Alright guys, I've been playing this game for about three years now and became a Thresh main late last season. I started off bronze one at the beginning of this year and slowly drug my way up to middle silver. I did this solely as a support main. Recently I've been having a lot of trouble with something I like to call ELO Hell. Whether or not you believe in this term, there is something you have to understand. I do not consider myself a good player, I do not consider myself a good support, however, I feel that I lose games too often due to the skill of the other roles on my team. The truth is (as obvious as this may be, I'm going to say it anyways) supports can not carry in silver. I've been denying this fact as long as I can (approximately 246 Thresh games) and I'm honestly ready to give up on my role. I figured before I do anything too hasty I'd ask you guys and hopefully get some constructive criticism and a little bit of knowledge of what to do next. P.S. If you have anything to tell me that you don't want on the boards go ahead and add me in game.

I always suggest to master a couple champions for each role, so you're not screwed when you don't get your main. However if you do get to play it there's no reason not to. You might consider finding an ADC that complements your style to duo queue with.

I know exactly what you mean...have been through it myself. You can get through silver as a support. I guess you can say I am living proof and I am sure there are many more. The goal is to keep aware of the map and at all times to help your team as a whole. Constantly, ping when you see the jungle, people leave lane, and objectives for the team to rotate too. The current meta has been great for supports. The game has been pushed toward more team-fights so support roles are important. If you don't have 3 green and 1 pink ward on the map at all times, then you are letting your team down. Don't get discouraged and keep fighting. Remember: you are a support for the whole team. You are perfectly capable of roaming to help get a kill on mid especially as Thresh. SUPPORT NATION!Thresh
