As a support, when you win lane hard and get first tower early, what should you do after?

Should I stay bot with my ADC to put their bot lane further behind? Should I go mid and leave my ADC alone to farm? Should we both go mid to take another tower?

It happens pretty often, and I feel like a headless chicken.

So basically stay together, and then it's situational whether to stay or roam? That sounds like a solid advice, especially with the details provided.

Both should go mid if at 20mins or later. Stay bot if each lane is ok. Help other lanes if they are feeding.

it depends really... if i get my adc fed i will normally gank mid and let my ADC get solo farm bot and try to get mid back in the game.

you ca also take objectives like dragon, or if EVERY lane is winning and u have a CRAZY lead u can risk doing herald.

but honestly if u can get away with doing a herald you already won the game..

Rotate, whichever lane has the lowest tower go to theirs first so you can take it then rotate to the other so you can aquire a bunch of team gold/map pressure. If dragon is up that takes priority. If you can secure rift herald too. It's always best to take as many objectives as possible as fast as possible especially in solo queue before anybody has a chance to throw by doing retarded 1v5s

You should rotate. Laning phase usually ends when the first tower is taken and after that you usually want to team fight/take objectives as a group.

It really depends...if my ADC is capable of being alone (aka has mobility and at least one summoner up). I'll roam mid or top and try to make a play there (it helps that the bulk of my supports are good at roaming). If it's like a Jinx or something immobile, you might want to ban with her or at least team with your jungler and start duo invading on the side of the map that your ADC is in so your close to answer if they jump your ADC.

You should take dragon and change lanes with top. But never do that. In monkeyQ soloQ you will never get success with this strategy. But that's the right choice if you destroy bot but cannot go to second tier tower. Your tank should be able to farm more or less comfortably 2vs1 in bot if they dont change lanes too, and you would snowball top too. If they change lanes too, you will destroy them in top exactly as you did in bot.

Another option and easier to execute is to rotate mid and snowball your advantage. That's the way to go in soloQ, I guess.

Stay together. Push out your lane hard, roam mid and put some damage on turret or take it and then rotate back to bot lane. Rinse and repeat until mid turret is down.

Then make sure to secure drag if it is up (order for drag or mid turret can change). After that rotate top get that outer turret but don't just hand another turret to them for it, make sure lanes are pushing properly.

Basically, the worst thing I see is team who rotate mid at the wrong time and get no damage on mid turret yet give up a ton on our bot lane turret. Just because you got their turret it does not mean we hand them ours. You need to keep the lead.

Roam with your adc to mid lane take the tower, by that point ward up around dragon and take it, recall, then either return mid to counter their push on your tower or go top and take another tower...
