Playing As Support

In my opinion, many people think that support is a role to support your adc. This is partly right but missing something. Playing as a support isn’t easy at all. It isn’t just about getting op and play by your own. It is really important!!!!
Here are some basics a support should know: (Doesn’t mean 100% right, from my experience only)

Not taking CS from your adc

Not taking KILL from your adc

Feed your adc well

Be aware of GANK

Mindful of the map

Take control of the bush

Don’t die for yourself, but die for your adc

Then, here are some higher level skills you need to play as a support: (Same Here)

Sneaking

Support has to be able to risk his life to feed his adc, and to stay alive. Knowing how to sneak is really important because it gives you an advantage of controlling a lane.

Distracting

Support has to be able to be really ANNOYING and keep distracting enemy adc from farming. Of course, support has to be aware of the enemy jungle while distracting enemy adc at a same time.

Warding

I play many games as an adc. My support is doing a good job at stunning, slowing, or distracting the enemy adc. There are several time I grab on the right timing and kill the enemy adc. However, I think my support can do better. Warding is important for both jg and support. It gives a team the vision of the whole map if you know how to ward. Support shouldn’t just build his own items, but should also buy wards for the whole team.

My Case:

When I play jg, I brought a lot of wards and warded almost the whole enemy forest. Enemy jg was so sad and keep dying because our team has a vision of him. In addition, I stole his red and blue buff in the early game, and a dragon in the middle game. Do you know how sad is the enemy jg to keep dying and not being able to farm? This is the power of warding. Even though I am not an OP jg that game, I helped the team instead of having myself DOMINATING.

Thanks for reading my blog. Have a nice day!
