if you're a GIRL trying to get into deadlock
i'm going to save you 6 months of bad advice from your HARDSTUCK boyfriend
he's going to tell you to "learn the basics on a simple champion"
he's going to tell you to pick paige because "she's good for beginners"
he's WRONG
he's been telling you the WRONG THING because he subconsciously needs you to play the role he's already mentally assigned you
the polite supportive girlfriend champion
the champion that doesn't out damage him
i'm telling you the opposite
lock MINA
lock WRAITH
lock SILVER
lock MIRAGE
play whatever the FUCK you want
play the most violent ego driven CHAMPION YOU SEE here's what your boyfriend won't tell you
every girl i've ever coached who hit phantom or higher did NOT start on supports
every single one of them started on a carry champion that let them DESTROY people from game 1
because the truth nobody in this community wants to admit is that the BEST way to learn this game is to learn how to KILL
not how to peel
not how to "play safe"
how to walk up to another human being and remove them from the lobby
that's the actual skill
your boyfriend is going to be threatened the first time you go 12/0 on mina
he's going to start making excuses
"yeah but the enemy was bad"
"yeah but mina is broken"
let him cope
you found out what the game actually feels like before he did
and now you're never going back to playing kelvin while he tells you "good job babe"
pick the champion that lets you HUNT
we are not raising another generation of GIRLS who play supports because some guy with 50% winrate said it was the "smart" choice
if you're new to deadlock
play what you want
Study the froggy way
