Supporting and Ranked...?

Emerald Fang··1 votes·402 views

First: this isn't a complaint thread; I do enjoy playing support and pick it a lot in ranked. I'm genuinely curious why this happens, however.

Whenever I support, I win virtually 100% of ranked games (I think my winrate is like 95% with support). This happens both when I'm autofilled and when I choose support.

Whenever I don't play support. I lose nearly EVERY single time (20-30% winrate).

Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I don't want to climb too far up the ladder as support and not be able to play other roles, therefore losing the games at those higher ELO's.

It has nothing to do with my performance. I could feed or be fed and nothing happens. It doesn't really have to do with my teammates either, because in every game I play there is always someone who rages or AFK's and sometimes we still manage to win.

Is there an issue with the MMR system or something? Am I being matched against worse enemies/with better teammates? Or am I just better at support?

Go op.gg my stats; I'm just a normal bronze 4 player as far as I know.

Thank you, please leave a comment telling me what's up.

According to your op.gg, you don't see to play support all that much. You have some karma games and a decent amount of Nami in which you have a 86% win rate which is good. I haven't seen you play so I can say for sure what it is but it has nothing to do with the system. You are a okay Nami player. 6 deaths per game is a little high and I always strive to get 15+ assists per game as a support main myself which you are basically at. In bronze a good support actually does wonders for your team and supports can carry really hard. I have been to Platinum II from playing support only and you seem to set your team up to win and that is why you win at support. It's a good thing! Plus name is a solid support I have my fair share of games with her. Keep it up! Good luck!

It sounds more like to me you lack knowledge in your job in other roles. If you have a good KDA and still lose. ASSUMING you weren't paired with the most Sassanian of teammates. You should of been able to carry.

A VERY QUICK AND SIMPLE GUIDE on how to carry on each Role

Step 1 for all lanes, AT LEAST TIE YOUR LANE, you can't carry if you lose lane. (at least you made it a LOT HARDER)

Now..

Top: Either take Teleport, or Exhaust/ignite top. Don't take ghost/heal/cleanse. You win top lane by becoming a strong split pushing threat (assuming you are on a carry champion) Teleport/exhaust/ignite is a tool that allows you to be that threat. If you took Teleport you also want to abuse it to allow you to cover a large portion of the map. If you took teleport look for ganks and strong flanks. The goal of a top lane carry is to control minion waves and be a constant threat to a inhib.

Jungle: Make someone your bitch. You carry as a jungler by chosing someone on the enemy team and saying "this person is now my bitch" You find ways to kill them, and you kill them a lot, once they are dead, you look to find a way to take towers/dragon/Rift Skuttler. You kill them so you can take objectives as fast as possible. Put other people behind and abuse your lead.

Mid: Become a second jungler, roam, roam a lot, coridnate with your jungler to gank either bot lane or top lane, once you get a kill, get the tower, snow ball your lead into other lanes. As a mid laner, just winning lane isn't good enough. YOU MUST share your lead.

Can u provide a link to your main acc? Because on this one your winrate on supp isn't that great. 86% on Nami but you only played 7 games, so you need much, much more That would be all, you don't have any other above 50% winrate on supp

PSA: If top / mid lane switching is a good idea, DO IT. Don't be stubborn.
