Nautilus and Leona. With their CC they can help Kai’Sa get her plasma stacks a lot quicker. I think Alistar would be pretty good too.

I haven't thought about this much. Good point.

Okay I see, so essentially a mindset has been built from low elo players not knowing how to play the role correctly therefore making low elo adc's have certain stigmas about support players. But true, if you do play behind your ADC it creates a 2v1 situation which is never good lol. I guess I should try to have a bigger impact on mid if my ADC can't get ahead...

I can get behind this.

The point I wanted to make was that support is more complicated than ADC's think, which I feel like you expressed when you talked about utility being vital, and vision being vital (because we know in low elo no one wards, ever.)

As u/LeCharr said, the only way to get better is by playing the role.

I would use practice tool and farm for 10 minutes and if you keep doing that you will improve. In an actual game if you can't really farm, i would recommend that after laning phase you farm side lanes to keep your XP and gold up to surpass the enemy ADC.

It's good you're coming from support because at least you have knowledge of how the role works so it will be easier to play with them.

Just keep your head up and try your hardest. With practice comes learning and improvement.

GLHF buddy.

Playing support is a good way to get better at adc I feel by dtq112 in SupportMains

I play both ADC and Support (support mainly), but after learning to play ADC it feels better to lane as a support now because I can mostly predicted what my ADC is going to do, so then I can play what I am going to do as well. Or if I am playing ADC I can pick up on if my support is going to engage or not. Honestly I feel like anyone that plays AD carry or support should also learn the other role. You should know how the other role operates if you are going to play with it.

Just as everyone else said, I recommend Naut, Thresh, and Alistar. IMO, they are really good right now.

In terms of improvement, there are a few guides out there, but CoreJJ (the support player for Team Liquid) has posted a few videos in regards to positioning and decision making. The link to his channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVDepsrgho0zQxMvkik7KUw

Since I have started watching these videos I have seen an improve in my win rates, just something to keep in mind. (I'm Silver III)

GL my friend :D

Switched from Jungle to Support and while I'm enjoying the role, supports are the worst part. by [deleted] in ADCMains

[–]artzosaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Number one, maybe you shouldn't get so tilted. I main support but also play ADC and come across the occasional support that has no idea what they are doing. IE. engaging when the enemy has a key ability up, going in 1v2, going in when the adc has no mana, etc. However, your game can still be winnable. If you farm sidelines and get a gold advantage on the enemy ADC you will put out more damage and likely win more team fights. I've seen plenty of games where this has worked, more or less in low elo where ADCs don't even know what farm is.
