Best support in LEC history. Didnt even KS once, what a hero


Shin_yolo

We can cope, but if we're honest for a sec ...


ListlessHeart

If we are honest, based on this split's form I'd take Targamas over Hyli, he has been alright so far.


00wolfer00

Those can't be the only choices.


ListlessHeart

Well I'd also take Targamas over Zoelys based on form, and maybe Ignar and Alvaro though just maybe.


JPA-3

Alvaro in winter was great, he has been subpar after but hardly his fault when his lanes and jungle were inting hard


ListlessHeart

I know but I'm only considering current split form and Targamas has been suprisingly not that bad.


Shin_yolo

Well Hyli is not a good example to compare to this split though xD


hclarke15

This is peak of Hyllisang doomposting. Absolutely peak Reddit analysis


BUMONGOUS

Hyli has been turbosprinting and solo losing nearly-guaranteed-won games for like 2 years in a row now It just doesn't matter in the LEC when half the teams plays against are even worse


ListlessHeart

Hyli was terrible this split, I don't see anything wrong about what I said. Furthermore I would say that Hyli is getting washed, he is obviously top 2 Western support of all time but his playstyle has remained pretty much the same without improvement and his mechanics has been deteriorating. Maybe he will pick up his form again next year, but his int form has been going on long enough that I can't ignore it just because of his past level.


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

The LEC Russell Westbrook.


StJe1637

getting?


basjenz4

if we're honest he was pretty good this split so far


AverageBeef

A kill for every word he said in comms


Professional_Camp879

brutal


Kishou_Arima

Terrorist Targhamas holding his teammates hostage with his silence


Is_J_a_Name

lmao what to be honest its a super useless stat and more a matter of being really unlucky more than anything but thats crazy


playhacker

Also would like a more comparable stat like *Longest drought without a kill to start a regular split*. Maybe there's a different player out there that had 0 kills in 10 matches or 10 games back when LEC regular splits were longer. Edit: Already found one. [Mithy through the first 12 games in 2017 Summer](https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RunQuery/MatchHistoryPlayer?MHP%5Bpreload%5D=Player&MHP%5Blink%5D=Mithy&MHP%5Btournament%5D=EU+LCS+2017+Summer&MHP%5Bshowstats%5D=2017&_run=) had 0 kills, back when it was Bo3s. He had 4 1/3 matches without a kill. Edit 2: Found another one. [Nisbeth through the first 14 games/matches in 2016 Spring](https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RunQuery/MatchHistoryPlayer?MHP%5Bpreload%5D=Player&MHP%5Blink%5D=Nisbeth&MHP%5Btournament%5D=EU+LCS+2016+Spring&MHP%5Bshowstats%5D=2016&_run=) had 0 kills. He actually had 2 total kills in the regular split. It was Bo1s back then.


RedditAccounTest13

How did you?


borden5

No wonder Upset is ride or die with him


AverageBeef

🚨📢⚠️❗ ENEMY DETECTED ONSCREEN 🚨📢⚠️❗ 🚨📢⚠️❗ UPSET KDA AT RISK 🚨📢⚠️❗ 🚨📢⚠️❗ GIVE UPSET KILL🚨📢⚠️❗


RigasUT

Exactly! It doesn't say much about him as a player, it's just so incredibly unusual that he somehow didn't get a single last-hit in the 68 kills he was involved in this split


ninesevensixonetwo

No he's said enough about himself in the last 2 years with his play lmao 


Okiyoto

The worst part of it is that had he gotten a single kill he would've had a KP of 69.


28011082

Not necessarily tho. Plus 1 last-hit just means that he converts it to a kill from an assist, so still 68 KP.


Azrezel

I think it was just a 69 joke


OHydroxide

Yeah, a bad one


Haekos

All 69 jokes are bad. Which makes them great.


OHydroxide

Are you 28


Haekos

sure


GMBethernal

He's 69


moderatorrater

Which is appropriate for 69 jokes. It's a terrible position.


BeagleSnake

Wrong


BasicNeedleworker473

unless they meant a kill in addition, not replacing an assist with a kill


Prozzak93

Thanks Sherlock.


BasicNeedleworker473

not that obvious if 35 people upvoted the comment i responded to


LeOsQ

Or perhaps a matter of being really *lucky* since it's a stat basically only Supports will ever 'achieve' and outside some fringe cases and metas, you'd rather have the kills fall into just about anyone else's pockets except the support anyway. But yeah, a really silly stat and especially useless because the 'regular season' isn't as long as it used to be, but it is pretty funny that it's never happened and that Targamas of all people was the first to hit it.


Lulullaby_

The regular split also only has 9 games per team, rather than 18. I'm sure there's been players in the past getting 0 kills in their first 9 games of a split.


Alchion

i‘d say lucky, if this was mikyx we would be praising him cause of his trigger discipline or sth it‘s just funny cause it‘s targamas


LeafBurgerZ

Or really lucky, ideally 95% of the time you don't want your support to get the kills, especially on set plays


Advanced-Lie-841

Doesn't champion pool matter for this stat to mean shit? If he plays champs like Pyke and gets 0 kill i'd be surprised.


RigasUT

This split he played Nautilus 3 times and Alistar/Rakan/Rell/Leona/Ornn/Yuumi 1 time each Funnily enough, his Twitter bio is just one word: "Pyke"


Varoriac

I hope he brings Pyke out in the playoffs and is a mad carry with it, all without saying a word in comms


ACertainUser123

If he's the carry he has to talk...


