...so there's no resource management in the game? It's just about the APM twitch clicking?

What do you mean with your question? You can't kill your own minions to deny your laning opponents gold/experience. There is still a TON of resource management in the game. Laners need to work on last hitting during the laning phase in order to maximize their gold. Later in the game objectives such as dragons and turrets are important in gaining gold advantages over the enemy team. Commonly junglers will enter into the enemy jungle and kill the monsters that give the most experience/gold or try to steal buffs, leaving the enemy jungler disadvantaged (this is called counterjungling).

Rarely do games end with players having "full builds" which means all 6 of their item slots are filled up, so you're not going to be overflowing with gold, you need to spend it appropriately and buy items that give you the best chance of winning, you can't just buy anything you want and expect it to work.

Resource management is a huge part of the game.

There's also the concept of zoning and pressuring in lane. Since you can't deny your lane opponents xp/gold by killing your own minions (denying) you can play aggresively, or have your jungler camp your lane to attempt to push your opponent out of xp/last hit range so they fall behind.

When your opponent leaves lane to shop you can shove your lane up so your minions die under a turret before your opponent makes it back to lane, thus "denying" them gold/exp.

Doesn't sound like I'd enjoy it then. I prefer the endgame. It's why I shit on Starcraft II so hard, there's no such thing as massive army vs massive army in that game, it's all microbase+APM memorize 2274572 hotkeys bullshit.

I don't understand this statement. You mean YOU get shit on in SC2 because you have no micro?

This answers everything you need to know.

I didn't play SCII enough to get to the level of getting "shit on" I got bored and quit about halfway through gold league, this was about a month after the leagues came out.

I don't know what have no micro means.
Having to rely on twitch clicking and spam hotkeying is not "strategy" it's twitch. If I want to play a twitch game I'll play Osu! or a FPS.
HoN had strategy and the more everyone posts about LoL the more it appears it's twitch over strategy. I've lost count the number of games that I've MVP'd in in HoN where I was nowhere near the top APM because that game goes far beyond twitch clicking.

You're welcome to try to convince me otherwise but so far you've achieved the opposite.

Nope, need exprain.

I don't think anybody cares to try to convince you of anything.

You asked questions, you got answers, and now only you give a shit about which you chose to play/not play. Best of luck, hope you have fun no matter what your decision is!

This LoL thread. Not Kagatob thread.

Problem is, playing pure support in LoL is boring as fuck...

Can tell you right now you do not play enough of the game if you're going to spout this nonsense. You are playing the lane wrong if you find bot lane to be boring. It's the most aggressive and dangerous lane to play because its a constant 2v2, with the option of it quickly becoming 2v3 or 2v4. Remarks like this irritate the fuck out of me.

I've watched streams of the rainmain in 2k elo pugs when he gets stuck as support he admits its lame as fuck, hes just a ward bot as he puts it, he basically spends all his time buying Gp5 items and placing wards.
