Support for a Support main

Heyo friendos. So I'm just kinda hoping that I can get some help with playing support in ranked. I'm silver V, I just got demoted and I'm about to get demoted again if I lose a couple more games. I'm a Thresh one trick but I can still play other champs like Blitz, Leona, Braum and Tahm at a pretty decent level.

  1. I need help with roaming in the early game to help the rest of the team. I struggle with roaming mid and helping the jungler and I'd like to get better at this, as I feel it will really help me win some more games. I find that I often wind up with a really good score, such as my last game I was 4/2/24 which is for Silver I think a pretty good score. But even though I may be doing well, the rest of the team is falling behind and we lose the game. So I want to be able to get better at roaming so that the whole team ends up with a better score and we have a higher chance of winning.

  2. Should I try switching up which character I play as? I've been playing Thresh for a majority of the time I've played league. I have very nearly 300,000 mastery points and I find that I play him really well and I really enjoy playing as him. I don't play him in every situation though, such as if our team needs a tank I'll swap to a more tanky character. But I don't know if swapping characters will really help me at all. I definitely would like to just play Thresh for however long I play League but I really just cannot consistently win games anymore. I know Thresh is a very good cc carry and I really enjoy that, but are there any other carry supports than I should maybe play for awhile to give myself a break with Thresh?

  3. Should I try switching roles? So this is the last thing I would like to do. I really really love playing support and it is by far my favorite role in the game, also the role that I am best with. However I did main Ahri in the mid lane for a while before I started playing support. Do you think I should maybe go back to that and hope that I can carry as an actual carry role?

Thanks for the read guys, I would love to talk with anyone who thinks they have any advice. If I'm just bad and I need to git gud let me know that too lol.

Your low elo support carries are Morgana Zyra Lux and rushing item 3098 item 3020 item 3916 item 3135 Magic pen is extremely strong on ap champs. You cant rely on your adc at that elo if you pick these champs and build like this you can hard carry from the support role.

The champs you play are strong and high impact and their strength is macro- just keep working on efficient roams and if I might suggest, watch Nasteey's youtube videos (they are quality).

About Thresh... I don't think he's good for climbing solo. I've got about the same mastery as you, my mechanics are exceptional, but my winrate's.. not great. All those times where your team misplays around your kit start to add up. He is EXCEPTIONAL with a duo, but without one it's very --- ehhh.

yup. silver would be the worst rank to climb with support. my friends are also recommending me to climb with other roles first then maybe go back to support

im on like an 8 games losing streak big sigh...and the only reason it wasnt an actual 9 games losing streak is because my duo hard carried in that one win...

I know this is two months old.

If you haven't found anything to get that WR up, try switching roles.

I have, at one point in time, mained each role. I recommend spending some time playing different champs in different positions, learn there kits and what you want from a support in each of those lanes/champions. It will help you set things up. I have just started playing again and after playing some ADC and Mid have come back home to Support and have been enjoying, however brief it may be, my climb out of G5 with thresh.

Good luck my dude :)
