r/supportlol

For some reason every time I pick something like braum or similar where the support is there but the damage is not, the adc are always bot tier and I have no chance to save bot myself.

On other champs like lux, seraphine etc you can just go full damage and win bot by yourself.

which champs are your go to when the adc just fail?

Im onetricking Galio Support in Master(hovering on 100-200 LP) and i am heavily favouring Zeke either as 1st or 2nd depending on the game. And Mandate is 3rd+ if i even build it at all.

But a lot of the guides out there or even high Elo Galio players do not build Zeke at all , ever.

Especially post Mandate Rework as it fullfills the same niche(ult cooldown reduction) among other buffs as well like massive cd reduction to W and E as well as the Vuln effect.

But i do not think Mandate is worth as 1st/2nd item on most gamestates, Galio is on the squishy side of Tank Supports , and especially in Solo/Queue where most players dont like frontlining , im usually the sole tank , going Solari into mandate usually means im getting bursted down and its not like Galio has easy target access like a Naut or Safe target access like a Thresh, Galio needs to be in the middle of the fight with less tools to work with(Q is near useless on Support) and no way out. In most games the Damage is there in some form and if its not and i need a Vuln effect i can get Bloodsong.

Am i delulu? Are the other Galio players delulu? Is the Sample player of good Galio Supports too small? Or is it just "new item" must build? Im wondering what some better Galio players have to say about this.

Can you guys tell me what kind of items i should buy .i know it depends on situation but I am new and trying to play support

Well, I played league for a long time(10 years if I'm not wrong), in this time I ended up playing with a lot of champs some easy others more complex and I'm pretty good with the hard ones, but as I went back to ranked games I felt that picking hard champs instead the easy ones weren't very efficient, mostly because I thought more on my mechanics than the macro. Instead I kept with easy champs(like Rell, lux, Nautilus, Leona) and began climbing faster and easier. So, should I just continue playing with easy champs or get out of my comfort zone and try harder ones(like thresh, bard, Nami, pyke, etc)? Edit: I went from silver to plat 2. And sorry for my poor English, it's not my first language.

Hello, this will be my first time attending an esports event, so I'm not sure how everything works. I want to buy a lol ticket for EWC. The schedule shows multiple matches at the same time. If I buy a LoL day ticket, can I freely watch any match? If many people want to watch T1, is seating guaranteed, or can a stage become full? How does this work for spectators?

what are your thoughts on him? is he annoying and actively challenging you in lane, or is he a snoozefest and easy to kill once you can?

Hey! I'm climbing rn in ranked this season and I'm currently silver IV. My main pick to climb was thresh which in my opinion is very reliable, but in some cases when playing with champs like ezreal or zeri, I prefer to pick up bard. Do I need more champs to climb or are thresh and bard enough?

Any help is appreciated!! <3

Hello, I wanted to know what people think about going Demolish over Font of Life when using Aftershock or Guardian on melee supports. The healing doesn't scale with anything other than Heal/Shield Power which is not something they tend to stack, and being able to take tower plates more easily should give you a bit of extra gold + more XP for the ADC's role quest. I imagine it woulf be a situational choice, but what do you guys think?

hello i am a tahm kench main and usually i play him top but since top lane rn dosent feel the most fun to play i thought about trying adc kench,if you have any questions of if u wanna try to play some games together,just let me know here!ALSO IN EUW forgot to mention earlier in post

Been climbing on support playing pantheon recently. And I had a game recently where my adc was cursing me constantly because I was getting a lot of kills. Blaming me for them being super behind and not being in the game at all. Now I can’t imagine it was all my fault that they were 1/12. But i did feel a bit bad about it.

I don’t purposely deny kills to the laners and jungle by any means but i will take the kill if i think there’s any chance that the target might either kill one of my team or manage to escape.

I was thinking about it again after my recent game where I was 16/4/12 by the end of the game. Which was by far the most kills on the team.

Am I trolling by taking kills?

I know this is an extremely noobish question, but I'm a new player who just started picking up the support role. I know my item upgrades itself automatically, but after figuring out how to enable the chat (another mistake in itself, perhaps!) people have been telling me to upgrade my support item -- but they haven't been as helpful in explaining how exactly that is done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yo, low elo supports why do you guys take your adcs waves? Even your mid laners waves, just waves in general.

I’m an emerald adc main and generally supports are actually quite nice, they can int but they’ll hold waves for you die for you, try and peel you.

However, when I went on my smurf account which is like silver 3 rn with high silver / low gold mmr supports just take all your waves why do yall do this. It’s like instantly noticeable, makes me kinda appreciate the supports I have in my own elo, all the love to yall.

Some examples, lux supports using e and ult to clear the wave, brand supports just walking up taking your mid wave. Once I was playing mid and me and the adc swapped, the support stayed bot (first tower was already taken), and he just started taking the waves. This is normally to your detriment as well because if im not trying to take the wave it’s not safe, yall walk up and try and farm it anyways.

It’s not because of the skill of your adc atleast I think I’m kinda decent. I try not to play champs I’m really bad at so I dont just completely ruin the games for everyone but still not enough to make me a bad player.

If you want all these resources why don’t you just play mid or just take your mage pick and be the adc

The duo I was playing with ended up blocking me for my thoughts about the matchup, so I wanna get y'alls opinions 'cause I find it kinda hilarious.

Since I always accept to swap picks, hoping to improve the team spirit or dumb things like that, I often and up blind picking support and this time I ended up having to play nautilus-trist into morgana-zeri. The dude kept telling me to punish the morgana walking up(he was getting pushed back by zeri so we could only trade in front of their wave), I decided to actually respect the lane and thought twice before getting poked for free. At one point he got to my nerves and I did what he asked, 'punished' her instead of walking away and I ended up dying for it, having just a a ruby and boots at that point. From there on he just kept talking about being tristana, having the burst and all that while ignoring he was behind in gold, items and hitting minions during trades.

Now, am I just stupid and ignore some secret tech to beat morgana early while my adc can't clear waves or was he rage baiting me?

I’m plat4, normal plat mmr, 54% wr and on a 3 game win streak but I’m still getting +20 -26 while my friend who plays mid(not duo) is getting +26 -14 with 52% wr and no win streak? I consistently perform top 2-3 in the team and mostly get As and Ss grades, what am I doing wrong?
