Support Tips/Guide?
I like being straightforward. Support is honestly my weakest role and if i wanna be a fill then i kinda need to sharpen my support game.

I made this a while back and it seemed to help out a lot of people :)
I'd reccomend starting with the straightforward/"easier" ones. Thresh/shen are IMO the two champions that symbolize that, as thresh offers tons of options with each ability whereas shen is almost "unkillable" if you stay in lane and don't try to push too much.
Here's some basic DiY tips. Scrapcomputer, ImpaKt, AveunUK are a couple of Youtubers that have a lot of support guides. As far as streams go, Krepo makes in-depth commentary streams every once in a while so make sure to check that out, oh and PAlNLESS has a great interactive streams as well. You can chech Lolking to browse through active streamer list. Lolclass is useful for general info on what to build, what runes and masteries to take on supports, etc.
Play janna/nautilus/shen/leona right now they are all really easy to use and really good. They can fit any teamcomp and they are just generally really strong now.
Don't upgrade to ruby sightstone too early because 250 hp for 800 gold is horrible. Unless you're planning on rushing your support item don't upgrade it on your first back unless you only have like 500 or 600 gold and even then i like getting either ruby crystal or boots. Rushing mobis is really good imo and the best thing is to back with 1000 or more gold and get mobis a pink ward a green ward and pots then run into the enemy jungle to drop your wards around his jungle so you and your team can see him really easy. Then i like to gank mid and run back to lane fast and tbh if you do it fast you won't miss too much xp and what you gain by doing this is worth it.
Also supports get a lot of opportunities to roam like when you guys force the enemies to back, go roam. If you get a kill go roam. If your adc is fed go roam. If you guys are losing lane tell your adc to play safe and roam.
Roaming is important for a lot of supports imo because they usually have so much cc or atleast the ability to turn fights around and they also carry exhaust most of the time which is sooo goood when you gank.
Teamfighting as a support is the easiest part because most of the time all you have to do is peel for your adc better then the other support and you win the fight:).