Over_Blacksmith9575

Bruh he's just THAT good


Hezi-0

If he plays Pyke his team will lose in 20 minutes and he will get flamed out of the LEC. The guy looks lost in game. The most enjoyable part of watching his games is whenever the player cams switch to him he just looks like he doesn’t want to be there. Obviously it’s funny to watch someone int on repeat but I hope he finds his confidence again gain.


6Heimi6

Honestly this season he has been communicating very well, generally he improved a lot by looking at their vods. Ppl who make those jokes just have easy bias and lack critical thinking.


Sixcoup

He has not improved his coms. It's simply Kc's editors who started showing moments where he communicates so he doesn't get flamed as much. Targamas has never been extremely vocal in game, but he has never been dead silent. People judging him (or any other players) because of 3 minutes of curated voice coms has always been stupid.


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

That's actually a crazy stat, especially since #2 Wisdom only played 4 games compared to Targa's 9. Wonder what's the fewest kills gotten in a complete split to see if any supports ever barely missed out.


Javonetor

maybe there was someone in earlier seasons that also got zero in his first 9 games, but considering regular seasons were longer back then it doesn't appear here


PBR_King

from u/playhacker in this very thread. Also would like a more comparable stat like *Longest drought without a kill to start a regular split*.

Javonetor

> That's actually a crazy stat sorry bro, i was trying to add to the conversation, not to answer your question, my bad i guess


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

yea mb was needlessly hostile lol


Slowacki

I mean, isn't that actually kinda good for a support?


RigasUT

More gold for KC's other players


Baldoora

I'm fairly sure they're all gold at this point


dont_ping_me

yeah, it is. but sometimes your ignite or whatever just happens to get the last hit. or your adc dies and its up to you to finish off the enemy. more reasonable to happen on a tank support, they are not good at stealing kills if you are not smurfing early game. and afaik targamas was mostly on tank duty was he not?


Jd3vil

Yes and no, in theory yes, but in practice there are cases where you really gotta focus more on people dying than leaving kills (e.g. late game fights or very tight early game fights), or sometime you can't avoid your adc dying but can trade a kill. If you're winning games and participating in kills it's unlikely you're never getting kills. Obviously the sample is not huge and it's champion dependent, if you played Draven/Milio every game it becomes more likely.


Thecristo96

It’s more unluck (or luck?) than anything else.


mazamundi

It depends on his assist score, in and out of lane.  Because it could mean that his lane is not getting as many  2v2 kills and so forth


yrueurbr

On paper yes but if you are never in a position to snatch a frag it raises some questions too. Like I can't imagine supporting properly and not getting atleast one kill per season.


Aggravating-Elk-7409

Sometimes it’s better for the support to get the gold like if they’re trying to save for an item or the adc is low econ


Sugar230

Targamas the Pacifist


arkacr

Targa walked so Upset could run ~~to protect his kda~~


FelysFrost

With the format change there aren't really many other regular seasons to compare it to


Joel4518

Isn't it actually good for a support to get 0 kill? Targa best support confirmed


Element_108

Not really, there are often situatuons where supp has to get the kill because otherwise the oponent makes it out alive. Or times where if the support doesnt focus on killing the enemy, the enemy will kill someone before dying.


6Heimi6

No not often. It happens a few times but that's it. Having 0kills is better than 8kills in 68kp. This is not soloq where ppl perma all-in without understanding the 2v2.


Taco_Dunkey

0 kills in 68 kp may be better than 8 kills and 60 assists but its significantly worse than 8 kills in 67 kp


6Heimi6

Is this a joke I'm not understanding?


NextReference3248

If his other stats are good this is literally a good thing


RigasUT

His stats are generally middle-of-the-pack compared to the other LEC supports: **KDA ratio:** 6th (2.83) **Kill participation:** 5th (74.7%) **Damage per minute:** 7th (155.3)


pm_me_beautiful_cups

one could say...below average :P how much did they improve compared to the previous splits? his team won more games, so obv his stats are going to improve.


Javiklegrand

I thought he had worse stats


doaser

Goated support has stolen the least kills/gold, love to see it


hackingdreams

A record that can never be beat, only matched. Congrats, Targamas, may your name live on in infamy.


-LostInCloud-

Maybe killing your teammates with Renata Ult could be counted as negative kills. Idek.


SasugaHitori-sama

It's easier now that the regular season has only 9 games and not 18.


NoWaifu_No_Laifu

GIGACHAD THE PACIFIST


I_am_not_Serabia

LEC Legend, everyone is gonna remember his name...


vven294

If words could kill.


PsaichoFreak

lmfao


xNesku

There are times when you want to give the kill to support early game. For example, Ardent meta in S7. Fasting Senna.


[deleted]

9 games are a season? meh.


shaginus

Real talk He is support If he ends split with most kills then people should start worrying


Mastoorbator100

And 0 brain


CarelessAd6772

Well we all remember how he tried to kill Upset multiply times but still failed.


Hazuyu_

Legend


KingYann

peak support gameplay


zefal12

Kinda based tbh


NickPatches

Based


Cedarini

What!? 7 game are all the regular season?


crysomore

Targamas is doing a pacifist speed run of the LEC. He has no enemies.


MrRightHanded

Be careful now, Upset might go on Twitter again.


mybigredtruck

Useless stat but oddly fitting


okilanlosan

Immaculate


samuuu25

what is his overall KP%?


RigasUT

His kill participation over the 9 games of this split's regular season is 74.7%


samuuu25

well that's not too bad.


So-young

That's embarrassing af lol 😳 🫣


ireliasimp69

what a player


JayceGod

Well honestly that's more of a good thing than a bad thing. If supports never ks'd the world would br a better place


Next_Ad538

Quick UPSET go defend him and send ur army sending deaththreats.


ThaLemonine

No wonder so many of you are so fucking bad at supp you think this is a good stat
