Support Main, looking to improve.
Asked by Orange NA on July 13, 2017
So I am a support main. I don't know what to do when my ad is lacking skill. I hit most of my skill shots, but if my adc goes negative on the scoreboard I am the one that gets blamed. Give me all the tips you have
Here are my tips:
Hope that helps!
About #3, I think Thresh in particular is pretty good in SoloQ because of his Q (which can make or break a game potentially in temafights) and W (which can save allies if they do something stupid) but I'd recommend looking into utility supports like Janna, Lulu and Nami since I think they're the strongest for carrying lanes and games.
I agree strongly with PsiGuard. I carried myself out of Bronze and Silver with
I think, when you Q up by yourself, regardless of flex or solo/duo, people inadvertently look to you as the shot-caller. Every lane is very consumed with their 1v1 or farming, that they get tunnel vision. Ping, and get good with your Alt+Click on enemies Summs to let teammates know what's going on.
Let's say
Another big thing for me, is to try and find an ADC you have good synergy with. There's essentially two types. Aggressive and passive ADCs. Learn how to play with either. Passive will expect you to do all the leg work, set them so they can run a quick combo and get a kill without much effort - and if you're in trouble, they'll leave you to die.
Aggressive ADCs will basically do what they can to continuously poke down enemies, assume you're useless, and always try and get the kill. These are my personal favorite. They are also a great learning experience.
If you have an aggressive ADC, you can really learn when and when not to sacrifice yourself for the ADC to get kills.
