The key to mastering support in League of Legends lies in understanding team needs, strategic ward placement, and effective use of summoner. As an enchanter in low ELO soloQ, finding a duo that can play well is essential. Our League of Legends Support guide provides tips, tricks, and strategy advice to help you master support.
The five easiest Supports to play in League of Legends are Janna, Leona, Soraka, Sona, and Milio. Supports must get by on whatever gold they can, whether that be from Champion Kills/Assists or by farming their Support Item in the early game. In lane, they should heavily exploit whatever item is available. Heal is good if the ADC isn’t taking it, while Barrier can be used when the enemy is very bursty. Cleanse is also run on some tanky supports like Tahm Kench.
The summoner spells gone over are Ignite, Exhaust, Heal, and Cleanse. Exhaust or Barrier is better than Heal when there are threats up close, especially if the ADC really wants to take Heal for the controlled burst of MS. The current order of dodging/hitting spells, vision control, making space for ADC in the planning phase, roam timers, and jungle tracking are recommended.
Support summoner spells include Ignite, Exhaust, Heal, and Cleanse. Some support mains prefer Ignite over Exhaust, such as Thresh and Leona. Some players have tried Aftershock, but it is too strong to give up. If you are only in Platinum, you can choose your preferred spell caster supports.

The problem with helping your adc push waves as a support in low elo is that your adc’s ego won’t allow him to not ping you and type “don’t touch MY minions”. So you either afk or roam while he is doing his thing or you can try to push causing him to rage, waste all his sums and abilities and leave you alone in lane for the rest of the game
The Nami is probably just traumatized by all the ADCs spam pinging questionmarks, if you attack their minions just once… Honestly, so many of my ADCs in Gold tilt, when I auto attack the minions to secure us the level 2 powerspike. The other day, we clearly saw the enemy botlane recall and I for the love of God could not convince my Sivir to shove the lane and recall as well… she pinged me, why I dare to attack the wave. Serious: How am I supposed to manipulate my wave then? My other favorite example: I actually learned how to pull the first wave to deny CSs… which doesn’t help, if my ADC just kills their minions faster than they kill our minion.
Plat support here. I actually understand wave management as adc is my secondary role. The adcs I have don’t understand what it means. You leave a wave in a good spot to go roam and then they shove it. Leaving themselves too far pushed up and die for it. Only thing plat adcs understand is to shove the wave when needed. Same goes for my supports though. The amount of times a support ruins a freeze I have. Or I back with it slow pushing into me and my brand just can’t help himself but to use abilities on the wave.
My playstyle is always oriented towards wave control and positioning into objectives. While we can take into account what is said in the article it is not always an option, i’m gold at the moment so by no means i’m pro but most of the essentials of supports is macro tracking, wave management and vision control. Not always do we get a nice ADC that’s worth giving more attention and care than the team and we don’t always have good games so don’t take it against each other lol. I was hoping to see more vision tips.
Ok so I meant to play support this morning because of this article. But I got adc and felt comfortable about the match heading in. I already also followed your previous Sivir guide and cheater recall tips on cannon wave. Mannnnnn after I say about a week or two of practicing I finally lane dominated my opponent in extreme fashion! 17 KDA and 505 gold a minute. So I appreciate these guides because I really don’t want to be Bronze. I’d like to be at Gold this year because that seems like a reasonable goal based off my current rank of Bronze 4. Also big thanks to my Swain support. He definitely sacrificed himself to save me a few times.
Ok here is the issue with roaming as a support even when the wave is going to bounce back your dumb adc will always try to get that one melee creep that is going to die by walking up and inting.This happens multiples times a game and in every single game. In this article you should throw in a side remark telling adcs not to go for the one creep and just wait its going to come back to you. The 90g you get for a caddy is not wort the 300g, the exp the enemy gets, and all the exp you lose when they hard push and lose the whole wave with a gray screen.
