L16HT's Interview

Team Plays Like a Girl Member

L16HT

L16HT is a founding member of PLaG. Her and Dakotah met back in October 2011 and have been playing bottom lane together ever since. "I support you so you can carry me <3" Is L16HT's main quote about playing the support role. The role of support is often forgotten and thought of as the easiest role on the team to play. However L16HT has proven time and time again that a good support is game changing. Her main job is to give sight on the map as well as ensuring the AD carry is fed off creeps. Any stream viewer can tell you without L16HT Dakotah would fall flat on her face.

19. If you were in a zombie apocalypse and could only take five items what would you take? (asked by King Tues) "I would take a supply of Sour Patch Kids, ummm I'd want to drive around in an armored trailer, have a gun that can use anything for ammo (like the one you can build in Fallout), The Office seasons, and xbox."
20. Pick one Star Wars or Star Trek? (asked by HCGrackis) "Star Wars."
21. If you were stranded on a deserted island what five music albums would you take? (asked by Aewynia) "Five is not enough!!! But I would take The Strokes- Is This It, The Shins- Oh, Inverted, Kanye West- Late Registration, Lupe Fiasco- The Cool, Macklemore- The Vs. Ep."
22. What vital items do you feel you need to take as a support to help your team progress? (Optimus Tom) "ITEMS!!! Of course it's situational, but after your gold items you want to build an Aegis for the team. If your AD carry is doing really well get a Zeke's Herald (also good if you're playing in a non sustain lane). If your AP carry is doing really well build a Will of the Ancients. Shurelya's Reverie if you your team needs help getting away from a team or trying to catch up. And most importantly buy wards! Pink wards are essential when warding dragon and baron. Get an oracle! Depending on how well your lane is doing you can get it early, it basically shuts down the other support who can't afford one, and it also give your team map control."
23. What sucks most about being in lane with Dakotah? (asked by Lucipher) "WHEN SHE GOES RAMBO! But also when she gets down on herself if we fail in lane."
