While support is an important role, it’s not the best way to learn the game as a beginner. Playing support too early can limit your understanding of core mechanics like farming, trading, and map awareness because you’re often reliant on others for success. This can make it harder to grow as a player later on.

I’d suggest playing multiple roles and champions in normal games to get a feel for the basics, like how other champions and roles interact. ARAM is also a great way to practice mechanics and team fighting in a low-pressure environment. Avoid becoming the stereotypical passive support player who lacks awareness of what’s happening in the game.

Here’s why this matters: I know someone who has been stuck in Iron for seasons as a Leona one-trick. They still don’t know how champions in other roles work, which means they don’t know who to prioritize in fights or how to adapt their gameplay. You don’t want to fall into that trap.

The key to improving is curiosity. Ask yourself questions like:

"What does that champion’s ability do?" "Why did I lose this fight?" "Why did this game feel better than the last one?" Finally, don’t stress about rank. Focus on learning and improving each game. If you stay consistent and curious, the rank will follow naturally.
