He tell the build and runes what do you mean Umbral for ad supp. Aatrox with glacial (he farm enemy jg to force fight because Aatrox is stupid broken. With azir you play first strike. With zed you can but electrocute is better. All people now how to build zed. Azir is just go full ap and one shot enemy team)
Thats actually a very healthy mentality, he is having fun while helping his teammates to win, it's a win win I don't mind off meta at all, in fact I adore these people
I remember Laceration talking about zed support few months ago. When you die as a mid zed, your only dmg left is your adc and top. With support you can trade your life for enemy carry and still have your midlaner doing dmg
@@DarkSandflame free extended harass with Zed W Q You can slow enemies with W E You never have to worry about running out of mana You can deep ward and use W to get out Mid game you can chunk out at least 60% hp out of enemy squishies with Umbral and if you intend to make more money use first strike treasure hunter Or take electrocute and burst enemy bot early with an aggressive adc (Lucian tristana kalista) Only problem with Zed sp is that you will need HARD ENGAGE top or jg
@@kyiwintun8797 Pyke has 2 forms of CC and an execute that gives your teammates kill gold as well. Only thing zed has in common with pyke is they are both ad assassins and they both HARD fall off late game. Overall pyke is just a better champ than zed support wise
Now imagine pairing Lucian support with a nami adc! They synergise really well and nami can deal a lot of damage with electrocute! And now imagine if lucian farms instead of her because he needs items and hers are cheaper and….. oh
I have thought of Aatrox support in the past, if he wasn't as sustain reliant as he is, he'd be much better, because you can't really afford to buy life steal as support. Also he needs a team that makes for slower fights to be more effective.
Why aatrox yuumi bot is real fun, gives you a lot more room on the aatrox to go deep, as well as still having a top laner and jg to hopefully soak some attention
The fun thing about current meta is that it is better to build lethality and eclipse on aatrox than goredrinker for most games (not that it solves many problems but it is fun nonetheless)
I'm basically the aatrox support inventor, I thought him as a peeler tho. Aftershock as rune and locket first item. There was no glacial augment back in time, I should give him another try
So you see, lucian and senna were having an argument at home where Senna was talking about how hard it was to be a support and lucian just laughed. Senna got upset and Lucian decided, time to show her what's up.
Legit can play almost any champ as support. The main problem is your team either think you're griefing them and automatically checks out of game even before it start or they don't know how to play around whoever you pick as support if it's off meta. That's the hard part, to have your team trust you as off meta support pick and play as they normally would.
Depends what items they build. Almost all true supports in the game with the exception of Pyke build support items for a reason, because of lower gold costs since you get the least amount of money on your team.
Picks like zed, Azir and Aatrox on support are not even considered as off-meta picks in my opinion. They are not support champs, therefore they should not be played as supp. There are some cases where the player is actually good, but lets be honest. If you see an aatrox supp in low elo, he's most likely griefing. If you see him on masters or gm, then he probably knows what he's doing.
@@genkyo6 ikr I picked lb as sup cos I can burst damge the adc b provide good roams to help out other lanes. I ended up carrying a game few months ago when I went sup and everyone was flaming me before it started
@@veganhunter4736 90% of the time that just luck though. If you fall behind at any point you are just completely useless. No dmg, horrible cc and no way to help your adc.
This is the type of thinking that one would see in playing Dota 2. Much of the play testing and understanding of the champion is done with the sense of playing it in each individual role to get an idea of what kind of role is best suited to the heroes kit. In this case it's making the use of a hero typically regarded as a ADC/Carry/Offlane with a specific gimmick that includes a stun or other team fight oriented ability, and placed into the support role. Usually in Dota 2, and here as well, these types of picks are always considered as trolling, with the only exception being games as shown here, where the player shows incredible control and mastery of their 'troll' pick, which ultimately secures the early game. Which is vital to the continued relevance of the bad pick.
I played weird supports like Sejuani, Mordekaiser and Zac and sitting at Master NA. I mean if your teammate doesn't dodge, go for it. Support is very forgiving as a role and off meta champs often work cuz people have no idea how to match you in lane.
