I think the main issue being regarded with the first point is that most people have been put into the mindset of "Get Level 2 first at all costs before the opponents" and so they take these unnecessary risks for a spike that might not even work

[@paulvanree9795]

And yet the flip side of this is to auto concede lane before it even started by playing way too “safe”. In melee versus enchanter support matchups this is understandable, but especially in enchanter versus enchanter matchups I personally think it’s almost trolling to give over wave control for no reason, because it essentially makes it so that one support can play the game and the other just can’t. This happens regularly with the Karma’s, Lulu’s and Soraka’s I get, where the difference between good and bad players is night and day. People that play like that have put themselves in the exact opposite mindset that you talk about: “Just play safe and scale.” Thing is, you give up any agency you might have had over the first 25 minutes of the game and basically resort to just praying that the enemy makes mistakes.

[@Maskiii_]

There is some truth in what you're saying but as a Sylas sup I do NEED my lvl 2 to have an extreme powerspike.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

Ironically skill capped has made like 3 videos on the importance of getting 2 first.

[@frozenistoffee]

It’s not completely wrong, level, a level two champion should always beat a level one champion. The problem is when melee sups don’t respect ranged sups and play too aggressively and get chunked out while they both hot lv 2 first, meaning the ranged sup and adc can usually all in and first blood with ignite.

[@luigisomma7002]

Lv 2 trade Is One of the most important what do you mean, i saw so many waves being controller as shit, you Just have to do First wave 2 meele Minions or 3 caster and you have lv2 while i saw how a lot of people wanna complain when the answer Is before your eyes, lv 2 advantage, helps farming, prio for jungle invade or crab, deep warding and possibly roaming. But yeah if you play soraka to Watch your team win the game for you while you Just spammed w and have 2 nerves working, then don't even try to do a play

[@samcresswell518]

The level 3 rule doesn't really apply for most melee supports, it's mostly an Alistar thing. Naut and Blitzcrank are extremely dangerous level 1, Pyke/Thresh can get some really favourable trades even before level 2 if they hit a hook, Leona usually wants to engage level 2 and Rell engages level 1 or 2 depending on enemy positioning/matchup. Even with Alistar you can engage level 2 if the enemy doesn't back off quickly enough and you haven't lost too much health.

[@lueroifan12]

true level 2 alistar actually scary

[@simone8172]

The level 3 thing is blatantly false, *BUT* it's a good rule of thumb for players who probably won't be able to apply a more complete understanding of how it all works. Sadly, this is most players (probably including myself. Not trying to be on a high horse here) so it's generally good advice to tell ADCs that engage supports are useless till 3, just don't go telling engage supports they're useless till 3.

This is the dynamic I strive for as an ADC. Thx for understanding

[@jahangirrozmetov9547]

Okay, I will comment this: if u you know that sup is autofilled and want to avoid interaction with the enemy, just perma push and stay back until next wave, like sivir. This also allows the sup to roam, this can be done by some adcs, like ez, sivir, varus. You might want to do that with melee sups if you keep losing 2v2s.

that’s why i love ranged damage supports. they don’t seem to rely on your adc not knowing/listening to wave control. not as reliant as having a good wave, like Nautilus and Leona are. and blitzcrank can hook opponents who are under their tower, makes him S rank in low elo for so long. going to start the ranked journey soon be sure to check it out

[@IstyManame]

I'm a silver player and surely can't understand everything, but it's kinda confusing when in one episode you talking about cheater recalls or lvl 2 engages, and in another advice is to let the wave push and try to get lvl3

[@mubumubu5975]

experiment in your games. or rather apply what you learned and see the difference yourself. Sometimes it goes well when you cheater and supp roams, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes waiting for lvl 3 by tower is better. You essentially have scenarios provided. There are ideal scenarios and there are "my soraka is standing by tower". They show in this video how you should play the matchup in an ideal scenario and what to do in "real". For us as players, it's to recognise if our support/adc knows the ideal scenario (you can talk in draft if you want synergy/gameplan) and plays accordingly. 4:57 and 13:23 are similar scenarios from similar matchups showing what happens if you don't play them ideally. If you find yourself as an adc in this position it's on you to ping them off before it can happen. You can type in chat "wait hp" or "full hp" (while farming) or fully explain when dead/walking from base. You should consume these topics on the channel as concepts that can be divided. Having the full list will be convoluted so it's better to establish your own relationship and mindmap of how you look at these concepts because while a cheater recall can net you an item advantage, would sticking around to bait a failed gank be better so your jungle can do stuff top side (or help your jungle for a crab fight, etc). It really is a lot if you just absorb it as theory but when you actively practice it you'll make the links in your head much faster and understand advanced concepts later on.

