As Supp, I always try to balance the team and look what mid pick. If mid pick melee/assassin I'll pick enchanter and if they pick mage/range I'll pick tank

[Miss_Akashiya]

short. on the point. exaclty what i needed. played for so long but now finally i understood the core of the role its so simple once you understood. i had a 3year league break. I watched this video . Queued up. remembered everything and focused on nothing else except what ive learned here - I played 4 games - I WON 4 games. all of them were good i got honors, I influenced the game a lot. GG


fuck these 20 minutes guides as long as youre gold or lower this shi is ALL you need

thank you so much. you the first one that broke down support role easy enough for my brain so that I understood it after so many years of league. there is so many little details in league that always overwhelmed me i always put the focus on a lot wrong tiny things. that guide helped me come to the core of the role.

It's so relaxing to play Sona cuz it's not just her soothing vibes it's also the fact that it doesn't matter how many times I died, as long as we can hold out I will scale inevitably and supports specially enchanters never lose value :>

[francisfalgui]

Great guide as always. TBH, for me the best part of playing support is not pressuring myself to get a higher farm score than my opponents. LOL!

[MrAwesomeTheAwesome]

Not bad for a new player, but I feel it's missing some key pieces of information:
Supports must be able to be useful on a low budget, since under normal circumstances they will always make less gold than their allies. This means abilities which scale well off of level, but not off of items (such as CC abilities, abilities with high base damage, and utility buffs) dictate whether or not something makes a good support, alongside the question: if an assassin is coming for your ADC, do you have an answer? Most ADCs can't save themselves, so the support needs to have a form of reliable counterengage. Lastly, the support needs to be able to perform well in the bot lane, which usually requires either long range, strong defensives, or a great deal of mobility. Pantheon and Pyke are two great examples of champions which do not fit into any of the classes listed, but still perform well in the bot lane because they can avoid being locked down and bursted.

the best CC is death
-every bully support main

[Spacemaaan]

Nidalee as a support has been working so well for me its actually ridiculous. You can poke them with the spear to keep them at bay and heal/increase the atk speed of your adc. After a couple minutes they just become terrified of leaving their tower LOL (if you can land your spears)

[geeemm]

support is my least played role, but whenever i do play as support - in quickmatch or because i have to in ranked, all i hear is flame comments from the botlaner when it comes to stealing kills. yes i do understand that the kill reward gold is better used for the adc, but those people rather flame than be glad that we won a trade in lane or that i saved the adc butt from the opponent...

sometimes the game is weird.

[AxxxelGR]

Although I play supp rarely (autofill), I'd like to try something tanky with a pull and easy to pick up if possible. Any recommendations? For now, i pick every single time Brand and they definitely underestimate the damage until the first triple 😂 The amount of S I've gotten compared to how little I've played the champ is nuts!

[WhenYouGoMadd]

"The Bully" is arguably the worst type of Support. There is almost never a scenario where I want "The Bully" archetype as the Support on my team.

[Perluwu]

roaming is what differentiates a good and a bad support oftentimes

[Ranked_Journey]

The only problem with your videos is that you need to watch them multiple times to absorb all the information.

[justinthelegend]

also you could ward the side bush, so top can tp down

[omerazeem]

sorry lol noob here. do all support get auto gold?

[actualfactualnoodle]

Everytime i play vel'koz i end up out damaging my adc and they flame me for getting kills

[Blaze-kfds]

can you do classes/sub classes next
i say this so it can be more easily applied to arams

[StraytheSkies]

thanks. for your guides. ive been playing on and off but not enough to get better. im more better at wild rift

[etanramoz]

Wont’t you fall behind in level and everything when going around warding and stuff?

[tomearisteia]

You didn’t explain what wards are just where to place then

[kristianvasnik]

Honestly, i love you for not asuming that the support has to always blow the penis of his adc. I hate the guides that are like "YeAh pRoteCt aDc", as a support main (lately playing other roles to get a break from this pain role) i learnt quite quick that adcs are usually mentally unstable. It's amazing being able to roam to help people, and it's so satisfactory not helping the parasites of your teammates that only cry and be toxic.