Sejuani and Zac are just insanely broken as champions, but I didn't expect Mordekaiser support to work until I saw it in action. A friend tried to troll me with it when I played ADC, citing that "I will just ult Samira away from you" and we actually shitstomped them. Morde support is basically discount Swain with an 'oh shit' button.
@@AymanSussy I wonder if Annie can do it. Her auto-attack range is from what I remember only 25 lower than Caitlyns, so maybe? Something worth checking out?
I swear I understand him a lot, as being a midlaner playing skill champs, the lane I struggle the most is the botlane because you’re playing it in duo and my mate never got the same hard engage outplays dmg playstyle that I will have on this lane, playind adc or support. But when I can shine the most is when I bring midlanes picks as support such as TF, Leblanc, Zed or Qiyana. Picks whith I’ll be able to setup things and play by my own. Plays that will bring situations where even my adc take 2 sec to react and goes in, he will still win the second part of the fight. I remember a season where a good friend of mine and adc player asked me to go Leblanc support instead of a real supp champ bc he knew that I will gonna farm champs while he will farm minions and in the end win the lane.
“Yeah, somebody is not playing what I want AND is not playing at their most effective ((as a result of not going WHAT I WANT)1!!), so I’m going to shame them for even breathing. I’m unemployed. There are two wars in the world right now. I play meta)”

Because supports are designed to empower your teammates one way or another, and are built around teamplay based off the fact that only so many people can efficiently make use of the gold on the map and one or more has to be on low income. The closest to being able to do all that is Aatrox just cause of the sheer amount of cc if played REALLY well.
@@Roflmao6173 You dont need to empower your team to be a support, you can be a support by debuffing/disrupting the enemy team. And you can even be a support even by just being able to do powerful damage without gold.
@@andrek6920 that's why I specifically said "one way or another". A hyper carry such as lucian or zed does not serve that purpose. It's wrong to think a support can be a support by just playing for themselves and being a hyper carry. You dont see senna lanes pair with another carry champ for that exact same reason, you need one to be able to empower the team such as tahm kench. Plus most adcs are designed to not be self sufficient and needs the help of a support, by picking supports with nothing to provide besides damage you're essentially neutering 2/5 players from the get go, the adc who doesnt have the support to farm and deal damage, and the support who is trying to carry on low gold. The player in the video does so successfully half the time because he is just plain good, and he also doesnt ignore the fundamentals of supporting.
Aatrox can actually be a pretty good supp, but you have to execute it very well. It´s like supporting with Pantheon or Sett, but way harder since his cc´s are more unreliable, even with Glacial a more mobile champ can easily escape his combos without burning out Flash.
@@yesimracist7510 i have a duo i play with a lot and i found aftershock + turbo chemtank and max e to be a really good supp build, but i'll truc eclipse i've never tried it
I too use the lucian strat on my anivia support, I go to mid and hit the tower 3 times or hit the enemy if he is there. Since I ping my team to be in a near bush sometimes we can trade my pasive for a first blood
In current metagame if it does damage, it's viable. Miss the old days when only actual supports could support and you didn't see pantheon supp or ad assasins
I kinda do this a lot as well. Normal Support champs are fine and all BUT against your match up they too also know your champ well. Bring in Top lane or Mid lane champ to the role and the enemy wont have the right reaction to the match up. I played Support: Sejuani, Ornn, for surprisingly tanky early levels. Rengar, Nocturne, for kill threat global warning - when you press ult the enemy team WILL back off and group more so easy split pushing or choking them to a point. Zoe, Lilia for obvious reason "Sleep" and hard to lock down. (this one is really fun and annoyingly obnoxious to the enemy), Anivia, Kennen for stun galore and enemy wont dive you instantly because ult zone.
in vietnam server, i see this often and i am one of them. I think the biggest reason for me to play this type of support is that I don't trust my teammates
It's a tragedy that a good player found a way to have fun in a game he likes? So sad... I kinda missed this game but this has served as a reminder of why I stopped playing in the first place, stupid 'every game is world's finals' mentality.
