Any tips for a support main in Bronze?

So as of late I've been losing a whole lot of matches, I started off pretty well In the beginning having an above 50% win rate (58% to be exact) things were fun and I was winning more that I was losing. Then after that it seemed like everything started going downhill I started tilting majorly and started losing more than winning, I try my best but It seems like everyone around me Isn't up to par with what I'm trying to do even when I try to tell them or even spam pings they don't seem to listen. I play safe and go aggressive when needed I mean sure not I do have bad games every once In a while but I think I preform decently consistent but It's frustrating and gets to you when someone Is just running out there feeding kills. It made it start to think twice If I truly wanted to climb is support the right way to go about things?

karma has a nice kit but she is mana hungry. poke, delayed stun, and shield.

I would just play Braum. I'm 6-1 with him this season when I support. And honestly all I do is eat alot of damage. Just buy time for the rest to do their stuff. And the funny thing is, they seem to listen to the big man with the shield.

i carried myself out of low elo playing nothing but leona. the trick is roaming. enemy mid laner never expects the support to come mid and blow all their cc on them, so it's a pretty easy kill & tower.

deep ward the enemy jungle. remind your team when objectives are respawning because nobody in bronze looks at the timers. buy a pink even if you already have one on the map and just keep it in your inventory (if you have room)

Yeah... don't play support in Bronze. Just kidding. But kind of not really.

Seriously though, you can assume your ADC is gonna be terrible at the game. Might not always be, but generally will. Your best bet to outright carry is to play a mage support who will do so much damage that your ADC is basically your support. Alternatively, you can force-feed your ADC with something like Leona and pray that he won't throw the game away. But he probably will.

Pick 1 or more and learn very well: Annie Lux Morgana Velkoz Zyra

Dont play team supports in bronze. Pick a carry support in bronze. Gain some knowledge and mechanical skill and you're going to win.

My advice is to play supports who can influence the outcome of games.

I played a ton of Soraka support while I was still in bronze. ADC's live or die completely by their support. A Soraka if played correctly with your ADC should mean worst case you do not lose lane. Once you transition out of lane, you have insane healing and a silence which greatly improve your teams fighting chances. Very few bronze players know to kill the Soraka. They keep attacking the person attacking them. Meanwhile you are throwing heals into said person.
