@@xlexed2583 the qualifier here is "eventually". as support you might take literally months of ranked grinding and basically becoming emotionless to get out of low elo. also note that hector was in PLAT... there are 3 entire ranks below that. if you start out in iron or bronze... good luck playing an engage support. imo, it's just far more efficient to go a carry style support and crush lane + setup free vision around drake early. if your adc is ass, a carry support can still farm after they die and bring damage to a fight when they're too weak to do jack. just gotta be clean enough that you don't die as well.

Stay top, hone your macro game. During lane phase, the worst that can happen is to 1v3 (both your jg and theirs against you), and you can do some damage. In bot it can be 1v5 and as support you will only do damage if you build it.

[@alveolate]

@@BBBrasil agreed. if ranking up efficiently is your aim, just play a solo lane and be good at it. you aren't choked out of resources and a non-inting top laner is so much more valuable than a non-inting support, almost 100% of the time. if anything, this video is a good parable for NOT picking an engage support in low elo. that bit about "composition" is kinda bleh... why pick leona vs assassins/divers? sure leona is good vs cait+lulu -- iff your adc is non-braindead, a dangerous assumption in "low elo" (really, this shit still happens in plat eh). it would be far safer to play braum/rell if you wanted to keep your adc alive; or just straight up pick a carry sp.

I got many kills because their botlane were greedy too and since I believed it was nice for them to be together I went to other lanes and carried there. Your ult is op, the e can make your othr guy survive or take more risky fights. It's not one champ that can carry games from unwinnable to win but it can change some things in it as helping one to feed himself (basically what I did with jgler and mid ) so we won because my midlaner couldn't die anymore when he was behind at 1st.

[@chettonex]

A few years ago I funded an Elo Boosting team with a couple of friends (all of us diamond players). I was the only one who smurfed as support, and believe or not, I had the highest win/rate among all my smurf friends who played mid, top or jg. Supports are "plays enablers" but also "plays disablers". With this I mean that players will most likely follow your calls and follow up in your plays if they see you are a competent player, but also retreat or cancel bad calls if you are not present or tell them to retreat. I always attributed my high winrate to the ability of boosting my teammate's confidence. Winners mindset does wonders in all ranked levels.

[@CasterMedicus]

Just to clear this up, if Hector would have played any other role, he would have carried, right? :-)

[@petrboril4589]

probably, but that doesn't mean that support can't carry being like p1 level in p3 game is way different from being challenger in platinum elo if you know you can hard stomp lane almost every single game (challenger smurf) then it is obviously better to smurf this way but if you are not challenger smurf, it is still viable way to climb by playing role that enables your team/disables enemy team but the thing is, one game doesn't mean anything, your rank isn't decided by one game, in hector game all lanes were just garbage with anivia hard inting, if you were platinum player playing this game, you wouldn't be able to win this game (most likely), but you don't get game like this too often (it might look like your teammates are always trolling, but keep in mind that enemy team is trolling just as much, you just don't see it and don't abuse it)

Went from an easy win to a loss lol. Some people just have the weakest mental.

[@checkyoursixgaming]

In the first example with the Kaisa getting chunked out at level 1, which happens a lot to most of the ADCs that I support, the vast majority of them tilt off that. They start blaming you as the support for letting that happen. As if any support a level 1 could have prevented them from being dumb enough to walk forward and be chunked out of lane or even killed. Most of the ADCs I support that have that happen start flaming in all chat about support gap and a good half of them sit in the base after that or run it down completely. In this example the Leona player got lucky their ADC didn't flame, AFK, or run it down. They also got lucky their other lanes were winning and their jungle came over first to help. From my experience, the other lanes start losing and their jungle hard camps bot at that point. Sometimes even their mid or top comes because they can. Then its just 4 or 5 man dives constantly bot to the point I can't play the game. The rest of my team doesn't do anything to punish it either. Wish this was a one off thing, but it isn't. Support in low elo has no agency. When I duo with a friend who is decent enough I can climb very easily even if the person is lesser skilled than me. I prefer soloing because I think duo in soloq shouldn't ever be a thing. Lastly, what the Anivia did by going AFK during that game, that is literally 60%+ of every game I play in soloQ on my support account. Certain times of the day and certain times of the year have that happen more often than not. I literally tallied up thousands of my games for a couple of years to see the pattern so I am not speaking of anecdotes here. I don't know why Riot match making is so piss poor to some accounts. When I do a new account, so long as I don't "smurf" the early games I don't get low quality match ups from the system. My support account hovers from gold to plat most seasons where I have taken many an account playing mid or jungle to diamond to sell those accounts off for profit. I keep the support account as a personal challenge to myself. I can make a new account from level 30 that I bought for cheap to a diamond rank in about a month of playing about 20-30 games a week with a duo partner. It isn't that hard. I sell it for far more than I pay for it. Oh for those out there wondering, I am in my mid 40s, I do that as side cash for fun. I have 3 kids and I am not your typical player of this game. Or maybe I am. Point I am making is support has far less agency in lower elos for carrying and far more agency in higher elos. Jungle and mid have far more agency with mid having the most agency in low elo for carrying. Seriously it is stupid easy to get to at least plat playing mid. Just coordinate with your jungler for ganks, and roam bot for ganks and you win games easy. Jungle at lower elos is harder to carry if every lane is inting from level 1. I've been in games where every lane is literally 0/6 before 7 minutes. There is no helping any lane at that point.