I play Wild Rift and Holy crap. I never thought about letting the enemy sup hit me to gain wave control. I’ll definitely be trying that soon. – what mostly ends up happening is the enemy sup pushes the minions without an ADC or other present (I love when they do this!). I have yet to play witha sup as ADC who will save waves for me ( it happens just very rare). What I have been doing for some time now (thanks to all these articles here on youtube) is setting up a freeze at my tower as a sup. I typically take a lot of damage just to save a few minions for my ADC. What bugs the F out of me is when I’ve done this work and they come back and immediately start pushing the wave, even when our match up is not favorable and/or we’re getting smashed on. I’ll even save minions and set up freezes for my laners when I jungle if I can help it.
as a former grandmaster, this guide is actually somewhat accurate on what presented. Wave Control as support is as important as anything. But that doesn’t mean other laners won’t be able to control their own minion waves to roam around elsewhere. If a midlaner ganks on top, then it’s the midlaner’s job to either push his wave to prevent the enemy wave from pushing to tower after he finishes the gank or secured a kill/rift herald. Roam support is good, but there are some supports who are dominant on bot lane control like sustain supports like Sona, Soraka, Bard, etc. they have better river control. as for the support ganking, it’s the support’s job to clear any wards from the riverside if they unlocked their support ward to get an oracle or control wards the river to prevent ganking. Grandmaster/Challenger supports usually aggros mid to top if they cleared the turret on botside and they are winning. all his ADR had to do is either wait for a dragon call or cs at that point. missing few cs just to shot call on an unimportant objective often leads to ceaseless losing of map control. it’s also the support’s job to make sure their side of the jungle is safe to roam around and alert the team which side of the jungle the enemies are present. like if a lot of enemies are at the red buff side, then their job is to ward some key areas where they are safe to do so or clear off any enemy wards. Point is, there’s literally no reason for you to come over to someone else’s lane to hold it. but in low elo, a lot of times low elo players leave their lane to chase down some kills or force fights that they cannot win, thus missing a lot of CS in the process.
My biggest issue is that none of the adcs i get matched with know how to cs and miss the last shot on minions every single time, I’ll set up a huge wave for them and they’ll just miss it all. Either that or my adc gets tilted when i start autoing or kiteing minions. I’m a support main yet im better at playing adc than most of the adcs i get matched with, especially in the new season.
6:41 yup, I think the main reason that “even if a support has played another lane and knows wave management” they still don’t hit the wave due how toxic adcs are with their minions. How do I know this? I’m a bot main, when I go adc and have to crash I ping my wave. 4 out of 5 times my support understands and starts attacking the wave as well, if they do, that’s a gg from me. Unless they flame anyone.
I don’t know but what I do when I play mid is that I clear lanes faster than my enemy then I will be the one to help other lanes just like what the jungle would do. I think it is very crucial not to let your marksman be alone with a huge minion wave because that would be an easy dive for the enemy making your marksman get killed though it is only my deduction on support going to mid just to get an assist.
This guide is useless just because of ONE rule, When your adc is alone, he dies! 1. When I stay on the line and try to control the wave and then recall, my adc has to survive 1v2 for some time. So he dies, while I am on my way back. 2. If I go roam, my adc dies. 3. Even when I go to put a damn ward in the bush, guess what happened? Yea, my adc dies. So I understood that the only way to keep my adc alive is to stay with him all the game and protect at all costs.
I’m the support that does good and always helps my ADC xD til they think its cute to trash me for their minor inconvenience. Then I just watch them die and feed the enemy lane while I go help the other teammates. As a support it is our job to keep the rest alive.. but we can also pick and choose who to keep alive as well.
this only shows perfect case scenarios. I can guarantee you that braum in low elo would not just watch and stand, so you either have the option to battle back or go back to tower which means you lose out on a lot of lasthit gold. but those scenarios aren’t even mentioned, just “look how great they are, the end”
I remember I had a bronze friend I met while smurfing and he was just afking in the lane and I told him to “when you don’t know what to do, just hit the fucking wave”. 3 weeks later he was silver. He didn’t know why he needed to hit waves even though sometimes his equally clueless adc may flame him but it did work like magic.
Support is the only role you cannot learn by playing it. You have to play other roles to understand what a support should do, the importance of vision, cc, pushing/holding waves, etc. Support is so poorly designed and is such a bait role for beginners with low confidence it’s mindboggling. Plus you get so bullied by your adc it’s like you’re barely above a cannon minion in hierarchy. After playing top I understood support so much more it’s insane.
My problem with wave control is that almost every adc i get wants a different thing and most of the time it doesnt match the champ they play Like, ill get caitlyns who want to sit back and freeze outside our turret range for a whole 8 mins and gets mad that im trying to recall and go help herald, while the draven i get next game is pissed at me for not insta roaming at lvl 3 and thinks im trolling if were not constantly shoving waves all day. So if, no matter what i try to do, i get a slap on the wrist, might as well get a slap of the wrist for doing nothing. Edit : i forgot to add, as i started playing in a draft league, i learned rlly quick what my adc player wanted and within 3-4 matches, we went from looking like maybe the worst bot lane to 3rd best, because this time i knew that if i responded correctly to the “slap on the wrist”, there would not be another one.
