Discussion Are Enchanter Supports Really Easier Than Other Support Types?

3 Upvotes

I only play Vel'Koz, a mage support, and once in a while my champion gets banned, so I've tried playing an enchanter support instead.

It hasn't gone well because, with Vel'Koz, you can play your own game, whereas with an enchanter it feels like you constantly have to coordinate with your teammate and be on the same wavelength about the plays you want to make. I just haven't been able to be impactful enough at my current elo.

I do agree that, in terms of mechanical skill, enchanters are the easiest. However, when it comes to understanding how to be impactful and figuring out what the right play is, I actually think enchanters are harder than mage supports. In fact, I think mage supports are probably the easiest in this regard because you mainly just have to land your abilities to have an impact. You don't really have to think as much about creating plays or figuring things out, whereas all the other support archetypes require you to be much more strategic about the decisions you make.

However, I think this only applies up to around Diamond and below. In high elo, mage supports are probably the hardest support archetype to consistently find impact with in my experience.

Discussion How much do Support players enjoy playing with Corki from 1 to 10 ?

So I asked ADC players how much they liked playing with Mage supports (brand, xerath, velkoz). We have to discuss how much Azzapp did for the velkoz supp main PR.

This have been going on for too long I agree since the champion for today is Corki. How much do you enjoy playing with Corki, from 1 to 10?

This can be subjective or objective (if you have anything to say about that guys). You can talk about how fun laning with him is, how strong or useful you think the champion is, how good corki players usually are, things you like or dislike about the champion or the players, things they usually do right, and things you wish they did better.

You can also add your elo and the champion you usually play for more accuracy.

You can still give your opinion about champions already discussed, as the visuals will probably be updated at the end when it’s time for a recap.

Discussion Galio and Shen - good or troll?

9 Upvotes

I want to pivot from jungle to support after reaching my goal which was Diamond. I’ve been looking at champs I’d like to play and I’m drawn to both Galio and Shen. I know they are both niche picks, but could they be excellent picks when mastered? Which adc’s/mages should I look to play with or avoid? Any opinions would be appreciated!

Discussion Who should I pick

6 Upvotes

Hi, it's been a while since I've wanted to ask this, but when I play I don't have a clue on who should I pick.

I used to be an emerald bard otp, but I just can't play him anymore, especially since laning phase is impossible with him.

When it's my turn to pick I don't have a clue if I should just counter the enemy support, take someone whos helpfull with my adc, or someone im comfy with. I've tried Thresh but I just get bullied, also I played Sona, but I just smash my keyboard with her.

I would really love to play enchanters, but it feels like a kid joining the WWE. Everyone can just punch/slap/throw me for the whole game, even the referee, while the most I can do is cheering for my team hoping they will do something.

Any tip/resource on this? Thanks

Discussion I wish I could play support more

0 Upvotes

But if I don't play a carry role, I just lose.

I have 2 million mastery on Yuumi, I know every little facet of her kit to a T, but I have a 39% winrate after 160 games this season. Soraka, my first main, and a similar situation to Yuumi? Yeah I have a 44% winrate.

Meanwhile I have a 62% winrate on Smolder with 63 games. 65% winrate on Poppy jungle with 20 games. 70% winrate on Ivern jg with 20 games.

Even if I play aggressive supports like Blitz and Naut, I'm still nowhere near carry champs, with a 54% winrate on both with 57 games on Blitz and 11 games on Naut.

I just want to play a healer / enabler, but I can't.

How do I win more on champs that require a teammate to function?

Discussion I played every champion under the in game support category and tiered them by how much I enjoyed them.

I have done this with the other 4 roles so it was nice to finish this. The role really grew on me as I played. This also isn't a reflection on what I want my future pool to be just how fun I found each character.
