Hi there. Whatever you do, please dont focus attacking the support. Attack the weakest enemies first okay? :)

What if the support is carrying the game?

yes, taka, yes - don't hit poor innocent catherine at all - it's just not worth it. also to weapon krul - absolutely do not put any stacks onto cath while her bubble is up and wait the six seconds to pop her to the ground. always attack the one's she's protecting.

:p

of course, that's just silliness, but there is a point. Obviously, when one player is a dead tank with no attack, don't rush that player while Celeste destroys you from her very comfortable level 5 star distance. i have walked around and taken every piece of tank phinn's jungle with a half dead cath, while he attacked me like a lamprey and i just ignored him. in that case, that is smart as hell. even if he kills you, you are far enough away that your team can get to safety from his slow *** while you stock up at the death shop and kite back to kill them all. i roam and wait for death, because that's when i have the most time to build against the opponent team and watch the wision i've placed all over the map to discern their patterns.

anyway, when the teamfights happen with this same combination, behavior must change. attacking that tank in most cases would be dumb as hell, since his teammates likely built little defense and were counting on him. if you have lifesteal and decent shielding from at least one of the two snipes (which you should), take that tank down to half and run like hell. he is likely too drunk on health and halcyon to go back to base and heal, so one more round will get him to 25%, scare him, and send him home. then, you should be able to feast on the soft innards of the opponent team without all the bones in the way.

so it is indeed a coin flip, but hard wision roams like ardan and myself actually count on you completely ignoring them so that they have time to set the battlefield and hurt you when it counts, so land a few on them that count, especially right after they kite a teammate to safety, leaving themselves vulnerable, so that when they run down to snatch your health camp, the jungler has a prayer of scaring them out or taking them down.

plus, dude. you know you get xp from hitting **** right? like, a tank is basically an xp farm.
