I don't think it is even worth it playing support before mid silver-gold

Hello

I usually find I have to exchange my summs for a kill, or surviving at least.

Often I find the assassins are too greedy and will tower dive in an attempt to get a kill. In these situations I tend to let them jump on me before flashing out and throwing down my knock-up, silence, slow etc. and then the rest of my abilities as needed, relying on the tower to do a lot of the work as it has more damage, and my adc if they are still alive, hopefully.

I will sometimes use exhaust if I have it to reduce their damaged dealt and slowing them usually causing them to die or leave low health and me still having a turret and alive, most of the time.

Other than that just be wary not to go to far away from your turrets without knowing where the enemies are.

Hope this is useful to you

Playing support in bronze

That was your first mistake. Wait til you get to like Silver 3 or 4. Trust me.

In bronze? Play this champion. Zyra

Start with item 3303 item 2003 item 2003 item 2003 .

Laning phase: your plants are your largest source of spell damage, but don't forget autos. Zyra has a solid auto animation and can harass very hard when the enemy ADC goes for CS. If the enemy lane doesn't strike you as a threat (in champ select), even consider running hybrid penetration runes so your autos hit harder.

Once you hit level three, just wait for the enemy ADC to CS. E as he walks forward to root him, follow up with QW to spawn a plant on top of him. Procs Thunderlord's every time. Loads of damage. Once you start storing multiple seeds, you can even EQWW for yet more burst. Your goal is to zone the enemy ADC very, very hard. But remember that you're squishy. Don't get greedy.

First back, aim to buy either item 2049 or item 3098 item 1001 item 2055

item 2049 if you're planning to farm a lot or the enemy jungler has a heavy gank presence. Otherwise, just build offensively, cover your flanks with a control ward, and buy your sightstone on second back.

Your core: item 2301 item 3151 item 3116 .

When ahead, build item 3136 before item 3116 . An early item 3136 does a ton of damage. Otherwise, just build item 3116 first.

Your boots (choose one): item 3117 item 3020 .

item 3117 is your default choice and usually what you buy if you can effectively gank mid. Helps you get deep wards in the enemy jungle which can thwart ganks. Super useful against aggressive early game junglers, like Elise LeeSin .

item 3020 if you need to secure your lane. I buy these when I need to hard carry my carry.

Finish your build with two of the following: item 3102 item 3190 item 3222 item 3165 item 3089 item 3135 item 3157

item 3102 If you're carrying and the enemy team has a ton of CC and/or magic damage. item 3190 If the enemy team has a lot of dangerous AoE damage (e.g. Brand Twitch ). item 3222 If the enemy team has a lot of CC, and you have a single fed carry that needs to be protected at all costs (e.g. a fed MasterYi ). item 3165 If the enemy team has a ton of sustain (e.g. Swain Soraka ). item 3107 Burst mitigation. Best when coupled with item 3190 . item 3089 Only as your final item, and only if you don't need anything else, build this to carry harder. item 3135 Cheap and adds tons of damage. You'll buy this in most of your games. The default choice. item 3157 If you're carrying and an enemy assassin (or two) is focusing you in team fights.

Sample final build:item 2301 item 3117 item 3116 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089 .

Enjoy freelo.
