Non-Conventional Supports

[quote=Hatted][quote=Blian][[Rengar]] support is just OP o.O[/quote] How even? I've seen it once or twice, neither of which became a problem, to my recollection. I guess it's like having a bush Leona/Blitz/Thresh where you have ultimate dominion over the brush, but other than that he's easy to poke and needs to get very close range, while being moderately squishy, to peel. Seems like it'd be fun with nid tho.[/quote]

[quote=Blian]Well, first things first you better ban [[Morgana]] and/or [[Leona]] but the trick lays in your ADC. If he/she can freeze the lane your chance for a double at lvl3 is very high. With enpowered Q from the bush you leave them 0 chance to survive or not to burst their summs. Obviously it is a troll pick and you shouldn't be using it gold and above but give it a try in normal or in low elo and you'll see. Do not start to build a tank (relic shield) support just follow how you should build your top [[Rengar]]. Furthermore as soon as you hit lvl6 you can even go and help your mid so your jungle can carry on with his/her stuff. [[Nidalee]] support is quite alright and actually I love playing her as a support however in late game you won't be able to help much so you better push hard and end it around the 30-33 mins mark. Now I'm thinking about [[Hecarim]].. He should be fun too :)[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Hecarim needs waay to much gold. You would need to completly snowball your lane in similar fashion how with Poppy in order to be anything relevant.[/quote]

[quote=njdfan]I want to try lissandra, she has good CC with er Q and W, not sure how good she would be at it though.[/quote]

[quote=TheRealCefor]Surprised LaBlanc isn't on the poll. I see her often in kill lanes, most of the time they do damn good.[/quote]

[quote=Blian][quote=NicknameMy]Hecarim needs waay to much gold. You would need to completly snowball your lane in similar fashion how with Poppy in order to be anything relevant.[/quote] you were absolutely right! I've had many successful game with a [[Poppy]] support but with [[Hecarim]] that is pretty difficult so I've given up but I had to look for another non-meta support and I'd had already tried AD [[Malzahar]] in the jungle and now also as a support and works like a charm.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=njdfan]I want to try lissandra, she has good CC with er Q and W, not sure how good she would be at it though.[/quote]the range on her Q is too short and she really needs gold to be effective.[/quote]

I say supports because you play them on bot lane, but you should build them full ap only with sightstone, that's perfect way to get free wins. The thing is, even if you are fed as support and have good items, you will get underestimated and get many free kills by naive junglers, midlaners or toplaners.[/quote]

[quote=Blian]it is getting out of control and I can't help it. I just had no patience to wait for a full team as a top laner [[Mordekaiser]] so I went as a support and asked my ADC to let me take the kills when I can kill their ADC and seriously we had a blast :D[/quote]
