nuts.

Caitlyn is, by far, my favorite ranged dps character. Her range is just crazy and her Q ability is a pretty strong nuke early-mid game. Also, as the cherry on top, I can crit for about 1000+ damage if I get my basic build(4 items with boots).

Sadly I don't play tanks much anymore. Reason being that if you solo queue as a tank you're essentially praying to god that your carries can actually carry. Also the fact is that EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT when you tank for the team when you're solo queuing.

I just started jungling with Lee Sin and I've been raping faces smile.gif

Do want a game, solo makes me sadface.

Add me, I'm not on right now but I'm down for a game in the future: Raikjwen

For now, back to studying for me.

Leona is a pretty interesting tank to play as. Whenever I am below 1/4th health as a tank, I will kind step outside the fight for a moment. But, with Leona, I just use her shield(W ability) and charge in further. I think I went above 300 physical armor and 200 magic armor with her W on...

I've been killing a lot of people with Leona. She stings more than you'd think, and she can definitely take a beating. I've been building Shuralya's, and the philosopher's stone makes laning really fun. I <3 her ult.

I have that much armor and MR when I tank anyway. tongue.gif

Get some spellvamp on her if you aren't already. You'll can lane forever that way.

I purchased all these champs I suck with... but oh I will figure you out Wukong... I will figure you out...

I would just like to thank you for suggesting this. I followed your advice and I have yet to lose a game as Cassiopeia. smile.gif