As a wise man said... "if it stunts, it can be a support..." And as a wise woman said... "the best stunt is the one that sends you 60 seconds to the base with a black and white screen" So l guess this korean player really using the ancient forgotten knowledge
Forget about stuff like skirmishes 1:26 in anywhere below diamond or high plat, I have literally never seen that many people group up together immediately so early when I play in lower elo games AND pinged, even Zoe came and helped.
Dude is like a celebrity in Korea. He made himself popular when he appeared on PAKA’s stream, and when he got slightly provoked by his teammate’s chat, he simply replied with “like I care.” Shit is mad funny in Korean but I can’t find a way to explain it in a better way. Language diff.
To be honest, it is just fun and I used some weird picks too in my journey to euw mt like Glacial Sylas/Trundle/Veigar/Sett or something like Quinn, Aery J4 and etc.
I would like to see more of thse type of offmeta picks in pro play in niche situations against specific meta picks, would spice up pro play a lot (LS fan here)
@@dennit1221 dude saaame, I played riven sup for a bit aswell, he’s actually so good as support with lots of cc and all in potential🙌 (I also love the part where I don’t have to farm and can just roam to other lanes for free kills🥰🙈)
from what ive heard a lot of these off meta picks and supports work because at that high elo youre used to only fighting the meta, so it rlly throws u off when u see something that unusual
I like non conventional support play, but my issues are mostly not the enemies who can't handle my weird plays, but it's MY own adc who can't handle it. They tilt, refuse to play, and cry like a baby and game goes down the toilet.
Trolling teammates and non-compliance are the biggest weaknesses of off-meta champs. If someone goes off-meta, they very likely know what they're doing. I played Quinn Supp up to Plat 1, and my winrate was a solid 64%. It's so fun because Quinn is basically the 2nd jungler and a support at the same time with decent enough macro. Winrate could've been way higher if a majority of the games didn't have teammates complaining instead of playing the game. I just stopped for now because even though it's fun and effective, the amount of unnecessary mental stress other people like to induce is not worth it.
@@inplane9970I had a match yesterday where I was playing nasus support, almost immediately, my top, mid, adc all tilted; convinced I was trolling and the game will be lost (even though nobody died in the first 5 mins). I muted them all except the jg because he bothered to look up my stats, realized I was a support main with high winrate. He gave a rousing speech to the rest and told them I wasn't trolling and he focused ganking bot (was playing WW jg). In the end, we snowballed and I repaid his ganks by assisting his jungle rotation. We won in the end, honoured him. If every game was like that, my life would be easier. Most people don't even want to give it a chance.
This is by far the best way to enjoy the game as a solo player. I've turned to the dark side as well. I used to be a top lane renekton main that peaked Plat. Now I'm a degenerate that picks whatever I feel like playing as support and either carry or turbo int, there's no in between on picks like these.
Once i had a Kayn blue form support.. I picked Séraphine an enchanter, to not suffer to much and Peel for myself 😭 But he was useful, he one shotted ennemies ! I told him to take kills lol
i have a friend who were a midlaner turn support who have somewhat a similar playstyle his reason were : i don't wanna stress over cs, farm while also having to harass/fight, try to shove then roam. I only want to fight. i think that's the biggest reason
I used to be a support main. Now I main Azir. I've tried to make it work, truly, but after about 100 games of Azir support... Please don't play it, it's so bad. AP Kog'Maw supp on the other hand is unironically better than Xerath/Vel'Koz.
A friend and I did this, of course at a far lower level, a long time ago. It always worked, since all of the champs he plays either have a lot of cc or a lot of dmg, or both

Aatrox can actually be a pretty good supp, but you have to execute it very well. It´s like supporting with Pantheon or Sett, but way harder since his cc´s are more unreliable, even with Glacial a more mobile champ can easily escape his combos without burning out Flash.
your commentating was so hilarous dude :D, ure funny. 11:10 - dont try this at home, and no runes for you. i laughed so hard lol
0:52 correct me if I'm wrong but anivia can also do it right?
Every champ is considered supp to me . I play renenkton and jayce supp XD they r so good
Me with rek'sai support : Finally ! a worthy opponent !
nice another reksai supp, what build/runes do you usually take?
