How to play marksmen as support?

Lapis··1 votes·303 views

Climbing is such a stressful goal, so I make my own goals. My long-term goal is to get every character to mastery 7 by playing them as support. Most characters this seems doable, but I'd like to know how to be useful supporting as a marksman. Please don't just tell me not to do it, thank you!

You poke poke poke basically. Stuff like Ashe and MF were meta marksman at some point. Aery/Comet are probably the best things to take.

Jhin has a long range root that activates on allies damaging champions, so your ADC attacking will activate your root. He seems like a helpful option to play as a marksman support. His traps/ult also slow enemies, allowing for allies to go in and get kills. Caitlyn also has traps that root/slow targets so she would be helpful as a support as well. GL though.

Well, most of the time it will be by poking your enemy out of lane if possible. Some champions (Caitlyn, Jhin, Ashe, etc) have some utility that you can utilize. You can often times build a bit tankier if you so chose, but make sure you are still doing damage.... because that is the whole point of double marksmen bott lane.

There are some unique interactions that you should be aware of so that you can successfully choose the correct ones for the situation however.... Sivir is good vs Blitz and Thresh and Naut by baiting out the hooks mostly and then using your shield. Miss Fortune can kill Zyra plants with a Q and make it bounce with a crit on the Zyra or enemy ADC, Ashe has long range stun to help get picks. Ezreal will mostly be Iceborn Gauntlets and either tankier or more damage.... depending on the situation.

That kinda stuff you are looking for?
