How to Play Support - League of Legends
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Support seems to be the least favored role in low elo, and I believe that's because you have a fair bit of responsibility which very little amount of people know, in this video I'll do my best to explain how to play the role. Back in Season 3 when I first started playing I wasn't able to find a single decent video on UA-cam explaining how Support works. After a few years of learning Support by myself, I've achieved diamond rank and soon challenger. So hopefully all the information that I have put into this video will help you improve as a player by having better understanding of the role.

Finally someone talks about support...
Ive searching for support guides here for ages
THANKS MILKY IT WAS SUCH AN AWESOME GUIDE
+Slender Ash Glad you enjoyed it!
Your picture makes this danmaku even better.
:13 "it's the most selfless role of the game"
so THAT'S why my friends suck ass at support!!
haha
IMVADER2 ooh selfless. ..
I understoood selfish and got confused xD
maybe thats why i am so good on Support ^^
I recently started playing LoL and my friends says that I suck at support and this video helped me a lot!
I still suck but with style :D
+Jorge Calvo Practice makes perfect ;)
+Milky well I recently got an S as Supp with Poppy, so than you :)
@@joorge.7 damn so you're Challenger now?
I fucking love playing support but no one ever thank me for the save or kill I give them 😓 feels bad men...
You get used to it man, real recognizes real.
Really I always get complimented when I make a play your team don't deserve support players
Hard feelings man. I went 2/13/30 as Thresh yet none of my teammates except Varus thanked me for feeding Varus and taking Jinx ults for them.
+AaronGaming101 Melendez yeah I feel you bro..
i know what ur talking about, thats why i main thresh, so people say "what a god threah" if i for example land a flash hook predicting a ezreal E
great vid. Thanks! When I watched this I thought that it was by a really big youtuber because the video is well organized and clear to understand. Thumbs up.
big youtubers would give better examples in video following what he says, not just random teamfights. But i agree in a level with you
i love playing support but i keep feeling like i am missing them big plays but watching this has make me think a little bit more on how i could and where i must learn to get better at my role really glad i stumbled on this vid
I just started playing at the end of last season and this guide helps so much! Thank you Milky for your timeless support advice!
Pretty good basic video.
On a second video (if you make one), I recommend talking about warding paths and recall timers. Generally, if you reset the lane properly and recall, you can buy boots+pink ward then walk into the enemy jungle to put it down, then decide to roam to a lane after or help your ADC, who shouldn't be suffering since the lane should be slowly pushing into him.
Also, a lot of lower ELO supports overstay on the map, and all their vision expires. At the professional level, they pick an objective, throw down wards, then instantly go back for more wards once the objective is removed or incontestable. A massive part of the support's job is to make contesting objectives as safe as possible (by granting tactical advantages through vision).
Also, a short demonstration of trading from might be good for some players, showing them the dos and don't of trading and zoning as a support. There are probably videos on that, but it's nice to have the support's perspective as well, since there are slight differences.
There are probably other things you can add, but these two are the ones I focus on the most whenever I play support. You probably have many more topics to add on top of this as a support main.
And the reasons I feel support is under-appreciated at the low ELOs is because 1) they don't understand that vision and vision denial is an objective, and even then they don't have the map awareness to utilize vision or the tactical understanding of the strength of vision denial (especially in combination with vision advantage). 2) You rarely get to kill people and be the obvious hard carry, even if you are in fact the MVP. And 3) it's very team-reliant, and many low ELO players believe they're stuck in low ELO solely because their team sucks. Supports give the team plenty of options and utility for their team to use IF they choose to use it (assuming they even know they're there).
+Oreoclan Awesome ideas man, I'll be sure to talk about these topics when I'm free to make my next video. Cheers mate.
Bro ty for the guide I've been looking all around for a general support guide and this is the only one I could find :D
Im not sure how I haven't found you yet. I don't do ranked however people who are ranked always tell me I should play ranked as I would easily make Diamond with my skills. Awesome guide. You got yourself another sub, keep up the awesome work man.
This video is of pro quality.
The explanations were clear and very well done.
