Hello! Actioner here. I'm here to teach you the fundamentals for the Support role. I will surely try my best. So I've been playing League of Legends since late Season 3. I've been always a Main Support and I'm more than happy to share this passion and knowledge with you. I'm currently a high Master player with highest ever reached: Challenger Top 40(EUNE) and Master(EUW). I don't main a specific champion on Support, I can play 20+ support champs, so I always adapt to meta and what works best for me during that time. My secondary role is Mid-lane with a pretty small champion pool.

Feel free to join Action Squad and follow my journey!

Extremely fun to play champion, Smolder can provide all the damage a team needs on its own but only if the game reaches to super late game. Farm and don't take risks and you will be a beast later on!

PROS + Extremely Strong Late game + Good Mobility + Reposition Ability + AOE Damage

CONS - Very Squishy - Weak Early - Needs Gold & Stacks

Doran ring This is your starting item that will provide you a solid laning phase. Make sure you pick your 2x pots.

Essence Reaver This is must buy item. Skip the boots and try to pick this before.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity Best option for boots on Smolder.

Spear of Shojin Your next solid damage item after Essence is Spear of Shojin providing some health stats and most importantly ability haste for your non ultimate abilities.

Rapid Firecannon This shall be your 4 item option! Apart from damage stats this will give you some move speed percentage and range to follow up easier on fights from a safe distance.

Bloodthirster Following up with this item combined with Rapid Firecanoon can provide you not only safe distance damage but a some life steal and a shield if you get in trouble.

Immortal Shieldbow This is just another survivability item that will provide you another shield in critical levels.

At this phase, concentrate primarily on two tasks: efficient farming and effectively accumulating your passive stacks. Your main goal should revolve around these activities, as there's little else of higher priority. Make strategic use of your Q to gather stacks, and occasionally, deploy your W to harass your opponent, securing more stacks in the process. Reserve your E for crucial moments, either to retreat safely or to pursue a potential kill. With your E on cooldown, adopting a cautious approach is imperative; your current state is relatively vulnerable. Without a significant advantage or assistance from your jungler, focus on farming. Reaching 25 stacks transforms your Q into an AOE ability, allowing you to hit multiple backline targets for efficient stacking.




Prioritize capturing your tower early, then transition to mid-lane to begin sieging and participating in skirmishes. Despite the shift in game phase, continue emphasizing stack farming. Entering the late-game team fights with at least 225 stacks equips you with a formidable presence, akin to having a permanent Elder buff. Assume the role of a hyper-carry, skillfully weaving auto-attacks with your abilities, unleashing devastating AOE damage that can decimate opposing teams.
