Took me being a Sion support meta slave to do it, but I made it. Now I just have to avoid demotion. Maybe I'll hit gold this year.

If it makes you feel better, I just seem to like support tanks. Every time they ban him, I go back to my old main Leona. Then they ban her, so I’m learning how to Braum. Think I got promoted playing Sivir though.

Ah okay then it's fine. I just HATE people going from say Thresh to Janna just because she's broken in the hypercarry meta. If he's actually fun for you, then I'm happy.

I’ve tried Janna and I’m terrible at her. For me, and I don’t think it’s just the meta, Sion does what Leona can do but better. You need coordination to play her in bronze. On Sion, I can spam e-q, zone with q, tank with w, and when I feed my ass off, can at least help with my passive. I’m less reliant on team utility, but I still build knight’s vow and locket. Also the ult is great when I split push, or initiate from the other side of the map (and miss).

Well, Janna is hard in the need for a good timing and game knowledge (When to Ult/Q to cancel combos)

Mecha Zero skin helps with that.

where did you start and how many games,? i am trying to Sion my way up and keep dying B3. NEVER GIVE UP!!! NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

Oh I’ve been bronze for years. Can’t tell you how many games, since I play different champions in different roles. I’ve found that I play better when I have long ranged champions like Varus or Caitlyn. I poke a lot with E, especially when they try to cs, more so with cannons. I only Q to zone or to combo.

I build cdr and ward a lot. Upgrade your support item when you can, and depending on the lane, rush tabis or treads. I go for that T3 support item for the cdr, then it depends. If my adc or someone is fed or can do well, I use knight’s vow. If there’s mix damage or aoe, I go locket. If I’m having mana problems, glacial shroud.

I’ve been building banner lately, but it depends on the game. 2-3 ap users, or if I think we can baron, I use it. I think you should stick with your team, but don’t be afraid to split push. E-Q at least clears the caster minions, so you can push the wave a little.

I’m often 30 or 40% cdr in my games, which gives you more control of your ults. I need to peel better for my team, but mainly I just disrupt the enemy.

At least that’s how I play. A better main or higher player can help you better.
