Tips for carrying as a tanky based support

Marshbouy··2 votes·421 views

I'm not a support main but i find support very fun, if frustrating. You are entirely dependent on your ADC for damage and in the case of you having a sub par ADC, or quite frankly a terrible one, what do you do? If your draven keeps going so deep into the enemy team that there is no chance of you being able to peel for them, what do you do? I'd like to learn and improve on this role.

As a fellow support main, I feel your pain. I find often it's better if my ADC is that poor to ignore them and start supporting the midlaner, esp. past level 10 or so. Just ignore them and play it like it's a 4v5 and you have no ADC. Doesn't always work, but at least it makes you not useless.

Yea. sometimes you get tired of it. lol. Had a ranked game last night. Our Varus fed their Vayne. And even though our Yasuo was fed well and I was ahead of their Irelia quite well, It wasnt enough with a near non-existent bot lane and absent Yi jungler.

First step is realizing that you're not just there to support the adc. You're the support for the entire team. If that Draven is doing shitty but your mid lane Syndra is 6/0, peel and set up plays for her.

Second step is realizing what your role is. Should you be initiating or peeling? If they've got a super dive heavy team like Vi jungle with a wukong top, you're gonna wanna peel. If they've got a back line that's lacking escapes, go ahead and initiate. The reason maokai is so good is because he often starts fights off initiating then switches to peeling once he's successfully locked down the target.

Thats what i do. Even still its hard to win when the enemy has an ashe that is competent, and our draven is running in 1v5 and feeding after going 9/3 in laning phase.
