I belong in bronze, but . . .

I very dearly want to not belong here. I'm very aware that io am a shoddy player with much to learn, and while I originally blamed it on bad ADCs//teammates(I usually sup) I figure after the 5th consecutive loss I might be trash. If you could look at my games and give me some advice or spectate me in game that would be useful as well. For now however I'm going to play normals until I get your feedback and put i t into practice.

Only advice I could give is don't play support. Otherwise we'll need some support mains up in here.

You do belong in bronze. You also play a non carry role. I realize the game is hell with dynamic que but it didnt stop me from skipping divisions constantly and stomping everyone.

If you want to really practice just have 2 main champions for the roles you play and have them be easy/learning champions. You play mid play annie/malphite. you play support play taric and soraka, you play top play malphite and garen, you play jungle play yi/malphite. you play adc uninstall jkjk play lucian/jinx/mf and work on the verrrrry basics of the game like farming,playing smart,warding, foresight, ect and work on your own play and you will 100% climb and get better.

I am by no means a pro, but listen close. Let. Me. Tell. You. Something. If you like playing support, and you feel like you are impactful in your games, PLAY BLITZCRANK. THIS CHAMPION is godlike in bronze because little people actually side step. Now if you have a hard time will skillshots, I would recommend that you play champions that are pretty braindead, like Garen or Rammus .

just push down a solo lane with a zz'rot portal while the other 9 bronze players waste time chasing kills during the 10-minute deathmatch that happens in all low elo games.

kda doesn't mean a thing if you're not getting objectives.

think of it this way you and your team in low elo is hell if you watch carefully you can see your team mates start to feed and ping for help and die and restart the process and do unforgivable stuff in bronze to say the least you have to carry the team without going on tilt if you lose 3 take a break dont play blame games or go into harassment if you do sent it to the enemy so that they may go on tilt and not you and your team?[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

I'd actually go the opposite way of the Blitzcrank guy and recommend taking a LESS specialized support, so that you can get practice with a few different mechanics at once.

Morgana's a good one: you have a line shot, a dot mechanic, an AE denial mechanic, and a countdown ult that you need to prioritize your items to use effectively. Plus, despite all that, she's easy enough to use that you'll probably to all right even before you're actually good with her. And if worse comes to worst you can use her to carry when all else fails.

If you really want to go specialist I'd also recommend Soraka over Blitz, you can damned near ignore the enemies and just focus on your team so it's the single easiest support in the game at the moment.

None of these are the "best" supports (including the ones other people recommend), but the actual best supports require an ADC that's either on the same page as you or in voice chat to pull off their really great combinations (e.g. Leona's infinite stun of doom) so it's best to get used to less friend-dependent ones first while training.
