Awesome information, but the guide is lacking in visual appeal... I up-voted. This needs to reach the front or second page of the general guides list! But to get there you will need more visual stuff, PM me if you want suggestions / help, I can do some stuff to help at least and will gladly share my stash of tricks I picked up from people ^_^

Lol I think my work has also been said.

1. Lern2Micromanage
2. Tell carry to Lern2Micromanage
3. Silence deals damage = poked down Taric = eventually dead Taric

Also, walls of text, lack of images, fix that.

So a 700 unit range poke is comparable to a 700 unit Zenith Blade and 1000 unit Rocket Grab in terms of trading... And you're talking about the enemy trying to juke... You do know what a kill lane does, right?

You know how ADCs that usually don't play without Soraka don't go OOM? Here's a tip: Soraka's Infuse isn't used primarily to give mana.

Indeed, there isn't really enough for this to be considered a complete support overview, not to mention there are mistakes everywhere, particularly in the 'unorthodoxed supports' section.

Orianna, Lux, Karma, Kayle and Zilean are not unorthodoxed. Pantheon is not a support, end of. No, he is not a kill-lane support. When Pantheon is played bot-lane, he is still not classified as support, but AD assassin. Annie is a **** support due to her unreliable stun.

I'm too lazy to even get started on your items...

And the classic HolyHellWallsOfText problem.

What are you talking about? Her range on her Q is fine. It locks on, so even if they move back they can't juke it if its already mid air.
If Soraka waste uses her silence every time Taric walks up, then her Carry will run OOM, in that case she will need to give him mana, and then you can go in. Hell, you can go in after the silence wears off, her silence has a cool down after all.

Nobody would know you're bad if you didn't say it.



Soraka's silence outranges Taric's stun.

I did state he was an unorthadox support. I did not put any word on his viability. Lulu beats Leona because she is poke, and Leona is initiate, as stated. I personally believe Sona beats Leona. It's just a matter of not getting hit by her Zenith blade, the match up is the same against blitz. I've never had a problem against Blitz/Leona as Sona, her range is fine, she has some of the highest range poke for a Support.

I don't see how Soraka would counter Taric.
Maybe the nerfed Taric isnt as good and gets outscaled now, but that has nothing to do with the Triangle; that's simply the character getting nerfed.
It's really a matter of making a play at level 2. IF you do that on Taric/EZ, Taric/ Trist/ Taric/Graves you'll basically ensure first blood.

-1 because not detailed enough for a comprehensive guide. A few mistakes here and there. Galio is unviable as a support despite having the support tag. Lulu hard counters Leona but Leona beats Sona. Triangle of power has its exceptions. Sona is a poke support but she generally struggles against kill lane supports cuz of her lack of range. Soraka counters Taric.

Great guide, but the walls of text are a bit unappealing

Thank you for the positive feedback, I'll be working on converting it to be more visually appealing for Mobafire!

Agree 100% with Dragon, good concept yet walls of text and no BB coding. Honestly only skimmed over it but an easy way to start BB coding is just to put the double brackets, these things ---> [ ] <---- (i have to say it some people don't know what brackets are lol) around item names and use the simple bullet feature above ^ to organize your lists. Use colored text, but don't overdo it.

If you fix the coding I'll give it a good read through but as of now it's quite a daunting task. Good luck to you, and +1 purely because I like the fact that you made this.

Edit: Turn on comment to vote! Keep out the trolls :P

Thank you! I'm considering working on it more and adding pictures and what not. The length of the guide makes it difficult/ it will take a lot of time, and right now im a little swamped.
