Looking for support coach

I am looking for someone to coach one of my games, probably a support game as that is my main. How ever if you would like to coach any other role I will happily accept. Right now my main role is Support, while I don't have a main champ I like to play tanky champs like Braum or TahmKench . Note: I don't own Braum. I am currently climbing up from Bronze 4 how ever I was in Silver 4 at the end of last season.

I can coach you, just not tonight. I main Thresh , Bard , and Nami , but I can play all very well. I'm mid plat right now, high plat last season.

One of the things to remember as braum is your wave clear is crap, so your options are sunfire cap or a ZZrot portal for split pushing

As a support you should always have a method to aid in a split push

ZZ rot is usually the better option but if you find yourself constantly stopping now giant minion waves because your team is ignoring them go sunfire

In lower Elo I would get both, knowing how to split push as a support gives you a much higher chance of success because you rely less on your allies for it

As an example I was support poppy once and my team was losing badly every fight, I got a ZZ rot portal (didn't need sunfire because poppy has aoe, just like tahm won't need a sunfire, braum would though) and I would set minions up to split push then drop the ZZrot where it would reach there tower and returned to my team for the team fight

This took out 4 towers for my team, unfortunately our adc played like he was a front line tank and the rest of my team wasn't much better, resulting in our loss.

But an important thing to keep in mind as a support is minion control, that doesn't always mean killing all thier minions, leave 2-3 to make your minion wave grow and force them to stop it or lose a tower

If they go to stop it it will be a 5v4 in your favor if they don't you get a tower

There are obviously other things to do as a support, but that's one way to carry the game as a support, but some are better at it and at times it's better to just group

I probably wouldn't main split push strategies in lower elo. Even in plat, people still engage 4v5 and blame the split pusher for not being with the team. Team fight centric champions are very good, people with lots of engage that is really easy to turn games. Wukong, Malphite, Bard are all really good at that, though Bard is really hard to play. Add me in game, I'm PST and im usually available in the afternoons or anytime during the weekends. If you have baronreplays you can send me a replay of your game and I can dub my voice over it with advice.
