until the dice read five or eight.
If you get stuck being a jungler, be a protective jungler, farm, ward, and countergank.
Gragas, and Reksai are fairly good. Can get out of trouble easily with their mobility, clear reliably and safely, and are fine as pure tank if you don't do well.
If you get stuck supporting it's a bit more complicated. You need two things, lane presence and the ability to NOT die during laning phase.
Lane presence means being positioned so your ADC can last hit and you can counter-harass or threaten if they try to piss off your ADC.
Against kill lanes (Leona, Blitz) or even just strong laning things (Draven, Thresh, Sona) keeping your distance and possibly letting them push you into tower (or if your ADC is hard pushing, help them) being in the middle of the lane against these champions tends to be the worst.
The general rules for picking your support is
-
Can my ADC push early? Y - defensive tank support like Braum/Alistar work for living through most lanes that your ADC is already strong in early.
N - Supports with some early push/poke to help them farm like Karma, Lulu can help alleviate their biggest weakness (careful of all-ins)
-
If the enemy lane mainly Poke? Sustain supports like Soraka, Sona, Nami and even Janna (shield timing) can be phenomenal.
-
Fuck the lane, I'm roaming? Blitz, Alistar, Thresh, Bard, can win other lanes pretty quickly and hopefully translate that down to smash the bottom laner.