[@ThePsiGuard]

When one team has a melee support and the other has a ranged support, the team with two ranged champions will typically have a large advantage in trading and wave control at level 1. Melee supports need access to 2 or 3 abilities before they can really perform, so it's difficult for the melee support to get to level 2 first since their level 1 pressure is so low. If you have a melee support and your opponent has a ranged support, but they had to leash at level 1 and you didn't, you can usually push for level 2 and look for a fight with the level advantage. However, if neither of you had to leash (or you both had to leash), you'll usually have to concede wave control early. The same principle applies in solo lanes. Ranged champions will, in most cases, have wave control for the first couple levels. The melee champion has to minimize damage taken and wait for their tower to clear out the slow-pushed wave while they get to level 3, then they can look for trades or all-ins. Hope this helps.

[@zackdgod4680]

It depends mostly on which side can push faster with their abilities. The other side's adc auto rate also matters in your decision making

[@viceasimo3532]

lvl 2 powerspike trades are generally great if you can actually get to lvl 2 first before the enemy laners safely. You have to get the right balance of aggressiveness and safety since even if you get lvl 2 first at cost of 50% of your support's hp, then there would be no point to the spike. But if you somehow managed to get lvl 2 first without losing too much hp and cooldowns, then that's the perfect scenario for you to engage all-in. You'll get a sense of it through experience

[@michaelnguyen6891]

Alright so summary: Two types of support: Range, Melee Melee: 1. Stay healthy: Let opponent push and farm under tower to level 3 (don't take caster if lose health, don't take melee if lose too much health too) or push to get minion advantage when you have better wave clear champ 2. Set up easy-to-engage wave: Thin the wave and let it push or push it to the middle so that the melee support can engage and not lose too much health Ranged: 1. Get minion advantage: Push to get minion advantage for range support to poke safely 2. Take parallel trades: Position so that you and your support can both attack an opponent, if support is not forward with you play back with them until the opportunity to parallel trade comes up Notes: Remember to ward deeper when pushed into the opponent side

[@UnbornHeretic]

One if the reasons I like amumu support is that you have a really strong level 1 and 2 and the three is just okay. So you can go in even level 1 since you have 200 dmg and 2 seconds of CC on your two Q's

Tbh I always viewed the Bot Duo relationship as that - SUP is parent, ADC is the growing child -, but for the purpose of the video I believe it made perfect sense for it to be the opposite until level three.

[@robertg.2111]

Your bot lanes arguing brought back memories lol. See, I learned to play LoL in China when I was teaching there. I had a Chinese teacher friend use his national ID and created an account for me to spend nights gaming away. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, a total foreign noob walking in Chinese LoL. I had successfully integrated the English interface to the Chinese servers using "how to" available online. I stepped in the arena 2014, or so.... I saw the birth of Jinx. But I could not read, or write Chinese. I'd try to tell them, in English the best I could. I took Soraka as my initial champ, I love healing in most games and I thought I'd enjoy that one. Soraka at the time was a different beast, The healer, but a very different animal. Bot was the position I could call in English pre game.The pings that I've got on the map was pretty overwhelming at first, ADCs going insane typing in Chinese and pinging the map. Me = wtf? I finally got the message along the many games and a few English speakers that trying to kill minions was bad. I was sooooo NOT happy about that fact, I needed gold too!! I also learned that hitting minions all the time is bad, that's called pushing. Taking the kill, which banana girl was simply not equipped for, the crime of all crimes. I got over the fact that I had to pay for the damn wards out of the gold I couldn't get, never bought any, they reminded me every game. I still can't last hit to this day. I pretty much sucks at the other roles, but I'm a Chinese trained supp. I'll keep you alive or die trying, ADC gets the glory. I STILL ban Blitz to this day...

[@xDigDoug]

Another problem many MANY ADC's make that is difficult for me as support, is allowing the wave to crash. It's good to let the wave come to you, bad to let the ENTIRE wave come to you and lock you under tower. Edit: Reset the lane back to the middle of the lane again

[@YoYoSanTaYT]

Biggest Facts here.

[@pedromorais6826]

I believe this dynamic here - letting it crash but not entirely and resetting it to the middle in proper timing for engagement - is the hardest one to succeed at as an ADC.

