I've never seen a Brand play that passively ever and seeing how he's standing behind his adc gives me PTSD.

[annasagiakou]

Reality is, though, that when you roam after first back the adc dies and starts crying "Leona wtf, stay with me, look at other support, other support is good and protects. Report this leona trash" meanwhile this Leona 1/0/4, vision everywhere, first drake secured, mid pushing, flash still up

[Grape_TFT]

That Leona buying mobis just to run back to lane is the *chefs kiss* of Platinum players

[DavidBrocekArt]

It's really hard to apply high elo strategy, when you have 4 teammates who just simply don't have this mentality of even improving. Most low elo players are just addicted to that "Kill = good" dopamine rush, and they don't think, they don't plan, they don't have any strategy. And if you do something against their will, they will just afk or troll.

[benjoleo]

it's quite simple really:
my support->bad
enemy support->good

[stefanmadzharov]

He is demolishing 99.99% of the playerbase with arthritis... massive respect!

[krioshhh]

the only reason for Brand to stand like that must be his >400 ping... even I, a bronze draft fill player found out that brushes are important

I got diamond 2 this season, but the problem i had with doing roams after killing bot in diamond 4 and below in other lanes, was not that i didnt know to do it. It was more the frustration of tilting your adc over you not being there and eventually he would die 2-1 before you would be back in lane and spampinging and flaming you or even to some extend afk or throw the game.

[catfood]

My experience is adc players have the worst laning knowledge until d2, most of the times adc in low elo can get away with zero interaction in lane, it’s either let the supp do all the work or both sides doing nothing till jg or mid gets in

[kaydegarde]

I like how this channel will have a clickbait title and then the video is actually educational and informative. Keep up the good work fellas.

[sugarstealer]

The problem I experience the most as a supp main is that my adc sometimes wont engage, at the right moments. I will play thresh for instance, hook the adc when his support is off lane and go in. But my Adc wouldn’t follow up or pick up my lantern leaving me stuck in a 1 V 1 against an adc which I’m going to lose. What do I need to do in those situations?

EDIT: I see this comment got a lot of attention and I am thankful for the helpful comments, all I want to say is that the example given above is an example and it isn’t the only thing that bothers me. Sometimes I play Bard, shove wave with adc and go for a roam to collect my chimes and gank some lanes while my adc overextends and dies, at those moments my adc generally pings me, starts to rage and sometimes event ints. Just again this is just an example of shit I come across when playing support. Most of the time I just mute them and go focus on other lanes to help those out but this often just makes the ADC run it down. Thankfully it’s going better now and Im (kinda steadily) climbing by just sticking with whomever is strongest on the team and let the adc go fuck themselves if they are literally going in for a 1 v 2 anyway. Ive also learned to expect the absolute worst of my adc. I recommend you adc players to do the same with your supports, sometimes the other player is a god, sometimes they pressed d to dance

[BrokenSupport]

Even tho I’m a wild rift player now, I played LoL for 7 years as a main support and this video is just A MASTER PIECE! I’m 100% sharing this with everyone what an amazing job!

[samcresswell]

Brand constantly standing next to Jhin is also a massive mistake. It makes it super easy for Morgana to hit both of them with W and both Caitlyn and Morg have double the chance to land Q because they can aim it at both players. Its also easier to dodge Brand's Q and Jhin's W because they're coming from the same direction.

If they stand in a parallel line, it makes it much harder for the enemy botlane to trade, especially if Brand keeps walking into the bushes.

[sirhc]

But what the Lulu does at 8:30 will often result in a dead ADC in low elo.
Because the Lucian is now alone on the lane against 2 and dies there somehow.
He then start flaming the Lulu, no matter if she assists with 2 Kills.

You now have a midlaner and jungler with +1 kill but also a flaming/raging ADC and free farming enemy botlane.

[XUltrasund]

This isn't an excuse, but in low elo, some people don't actually know what their, or other champions do. It's like that jhin didn't know Morgana even has a Q that can root effect, I've seen and been in many examples where my support who has two potions, and bonus HP regen with their support item is hiding behind me the adc as to not get hit by Lux's or Morgana's Q.

That Nami roamed when she did because she knew that every one of her allies know what their and her champion does.

[lucykitsune]

My ADCs think I am joking when I's telling them I will jump in literally the frame I hit level 2. I am not. I play Leona in an elo/mmr where peoples reaction to the enemy Leona hitting Level 2 before you is to walk up and try to kill minions before Leona jumps on them.

"You can get to challenger with average mechanics" -Someone in Challenger (Probably)

But seriously, I'd love to see a challenger player coach an iron player to even Master with the mindset of "average mechanics is good enough"

[AlbertStone]

1 player in gold/plat that knows macro can't "easily climb" as you guys says in all videos. The whole team must want to win and make good decisions. While you macro your team is inting on enemy jungle with numbers disavantage.

[lordmango]

Dang, the explanation of the Nami roam is really gonna help me. I think I can apply this is Wild Rift too

[surumeman]

in the real low elo like below silver, you need an ability to know how bad your adc is and just ditch him for the entire laning phase.

One time I got my autofill adc 5 kills and he proceeded to int the lead away.
Soon as I realize my ad is autofill, I'll just gank jungler/midlaner or even toplaner becausd it's more important that human being is fed.
Plus, if you roam like crazy they'll start matching your roam, and botlane becomes farmville, which stabilize the autofill.

Idk about plat + but this was how I got out of silver-low gold.
