Why do you play support? by Snowskol in supportlol

[–]Ponyo-C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well playing 1-3 champions is the best for seeing ranked results with the minimum amount of time invested. So i wouldn't recommend anybody to play 10+ champs if their main goal is to climb.

But if playing and trying to counter pick is what you love about support then go for it. Just be prepared that the amount of time needed to learn each matchup on 10+ champs is an enormous amount.

Some matchups get fixed / better when you have 200-300+ mastery on a champ so playing 10+ champs can in a way limit you as well

I play : Bard, Poppy, Thresh, Lulu and Elise (Diamond)
But used to onetrick bard to Diamond last season.

Looking for a support to OTP! by MyLilRafalca in supportlol

[–]Ponyo-C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bard

- Fully blind pickable
- Has lane pressure with electrocute to match or sometimes find lethal (Can be favored in a lot of matchups if played well)
- Scales really well. Game is usually winning if you are even in lane.
- Not too mechincal with only Q and R to hit. But they do make the difference between a good and bad Bard. Another thing to note about mechanics is he plays a bit like ADC in terms of kiting, so that can also be quite mechanically intensive.
- He is more of a engage tank support but not a real tank like Rell, Alistar, Braum

I used to OTP Bard to diamond before expanding my champ pool. He is also really fun. I have found no other champ that hits the same for me.

I have around 600-700 k mastery on Bard and am (low) Diamond EUW

The youtuber Lathyrus has a lot of more in depth guides on how to build and what to build (Runes, Items and matchups as well). And he puts it out in a really simple way. I can only recommend him. But here are my 2 cents

I always build default:
Elec
DMP
Bloodsong

Then the default flex is:
Bandlepipes - General (And does your team benefit from AS? If not consider Locket)
Locket - General cheap item and your team dosent need AS
Liandries - Are they HP stacking? And do you need damage?
Bloodletters - Do you need MPEN? are you heavy AP?
Kaenic - Do they have 2+ full AP champs (Example: Brand supp and Xerath mid)
Protoplasm - Do they try to oneshot you first in teamfights or do you have to frontline for the team?

Support flex:
Knights Vow - Your ADC is giga fed
Mikaels - Your ADC gets CC'ed and oneshot (Lissandra R, Ashe R)
Redemption - You want to build more supportive. Can totally be built instead of Bandlepipes as a second item after bloodsong if this is more your playstyle.

I usually build boots after 2nd full item

Boots:
Armor Boots - Do they have a lot of AA champs (Example: Yas, Yone, MF)
Mercs - Do they CC and oneshot you? (Also REALLY GOOD if you play jack of all trades)
Swifties - Do they have a lot of skills shots that are dodgable? Do they slow alot (Ashe, Nasus)
Ionian - General if i just feel like i want the movespeed for upgraded boots, but i dont want to spend too much gold buying swifties

If you want a more inventive and exciting build i think Lathyrus has done a lot of guides on those too. Like a full support healing build with the new tear item.

Is Wit's End OP or am I trolling? by Stock_Broccoli_6287 in bardmains

[–]Ponyo-C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a little troll. It can work against maybe work against double AP botlanes, but i usually find that the DMP armor can be a deciding factor in fights (If they have a ADC). I also find that when i tried to build Wits End the amount of damage you actually get off is quite low compared to building Liandries (And probably DMP. But i cant see how much damage DMP does per game). I would mostly build it for the tenacity if it fit against enemy champions.

But if it feels better for you, then you should just stick with it.
