How to play support - a detailed guide

Start champ select with "Fuck, I got autofilled, I don't have any supports, can someone else support? This is my Yasuo only account."

After you ban your adc's intended pick, lock in Lux and setup full scaling AP runes and masteries.

Start the game with either item 1082 or item 1083 , and max E, using it on the minion wave whenever possible. Don't waste on the opponent though, that's the adc's job to do damage to champions. Minions only for you. Make sure to stand behind your adc so they take all damage instead of you, they have lifesteal, they'll be fine.

If your adc hasn't left the game yet, put a point in W. This is your highest damaging ability and should be used on the enemy team whenever possible, but don't ever aim it at your team, friendly fire is bannable. Never put a point in Q if you don't have to.

Once you're 6, all of your other skills are now unusable. Just sit back behind your team and try to get as many last hits on enemy champions as possible with your ult. For advanced players, try ulting a minion wave, preferably right before a teamfight like at baron.

At the end of the game, remind your adc in post chat how much more damage you did than them to establish dominance, then quickly leave before they have a chance to respond.

Remember the key to being a good support is to ping "?" whenever your adc dies to boost morale. Sometimes you need multiple pings in a row to make sure they hear it, in case they were alt + tab'd.

After selling your fully stacked item 1083, the recommended build path is item 3041 -->item 3089 -->item 3285 -->item 3135 -->item 3089 -->item 1001 , in order.

Best of luck playing autofill support!

Support in reality:

  1. Pick any champion you want.

  2. Buy Ruby Sightsone and Redemption.

  3. Look at the shop, does the item you're looking at have an active? If so, buy the item.

  4. Walk into a 5v5 teamfight.

  5. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/ktpng.gif

You really should consider getting the gold income item, the blue one. It will help you spot people in the bushes to snipe and it's like 2000 free gold by the end of the game. More if you harass effectively. I know it's not true Lux support style, but if you're gonna go ham you should at least get dressed in some good pork.

At first I read "I refuse to support - detailed guide". Was really confused.

The sad part is that you could put this in gameplay and you wouldn't be wrong.

no one likes to supp due to it being boring and you get blamed for everything when you lose

I literally never get filled support. It's always jungle. My least favorite and worst role that i wish would die. so im convinced auto fill is punishment from rito to all players to play their least favorite role. Stupidest thing Riot ever added to the game.

I always like to keep in mind of the bad adcs that you get teamed up with to follow this guide. Always assume your adc is ass until you're duo'ing with one.