You also seem to be really good at the game.
I hope you do more.
+Oxy Worgon Thanks mate, I'm currently busy with school right now but expect more videos soon.
Milky AWESOME.
i was worried when i saw your last vid was a few months ago.
Looking forward to them :)
Thank you so much for tips. I'd gotten to silver playing only support, but listening to your guide on proper order to rush support items and also, stressing once again the importance of map awareness got me into gold. =D Don't know if it was just the simple short format that got me here but I definitely know that something here got into my head. Have turned around a 50-50 win rate to about a 60-40 win rate... for now.
You did a great job introducing and explaining the key concepts.
I would've loved to see clips relating to each talking point and perhaps a slow motion breakdown on what the support was doing and how it brought an advantage to the team. It would also be nice to have a description of the warding spots on the images.
However, the video as is will be very helpful to new or inexperienced players :)
Thanks for this guide even though it's 1 year old!!
I've just started maining support, and then this guide came on my screen!
Subscribed!!
Good as overview and how to video! Now your role makes more sense, keep it up milky!
Thanks a lot for the guide ! I particularly love the warding maps you took the time to make, it's great !
I'm a support main myself and I'd say this was a great guide! I just subbed as I look forward to more awesome videos. Keep it up :)
Support is actually way more fun if you really get into it. I love hitting stuns and so on, feels good man. Assists are nice to get as well and it's way easier to get your role.
same
Dinosaur or when you save your adc from 4 enemy champs
I feel like ppl always only make guides for pretty new players because they are comparatively easy to make. I would like to see more in depth guides. For one special Champ or on how to wavecontrol (lasthitting the 3 caster minions for example). Maybe make a guide with tips when you should go roam (my adc's seem to die all the time i leave). What do you do if you fall behind the enemy bot lane and get zoned or something.
So basically, for new players this guide is really good, but go for some more advanced tactics :)
Very instructive and helpful, keep up the good work!
+acyl daas Cheers mate :)
+Milky whats the music at 0:03?
+Karol Niedziałkowski The song name is in the description :)
great video and edits! :D
It helped me a lot, you deserve a lot of more subscribers
Thank you very much man, seriously you helped a lot i started from 0 to 10.
Thanks for making this Support Guide, I'm new to League and my friends added me to their team, and it seems just as that I have to take the support role, even tho I have always been ADC (for now, since it was the role really comfortable to play with for me) - I have no problem with it, since I've kind of expected it, because the stereo type "females play support". And this kinda really motivates me to be a good support? I dunno :D But this really helped me and I will practise to be a good support from now. Thank you!
That stereotype is one of the reasons why I want to main top instead 😂
+Frostwolf As you climb higher that stereotype fades, that females play support. I've supported many female ADC players my self (male) and they have carried me through some deep shit if I may add. For me you should play the role that you feel comfortable with, you should ask your teammates for a chance. ^_^
I love playing support as either Nami or Morgana for an aggressive support and Janna for a passive aggressive support. Although I prefer playing Nami overall because of how amazing her kit works for me. I just love landing a double or triple bubble on the enemy team and watch as my team decimates them. Also occasionally stealing kills as Nami is just so funny to me that I cant help but have a giggle that bursts into maniacal laughter when they happen. When ks as Morg, it's less funny and more predictable since i build mostly utility ap items on her after boots, sightstone and Frost Queens' Claim.
great video man, you deserve more subs. keep at it!
i enjoy boots of swiftness on disengage type supports because when your kiting sometimes you cant wait for that speed boost from mobility boots and need to get to your allies quickly.
Really great vid man. Helped a lot. Maybe you can start recording your games and showing us some advanced pro strats.
thanks Milky im a bronze support main, (so yeah im bad) this video helped me alot especially since there are hardly any videos focusing on support. This video helped me alot, and i would love to see a part 2 or an updated guide.
