Yeah, In ranked you ban 3 champs each team, which in my current ELO (1200-1300) Noc is banned about 20% of the time. Then yesterday most games the enemy took Noc first pick which was rage-worthy.

Trying my hand with Vi today, going okay so far - it seems to be better for me then LS/J4.
Also going to save for some of the support junglers, Mao? Naut? suggestions? and give them a go.

Although he's not a support jungler, try Fiddlesticks. His kit literally destroys people.

He is a niche pick though, if you're really into jungling I'd suggest getting a jungler of each role.

Noc/Lee Sin/Shaco/Elise as your carry junglers.
Volibear/Nasus/Naut/Sejuani/Rammus if you need tanky junglers.
Zac/Fiddle if you need an AP jungler.

Since when has Noc been banned in ranked, played in silver a lot and have probably seen him banned 10 times, for me that's about <1% ban rate :confused:
 
Anyone fancy a mini 1v1 tournament tonight?

Rules.

Summoners rift mid lane.
Any champion can be played.
The game will be blind pick, but each person will be able to ban 3 champions before the champion select stage begins.
First person to get either, first blood, 100 cs or destroy the first turret wins and will advance to the next round. The loser of that game will face the loser of another.

So far i have between 5-8 people. If i get enough interest here, i'll put the names into a hat and draw them out to determine who is facing who first.

He's always banned in my games for some reason :/
Anyway, its irrelevant at the moment as I keep getting last pick (and thus, support) the last few games

Yep, at lower ELO support is always last pick.
Fortunately I spent about 100 ranked games playing just support so im not terrible at it (Even pretty good with Lulu) however supporting with the kind of ADC you usually get is painful.
I pretty much only support with Soraka now, it has a calming influence it seems and makes the ADC focus on farming over silly all in moments that usually end up getting us both killed

Also bans are like clockwork.
Amumu, Shen, Malphite, Blitz are perma banned, with usually either Hec or Noc and one of the assassin mid types also.

Because they're bad at it and they don't understand how important it is. Also it must be horribly depressing trying to support when the ADCs must be terrible.

it's more a case of it being the least desired and least glamorous role so falls to the person with last pick who can't actually do anything about it.

Count me in :D

Also on a side note somthing really irritateing keeps happening to me, i play with my friends and often theres only 4 of us and we love to banter, now i dont just mean casual banter its pretty aggressive lol and the one randomer we always get seems to get very emotional about it even after we say we know each other lol. 'stop flaming' 'im gonna report you' so on so forth -_- I love league but omfg mmo/moba players can be real ******** lol

It would be so much better if Wards were limited to 2 + Sightstone per person, and / or give sightstone a passive that increases gold gained from assists.
If support could actually buy some items, it would be less un-desirable. The sense of having a full build (of 3 items) by 15 mins and then 15 wards every time you back is highly frustrating and un-rewarding.

There is no need to buy 15 wards everytime you back, once I get Ruby Sightstone if I have enough gold then I'll buy 5 pinks and just restock when needed, thats usually enough because other team mates generally buy a ward or 2 if they have a space.

I could be interested, message me later on ingame and I'll let you know.

Again, must be a low ELO thing. Us minnows are usually expected to do the entire map singlehandedly.

agreed , 15 wards is overkill. I start 1 pink, 3 greens and 1 purple.
get my philo or stone depending on what i can afford WHILST getting a pink each shop trip.

as the game goes on i may up to 2 pinks per shop, but by that time iv at least got a blue sightstone, and wont buy greens from then on unless we are super pushed and need vision in our own jungle and the jungler isnt warding (like they are supposed to), you need to find the balance bc you NEED that aegis as soon as possible for team fights.

As i said, no one but the support drops even 1 ward in the 1200-1300 bracket.

thats a lie, im in that bracket and probably 2 in 10 games will no one but the support be warding and if members aren't warding ask them nicely.
Either way even if they arent 15 wards is a no no , you just dont need that map coverage.

It's the least desired because people believe that it's the ADC that wins bot lane and that the support is just there to ward and heal them. If people were to actually give it a chance and do it properly rather then picking Nidalee and going straight AP they might enjoy it :p

I personally don't find the lack of items to much of a problem because you don't need them. Most of the time you're there to provide some sort of CC or buff anyway and these don't directly benefit from having more AD or AP.

If you can play a support well it's honestly one of the most rewarding roles you can play.