The amount of times i played nami and hit every ability and used exhaust and did everything i can while my adc walks into a stun or fights something they cant win and then ping me why i didnt do anything while im sitting there after hitting q and ult, healing, exhausting and enchanting after pinging them back…then they ask why i even play nami without lucian adcs as if nami would be a bad support
The problem with skill-capped guides is that they forget they’re talking about League of Legends, a very well-known game for its toxicity. Now, I won’t lie, my wave management could use improvement. But how am I expected to improve when 9/10 ADCs don’t want ANYONE touching the wave for ANY reason? This is like expecting someone to become better at cooking by ONLY reading cookbooks.
Learning wave control as a support is all well and good until you get an adc who literally perma-pushes the waves no matter what, with no regard for the enemy teamcomp or state of the game. At that point there is nothing the support player can do except do their best to ward for ganks and pray they don’t get camped.
im not sure how to consciously apply wave management at all as its more of an unconscious thing i know to do usually, its really difficult to predict exactly how a wave will be and its really difficult to learn that as well since its not taught very well either when people try to explain it, the article made sense but felt too vague and missed important info that would make it comprehensible
Me, an adc and a supp can say that the reason why we spam the nami with pings is because they dont know how to help push, they lower the life of the minions more than they should because they dont know how to prevent leaving a minion to a basic attack of dying. And as a supp, its not that hard, you should leave the minions up to two minion basic attacks, thats it, your adc will take it even if it doesnt have a long range ability.
I had to stop playing support because literally LATE GAME at the enemies outer base turrents my laner pinged me a bunch and said reported because i was helping push the wave so we could get the turrent XD. Also low elo adcs ive been getting wont let me leave lane to ward then ping my wards and baby rage. Had a adc walk under enemy turrent and die while i was warding cuz the enemy jungle showed mid and was coming botside
I remember that one rank game where I accidentally hit the minions instead of the enemy champs since i used sona’s Q and immediately my adc spammed me with the ? ping and saying he lost his momentum or something lmao so I just muted the varus and somehow we won and I got an S+ and apparently my adc was shitting on my other teammates too lol
lol. playing support is if not the most important role yet all other positions think its a nonsence. same with healers in wow, where thank fucking christ people ACTUALLY understand that it is vital part of the pvp. in league support is “the one unlucky guy who has to fill up the role” and out of anger he throws a tantrum. OR lacks the idea of responsibility to help others or just plainly does not want to since no one will praise his/hers dedication in playing good. People do not suck at support, people cba playing it well since no one appriciates what they do. Period.
You did cherry pick the examples a bit and/or don’t consider the real low elo (Iron-Silver): If you roam bot to mid as support, there’s a decent chance your adc dies instantly and tilts. If the enemy bot, the jungler or the mid catches you out, nobody from your team will react to it in time. Worst case, they engage after you died and blame you for it. So I recommend roaming only with a somewhat mobile champ. Generally speaking, most low elo lanes have both sides pushing the lane and the losing side sitting under the tower. To add pain to misery, the losing side usually is losing for a reason. So even if you manage to waddle mid as a Nautilus, set up the perfect gank and nearly kill the enemy Ahri yourself, your Yasuo might miss his R key and windwall just to get charmed and killed before he tilts. Also, in the example with Samira, she engages with her ult out of range from a full hp Leona 10s away from her ult, blowing her ult and both enemies getting away.
Sorry its another reason. Its because support mains usually suck in general. No real clue about the game, their trash “calls” messing up the whole game and no idea which fight they can take or when to go back. Sure there are good supporter but they usually playd another role and know the actual game.
