Report
Hey guys, so I figured that maybe I would be able to climb the ELO ladder a little easier if I write about each game after I play. But first a bit about me.
In Season 2 I did not play very well winning 4 out of 14 games. Although I did do a lot of mixed things in that season.
In the 3rd season I have already started playing and I am on my 5th game and I'm playing a lot better than before, or maybe my teammates have been better. I'm not sure. But here are my first five games.
I am going to be focusing on support as I believe that is my best role. If someone takes it before me then I suppose I will go with top.
1st game:
Taric - 0/7/13
Items: Philospher's Stone, Boots of Mobility, Heart of Gold, Zeke's Herald
I pretty much always start wit PS and HoG. If I can afford boots and not afford the ruby crystal (so between 350 and 450 gold) then I will take the boots before HoG). Aside from that I got Zeke's to help my ADC get some damage and life steal. 7 deaths, I don't think is very good but it resulted in 13 assists.
2nd game:
Nunu - 2/5/5
Items: Philospher's Stone, Heart of Gold, Chain Vest, Boots of Mobility, Negatron Cloak.
In this game I think we were generally not doing well and Nunu is by far my worst support. I can't remember who I was up against in this game either. In future posts I will be posting directly after the game so I will be able to tell you more details for everything.
3rd game:
Sona - 0/1/10
Items: Philosopher's Stone, Heart of Gold, Negatron Cloak, Ninja Tabi.
This was a shorter game, I earned a total of 4591 gold. Obviously I started with PS, then HoG. If I remember correctly our Mid lane was doing very poorly so I got an earlier Negatron cloak before boots which helped roam. I got the Ninja tabi instead of a Chain Vest to help give me some armor and speed. Not as fast as the Boots of Mobility but it gave me some armor to survive and speed on a budget.
4th game:
Sona - 4/4/18
Items: Philosopher's Stone, Heart of Gold, Boots of Mobility, Frozen Heart, Aegis of the Legion, Kindlegem.
This was also a fairly good game. I think that Sona is overall my best character to play. In total I earned just over 12,500 gold. Started with HoG and PS and Boots of speed. After that I got a chain vest because we we're still laning quiet late against a pretty good Eze. We ended up getting a lot of kills and assists so I got my boots of mobility then I thought I should build my chain vest into something useful. Do you think getting a Frozen Heart is a good idea as a support? I probably should have tried to grab a Cloth Armor before the chain vest to build Aegis first. Finally I got the Kindlegem because it is useful for building into two of the main items I get for late-game support, Zeke's and Shurelya's.
Main questions:
Is Nunu a viable support?
Should I get a chain vest or a cloth armor early on?
What do you do when you're up against a blitzcrank?

What do you do when you're up against a blitzcrank?
I suppose. I don't play him myself, but he does okay in certain situations. I imagine he would work in an aoe team comp. He can't sustain his carry though, so you can quite easily abuse that.
Should I get a chain vest or a cloth armor early on?

Keep brushes warded and stay behind minions. Poke where possible, especially whilst his grab is on cooldown. Again, he can't sustain his carry, so you should be able to bully him out of lane eventually. Tank supports and high mobility supports work well against him.
2) no
3) bait his grabs out. stay behind minions. never underestimate minions. just dodge his grabs
Yeah he is pretty good for peeling (guarding), and synergizes really well with Tristana and Vayne, even tho I dislike him. You don't have to neccesarily add him to your soloQ roster tbh.
Building armor?
I sometimes start with a clotharmor if I go up against corki + taric.
Other than that you could still go tabi boots into aegis. Really early chain vest is kinda over done.
Blitz?
Play him yourself, know how to **** him up.
-> Ali & Leona work quite good against him, so does support morgana -> the shield just counters him (would not play in low elo, you'll only get trolled)
... or just ban him:P
And as a general tip I'd focus on aggressive supports like Blitz, Leona, Taric, Sona etc.
and rather stay away from soraka + nunu - just my opinion tho
Yes, yes, and 3x yes. Don't bother with Philo, go HoG into Zekes/Shurelya's. Snowball slows, debuffs, high base damage, a free mini-PD, jungle advantages ( you can counter jungle, take fast dragon, etc). Some of the Korean teams dislike him because he provides very little sustain and protection if the enemy CC's their carry, and he has to put himself at a risky spot.
Chain Vest or Cloth?
Depends on lane.
Blitzcrank?
Low ELO - Ask to Ban/ban. Didn't get banned? Don't get caught, keep up wards in the lane bushes, fast HoG.
