im a bronze 5 sup main and i know that sounds crazy but last season i was silver 3 but tried to adc this season with my placements and didnt do to well i was wondering if anyone had any tips so i could climb the ladder i believe im a good sup but i get a adc who doesnt know what to do or how to last hit and i lose lane and eventually the game please help.
Don't expect to climb out easily with support in any elo. I recommend you keep practicing ADC.
if you are good you will climb, for support my advice would be play full ap annie, taric and leona. all very strong at the lower elo's because most plays dont see anything coming and stuns are really strong against nubz
Duo with an ADC you know you work well with.
Support is one of the harder roles to carry on but its not impossible. The two types of supports you should play in low elo are Poke or Engage, these types of champs are the easiest to carry on because they can function even with a weaker adc.
Poke- Generally these champions offer a lot of lane pressure through constantly chipping away at the opponents health. However they are also usually very squishy so positioning is very important. Champions like Sona, Zyra, and Karma are the standard when it comes to poke support champions. The reason why they are very strong in low elo is because players lack the ability to dodge poke and will often over extend or stay in lane too long and die. With these champs it is best to pressure hard and build some early health to survive an all in. After this you can transition to damage and truly carry your team through constantly poking.
Engage- These champions are usually built as tanks with hard cc and abilities to absorb a lot of damage. They are very strong at all in's due to their ability to lock down an opponent for a long amount of time. Examples would Leona, Braum, and Nautilus. If any of these champions can get on top of an enemy carry they can CC them as your team deals the damage. These champions are very strong at snowballing as they increasingly get tanky and are able to engage constantly to pressure and bully out opponents.
Other champions that can carry but are harder to play would be Annie, a squishy burst mage , and Thresh a high skill shot dependent engage champion.
It's good to play aggressive supports - one that can make plays. I recently picked up Nautilus and it has gotten me from gold to plat. I seem to like the tankier supports like Nautilus, Leona, Alistar, Thresh, etc.