even after this article i couldnt climb rank faster than before cuz of adc’s ego they wont let me touch there minions when hard pushing or when the wave is frozen and i go to roam he just go on to a 1v2 and chat sp diff than he just either disconnect or afk and also they will do anything to get the plate even i ping them about the enemy jungler they just stood there and get the plate while getting killed
Umm a feedback. Very useful article but would’ve been amaaazing if you just summed up at the end concisely everything you said throughout the article. You know, just the concepts, in short. I think people would really appreciate it. Maybe something you could think about in the future. 🙂 But regardless, great and helpful article 🙂
You forgot to mention that you cant play support without flaming and blame your adc for everything like soak up 4 skill shot and dying, miss every skill shot and blame the adc for it, and yeah i can go on forever. You have not master the support role until you are mastered your ego and being a degenerate toxic asshole towards your adc, and ofc blame everything on them. Then, only then you have mastered the support role and looking at the comments, feels like they have mastered the support role really well. No wonder why so many adc mains quit and just switch roles
There is no way not to suck, when you play support. You see, supports are all about their skills. BUT, you cannot unlock them without leveling up. And what is it that you need to level up? That’s right – farm, minions, creeps or whatever you want to call those funny little guys. There is only one little problem – as support, you cannot touch farm. And yes, touching farm does not mean killing creeps. You must not attack them, or even think about doing that. Or else, your Mighty Adc. who couldn’t do s*it without you, the despicable, useless support, will tag you as “troll” and go AFK. Or worse still, they will start feeding on purpose.
i don’t really agree with this. midlaners? adcs? everyone but the jg is above the support in their ability and need to manage waves. supports cannot push the wave if they even want to in many cases. takes too long, too much mana. you’ll never convince me that there’s a greater need for the ability to manage a wave from the characters that are totally powerless to do anything but get shoved on without the help of another character, or sponge damage. you are not managing waves. not like a midlaner, top, or adc, who build or have built in waveclear. you are looking at wavestates and the map more than everyone else because you don’t have to cs. you should have more knowledge about the waves and making calls. you are not shoving them.
The thing with y’all “How to climb out of low elo by farming/managing waves” is that you seem to not really know how the balls are rolling in plat and below. Because no matter how true your concepts are, 90% of the other players in low elo dont know about them and think you’re griefing when youre going sidelane to farm before next objective while they decided to play ARAM since minute 15. There are ADCs who think wave control is something surfers do and will legit start malding the very second you dare to touch only ONE of their minions… Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if there are players in silver who dont even know what last hitting is. My honest advice, for any role, to climb out of low elo: get fucking cracked at 1, 2 max. 3 champions and play them mechanically so well like youre out of your mind. That’s enough to hit diamond in a reasonable time. I swear. Dont bother with wave stuff that much before you hit diamond. you should know the basic concepts like freeze, slow push and crash but thats about it. You’ll obviously have to learn a lot more about it once you’re there but until then just focus on farming enemy champions
see what people dont know is that its never the supports fault because u cant change ur adc from being shit to good just by spoon feedin them they still have to have the knowledge and awareness to follow up and vice versa i was literally a sup main last season but i gave up cuz no matter if i played a pokesup champ or a aggro sup my adc just didnt know what to do if i hooked up or got them low so i just decided now is a good time to learn how to lane and so far ive been doin quite well i also play meta champs now like morde and just absolutely stomp my laner
Take this situation for example. My adc eats enemy skillshots like certain gentleman from South Park eats hotdogs getting himself killed. Enemy team recalls. The moment they do so im seeing cannon minion wave stacked in mid. What i’ve done was clear this asay fuckin p to shove it under enemy tower so they will miss a cannon and will get pissed off. Well even if a few minions will be caught by them it is better to shove it then leaving enemy adc a free cannon up for grabs eh?
Heya. This is a good article, but I feel you are unfairly harsh on low elo players. The mistakes you are describing are borne of ignorance, they aren’t stupid. I think that when speaking of low elo players making them feel bad about their position is only going to discourage them from playing the game further. I think there’s better ways to talk about it.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Came here to say, you don’t, and don’t fix anything delete game and play something else, if i win lane consistently game after game and lose so many games because my bot lane its 0-20 under 20 min, i’m just throwing my time out of windows without any reward, tried every role, every system, game its simply not working out for me, game its unplayable how bad people are in it, i remember playing dota 2 before and 2vs5 could be dealt with so many times, but this peace of sh game its hard to do even with all players
These are good advices but absolutly not useable in low elo. You guyz have to be realistic. These can only be applied when other players are here to win. And up to Gold, that is not the case at all. Dont get me wrong, I rarely lose my botlane but the problem is, in low elo, in most case, all other lanes are loosing. A article on how to prevent that a support would be more efficient than making your ADC rage quit because you touched a minion. For these degenerated incells, that’s enough to run down the lane. So touching a minion in low elo is completly out of the equation. Unless you want to hear “ok I go feed”. People need to stop ignoring that fact. All of what you said cant be applied in there. And roaming to prevent that ? Then this time the mid will go “Ok I feed”. So.. And if you go ADC to solve that problem, then you got a support that never wards. So… Be real.