@@trickstabbed hail of blades and eclipse
@@yesimracist7510 i have a duo i play with a lot and i found aftershock + turbo chemtank and max e to be a really good supp build, but i'll truc eclipse i've never tried it
@@trickstabbed eclipse is very strong last week i have 7 kills with rek'sai support in 9 minutes
I too use the lucian strat on my anivia support, I go to mid and hit the tower 3 times or hit the enemy if he is there. Since I ping my team to be in a near bush sometimes we can trade my pasive for a first blood
Most common but really underated for me is Ekko support, u can do a lot of gret things with it !
In current metagame if it does damage, it's viable. Miss the old days when only actual supports could support and you didn't see pantheon supp or ad assasins
That was years ago before even Rengar existed, and even then it's questionnable.
I kinda do this a lot as well. Normal Support champs are fine and all BUT against your match up they too also know your champ well. Bring in Top lane or Mid lane champ to the role and the enemy wont have the right reaction to the match up.
I played Support:
Sejuani, Ornn, for surprisingly tanky early levels.
Rengar, Nocturne, for kill threat global warning - when you press ult the enemy team WILL back off and group more so easy split pushing or choking them to a point.
Zoe, Lilia for obvious reason "Sleep" and hard to lock down. (this one is really fun and annoyingly obnoxious to the enemy),
Anivia, Kennen for stun galore and enemy wont dive you instantly because ult zone.
in vietnam server, i see this often and i am one of them. I think the biggest reason for me to play this type of support is that I don't trust my teammates
0:50 "No other champ can do this"
Heimer supps, who pretty much invented this, and do it without taking a turret shot: "Am I a joke to you?"
It's a tragedy that a good player found a way to have fun in a game he likes? So sad... I kinda missed this game but this has served as a reminder of why I stopped playing in the first place, stupid 'every game is world's finals' mentality.
As a wise man said... "if it stunts, it can be a support..."
And as a wise woman said... "the best stunt is the one that sends you 60 seconds to the base with a black and white screen"
So l guess this korean player really using the ancient forgotten knowledge
Forget about stuff like skirmishes 1:26 in anywhere below diamond or high plat, I have literally never seen that many people group up together immediately so early when I play in lower elo games AND pinged, even Zoe came and helped.
11:09 so are you saying...
If people thinks they can do the same thing, then they must be VERY confident in their skill x)
Muh boi :3 Big respect, also maybe he, or over madlad will find another broken support no one thing about!
This “what did I expect” moment lol
Dude is like a celebrity in Korea. He made himself popular when he appeared on PAKA’s stream, and when he got slightly provoked by his teammate’s chat, he simply replied with “like I care.” Shit is mad funny in Korean but I can’t find a way to explain it in a better way. Language diff.
8:27 this was cleannn
To be honest, it is just fun and I used some weird picks too in my journey to euw mt like Glacial Sylas/Trundle/Veigar/Sett or something like Quinn, Aery J4 and etc.
Glacial trundle sup is a thing since the very beggining of actual runes
... in korea ofc
Korean is such a crazy sever in the world. They create a buch of crazy playstyle but still useful. That's impressive
I remember the extra gold from plating from that one Heimer KR support, that player now uses Donger on the Jungle right now
I would like to see more of thse type of offmeta picks in pro play in niche situations against specific meta picks, would spice up pro play a lot (LS fan here)
UOL flashbacks
Ok im gonna play whatever i like in my silver 3 games, ty for the tips & tricks!
This is why I play Normals only. Zero pressure and no one should feel tilted after watching you pull out the weirdest picks.
can you do some rumble cleanse and ghost.It's kind very funable to play
You know as long as the character has crows control abilities they can be useful supports
Incredible player, that azir support is awesome.
As an Aatrox main this one looks interesting
"And no runes for you"
Fine, I'll do it myself.
That explains a lot why a enemy aatrox sup shown up yesterday in my rankeds.
Please! More of this. I love troll picks so much.
