Player's Guide, How To Be A Fantastic Support. Featuring Austin Powers!

First things first, in champion selection make sure to introduce yourself! You're the support and every needs to know about it! https://media.giphy.com/media/QQkyLVLAbQRKU/giphy.gif

Next pick a champion you have no experience with and is not normally played in the support role, such as Zed or Garen. If your team call you out on your champion pick a simple explanation should help calm them. https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/enhanced/webdr02/2013/7/10/16/anigif_enhanced-buzz-29439-1373488256-23.gif

If they continue to needlessly complain about your epic champion pick simply make your stance and hold your ground. https://m.popkey.co/4586d4/oAVL8_s-200x150.gif

Make sure to select a cool skin for your champion. Because having a skin means you are awesome and totally skilled and will carry everyone to victory! https://68.media.tumblr.com/2eb47e73f090c07438743c9f46ac029b/tumblr_odiffrWbNe1r8dxfio1_400.gif

Should your team continue their outrageous protests against your clearly brilliant decision, asking them to please keep their toxic chat to themselves is always a good idea! https://m.popkey.co/138adb/MMAez.gif

Continue by playing the game as you normally would, making sure to say hi to the jungler in /all chat so that the opposing laners know he's there and can say hi as well! https://68.media.tumblr.com/48475d63ceaaf253d0bea4ebb61ebe82/tumblr_ong79iRjJo1s7xfipo1_500.gif

If you find you are ever about to die, find safety behind your ADC and let them take the brunt of the damage! https://i.makeagif.com/media/11-05-2015/vSeEjl.gif

And whenever you see a low health enemy make sure to deal the killing blow so your ADC doesn't have strain themselves with such tedious tasks such as gaining kills. https://68.media.tumblr.com/5e3d384c4f9daae1d3e1adf474f84586/tumblr_obltnlSJZk1s3mlhro1_500.gif

They may seem upset and threaten to report you for doing such a fantastic job such as you are, but they are actually secretly congratulating you so that the other team members don't know they are thanking you. In which case you should reply in secret to them as well, making it seem like you are threatening to report for toxic behavior. https://media.giphy.com/media/dE52xUMPXdOyk/giphy.gif

Should any of your team mates attempt to tell you how you should play and who to target, kindly respond to them, https://68.media.tumblr.com/a201d6ec0c07565e1fa300302005b492/tumblr_nnd0tklNqe1toklkso1_500.gif

Of course despite how awesome you are as a support your team will inevitably lose. But that's okay! Because you know that you are not in any way, shape, or form, at fault for the loss of the match so you get to walk away with your head held high! http://data.whicdn.com/images/43717720/large.gif

Now go ahead and buy yourself a better looking skin for the next match you will support in! https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1417478094ra/12392097.gif

Soon enough you will be rising up the ranks on your way out of bronze and up to challenger where you belong! http://i.imgur.com/BQ84jfj.gif

And now you know how to be an awesome support! Now go get 'em! http://i.imgur.com/aiiR262.gif