We’re just going to ignore how adcs in non-high elo hate and rage at sups attempting wave management because it messes up their last hitting/makes them fear last hits will be stolen. If you push a wave without taking any cs they can literally rage quit, worst advice for low elo supports here since it induces tilt. Also as an adc, it is horrible feeling when your sup messes your wave management thinking it is right.
I recently went supp with a ziggs adc, I had granted him an easy lane win by making sure he got very fed but our midlane was struggling so I roamed up there and got our midlaner a huge shutdown and ziggs started throwing because he was playing too aggressively when he knew I wasn’t there and so he started pinging me complaining that I left lane once. Our midlaner ended up carrying the game after that big shutdown
I already knew and do those things, but always a good article to remind me to do it more often. Problem is though most silver-plat supports probably wouldnt roam more from lane cause the ptsd of adcs raging and in worse cases afking/ragequitting cause they dont get the game and starts dying when you are not around to babysit them 24/7
I am a pyke main. Pyke roams and vision control are very strong. However, many times I find myself with ADCs that don´t know how to be by themselves, they have a slow push coming towards them but they still try to last hit 1 or 2 minions, getting too close and dying in a 2vs1, they blame me and tilt… and then the game becomes much more difficult to win with a tilted adc. Sometimes, I find myself balancing the gains from moving out of line with the loss of the tilting possibility :/
I am bronze IV and I was just playing rankeds as bard support just a while ago and I tried the tips. Man we lost ahaha but actually this was one of my best plays as support. I took the advice and roamed but only when the adc finally understood that he was not a challanger and could not take the others team adc and support alone LoL. When the adc got this message he starded to play safe thankfully and I was able to roam and help other teamates which improved their games. But by the end the mid and the adc where thinking that they were challengers (nooo) and kept trying to solo kill but endup feeding the other team. I got a bit upset but I felt like in this game I was able to improve as support, thanks for the tips!!!
TBH as an ADC I feel like its really obnoxious when your support going roaming around the map aimlessly. Especially b/c often you’re focused on farming and all of the sudden your support is gone while the enemy support is doing their job/putting on pressure. The other annoything thing is often in low elo you get a Naut or a Blitz that does this, gets 2 levels under leveled and then comes back through the river and dies. B/c that same support who was tanky/scarey is now an under leveled piece of garbage. Best thing to do in low elo is just farm up, manage the wave, and ward up when you have Prio.
I need to work on my roams so great vid but the problem is that my adc will always bitch and complain because I’m not there then proceed to knowingly overextend just because they’re impatient and dumb then run it down and say “supp never in lane gg” It’s insane how much adcs rely on their supp till they’re 10/0 and say “ggez all me adc gap” as though they wouldn’t be crying without their supp to spoon feed them kills
Great article. I’ve gotten pretty good (I think) about when/where to place wards and set up vision lines. I am not as good about playing around junglers though. I’ll have to try setting them up more for invades and other plays. I also really like roaming and think they’re spot on with pressuring the map, but one thing I would point out is pressuring other lanes means losing pressure on the bot lane. Recently played a game with a draven that pushed excessively against a very passive brand and zeri lane. As Leona I could not do anything with them always under turret so I started to roam. Helped secure kills for my mid laner but while I was gone the brand suddenly woke up and the bot 2v1’d my draven adc. I need to try communicating before and during the game so my adc understands I will be leaving lane sometimes, that way they might actually play safer and just farm while I’m gone.
Hold on so you’re telling me that one game where I accidentally took smite on bard support (Long day, don’t ask how one accidentally takes smite) and then figured “Fuck it, if I have a junglers summoners, might as well play less like a support and more like a jungler” and do stuff like place shrines to keep my laners and jungler healthy, spam-gank all three lanes, leash every scuttle for my jungler, Cover my junglers invades, get deep vision at every opportunity, set up vision for/deny vision around dragon and herald before helping the relevant lanes get priority to ensure a numbers advantage on top of our double-smite (I didn’t buy a jungle item though, so my smite only did 450 hp, but that still meant that in theory we could smite at 1350 hp, while the enemy jungler had to wait for 900), I was actually playing how you’re supposed to play support, despite being flamed by my jungler throughout the entire game for reasons that I to this day don’t understand? And before anyone asks, the jungler was the only one who had a problem with my playstyle that game, even the ADC loved the “jgl” gap they were experiencing (jgl in quotation-marks because while everyone called it jungle diff, I was still the support). Also for everyone looking for advice on how to play bard 1) Go ask literally anyone else, I am deep in the pits of bronze, I have no idea what I’m doing, I just do random shit and maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, I don’t really care 2) go where the chimes guide you and good plays will come to you.
