I just came across your channel by chance, and I can say I learned a lot. I am a support main, and climbing solo is tough. Thank you for a very comprehensive item guide and tips on champions on dealing with enemy teams. Keep up the good work, and I hope your channel grows. I am currently using tank support with this build, but sometimes I get confused about what to build first if enemy teams are ahead, I hope you can help in that department, thanks!
Hey @paulzosimo4262 , thanks so much for the kind words! I'm really glad the item guide and champion tips helped you out. I totally understand the struggle of climbing solo as a support main-it's definitely not easy, but you're on the right track by focusing on the right items! Regarding your question about building when the enemy team is ahead, here's a quick breakdown: AD damage: Go for Steelcaps to reduce damage. AP damage: Mercury's Treads to reduce magic damage taken. Lots of CC/mixed damage: Dawnshroud can help mitigate some of that. To fight back with cc against magic damage abyssal mask is good item for that purpose. Against poke: Redemption is great for healing your team and turning the tide in longer fights. For protecting your ADC or when diving: Vow is an awesome option, plus it’s relatively cheap and provides armor. Against lots of melee: Heartsteel into Twinguard is great, especially for tanky champs like J4 or Swain support. I hope this helps, and don't worry-I’ll be working on those tank and physical itemization guides soon. Thanks for being patient and supportive! Keep up the great work with your climb, and feel free to reach out if you need more advice.

@TheAverise Exactly! Galio is a solid pick against AP enemies-his shield and magic damage reduction make him a great counter! Glad you're on the same page! 💪
@@rimpito098 Ah, Senna... my sweet, shadowy sniper. I’ve actually made two Senna videos before! Funny thing is, most of my recent subscribers came from Senna , Galio and pyke, so I feel like she’s got a fan club I need to keep happy. The only problem is matchmaking is constantly challenging my sanity. It’s like, 'Oh, you picked Senna? Perfect, here’s a trio of assassins for the enemy and a 0/10 feeder for your team. Have fun!' At one point, I almost broke my hand yelling, 'Why did you do that? Why? WHY?' Meanwhile, my phone decided to cosplay as a potato during my last Senna attempt-FPS? More like Falling Performance Standards. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with different Senna builds-stuff I didn’t post in my videos. I’ve tried Cleaver, Muramana, Redemption, Vow, and even a full CDR build. It was... interesting. I did okay, but it felt like my support didn’t mean anything while my team was busy inting. I’m sitting there supporting a 0/15 squad like, 'Yup, this is fine.' On the bright side, I did 1v5 as Fiora jungle recently against Viego, Rengar, and Irelia, which was hilarious. Or maybe I should upload one of my Shyvana or Fiddlesticks stomps-though sadly I didn’t record those. Anyway, I’ll keep trying to record some Senna games soon. Hopefully, the matchmaking let me do that and my team remembers what a minimap is. If not... well, at least I’ll have another tragic story to tell! In the meantime, I’m trying to record some good Ezreal content… wish me luck! By the way, if you’ve seen Broken’s support video, he tried to play Senna too-his team went 0/10. Maybe it’s just the Senna curse?
@@InnerpeaceGaming I don't know but I can't win anymore with Senna in Emerald. It was fine until then but after that is almost impossible. Bad team or I suck with it. Like no kill, a lot of deaths and a few assists. Mostly I go with green runes and pyke items more or less so I can survive and deal a bit of dmg. So I changed to Maokai, zyra and lux. But Maokai has been nerfed 😢 I really like this champion, fits my style. Sometimes I don't even know what to play so I can win and also be good with it
Hey @affent1522 , I totally get how frustrating it can be to climb with Senna in Emerald. She's a unique champion, and her playstyle shifts a lot based on the game situation. If you're struggling, it might not be you-it could just be bad team synergy or the wrong build for the game. For Senna, I use three different builds, depending on the situation:(checkout my senna videos) 1. Max damage lethality/crit: Go for this if you’re confident and the enemy team doesn’t have too many threats diving you. 2. Bruiser anti-assassin: Great against assassin-heavy teams or when you need to survive while dealing consistent damage. 3. Support build: Focused on peeling and utility, but it works best when you trust your ADC.(easier to play compare to others) For low elo, I recommend leaning more towards damage builds with one or two defensive items to survive against the fed enemy champions. The key is balancing offense and defense-Senna is incredibly flexible, but the wrong build or runes can make the game much harder. As for Galio support: After Riot removed the Aegis system, it's tougher to get rewarded for good performance as a support, especially with a struggling team. In lower elo, it’s better to adapt. You could try full AP Galio with items like Luden's, Infinity Orb, dcap, Liandry and lich bane.(Arcane comet) This gives you wave or camp clear and the ability to deal burst damage (oneshot), which can carry games when your team isn't performing. You can also split push as AP galio support and join the fight. It sounds like you're experimenting with other champs too. Maokai, Zyra, and Lux are all great choices! If Maokai fits your style but feels weaker after the nerf, you might still make it work with careful positioning and itemization. At the end of the day, remember: play what you enjoy and experiment with builds to find what works for you. You've got this!

Nice video man i just tried galio yesterday so much fun😂
Thanks! Glad to hear you had fun with Galio. He's such a solid pick for support, especially with his crowd control and ability to protect the team. 😊
how to deal with toxic: mute. I always mute everyone when i get into a game, therefore i quite enjoy the game

I pick Galio on support against ap enemy, it's a great counter.