[@kylecurtis2786]

I've recently found the hardest problem is that my teammate in the bottom (ADC or sup) often doesn't understand wave control (I'm not good at it either but some of these guys have NO self-awareness) and they will simply try to kill as many minions as possible, hard pushing to the tower with only a couple of casters every time. Asking them to stop and play more passively rarely works and they'll lose the lane due to a lack of slow pushes and freezes.

[@pedromorais6826]

This. I'm an ADC main, and playing it has made me aware of so many things that help me support well, too. And I'm nothing special, but just understanding the dynamics put you soooo far ahead than most of these clueless players. The problem is that you must have double awareness - for you and for them - when you end up being paired with them. I believe that if most supports had experience playing ADC too, a lot of the quarrying in Bot would be solved. Sometimes it DOES only takes to be in someone else's shoes 😂 and any relationship should see eye to eye

[@scottbartlett3703]

Anyone else feel like blitz should have a separate category? Yes blitz is melee and an engage support but we can also bring the enemy to us. The more minions the enemy has to hide behind the less useful we are. Yes theoretically allowing enemy minions to stack up could allow you to pull them into turret but most adcs aren’t dumb enough to stick around if blitz is there. Unlike Leona and naut, his range skill doesn’t go through minions so that wall of enemy minions makes him relatively useless.

[@romainsantiago1796]

You just have to accept that your game is lost and it's partially your fault, chosing to SoloQ. The 40-60 is one of the only truth about SoloQ, because when you queue up, you agreed to let 4 random people, out of your reach, have an impact negatively or not in your game. League of legend is not meant to be played like that at it's core and every players need to accept the paradox that is SoloQ. The best way to mentally enforce it, is to accept the 40-60 rule (40% of your games are lost no matter what, the other 60 depends on you and you need to understand when you're in a "60%" game), to queue up to improve rather than to win, never looking at games in term of LP' gains or any kind of metrics beside the maths behind your improvments or play as a group of 5 that have a clear goal and want to improve as a team, the way the game is intended to be played.

its strange like how I knew most of this stuff by experience . but still mess up sometimes during mid and late game.

I started playing Pyke mid and have noticed a trend with casters: In general, they just arent worth the gold early on. It's better to miss them gaining XP and preserving hp early on. Is this the case or am I misreading things?

[@chuchinhquyen]

caster in general are squishy, mostly they will try to keep health but in the other hand, because they ARE caster, they poke the shit out of you as an unable-to-play-assasin-player, I just want to poke you dead and also back off when I shouldn't, that how caster player should do

thank u ezreal

[@arcdragno6781]

rengar supp is just good ngl since he has dmg, he can tank and basically cleanse all cc and dmg if 2 w and snare rinse and repeat. making squishy match ups easy or if against tank wait for them to miss athen focus the adc . its just that its very risky especially if ur adc does not know how to trade properly

[@rogermurillo4306]

Lol, picking those kind of supports can only work in really low elo, yes, a Rengar can destroy a Soraka in phase lane, but how is Rengar going to protect his ADC? He might win phase lane, after that, he will be useless af.

@@rogermurillo4306 and if he trades 1 for 1 he is just a supp far better than losing mid or adc or jg during objective plays

[@rogermurillo4306]

​@@arcdragno6781 But that will happen in really low elo, like iron and bronze, lets say for example that a Vayne has a Rengar sup, and the other team has a Syndra, Yasuo, or a Qiyana, what is a Rengar sup going to do to peel a Vayne on a TF? Im not even talking about high elo, people in Gold/Plat already know how to focus propertly.

For the first couple minutes I thought it was Ezreal running this tutorial

[@TheeGoodSir]

as a support main, adc's really need to learn this

[@pedromorais6826]

Tbh there would be 80% less toxicity and negative in Bot if ADCs and Supps just learned each other's roles.

[@Johnny_200]

Everyone: My support sucks. Me: Free meat shield.

[@Agent_Alpha_SLV]

pretty weird to hear Ezreal teaching me how to play Supp

[@VegaIllusion]

…but Pyke and Kaisa had that dmg since lvl 2… it wasn’t about level at all, it was more about lane control/minion numbers and Ezreal being absent. That was a really bad example of a “waiting for 3” situation. Besides Alistar, I struggle to find an adequate example of a support that actually needs level 3 to do his job in this category. The same cannot be said about enchanters nor all adc, but the example given with Pyke was really bad.

Thanks Ez!