I don’t get it… In this particular and most other articles you suggest to always path towards mid/bot to hover but in one of the rell article you said to roam only if u have tempo advantage and path direct bot if you and your adc recall at the same time (for most part) or try to 2v1 in bot if u have tempo over enemy support
I use to roam as support till one match I got yelled at to get out of the mid lane and to stay the fck in bot lane. Needless to say the mid ended up feeding and I watched it from bot lane. There really is no winning as support mains. It is for sure a damn if you do and damn if you don’t. I had one match where I had a 50+ vision score and was still getting yelled at that I needed to ward. I miss the days where support just stuck with the jungle.
Over-roaming is one of the biggest reasons why low Elo engage supports don’t climb. How often did I see absolutely clueless Leona/Naut running around in circles for 3-4 min in row, ganking empty lanes, helping jungler to do jungle camps etc. while ADC is getting zoned, chain-dived. Always end up in fed enemy bot lane and Leona’s ADC being semi-afk for the rest of the game.
Sounds good doesnt work in low elo. ADs have a very bad habit in trying to 1v2 when you are gone, you can make a good engage 2v2 but adc refuse to follow up cause he made an professional analysis in 0,1 sec which says you cant win the fight, but wont hesitate 2 min later to try a pure 1v2 and shockingly die. Also I think the article ignores alot of other problems with sup roaming, the AD can be zoned out from gaining CS, enemy bot earning plate gold etc. I think supports need to be very careful when to roam and when to not.
My ADC never wants me to do stuff like this I always get flamed, I will stand back when they get the turret gold so they get it all and they pinging me repeatedly to assist, I shadow them when they are split pushing from jungle and take camps for them so they can just last hit it and get the gold and they will just ignore me pinging them to take it while I slowly get beaten to death by chickens and they walk off to recall xD I hope that when I get into gold tier level play they might know what I am trying to help them with. I roam to go place my red ward and see if I can assist with anything mid on my way back to lane and they will just hard push the wave and die like 50 percent of the time. I think a lot of it comes from the fact that ADC at low elo only know how to play hyper aggressive and don’t know what to do if they don’t have a six kill lead at all times. I have a much better time when my gf plays my adc because she knows what to do.
You can’t really roam that much in lower elo unless you can trust your ADC or yall duoing because your ADC is just going to feed and not be patient to farm. I don’t how many times I’ve tried this method when I play support and its just bad domino effect. ADC will feed over and over again then we lose priority over drag. I feel like high elo players forget how it is in low elo (Yes I know there is smurfs but even still thats different because yall just destroy and don’t really see whats actually going on). Its a completely totally different play style. You got people trying to fight their enemy laner that has more CS and completed item, when they only have a half item. They don’t know when to fight and when not to. They don’t know when and which champs are spiking or when they fall off and the list goes on. Unlike high elo players, they know all these things. High elo players classic line “No one wards in low elo” << that right there is complete BS. I don't know anyone that doesn't ward and never played against someone that didn't ward. I feel like that saying is an old wisemen tale.
Hi. In a few days I will have school LOL turnament. I wonder if you could give me some advices to help to coordinate team and maby some good strategy to fight for something. Avarage elo of my team is about silver 2 so if You can help me don’t get too crazy with plans. I appreciate all help I can get. ^_^
I disagree heavily with the first two points. You should not just leave your lane as a support if the means you’re leaving your adc 2v1 like you’ve impliied. I’m sure you knew this but didn’t state i. Many of the times that worked for the nautilus is cuz it was Pyke who can just escape and your adc must have a freeze or ways to deal with the other team. Even still if the enemy support isn’t punishing that then they’re an idiot, and if they do punish your lack of presence then you’re coming back to a lane which you’re now at a major disadvantage. There’s many aspects to why things work and don’t but simply “you should roam” will and won’t work,
The first concept is dogshit. People have no idea what to do with the “pressure” that you provide. I really love having to lane 1v2, having no way of getting farm then get stomped by enemy’s solo lanes, because support’s roams did nothing. So, the first concept should be kept for “higher brackets of the ladder”. However, sometimes roams indeed worked, but that doesn’t happen frequently.
