I Need Help Getting Better at League

Kinky Taric·Oct 22, 2016·2 votes·366 views

Hello Summoners! As a support main, I just reached Gold (started from Bronze 2, in exactly 150 games). I am happy with this, but I still want to improve. I often compare my statistics to that of high elo players (Master, Challenger) and I do certain things really well (or even better than masters) and I still want to improve on my weaker points.

Is there a site that can give me in-depth information about everything that I did well and didn't do well in a game? I find it slightly dull to check OP.gg on how many wards I placed in a game. I have been coached before and am going to be coached soon again, but are there any sites that can help me get better?

Anyways, have a wonderful day everybody! [slayer-jinx-wink]

I'm far from the best but I do enjoy watching videos of challenger and master players on youtube doing guides on roles or champions...has helped me before in past roles I've mained. But not to highjack your post too much but any easy pointers for someone wanting to be a support main, I'd appreciate any tips, just learning the role myself :)

It's great you want to main support! But first explain to me why, and what makes you think you can be a good support? Warding is important, know good sports to place wards and consisently place wards. Roam to other lanes such as mid or top, if your adc is doing fine. Know how to turn situations around by making plays (yesterday i flash 3 man taric stunned their team, our team killed them because of that)

If you're just getting started, don't go for Thresh or Bard. Those are difficult, try play Blitzcrank, Sona and Soraka and figure out what your playstyle is. example: I'm very good at tank supports that can cc and make plays (Thresh Leona), but i also enjoy supports with shields and heals (taric, Karma, janna) but I also dominate with aggressive supports (zyra, brand)

Figure out which champions you do best with and keep playing with those, also know how to play aggressive and passive, based on champion and adc playstyle. I didn't explain it in-depth but if you're EUW I can play with you and help you :D And remember, as support, the ADC is YOUR BITCH, not the other way around :^)

GOOD LUCK! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

As for why I want to, I have always enjoyed the role but never really dedicated the time to learning, also I do enjoy being the one keeping the team safe and though I've played many carry supports (when I've had to play support before), never really cared about the kills. For top and jungle, I'd generally go tanky Champs with CC. As for what makes me think I'll be a good support? I'm willing to put the time and dedication into learning the role and improving.

Just been staying with normals and been playing mostly Janna or Taric (generally Taric if I'm first pick)...and Lux (just most familiar AP champ) if team has no AP just to learn the ins and outs of the champs. Definitely not the greatest with Janna....I don't wanna switch off of her cause I enjoy her but if I don't seem to improve I'll have to chose someone else. I know I have a lot to learn though.

Sadly not in EUW but thank you so much for your offer!! Wish I was! Haha yes I'll remember that.
