So what makes a good Supp great?

A good support will have items with actives and occasionally use them right. A great support will have items with actives and know when and how to use them right, Always!!!!

Seriously, how do people do it all the time, consistently!!! My word, I just had a game. and i had to use all my knowledge as a Support, No, A league of legends player to use them all the time, correctly.

  • item 3222 When to use Mikael's to stop the Ahri charm from killing a high priority target
  • item 3092 When to use frost queens at the right time during a team fight (look for possible flanks or save it to chase down stragglers)
  • item 3190 To try to negate the Brand Ult damage
  • item 3143 Use this to stop Jinx/Xin from going ham on us

Plus i still have to try and used my abilities.

  • Heal the carry
  • Bubble the high priority target
  • Should i ult to engage, or dis-engage

I only have so many fingers.

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Props to the Support's who can do this all the time and not get dizzy trying to figure out what to do, WHILE POSITIONING YOURSELF. You do not get enough credit.

True. Not in this match, but in other matches when the other team does have a true support. They still have to do the same thing. They have to think about all these scenarios and act accordingly.

Actually, they did. Brand support has the 2nd higihest win rate for support. Unless you mean a champ dedicated to the support role. Even still, Brand hs hard cc, and damage. Someone like Leona has hard cc, but no damage, so builds tank. Nami has hard cc and is squishy, but heals. Brand falls into the catagory of burst supports now. Ever since the AP support scalings, champs like Brand and Annie have seen play in a support role, because the itemization favors them more then the actual supports

tl;dr Brand is a real support.

Yup, its madness, but fun. I wish I could keep track of all that.
