12 and 1 GP Support

Clarification : 12W - 1L Hitting someone for half health in early games does something to your opponents psyche... especially when it comes from the support.

So, I don't see GP as support all that much but I know it is nothing new. Just wanted to share the good luck I have been having.

Masteries: 21-9-0

**Runes: ** 18%crit damage, 12%crit chance crit chance marks and seals crit damage quints and glyphs

Start 2x Rush ex build

   -Q poke is your main goal as well as scouting the map to help out other lanes with your ult. The example build allows you to move around the map with over 500ms without activating your E. ![item 3158](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/item/3158.png) may be tempting but in those moments before a fight fully starts, you take your 500+ms and pop a Q or two off in total safety because no one can move fast enough to respond.

I doubled my ADC's damage in the one game I lost...

GP support isn't really a new thing, but it has several drawbacks.

No CC to peel. Keep in mind as a support your job is to protect your ADC and get them kills. If you're 12-1, you're not doing one or both of those. Supports are the unsung heroes of bot lane. But they don't take kills.
He lacks sustain for his ADC. With many people playing some sort of sustain, you should at the VERY least, go Targon's brace to help your ADC.
He does have a MS boost to escape, but it's a weak one if you're pushed all the way to their tower, it's still probably death to a 3 man gank, and nearly assured if they 4 man gank you. And a free Dragon (which is a HUGE deal with the new dragon).

On the other hand, he has safe poke, and huge damage early, both true statements. Except since you're not building mana regen, Sona/Nami will out heal your poke pretty quickly.

In fact, if you want to get even better advice than I can provide, I have a pair of Diamond friends that I mod for. They do free coaching.

Wouldn't relic shield be better than coin? Pretty sure that Q would proc the execute since it counts as a melee attack for hydra, and you'd get the additional gold for Q then.

Ignite is probably better than exhaust when doing a gimmicky support, since people won't measure damage as well on something they're unfamiliar with. You'll get more surprise kills that way.

What summoner spells do you take?

I played with a support GP once, he did summoner 6 summoner 12 and just split pushed in the mid game.

i fail to see how gp support helps your adc? you want them to get all the kills and do the damage :/ it seems gp sup is counter intuitive to this.

Yeah I'm curious why you would go with coin over relic shield - relic shield generally yields more gold and it has tanky stats