I'm a bronze I supp main, in my opinion it's harder to climb as supp do to your reliance on your team( I am not saying I'm stuck I'm bronze because of my team)
In bronze*
+The Red Snorlax I agree man, as a support with little to know dps, you have to rely on having a at least decent adc, you could play a mage "support" but honestyl as a general rule i dont enjpy playing them.i main mostly soraka and thresh (in ranked) and sometimes ali, and it can be hard because of how reliant you are on having a good adc. sure if you're good enough you can make up for it but not a whole lot and not always.
+Markise Daniels I think Blitzcrank in lower Elos is a good choice because even the most retarded adc can shoot a target that is grabbed and then knocked up, hence basically incapacitated for 4-5 seconds. It's also great for zoning because people are really really scared from your grab. And essentially your grab is gamebraking. You can miss literally all your grabs in the game but if you just hit one at the right time, it can make the comeback for your team if they're behind. Finally, your passive is easily abused to bait enemies, especially in lower Elos where if people see a low-health target most of the time they just mindlessly jump on them even if they have 0 vision around.
Loved the clips in the vid, very entertaining to watch :)
Can you explore the support role for season 7, or even 8 (when it comes). so many awesome items, and meta changes happening now. would love to capitalize on that while season 7 still available. Thanks for the guide, great tips and clear explanation.
I'll tell you my story as a support. I've started playing as a support a few weeks ago and I had no idea how to play. I chose Lux and just thought healing teammates is the only thing I have to do, besides that I can keep playing as usual. So that's why I kept farming minions and when my ADC said stop doing that I said why do you take all of them. OMG!
Eventually he left the bottom lane and I kept playing alone. Interestingly I fought against 2 players and I killed them for a few times. And wrote my ADC "see I can do it by myself". So I want to say sorry if he/she hears me, I was just an ignorant. LoL
Very nicely done, keep up the good quality videos ^_^
7:29 that alistar play.. woww
I'm terrible at support. Please make more videos! You could even pick a support and talk about their specific mechanics. I NEED help since I'm always getting stuck playing as support in blind queue and I'm terrible. Is there such a thing as a carry support? Zyra?
I main Support. Here's really important stuff:
Have control of your sorroundings. In laning phase, always have vision, be sure where the enemy jungler is, pay attention to ganks, you need to keep track of enemy summoners (e.g. when the enemy carry has no flash), yo need to check your carry's mana (and your own mana of course) before going all-in or making a play. Warn him to be careful when needed, if you have enough wards and lane control you can even ward the enemy jungle and dragon.
If you're gonna roam, do it as fast as you can, if you have to wait too much for the gank then just leave, go back to base or to your lane. In teamfights, well, it depends too much on the champion you're playing, but usually just protect your carry and try too CC the hell outta the enemy carry.
Also, if you have a hook, please don't hook the enemy tank. Makes no sense, unless your tryng to stop him from making a rupture in your team's formation. Aim for the squishies and that's pretty much it.
CS is important too. In some point, your carry is not gonna be in lane and you'll have to defend. So last hitting minions is very important. A fed support is a fed carry, and if the carry isn't good, then at least he isn't gonna die 23 times.
The most important advice ever - when in solo blind pick, never trust your carry! NEVER! You can always bet isn't gonna get the kill, so be prepared for that.
I put blank spaces and all that in my comment, but the didn't appear so it looks messy, hope it helps anyway
what i mean by updated is like with the edition of new support items such as eye of the oasis and when it is better to get that instead of the other upgrade. similar to that.
woow what a nice video to watch! And btw Happy New Year dude realy such a nice video. Keep this awsome video's up. good luck bro peace
How many supports do we got here?:D
Sona main right here.
nami all the way.
That was many
I main Nami.
here
I used some sequence of your video for mine, I let a link in the description for your video.
Nice work ( it's just video, not your text ^^ ).
+Shikusai Naosora (Envylast) No problem man, thanks for letting me know :)
I love support. nothing better then watching your buffed team turn a tide because of your efferts to keep them alive
You are already fed in all those videos
I think I will start to main supp after this video
IMHO the best alround, generic, safe to take as first pick Support champ is Braum by far.
-Peel
-CC
-Good laning phase (with lucian can lane bully so easily)
-Great mid game team fight
-Becomes a great tank late game.
