Hello there its your boy M00SE, I would like to thank you for taking time to read my post... Before I get into what this is about, let me tell you a little bit about myself and LOL history.

I started playing this game at the end of Season 2, ADC being my main role. S3 I finished around 1900 elo with the following season reaching a long prospered goal of mine... Diamond 1. Unfortunately "Life Happened" at the peak of my League career and was forced to quit for most of Season 5. I am now back Season 6 with a refreshed self-improvement mindset taking on the role of support.

I have quite a vast knowledge of how bot lane works as that is all I have played since the beginning. Currently I am D4 and plan to achieve Master by the end of this season.

I am looking to take on an "apprentice" support player.

What you can expect from me _-Constructive criticism -Macro gameplay -Going into each game with a new goal in mind -Lane matchups -Champion tricks/tips -Lane Mechanics -Self-Improvement mindset -How to trade efficiently -Elo gains etc..... _ What I expect from you

-Open minded -The drive to improve -Your time -Ability to take criticism

Only taking 1 person at the moment because this is new to me as well and am looking to get my feet wet. As I improve my systems I will be taking on more players.

If you are a** support player and this sounds like something you would be interested in................. _please write a couple sentences/a paragraph explaining why you should be giving the opportunity **_ Cheers, M00SE

Hi M00SE, I am a support main currently floating between Bronze I and II after placements and am looking to improve myself in order to not only climb higher, but learn new strategies and matchups. I currently main, and feel more at ease with support mages (Janna Nami Morgana ) but have been slowly expanding with others (Alistar Braum Thresh Nautilus Soraka ) with mixed outcome.

I am open minded and looking to get better, and am always open to critiquing as long as it is not in a demeaning way. Available pretty often these days as well so quite some time to practice should you choose me.

Might as well throw my hat into the ring, I haven't been playing as much support lately since I'd been trying to branch out, but it was my main role ever since I started playing back in season 3 up until late season 5 when I swapped to top lane, originally I was playing Soraka but picked up Sona a bit before hitting level 30, played her almost exclusively for the longest time, ended up swapping to solo lanes because it got pretty frustrating at times when I'd get an ADC that didn't know how to trade or thought they could all in the enemy at the worst times, but I always seem to gravitate back to support.

My laning is in a pretty good spot right now but I tend to tunnel too much and my decision making is not that great, I tend to throw games where I have a lead by taking bad fights or not communicating as well as I should.

Hello Mr/Mrs Moose,

My name is Jeremy (Holygoober IGN), and I was hoping to additionally inquire into your post about the support position. I have been dabbling into the support role since season 3 and took it a lot more serious with several teams within the past year. However, I am looking to improve overall and earn the right to experience higher level play through hard work and dedication. I love to learn which is why I am in school again. I have a pretty fair knowledge of the playstyle of the more common supports, however like every role there is so much to learn and understand all the time. Every game is different. However I do offer as you said open-mindedness and the drive to become better. I am at a crossroads as to what I should do with my "gaming" career as I grow older (25 and going).

The supports I feel more comfortable on: Braum Thresh Trundle Champions I have had minor success on: Morgana Alistar Janna Champions need worked on: Bard Blitzcrank Leona Soraka TahmKench

I myself as a player, I am more cautious most of the time until the pace for the game is set at some point. I know I have weaknesses and am looking to be helped with them and grow as a player and an individual. The highest on the ranked ladder I have personally achieved is Gold 5 (100 LP) promos into Gold 4. I would like to surpass this benchmark mainly as a support player and learn to potentially carry from this role.

My availability is as follows in EST (99% sure): Sunday Monday Tuesday - No due to work Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday - No due to work

I work 16 hour shifts Tuesday / Saturday and am completely unavailable those days. The third day of my work week is completely up to the supervisor that does the scheduling and am unsure of that from week to week. As I mentioned briefly above, I am in the Eastern US Timezone.

Let me know what you think, please. Thank you for your time.

Jeremy (Holygoober)

Hey there Moose, I'v been a support main since season 1. (Made it to gold 1 last season purely off support) Currently struggling in silver 3.

Been trying to branch out recently into other roles (DQ and the new meta have kinda turned me off of support) as i'm finding it harder and harder to support my way to victory with each patch. Maybe it's me, I don't know but i'd love to hear your thoughts on my gameplay.

Support i play Brand Lux Morgana Pantheon (believe it or not i have great success with this one against things like blitz) Nami Leona

I'd love to be able to learn some of the other tanks, Ali, Braum

I have a MASSIVE amount of time to put into this game, Available damn near any hours

Hi,

I've been playing league since the very end of season 3. And was only bronze. Season 4 I got to gold 5 while maiming top. Season 5 I got to plat 5 a month into the season as support but had to quit league for a while. Came back after worlds and have gotten sort of back into a groove. But I'm struggling on learning from my mistakes and being able to tell when to stear clear of fights. I have a duo who is dead even with me at gold 2 and we are working on our synergy.

I main Soraka, Janna, Braum, Thresh, and the occasional Lulu.

Ive got winning lane/maintaining lane down. But its the transition of getting our team caught up, or us just snowballing every lane where we struggle. I feel confident on my Soraka and Janna. Thresh I've lost confidence at the beginning of the season. Where I did struggle to bring my mechanics back up. But I'm at the point where I believe some kind of help would just change my gameplay. Add me ign if you are interested.

Thanks for your time

Hey, I've mained support since season 4 and I'm currently climbing the ladder right now at plat 4. I'm very versatile in my picks and I'm willing to go any support even if its out of the meta. I try to make note of at least a couple mistakes per game in a note pad of what I've done wrong. Don't you hate it when people say "oh supports cant carry" I proved them wrong time and time again peeling for the adc or making a sick hook that seemed impossible, but yet the people keep saying that supports are just there to ward. I want them to think of support as one of the most important roles in the game.. I want to prove them wrong. Willingness to see my flaws is something people say I do too much. I have 0 deaths in a game and yet i still somehow find mistakes that were caused by my own hands. All I need is that little push that little bit of extra help that's gonna drive me to become something amazing and I'm sure you can ASSIST me with that. Oh also support jokes are hard to make ;/. Time wise I'll be able to play at least one game a day and Saturdays and Sundays probably the whole day meaning 12 hours. Im gonna get a little personal here. I play volleyball and I play that sport very competatively in highschool and put time and effort in it everyday for my school team. And that drive to improve that drive to get my hit a little more well played and to jump just a little higher is the same drive as I have for playing support. It's like a passion proving people wrong saying that I'm not gonna carry cause I'm support. I want to learn more. Also I'm 16 if thats ok.

Hi, my name is Kadie and I've been a support main since S4-ish and i main Sona, Janna, and kinda main lulu, thresh, and Leona. i'm always looking for ways to improve in my role and i think this would be a great opportunity for me to do so, and u seem like a cool guy so why not try to apply even if i don't get it lol. I would like to learn to play more tank-ish supports, and widen my pool of champs that i can play but still win as. thank your for your time and consideration and I understand if i'm not picked, bai <3
