Supports - What Should I Try? Major Problem - RUNES

Christopher RPh··1 votes·307 views

I'm Mastery 6 with Janna and I'm scared to branch out. I do really well with her. One major problem is that I don't have the runes for a lot of good champions. It took me this past two weeks to get Janna and Sona's runes. It burnt me out so badly. In game, I've gotten to the point where I'm 8-16 hours in and numb just needing runes.

I have all the champions up until Illaoi.

Here is my runes list: Quints - AP x 3, AD x 3, Life Steal x 2, Movement Speed x 3 Marks - Armor x 9, AD x 9, Attack Speed x 9, Magic Penetration x 8, Crit Chance x 1 Seal - Armor x 9, Health x 9, Scaling Health x 1, Glyphs - AP x 9, MR x 9, Scaling MR x 9

What champions can I main support with those runes? I need to finish getting scaling health. Janna needed base health according to a guide I googled and it was 820 IP per rune. It took forever.

I would like to try Nami. I have the runes suggested for her. I would like to try Sona but her songs are confusing and I'm procrastinating using her. I have her runes. I really should try more aggressive champions, too... but Janna is just so good.

Thank you!

With most support you will want to mess around with MS, and armor (not scaling), and then depending on whether you're playing an "enchanter" kind of support (Janna Sona Lulu for example) or a more tanky one (think Nautilus Taric Thresh), add either AP for the former, and scaling health for the later.

Yeah the scaling health is for other lanes. I like Galio and he uses Scaling Health. But yeah, good to know it will come in handy for the tanky supports. I'm afraid of going in and dying haha

Maybe I'm biased but I think Nautilus is very good to "learn" how much dmg opponents can dish out on you and for when you should retreat because of his shield and overall base stats. But hey, if a champion was made for diving, they won't get killed all that easily, so don't sweat it too much! It's definitely easier to get out alive of a trade than it looks.

runes matter so little outside of a basic set

Don't bother with runes

Runes don't matter that much? This true?

As long as you can fill out all the spaces with some semi relevant stat, the little nuances of the rune system won't really affect your gameplay that much. Say something like: 9 AP glyphs, 4 armor seals, 5 scaling Mr seals, 1 armor quint and 2 AP Quints with another 9 AP marks would be fine for support... even though it also works pretty well for a midlaner.

The Rune system is being changed so I wouldn't bother with runes. Also Sona is very easy. Lulu is fun and kinda like Janna. Nami is also very fun.