No
So Lucian is Brand, Aatrox is Pantheon, Azir is Zyra and Zed is Pyke without cc
senna can do the tower 60 gold thing too
and heimerdinger too
literally any supp can do this including yuumi
This guy is literally me😂 I play illaoi, atrox, zed support😊
Same I get flamed to death for playing riven support. But I just enjoy it not having to take care of farming. Xd
@@dennit1221 dude saaame, I played riven sup for a bit aswell, he’s actually so good as support with lots of cc and all in potential🙌 (I also love the part where I don’t have to farm and can just roam to other lanes for free kills🥰🙈)
@@VKakaVicky 🥰🥰
Man if you knew my champ pool.
In case you haven’t, try Camille and lee sin sup, can really recommend them.
Trust me, in Vietnam, we saw a lot of these champ as the sp role, some even better.
This guy is actually insane
0:50 "no other champ can do this"
Me seeing every time my friend OTP Heimer sup doing it 💀
This aged very very well ;)
from what ive heard a lot of these off meta picks and supports work because at that high elo youre used to only fighting the meta, so it rlly throws u off when u see something that unusual
I feel validated cause support Aatrox was my thing slightly after his rework and visit him every now and then
I like non conventional support play, but my issues are mostly not the enemies who can't handle my weird plays, but it's MY own adc who can't handle it. They tilt, refuse to play, and cry like a baby and game goes down the toilet.
Trolling teammates and non-compliance are the biggest weaknesses of off-meta champs. If someone goes off-meta, they very likely know what they're doing.
I played Quinn Supp up to Plat 1, and my winrate was a solid 64%. It's so fun because Quinn is basically the 2nd jungler and a support at the same time with decent enough macro. Winrate could've been way higher if a majority of the games didn't have teammates complaining instead of playing the game. I just stopped for now because even though it's fun and effective, the amount of unnecessary mental stress other people like to induce is not worth it.
@@inplane9970I had a match yesterday where I was playing nasus support, almost immediately, my top, mid, adc all tilted; convinced I was trolling and the game will be lost (even though nobody died in the first 5 mins). I muted them all except the jg because he bothered to look up my stats, realized I was a support main with high winrate. He gave a rousing speech to the rest and told them I wasn't trolling and he focused ganking bot (was playing WW jg).
In the end, we snowballed and I repaid his ganks by assisting his jungle rotation. We won in the end, honoured him. If every game was like that, my life would be easier. Most people don't even want to give it a chance.
That's the advantage of a flexi role player. He can use any champs at any lanes. Salute to that guy.
This is by far the best way to enjoy the game as a solo player. I've turned to the dark side as well. I used to be a top lane renekton main that peaked Plat. Now I'm a degenerate that picks whatever I feel like playing as support and either carry or turbo int, there's no in between on picks like these.
Once i had a Kayn blue form support..
I picked Séraphine an enchanter, to not suffer to much and Peel for myself 😭
But he was useful, he one shotted ennemies ! I told him to take kills lol
it really is "the path of having fun alone even if i dont get my lane"
When i play bard, it feels like: "You are the only one having fun"
"dont try this at home"
alright then lemme try it at an internet cafe
i have a friend who were a midlaner turn support who have somewhat a similar playstyle
his reason were : i don't wanna stress over cs, farm while also having to harass/fight, try to shove then roam. I only want to fight.
i think that's the biggest reason
the gromp part got laughing me lmaoo
I used to be a support main. Now I main Azir.
I've tried to make it work, truly, but after about 100 games of Azir support... Please don't play it, it's so bad.
AP Kog'Maw supp on the other hand is unironically better than Xerath/Vel'Koz.
A friend and I did this, of course at a far lower level, a long time ago. It always worked, since all of the champs he plays either have a lot of cc or a lot of dmg, or both
8:56 is that supposed to happen? sivir has her spell shield right?
oh i miss the days where riot and the community understood that there are no roles for champions, roles are the meta for organizing the functions of the players in the map, champions themselves have no inherent roles
This is also my support style LOL but i stuck at plat 4 xD
It is a pandorelol raid (to help you get more line and views) that brought me here and made me like your video ! Have a nice day
No other champ can do the
Heimer: "hold my beer"
"Hold my NUTS"
been doing this since a year ago, guess I'm four parallel universes ahead of this guy on tilting teammates
great video, great explanations!
Glad to see that my aatrox supp in good hands makes sense
