Hey guys,
Got another guide here for all of the new players, and any players who may not be too familiar with the support role. Hope you enjoy, the video is going to cover how to play ach support lane type, and how to beat them as well.
You should indeed ward more than 12 per game. My last game had me buy a total of 37 wards. Everywhere my ADC went we had complete vision of. Saved our keesters plenty of times and was crucial to us winning that game. My average over the last 5 games is approximately 25 wards per game. And about 5 enemy wards swept away per game. Your knowledge of the support styles is great but there really is no excuse why you shouldn't be buying a sight stone. I always beat those players who put off their sight stones.
Yeah I'll bite.
I see 3 Sona games in your 20-game match history and on none of them do you have sightstone. Why you hate free wards D:
Upvoted without even watching the video. This is important to know. I just hope you realize that every support has 2 styles, a primary and a secondary. For instance Taric is a sustain/kill support. Q gives him healing and W gives damage mitigation which plays into the sustain methodology. E W and R grant him kill power what with his point and click stun, his armor shred and his all-around steroid booster ultimate. Taric's only form of "poke" is his stun which does less damage at longer ranges. So Taric is an upclose and personal fighter who has a functional amount of sustain. He still needs buffs though.
Sona, the main champion in the beginning of your video is a poke/sustain laner. She excels at poking with her Q + passive burst damage. Even though she is a support she can out trade anyone with the sheer amount of damage in her combo. And if the enemy pokes back she can heal it all back with her W. E is best used as a peel ability. Speed up herself and her allies and then auto and peel away the pursuer with an auto attack. Her ultimate is an AOE stun which again works best at peeling or followed up with burst damage. Despite her raw power Sona is not a kill laner because she is horrendous at DPS output. Once her Q and R are on cooldown she only has her auto attacks to kill someone which is extremely unreliable. And she sucks against anything with a gap closer.
Nami is a poke/sustain champion. Soraka is actually a better example of sustain. Or Janna. Or Bard. Sustain is their primary style. Bard, Soraka and Janna are sustain/poke laners. And Alistar and Taric are your sustain/kill laners.
Leona is indeed the best example of a kill laner. Leona's secondary style is poke thanks to her passive. Other kill laners are Blitzcrank, Thresh, Annie, Zyra and Nautilus.
Poke lane are weak against kill lane. With item like targon brace and relic shield they have free sustain for their adc.