No. Supports can be useful to the team without adc, due to their kits. An adc without a support is just a glorified minion. Adc sucks? No problem, here's what you do: 1. Look at the scoreboard. 2. Determine who has the best chance to carry. 3. Abandon the adc like a deadbeat dad going out for smokes. 4. Feed the carry.

@@bruceweiner5306 that's sort of how I do it, however I support the person with the most potential at that moment. If our 14/0 fiora is split pushing while we're in a skirmish in river and I'm walking down mid, I'm gonna go help out at the skirmish and pocket the one that will win that fight. If fiora were there, oh man a fiora being pocketed by a soraka is petrifying because she can dive as hard as she wants and still not die. Adc 9/10 will not do anything impactful in the game. Not to mention riot has a bag of rocks as their brain and only buffs the characters, not the role. No matter what character you put in the ADC role, they're going to be weaker than anywhere else you play them because you're levels behind the funny guy mid lane, and it just so happens that they really like to prey on people that are weaker than them. No one really wants to play a marksman ADC anymore because they aren't rewarding, where as you can play a mage or mobile skirmisher (for example both yasuo and ziggz are in the bot selection in champion select) and you will often times find more success because you don't need the intense movement, gameplay and decision making skills to play them, you can just wing it and it will work because the odds of you versing an adc main who is upset like me who just wants to feel impactful like the one game they played today where they hard carried because the other bot lane duo sucked. But it doesn't happen, and you just roll them. why? Because bot lane sucks. Hardest role, least rewarding (it's far more fun to pop off as a reksai, yasuo, or Lee sin than auto attacking everyone to death.) And the easiest to lose (less exp because it is shared with the brick wall of a support who got auto filled instead of waiting for someone who actually cares about the role and winning) It sucks. Started LoL as an adc main, then support, then back to adc, then support for a while. Now I main jungle and top because the roles aren't fun in any way, and it finally clicked that they weren't and I accepted it. Now I am having the most fun I've ever been having playing rek'sai, sion, even rakan in the jungle and slaughtering while if I were stuck bot I'd be playing my favorite boy rakan and still getting and because the mid lane assassin has all AOE attacks and has to graze me to do full damage and instakills me before I can e away.

4:17 Hector enabled his team to make a bad decision : notice how he walks into the river in front of his jungler , giving the impression that he would go in : no warning sign saying do not go , and if he thought they can't contest this he could have gone to the lane and kept farming instead of tiptoeing around the dragon pit which is a very bronze move.

Don't lose it on champ select. If you've got caitlyn + any mage on the other team you want to be able to have the range to poke back with.

If you're a main sp, you should play ap support this patch. They can carry easier than the tank.

[@johnysimps1191]

"Oh no. Zac has done the unthinkable" 😂. Do everything right but still lose. This loss was pretty much the auto loss that we occasionally run into as league players. However most times I'm dupet fed in my ranked games and bcoz I'm perma bronze someone is always doing something stupid. But i give it my all regardless and all I'd like to knoe is which one of my losses was salvageable and which ones are auto losses

[@alexanderhayward8505]

If you are bronze it's because you're not good enough. I'm struggling to get out of gold because I'm not good enough rn. But I can hard carry through most bronze games just like a diamond player can hard carry through most games in my elo.

[@alexanderhayward8505]

@@johnysimps1191 no one is trashing you. The reality is it's tough to know 100% which losses are winnable and which aren't because you make mistakes every single game and they contribute to the loss even if they aren't the primary reasons you lose.

[@salihnu]

My issue is, wirh other roles you still can split push and try to go for a macro play. As a standard support, enchanter and engage specific, you are more of a multiplier, but X times a Zero is still Zero. In the past i liked to go Janna, because her utility kit work even with no levels, build zz'rot and bamner, set up a sidelane, or even both side lanes with her ms tempo and otherwise try to play around my teammates. Disrupting the enemy teams, help with disengage and try to bind the enemy team, while zz'rot and banner can be used either to depush a lane from the base or push a side lane. The items itself also helped me being tanky and Banner even had some ststs Janna was happy to have. It was not a guaranteed win, but often enough it was enough to stabilize the game and work towards some advantages or plays. I didn't feel utter useless and hopeless with a sad Team as a support.

[@monferno1]

Not being able to carry as support made me change to jungle main, but now I’m just going 14/4 as jungle and still losing

[@happycamperds9917]

It is pretty hard to carry as support lol, one time me and my ADC both had 10:3:10 KDRS and we were 2 levels ahead of everyone else but still lost because the top lane had a bad mu.

