What is a Support supposed to do

Velgam·Apr 12, 2017·27 votes·2,270 views

I main leona so a lot of times this happens I go after the enemy ADC, his support kills my adc http://i.memeful.com/media/post/lMzzGBM_700wa_0.gif Ok..I go after the support since he is squisher, the adc kills my adc.... http://i.memeful.com/media/post/3M23xLR_700wa_0.gif Ok im lv 6 I go in, and stun lock them both....my adc dies to the minions... http://i.memeful.com/media/post/3dBvY3d_700wa_0.gif

And to those who say just stop going in, my adc usually gets poked down and killed.

Build full AD Leona and murder their faces while they're occupied trying to finish your "ADC".

What gave it away?

The smashing good idea of AD Leona. Surely only Sion mains and Brand Mains are smart enough to come up with that on the fly.

Looks good to me.

Better yet main a galio so they are forced to kill you first so that your adc gets away and calls you an idiot. Then 2 lvls later when the reverse happens

100000000% agreed most adc are garbage phucks to be honest

EDIT : by "adc" i meant the players not the champs.

That's what I love about Vanguard supports. If your ADC dies it's not your fault. They were just unworthy of your assistance. Now go help mid secure a kill, or make their jungler your bitch.

(Jarvan's better though)

Been trying this guy as a supp and it's being going well so far.

gg report Leona. Didn't stun minions, too.

"What is a support supposed to do?"

Don't place wards.
Build damage.
Enjoy your S in the post game lobby. :D (I am not responsible if you fail to achieve an S using this method)

Don't play Leona.. I used to main her, but retarded ADC mains can't play with a engage support.

ADC mains can't follow any call, they want the world to spin around them. It's ridiculous the amount of times I've initiated perfectly onto both ADC and Support, manage to chip away 60~~80% of their HP, just to see my ADC farming 2~~3 steps behind me and when I recall he tries to go for a 1v2 and dies alone.

VelgamApr 12, 20172 votes

I can take down both past 50% on my own and my adc still fails.

ZT XperimentorApr 12, 20172 votes

I'd suggest going with braum or tahm then.

VelgamApr 12, 20172 votes

I like bruam's design but is much harder to secure kills with compared to leona, where you have to get your q pass the minions, leona's e ignores them.

ZT XperimentorApr 13, 20172 votes

It's why I don't always lead off with his Q, his basic attacks still apply his passive. That and braum can jump to allied minions, useful for both engage & escape. Along with repositioning for using his shield.

Well, I mean, you're Leona.

Make them dead.

VelgamApr 12, 20171 votes

I usually go in and kill both, then my adc flames me for taking all the kills.....

La Belle SauvageApr 12, 20173 votes

One support main to another, let them flame away. I noticed Better adc's position themselves to get kills when I go in.

TruTechilo512Apr 12, 20173 votes

Yea, this is accurate. Plat 5 adcs are the literal worst, but you just gotta move past it. Until high diamond adcs are trash. Terrible positioning and just get free wins off playing the easiest position to carry on. Just work on your own game. Try playing hard peel supports to save your adcs when they're being fuckheads.

MelledoneusApr 13, 20171 votes

Just type "my b."

Boom, they can't say anything without your team hating them.

Masterofchaos999Apr 13, 20172 votes

Stop going in? As Leona? I don't understand this concept...

Kuzja1Apr 13, 20172 votes

If your ADC is absolute garbage. . . https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/48/c0/82/48c082204c7f8a02119258c7cb3f940b.jpg . . . you treat'em like one.

WyvernEggApr 12, 20171 votes

pick a different support

lofi n chillhopApr 12, 20171 votes

I upvoted because OMG I understand your pain friend :)

generally my advice is to try to not think "blame" but instead just say "what can I do in these situations" and look for options. even if it is true that it is your adc who is the problem, there is always something you can do to try to make up for any situation. even if it is still hard

VelgamApr 12, 20172 votes

I usually ask them what would they like me to do and call out the situation im in, * if i go in you die, if i dont you get poked and die, if I stun lock the adc the supp kills you, if i stun lock the supp the adc kills you, what should I do?* usually never get a response from them for the rest of the game.

La Belle SauvageApr 12, 20171 votes

I stopped playing Leona, I figured that I would pick her back up one I am paired with better ADCs. First though I need to get myself out of bronze. Have you tried a sustain support?

VelgamApr 12, 20172 votes

I like tank champs, hate playing squishies like Nami and sona.

TruTechilo512Apr 12, 20173 votes

Learn Thresh. Does everything. Can sustain with targon's, can engage, can peel, decently tanky. He's got everything.

TeslynApr 13, 20171 votes

you need a ADC to understand: -if they have a aggressive support that can kill the adc you have to target the ADC and your ADC has to go after their ADC. you must switch half way through the fight back to the ADC and kill him.
