  • Welcome to A Terrible Guide to League of Legends. A comedy series inspired by JoCat's A Crap Guide to D&D where I give you a guide to various aspects of the hit MOBA League of Legends. Today's guide is about the role of support and how it drains you of all of your wanting to play the game until you stop being a support and become the carry!

    The backline support that just heals and shields
    The front line support that engages and initiates
    The mage support that is basically just a regular mage but has some support skills

    We have to mention the worst part of being a support... Control wards.
    Supports sink so much money into these without even understanding why they're doing it. 1 competently placed control ward is both generating gold through the capture of enemy wards, and a safe vision zone for your team and against enemy team.
    Spamming control wards on the other hand, typically when you ward tribush, it gets cleared, you place your second one, 2 minutes later it also gets cleared cuz you're under pressure. Good job you've lost 150g on nothing, half a kill or an entire wave worth of gold poofed out of existence and you wonder why you're sitting on kindlegem at min 18.
    Work less, work smarter, save your control wards and stop wasting your gold.

      Also in order for adcs to deal damage most of them have to be in medium range, close enough for assassins and some fighters to dash at them. If there is no team stopping these assaults adcs have little they can do about that.

      The video explains the reasons why people queue up as mage support. The big one for me is that I have more agency. A handful of times I decide at about 10 minutes in that I’m the bot lane carry because they’re doing so poorly and I start building full ap and carry. When you play pure heal/shield/tank supports, sometimes you feel that agency slip away.

I main mid and support, and yes, I do sometimes play Zyra mid and have a good time with it. When I go support, I still play Zyra because I want to be able to take over if my ADC isn't doing well. I don't start the game with this mentality. I start the game playing a peeling/catcher support with no intent to steal kills. If my ADC can competently act on my catches, we're good, but if they're not doing their job, I like knowing I can take over and still carry the lane. I sit between Emerald and Diamond pretty consistently this way. Maybe I could climb higher with a proper support or if I took Zyra to the Jungle, but I like what I do, and I'm content with my rank.

    This is just a gut feeling, but I feel like part of the reason it feels so hard to impact the game as a supp is the role just doesn't use gold all that well. Because you can't farm, and your passive income can't fully make up for that for balance reasons, getting a kill at any point in the game will mean less for you. You can't use the gold to spike like every other role because even with a kill you are only breaking even with a passively farming laner. You can't even really use the pressure from getting a kill either as you would just be stealing XP and gold from one of your laners by trying.

    One of my favourite things as an ex-support main turned ADC is when my support hovers Senna and I lock in Enchanter Seraphine in response.
    Essentially we've just role swapped. I just make gold through CSing and Senna gets it through support item and souls.
    Really does demonstrate who does and who doesn't have the skillset to play Senna, and worst case scenario I bring my heals, shields, Buffs and CC to my Midlaner and Jungler who are more capable of carrying.

    Reminds me of a game when I was Blitzcrank and enemy was Tresh. I felt super bad for him, because his adc always positioned super bad and always got hooked by me. Meanwhile my adc was first-timing Jinx and kept saying "Wow why is the game so easy".
    Or a game when I played Soraka and my Draven couldnt be even a second alone without dying and blaming me.
    But some of my favourite memories are when I either saved my teammates ass and they thanked me or I killed the enemy by.. redemption. Too slow to run away.

  • @Ruheschrei

    here is my advice if you want to play support:
    get a fk good duo partner, someone who fits you, a real friend, and most important: someone you don't need to talk a lot with because u think alike
    its so important for your own sanity.
    then every time your adc gets a kill with your help - your (good) partner will thank you for having the back, everytime you throw ur life in line, maybe even dying - the team going "gg nub" on you - your partner will thank you for saving his life and gold advantage. and he will repay you later with winning the match. every time you go in for a risky shit move - ur (good) partner will follow even when nobody else will. and even if u die - your partner will laugh with you "next time bro"
    Never - solo Q as support. Just don't do it.
    ps: if you see this Pap - you will always be my only duo partner! I love you man! - your Leichenfresser

    Support is a pretty broken role and I’m saying this as someone who kinda mains support now. Your impact on the game scales with game knowledge more than your actual mechanical skills. As the support you can play any champion with any items and any runes you want because you don’t have to cs. This means you can look at what both teams win conditions are and play to either stop the enemies win conditions, help your teams win conditions, or do both in really good scenarios. The only role that has more maximum potential to impact the game is jg.

    Lee Sin support is so fun. Infinite amount of wards so you always have a dash, hits pretty hard pre 6, can insec the enemy adc once Lee hits lvl 6, good at roaming since he's primarly a jungle, omega fun since you're playing Lee Sin, and also it kinda makes you less useless late game since because you're support you're not supposed to be a damage dealer, so the downside of Lee Sin jungle (having a shitty late game where you just exist to insec or smite objectives) becomes less frustrating when you're playing support.

Leona is a really good splitpusher and duelist AND Leone Jungle plays basically like Leona support, except the crybaby down south is not your responsibility and you actually have some gold to buy better items and maybe even build some bruiser-items that give you enough damage to actually be a threat whilst still having enough durability in your kit to just say "No thank you!" to any attempts to damage you.

    Honestly, whether i enjoy my lane as support completely depends on my ADC, if they're just there to farm till 20 then i'm gonna go roam while they sit under tower, doing anything else is the most boring thing. If i have an ADC that actually wants to make plays then i'm down to clown on the enemy, if we push them under tower lets gank mid, or kill the enemy jungle, or get an objective, you can make plays so early and you don't need to worry about farm, your job is exclusively to make things happen, which is also why jungles my second favorite. Why farm minions when the champions are right there?
    But yeah the undeserved whining is crazy, the amount of times someone ints and then whines their ass off is wild, and honestly the best approach i've found is to just RP an abused house wife and stroke their massive egos, like it's how you rank up as a support the fastest, it's wild. In jungle it's much harder, i just generally tell them i only gank winning lanes because i don't waste time on bad players, then the enemy(usually top lane) will overextend like 3 times in a row because my laner will stop overextending assuming im gonna help them, and we get the ball rolling again.
