This is an unbelievably good bot lane guide, not just for supports, but for ADC. 100 out of 10. If I can offer one minor critique, I'd love a mention of not simply executing the cannon minion BECAUSE YOU CAN, which pushes the lane, when you have the advantage in a lane freeze situation. But geez, I really wish every support AND adc would watch this, the lessons in here are phenomenal, and the reason why I keep paying to use skillcapped. Iron to gold in 2 seasons, no shit.

[jaykelly]

I feel so proud of myself that I've discovered these concepts and techniques naturally as I learned the game. To watch an in-depth guide really polishes my game knowledge

[gruchaczpl]

Yeah the thing about swaping with mid to take turret is nice until ur midlaner starts pinging u and fuming on chat taking ur cs aswell

[andrewlogan]

Just remember you're not a babysitter. Your adc will cry some games just ignore it. Sometimes lane is just lost and you will want to rotate mid or top. You are the reason your team will win not your teamates. This is not true but you should act like it is

Fixed min 1:25: "You really don't wanna be leashing, since junglers don't require leashs anymore to clear befor 3:30. And you really don't want to give away your lane pressure"

[palimike]

Thank you for giving us supports some solid love!

As a support who is in iron and bronze this guide is great but I can't tell you how many times I go to set up the lvl 2 and my adc doesn't hit the right minons to spike and I die for it. Just rember leaning involves the adc and if they don't know what to do you get stuck under your tower constantly pushed in with them.

"Always look to trade your health with the enemy ADC"

There are exceptions to every rule if the enemy Support is Soraka DO! NOT! DO! THIS! The number of times I see bot lanes lose either because they go after my ADC when I play Soraka or they try to focus the enemy ADC while Soraka just free heals all the damage is depressing.

I get why you wouldn't/couldn't include it in the video, but I can already see some clueless wanna be challenger adc getting pissed at me for not blindly trading with an adc while raka spam heals them.

[luizfepe]

As an honest feedback, sometimes it gets confusing. For example, i hear "if you AD dies 2x1 because you roamed, he would not be able to carry anyway", but then when it is 2x1 against their AD, i hear "thats an easy dive".
So I roam, my AD gets dove 2x1, I blane the AD with the argument "you would never be able to carry anyway" since now he just died abd lost a ton of XP and plates

[mikunatic]

I'm a jungler just wanting to learn more about the other lanes and how they should work, and man, this is a punch of knowledge right in my face, love you content

[I_dacookies]

Hi, skill capped. I've been following your yt guides since my 7th grade, I'm now in college and I still benefit from your recent materials even if they are stuff you have touched on before or stuff I already have learned. What's amazing is that these skills are transferrable to League's mobile Wild Rift. (League Pc is too time consuming so . . . )

Whenever I am in a stump in the rank ladder I revisit your concepts, since most of the time in high elo it's all just polishing the basics to complete the 100%

[Srirchaa]

Followed this guid I was gold 1 and now I’m gold 4 !!! 🥰

[Motivatioconnect]

completely lie about the money back, im still waiting for 2 years

[paulzosimo]

how i wish there is skillcapped courses for wildrift, its basically the same game but i think having courses for wildrift players will esucate them and make them better players

[VoidRemoma]

As a 8 year jungle main turned support main because I love Senna and Bard, this is such a good fundamentals video and it's opened my eyes to a lot of things, thank you so much!

[EngelRaziel]

Dang I consumed so much from your website that nothing here was new :D
But guess what, 80% of my league playtime I was hardstuck platin and after watching all your stuff I'm finally Dia.

[dstout]

Had myself a few giggles at “go ahead and punish that ADC!” … Pyke and Samira 😂

[snolls]

I watched this back to back with the adc video, so it's kinda funny that the first few points in both videos are identical.

[checkyoursixgaming]

Everything here is right, but that doesn't work in actual gameplay in low elo most of the time. Trying for the push advantage at level 1 as a support? Watch your ADC flame you for "touching the wave" and then troll you. Seen it happen way too often. This goes for trying to setup rebounds and good backs. Literally have had ADC's leave the game and claim 9x report me for even hitting a minion once. This was even with the support item that grants them the gold when I kill it. That is how bad low elo players are. I am serious when I say 7 out of 10 ADC players plat and below still do not know how the support item works in the game at all.

If you do the recall trick for a bounce back and have to trust your ADC that decides to stay in the lane to not die... good luck with that. I get so many ADC's that won't let it bounce back and over extend 1v2 after I leave lane. They die, flame me, and then troll me the rest of the game.

Roam timers to mid or other lanes in low elo don't always work out well either. Again, the solo laner gets mad that you are "stealing" their exps by being there when you show up even if you setup a fat kill for them on the gank.

The problem with support is that the rest of the player base that doesn't play support think the role is just subpar and the odd one out. Especially in lower elos. Most mid laners for example would still look up guides on jungle and top to see how they play there. Just incase they get off-roled into those positions and to help them in mid understand the "stronger" positions from both teams. They won't do that for support game play. A lot of mid's in low elo get massively upset the moment they see their support coming to their lane.

finally xD i've been waiting forever for the support guide
