Need some advice

5 people tower dive my adc when I'm playing braum support at 10 minutes in after the other lanes lost two towers and i have to protect my adc against all of them. What can I do? Top laner uses "your mother" insults but those don't seem to be effective. Mid laner blames the jungler but that's not doing any damage either. Jungler smites red at 100 hp with a full health bar and dies to raptors because he doesn't have smite, and uses pantheon ult to ult behind the enemy bot lane tower to gank.... is it hopeless? How do you support mains step up your game in these scenarios? Yes I ward. Yes I buy support items.

u play carrry supports like zilean karma brand lux annie hell even ziggs just pick a mage u can play that does a shit ton of dmg but can still provide some type of cc for ur laner and carry the lane.

playing cc supports is great but it wont help u in the long run of climbing unless u know ur adc isnt trash and can play safe and know when to go balls to the wall

I kinda liked my adc, it was the other 3 people coming at us that was hard to handle.

Some games you just can't win no matter how well you do. Sometimes in a situation like yours i grab a zzrot and try to give my team a chance at winning by calling good tower rotations and stuff like that. If your team is super anti fun and hates you then mute all and move on

If need be, you let them kill your ADC while you escape. While you want to try and save them if possible, you aren't going to turn a 2v5 fight unless they horribly screw up.

You are probably screwed at that point, but it minimizes the gold they gain if you manage to escape alive.

The issue was I had a shyvana and jayce coming from behind the tower and voli and vayne from the front and ekko coming in at the side. There was no getting out of that. My other laners weren't even pushing lanes they were walking around the jungle hitting plants.

That's one of those you have to accept it moments tbh.

oh also, tanky supports aren't really in that good of a spot atm, you'd prob be better playing a carry support.

Maybe riot should give a little more for us tanks... I get the meta shift and tanks were op before but.... i really enjoy playing tanks. Not to be op.

eventually they will, this game always seems to somehow shift back to the tank meta no matter what they do.

Try to drag out your death (to waste their time) and don't waste Summoner Spells unless you are sure to escape.

Your only real option at that point would be to turn on one group and attempt to get a kill or two before the other group joined them and you both died.

If the end result will be the same, you may as well try to get something from it.

I do have to be careful in my elo some adcs get set off if I play a carry support or damaging support, even if I build support and don't cs.

With 5 on 2 they can dive you no matter what. You have to leave tower. Likely the enemies are fed as well.

In that situation it just sounds like you have to try to stall out the game. The question isn't what to do at this point, its what could've been done earlier.

I know thats not very useful, but thats unfortunately the answer.

Analyze what you could have done before the point of no return. For instance, maybe 4 man invading the enemies buff level 1 since you are braum. Forcing some flashes.

Ultimately you need your team to stop feeding once they've died say twice, so you can stall the game.

The best advice I have is to either play jungle, top, or mid instead. I know, thats sucks, I've had to change myself from being a support main. Its just not reliable in low elo. OR play carry supports, like brand or annie, and get good at it.

Don't worry about your adc, if hes good, he won't flame you for going carry. If hes bad, you're getting flamed no matter what more than likely. Just don't worry about it, mute him if you have to and do your best to carry. Any adc that is flaming his support is bad, I'm guilty of it myself, many times. I'm often right as well, but flaming someone is beyond retarded. It will only make them play worse and learn/focus less.

Just don't take cs, don't push lane unless you know what you're doing. However if the lane is pushing in uncontrolled help him control it, lol.
