I've mained support since beta. Diamond 1 on two accounts right now, trying to get Masters. I figured I'd try and help out people if they need some help with bot lane and have any questions =D
Deep Terror Nami1 votesI'm a G2 (in G1 promos yay) Nami so I suppose I could stop by and see if I can learn anything to help improve and keep climbing.
Mandie Moore1 votesOften times when I play support, despite warding and keeping my ADC safe and other support things, it feels my impact drastically decreases as enemies become stronger. Not to put all the blame on my team, but what can I do to have more of an impact in my games?

It depends almost entirely on the support champion you choose. I personally play A LOT of janna and she has one of the lowest impacts on the game. Supports such as thresh, blitz, and bard are really effective at roaming and helping other lanes out. When/if you do this, however, it will possibly leave your adc in a 1v2. So you either have to let them know you plan on roaming, or pay attention to how they play. It also depends on what champion the adc is playing. Some adcs like kogmaw can be pretty vulnerable in a 1v2 whereas someone like ezreal can be pretty safe if they're by themselves.
Mandie Moore1 votesThanks! I play a lot of Janna and Nami. I suppose I could get more into roaming supports. Thank you for the advice :)

runandscream1 votesQuick question for you. When do you know when to start helping other lanes as a duo? I main Sona and Leona at the moment...mainly because I'm not a good player...:)

Hey, sorry for the late response. Normally the first time supports will roam to mid or top is when you and your adc go back for the first time. This gives you about enough time to try for a gank in another lane. Generally aside from this, when the wave is pushing up to your tower you can also try to roam. This is probably best done in the earlier levels because a tower dive is less likely. If you're going to do this, however, you're going to have to have good ward coverage in case they do, in fact, get dove.
