Alright people, I am 0-3 on my placement. I played late at night out of spite of my own sleep, and likewise was probably tilted and deranged. Regardless, moving forward I would like to know what to look out for, what mistakes I should avoid, and any other criticism regarding my play. I am providing my op.gg and am willing to take all the necessary advice. If any additional questions are needed to be answered, please post a reply and I will try my best to address them.

Thanks People.

Off the cuff, as a plat support main, here are a few quick things I spotted:

1.) You got paired with some awful teammates, more than 3 of them had a sub 30% winrate in ranked - matchmaking OP!

2.) Your first ranked game wasn't much of a game so much as a 20-minute blowout. You didn't really play.

3.) If you do well, you tend to do REALLY well. So I think you have good fundamentals based on that alone - You run into problems when you start falling behind, so I'd suggest you look at what you're doing during a game where things are going south.

You tend to die more in these scenarios and your KDA drops hugely. This suggests to me that you should pay more attention to who is fed, and watch out for fed opponents, and KNOW when you can't win.

This also suggests to me that you THINK you can kill people when you might not actually be able to, leading to unsafe or 'risky' play. Double check your engagements, ESPECIALLY when the enemy team has some kills.

Recovering a 'bad' game is incredibly difficult, and many times impossible, but that definitely seems to be where you should put your focus, I'd wager.

In placements dodges dont count as a loss, so you can look up the stats of all your teammates beforehand. If someone is on tilt or extremely bad just dodge that game. In game you can't control your allies as much and just need to focus more on your own play

You Garen skillup order is wrong, ward usage way too low and build is very poor which is likely why youre losing all your matchups. CS needs to improve too but that'll come with time and easier when youre winning lane

Brand build is also terrible. Why would you get a item 3024 before upgrading to item 3311 ? You're not supposed to be a tank to get more resists, just get your quest and support item done first then start on other items.