-His shield wrecks many ults making the likes of Ez players cry.
Can I add something? > Fixing your carries' mistakes. This is one of the most important things to know is when you should or shouldn't help.
I was never good at tanky supports. That's why I would always play range supports like Janna Raka or Morg. Whenever I'm behind on a tanky support I would feel useless because I would be squishy. I was never good at shot calling too ToT I would love to learn how to be good at tanky supports though.
hey milky! im really happy that you made a support guide. i play annie mid but i want to try it support. can you tell the build?
Pretty sound advice!
this is great bro! thanks for the guide! :)
my only concern is about "worse come to worse, sacrifice yourself for your laner". If they are doing well and have multiple kills early in the game, then i can see it. But if the adc is not getting kills and just not doing well in any way, save yourself. It's not worth you getting further behind because they are over-extending.
I have to agree with this..especially if adc if feeding and unable to dodge enemy team..
now i know where i place my wards xD. thanks A lot
Aussie or Kiwi for sure, great video man, i wanna main Thresh Janna Ali and this video helps
if want to main janna. Max E first and after W. Ive seen so many jannas maxing Q with no reason
+Saller Raczmanikow actually i think q is better after e because the cooldown gets reduced with each level and thats crucial to teamfights unlike w
+Lee Sin I go W because it permanently increases your movement speed and the skill itself is really good to slow down your enemies. But yeah it all depends on the player.
+Milky you go W first or second after E?
Alex Morales E>W>Q
can you pls do a picture of the warding spots so i can print it? it would help alot. ps: awesome vid it really helped me!
i hope you do more guides soon i like your channel so far.
thank u for ma king the video! very useful!
Really enjoyed your video a- nice work. I know people ask this all the time, but do you think it's possible or just as possible as other roles to climb solo/dynamic queue as a support main? Or should I go learn how to play a typical mid/top/jg carry role for that? It seems like, and I could be wrong, that a majority of bronze and silver elo games are determined in the first 10-15 minutes by a top/mid/jg who gets fed, before the supp has even had time to be much of an influence.
+VanillaSkinny It's possible with Support, just recently when I was on school holidays I ranked up a smurf of mine from S5 to P2 within 4 days or so mainly with Support. In my opinion it's probably the best role for learning how to play the game because you have a taste of everything. But yeah it's true in low elo's games are usually determined in the early stage of the match, the best advice I can give is that you should play to improve not to win.
+Milky Thanks - solid advice
please make a more detailed video on when to roam :))
Great Guide helped me a lot
Introsong and Outrosong? :3 nice vid helps a lot!
Great video. Please make a next one.
I main support and i usually get my adc to continually kill the other support to get the other adc to start yelling at the support tilting their lane
Thanks for the video, really informative and helping the newer players get to grips with the game. ( like me :D)
Did anyone else chuckle when he showed the map with colour blind reference and red green stars?
i recently start playing LoL, well i've been spamming sona since my first game, the only hero i know how to play.
so I've always had this conflict: should I be getting ruby sightstone as a staple, and get talisman, face, or frost queen? or should I be getting eye of oasis/watchers?
great guide thanks bro :D
Really helped dude
Its helpeful thank you so much ^^
Awesome! Thank you very much
What can we do as a support in late game, between 2 team-fights ? I main Bard as Champion and... aside from warding, i don't know where to go or what to do in such moments... can give me advices ?
start a team fight is your best bet.
As Bard you MUST roam.
- Coming from a Plat 2 Bard main ^^
protect your carry by stunning or healing and setting escapes for your teammates
in Low elo, go for Zyra, she can carry the game on her own ! and u have Instant que :p
how is it going ? Any progress ?
Nice guide mate, +1 for Oce.
what are some good support to play in gold right now ?
swiftness boots really creeping into meta as of patch 6.7-6.8
+DAYMAN Yeah definitely, I made this video in preseason before Swifts became popular otherwise I would've included it in this video ;)
+Milky yea I thought so, just trying to throw a little more help in with this great guide is all :D
Thanks this vid helped a lot
You have some nice intro/outro music
It's been a wild ride.
thank you for the guide
That Box at 3:17 tho... #LCSBigPlays
when i play support thresh i always throw a perfect hook but botlaner just runes away and leave me alone... IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME
i have a situational question. if the support happens to be the only tank should he still focus on utility item like locket or go for more selfish items and be a stronger front line ?
