Stupid to main support at low ELO?

[quote=Heazle][quote=throatslasher] I disagree moon. Doesn't matter how good you are at support, if your adc can't cs, you're in a lot of trouble [/quote] I have to agree here, you can be a solid support - But if your ADC hasn't got a clue then I can't see you winning your lane. I'd advise looking for a Bot Lane partner you can trust to play well (If nothing else play safe) Then work towards your high ELO together![/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd][quote=Pølsemanden] You can carry in solo-quee just for the love of god don't pick nunu until you're at least 1500 elo. Nunu requires your ad to know how to win the lane by "himself". Pick a support that can make big plays with minimum risk, and also keep your ad safe. Snowball potential is apreciated but not necessary. [[Taric]] is the god tier of low-elo soloquee. His aura, his lane pressence and his ability to make a play without being bound to it and stuck if the ad-carry doesn't engage with you(his stun is ranged) [[Lux]] is really fucking strong as a support pick too. Her major strength is that she goes into a lane and wins it by herself, low-elo's can't comprehend her and at level 6 at equal grounds a bind which is hit is around 70% of someones health. She also has the ability to build a mejais and carry with a (almost) full ap build. [[Lulu]] this bitch has the poke of a sona and the protection of a janna she's so fucking strong throughout the game and she wins the lane by herself. [[Blitzcrank]] fail a grab? doesn't matter wait 20 secs and zone again. [[Zyra]] do you even lift? cuz this bitch does, she lifts the whole fucking enemy team. All this while doing a fuckload of damage. YES you can carry in low-elo soloquee, with above mentioned supports. Who didn't make the list? [[Janna]] not enough lane pressence, your ad-carry is gonna have to use your shield - you can only make defensive plays(almost) she almost made the list and is still gud as niche. [[Sona]] situational CC, you can only make a play after either 3 power chords or post 6 when ulty is up, not enough to effectively carry you through solo-q. [[Leona]] Real stronk, playmaker of the fucking year - this bitch does fucking everything besides healing and shielding holy shit she stronk. BUT when she goes in, she goes all in. If your ad-carry just farms for 4 seconds before even noticing you, you're gonna loose out on the trade and you're gonna loose the lane from there almost(no recovery) [[nunu]] Almost no play-potential. Leaves too much to the ad-carry(also who the fuck plays nunu, so boring :-/) [/quote] Most of this stuff is spot on... But i take a little offense to the [[nunu]] thing... I play him tanky ap support all the time :/[/quote]

[quote=Anastasios]I like Nunu. From what i can see, even if your AD carry can't do shit, you just buff him and force him to whether he likes it or not. Also, [[ice blast]] is way too OP.[/quote]

[quote=Categorico]Actually, my main champion is [[Zilean]] and I carried some ranked games better than my carry. If he's really bad, you can save his *** with your [[chrono shift]] and [[time warp]], and if he's good and comunicative you can rolfstomp the lane. Also it gives a great XP bonus to every teammate, so I think Zilean is a good choice, but he's underrated right now D: I hope some day people start playing him again, because he can be really useful if used correctly.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Don't worry @Categorico, I play support [[zilean]] all the time and become the team's APC by lategame more often than not XD[/quote]

[quote=Categorico]OMG I'm not alone :3! Now being serious, sure there is people who play [[Zilean]], (like every champ), but they are hard to find, and the guides for him aren't so worked and well made as for other champs, and maybe people who like playing as a support are missing a great champion because almost nobody uses him. At least, he's never banned in ranked games XDD.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Never said nunu isn't good. He's one of the strongest supports out there. But a good low-elo support needs to be able to do stuff on his own. You don't make any game breaking plays on a nunu. You might help your team but you don't have any hard cc. It all comes down to your ad-carry (or top) not sucking. If your ad-carry sucks your peel is useless, your MS buff is useless and your AS buff is useless, rendering you 40% useless. You also do not have any "big-play" skills like all the "good low-elo supports" do: taric stun, lulu morph/slow/ult, lux bind, zyra bind and last but definitely not least blitz grab.[/quote]

[quote=Banishedd][[Taric]] for durability and safeness. [[Sona]] for fun and utility.[/quote]
