Transitioning from a Support main

BattleBossSoraka·1/2/2017, 10:59:57 PM·1 votes·560 views

I am a support main, and generally do very well. Support champions I play most would be Soraka, Sona, Karma, Janna, Lulu, Nami, and I recently picked up Zilean, who is pretty fun to play. However, I've recently come back from being away from the game for well over a year, and the support role has started to become quite boring to me. I've found that I enjoy playing ADC, Mid lane, and Jungle, but I am absolutely terrible at these roles as I have no experience in them. I've tried practicing in bot games (way too easy) so I moved on to normals, but all that happens is I get flamed and berated for being bad, and there's really no chance for me to improve. My mechanical skills and positioning definitely leave something to be desired, but I've become to scared to play any games where I try a role other than support, unless I'm playing with friends, and even in those the other randoms on the team usually flame me. I can't even count how many times I've been called trash or told to refund a skin.

This post become longer than I meant it to and is rather unorganised, so I apologise for that, but I wasn't quote sure how to ask this so please excuse my rambling.

Add me. I'll teach you some stuff I learned from my own experience and some diamond players who taught me some things. I'm in top 17% of players, main jg, and I'll teach you for free.

I used to be a support only player for over a year. I stopped maining mainly support when Taliyah came out. Ever since Taliyah came out, I almost only played mid (Taliyah). Just search one or a few champs that you really like and play them over and over again. In normal games at the begin and in rankeds if you feel good enough. As a former support main, it took me a while to get into midlane. It was hard at first, learning what I have to do in a game and learning about my positioning etc. It is a hard journey, but it's fun and it will pay off. Don't mind the flamers. Everyone starts somewhere, the flamers have too and most flamers are even worse than you. They just want to drag you down, because they can't deal with how bad they are.