+gavin kemp The supports build varies depending on the enemy teams composition and who is fed. As long as he grabs his sightstone, sweeper and preferred boots than it is fine for him to build independent items. Say if the enemy team is mainly AD and their ADC is fed, items like Thornmail and Frozen Heart are really good. If the enemy team is AP based and if their Fizz is fed or something, items like Locket, Visage, Mikaels, etc, can help. But yeah if that person was the only tank related champion on the team than by all means he is able to build selfish items as long as he has his core items. Websites like champion.gg really help with what is in the meta right now and it has everything on there, I recommend you check it out.
Hey,Those ward placements are kinda smart
Never thought about it this way,I mean,I can't see where to hook to countergank,but at most times I don't countergank I just hide under tower until they are gone so it makes sense
So,what do I do if my assigned adc is an idiot?
you prob should roam or flame him.
no jk dont flame xD
What runes do you use on Janna?
+Milky very nice video, keep up good work, i main support and my elo is platinum v, my main champs are naut, leona and braum,do you think that i can reach diamond till the end of this season? Thank you
I think you should also try some other champs like nami, thresh, bard and so on, not only the meta picks, then you Can reach it for sure:) and play with an adc Mate (Helps the most) :)
sorry for Bad englisch
Make more Videos!
You're doing great! :)
ohhhhhhh that's amazing dude
hi can u make a video talking about how to make support front and back line? it is very different to play and so far i just know how to play back line, aways i try to front line, i feed, let my carry dies, that stuff. I will appreciate if u could :D
Thanks it help me alot
Helped a lot
Can you explain the how to watch support video at a high level for those who want to know how to watch a support video properly?
+Tara Sutherland Can you elaborate?
whats the joy of playing support ? i dont get it people say its fun to play but icant understand it.
Great guide Milky -- you've earned yourself a sub. Would love to know what you think about my support-related videos+content. Cheers!
holy shit this guy is main support!
+Raymond Castillo ;)
I love to play as support, but sometimes is very difficut to me for carry the game with roamings. I don't know what i need to do when it's 30 minutes of the game. What do i have to do in this case and if i'm losing playing as support, how can i grow up in the game?
+vinicius damaro While roaming you should be placing wards in popular areas where the enemy would be walking through. For example if you guys are blue team and you want to rotate top and siege with your team to take towers, you should place wards in the enemy red buff area before doing so, so while you guys push you have clear vision if the enemy is coming in for a flank to collapse on you guys. Vision is one of the key factors for winning, the more vision - the better you can make decisions.
+vinicius damaro Sometimes roaming is a disadvantage, it could put you behind in gold/xp so to catch up the best thing to do is to sit with your ADC while he/she farms.
+Milky when i play as support, if i don't get advantage in lane phase, giving for my adc 2 kills, i can't go back to game game. I don't know what i need to do in the mid/late game to gain exp/gold..
+vinicius damaro Naturally, Support is suppose to be the role that's behind the most compared to everyone else on your team in exp/gold. Seeing as your only source is from your core items, assists and the bounty mastery that gives you 1 gold for every enemy minions death in lane. Usually in mid/late game you should already be grouping with your team getting objectives and picks, as a support you shouldn't even be worrying about exp/gold because your job is to peel, ward and go for picks. As for every other role, being behind really impacts them because they either can't deal damage or soak damage which makes them close to useless. What champions do you play by the way?
+Milky i really like to play with janna, thresh, braum..but i'm in bronze and i really don't know how to improve my gameplay and mindgame
Thank you!
Thats how it be
KAKASHI so smart
MAN SENPAI TEACH ME HOW 2 CARRY AS A SUPPORT
Best thresh oce
All that is very helpful unless your adc plans on feeding. Then GGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Tips for Thresh plsss