Is it ok to ask for blue buff as yuumi? I really really need to spam my E in team fights without the risk of jumping out to activate my passive... Pls tell me cz Ive been thinking about this for days and people keep telling me supports don't need buffs. Is it true?

[@notshaz1721]

If youre having really bad teams often you should pick champ that are not support but something that can carry like midlaner with lvls behind or items. Something like zoe which deals alot damage even as support

I doubt that would happen above iron, and if your that low elo that your teammates suck that much, you must suck too

[@petergulvas6553]

@@David-vz4yk that happend to my friend, it was something like low silver, the point is you cant carry this as a support and its really not a good role to climb in low elo, but you already saw this in the video, he would definitely carry them more if he had those 5 kills by himself

7:23 I get that point, but you could burst if everyone is ready. At that point, it is too late, so I wouldn’t engage there.

[@DimitrisVettas38]

for me is not issue if someone sucks, the worst thing is if ur adc troll and leave lvl 1 from lane because u no help him as leona lvl 1 vs lvl 2 enemys and he die 0-3 at 3 min. or another bad type of teammate is that who bait you to engage u both full hp but ur adc will sit back when u engage and will dance for make u tilt and die. thats happen to divisions like gold and plat... sometimes in diamond too

[@nicodamus6895]

Just a few hours ago I had a game where my Yasuo got mad at me (jungle) for not ganking his lane after he, willingly and on his own, dove the tower on a 2v1 situation in which both enemies were seriously fed (because of him). So he starts “jungle diff, gg”, then goes commit suicide again by entering the drake on a 4v2 situation and again goes “jungle diff”. Anyways, he got really mad at me for his errors, so he decided to punish me by following me around the camp, stealing my farm and last hitting my buffs for the rest of the game. I hate childish people like that.

[@nicodamus6895]

Worst part is, he was actually a really good player, and he could’ve carried the game if he wanted to. First few minutes of the game he scored a seriously clean 1v4 on his own and kept bullying his opponent like he had a his own personal lane bitch. The thing is, he got way too cocky and confident in his abilities, and started making dumb choices because he was sure he was able to outplay everyone, not even realizing some enemies were fed.

When you got all questions right for all the proper reasons and you're still hardstuck silver because... well... 13:50 explains my life as a support :^)

[@nickeastmusic9930]

You are silver because you play worse than the supports who are in gold.

[@FinlayDaG33k]

I am not some kind of challenger support or anything, but I doubt that my ADC running it down, my midlaner going AFK, my jungler inting into a 1v4 over a silly drake and my toplaner basically afk farming are "because I play worse that the supports who are in gold". Yesterday, we had a game where we completely roflstomped the botlane and basically had the entire win in our pocket... Just for our Shaco to get too cocky, give away a 700g shutdown for nothing and then starting to literally run it down mid. All while our toplaner was having some connection issues... Yea... that's *totally* "because I play worse than the supports who are in gold"... And ofc, now you might say: "BuT tHaTs OnLy oNe GaMe"... But no, losing for things that are beyond my control is extremely common in my games... Additionally, when I see how my opponent supports pull off stupid stuff just for their enemy jungler to come in and save the day? I don't think that those supports play better than me :^)

play at 9:15 - 10 or whatever is just spacing right. same concept. I wouldn't have followed up on Cait either, but not to save my own skin necessarily, but just because Kai'sa had poor spacing in the fight. Like, if she didn't go in on cait when the jg initiated on her, she'd most likely not have gone in when you followed it up. she'd have nowhere to go afterwards, her death would be practically guaranteed, just like the support.

While not the focus of the video, im curious at his item choice. Usually sups go locket but he went iceborn.

[@amilo5]

It gives you more agency because hector knows he cant trust his adc and his whole team so why buy a shielding item for an adc who is dead ???? Gauntlet can maybe slow down a fed carry and safe your life in dire situations. If you rly have big ballz as a support you can even go damage (like devine sunderer on leona or ludens on enchanters) because then you at least have impact on the game and you are not just a "buff" for your 0/10/0 adc.

[@dennysunny716]

[@entropicplays162]

Honestly Mcbaze, you say that the team should know better than to int at dragon when outnumbered, but seeing how prevalent this issue is even all the way up into high elo, I don't think it's the case at all. People simply overvalue dragon as an objective because they are concerned about soul, even when playing for soul is not even a wincon. It's ridiculous. I don't understand why people got this hiccup around dragon and soul. I've won several games where lost soul and I've also lost games where we had soul.

[@PetrushT3]

Because if planned properly or acted upon quickly when you have a window, it's free real estate. It becomes a problem and a point of contention when people are not valuing it. At 4 souls, it's like all your times has +1 item, of course it's valuable. But that might be my style of macro. Eat everything and suffocate them, rather than go for the sick outplayz. Same as how I'm happy to sit in a wave with nash and watch cannons chip away at a tower, literally doing nothing but stare the other team down.
