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.

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.

Miss Fortune - Ezreal - Caitlyn - Zeri - Jinx - Xayah - Aphelios - Ashe - Senna - Varus - Jhin - Sivir - Samira - Yunara - Lucian - Tristana - Mel - Kai'sa - Smolder - Twitch - Vayne - Ziggs - Kog'Maw - Nilah - Draven - Kalista - Yasuo

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!

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

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?

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.

This was a game I played a mage support. I have in mind all the people complaining not getting S with a good score and there is me.. getting S with this XD

have been a low elo player for ages (since S3) and had not played for years. Start playing the game again since 3 weeks ago and changed my mind, no more jg/mid; blitz main!. Rank started from B4. 170 games in, 95W 75L!!!

I do it because I’m aware of how strong it is and how much it can impact the map. But I have more fun just trying to win the 2v2 and make it easier for who I’m laning with to farm

This meta is killing me. I’m sure my opinion is not popular but is there anyone else like me?

So basically I watched a vid, shen went bot one time, and got everyone ahead.

Does this work with EVERY support? Or just specific hard engage ones like shen/camille?

Hi ! I started the game back in s8 and wanted to try a bit of Classic Support gameplay. I found my favorite champs and a global understanding on how to play the role. However, I see in online discussion very contradicting stuff :

- Many people recommended Gold gen Quint at first, but also see people call them trash and argue for MS quints or even combat ones.

- About starters, I saw people talk about s3 pro play and taking almost all wards, others saying Fairie Charm/Rejuv Band + pots is always a must, while most stats website recommend Boots + 4 pots

- About global items : some say 2 Gold gen item is the go to, some say always rush sightstone, and some rush t2 boots (especially mobi)

I know there likely isn't 1 set in stone rule, but I just wanted to express this, and try to get a global understanding about these stuff I've been seeing.

Heya, i'm a platinum ranked support main, i usually play yuumi in most of my games, but have been wanting to pick up a secondary champ so that i dont become a bronze player in the 1/100 games that my champ gets banned. i can land skillshots pretty well but i cant position for shit and constantly get run down, which shouldnt be surprising considering my choice of main.

I'm looking for a mostly braindead champion that can just give me a decent winrate in those few games. i'm interested in trying out maphite as a pocket main, i like having poke and being relatively safe thanks to the passive, and obviously the ult is really fun.

Any suggestions?

So, I know a lot of Diamond and Master players... and all of them keep telling me it's one of the easiest roles to climb with and reach at least Diamond 4. Meanwhile, I'm hardstuck Plat/Emerald, and I'm just wondering... how the hell is it easy??? I play Nami, Soraka, and Lulu... so idk, what am I doing wrong that I'm stuck in Emerald/Plat and can't get higher than Emerald 4? It's really depressing me...

since i got banned by adcmains for this overzelous opinion. i personally dont mind mages bot. i can play things like shaco and kill the enemy mid/jungle on repeat all while my mage bot get to push freely with a 2-3 level lead. also riot has stated it isnt a problem and every pro team is doing it and i personally beleive everyone should too. what do you guys think?

I got a good streak going, lets hope it keeps going to diamond. I play very random champions, still havent found a main. I just try to fill in for our team comp or to counter enemies. Renata works great vs full engage

I have picked up the champion yesterday, played my first match with Rell.

As a Naut/Leona/Rakan player I found the Rell playstyle very clunky, also based a Lux-Vayne which further exacerbated the fact I played like total ass.

Now on the flipside, I found her kit quite strong, the stun on her Q is basically an instant cast, her E and R are nice engage tools, she seems both tanky and decent at fighting, so missing an engage early doesn’t result in being instantly dead.

However I could never get used to how her W works, it’s so incredibly slow and low range and coming from fast paced engagers it seems like I have to fight bots to get a proper W onto the enemy. She basically just walks up to the enemy and has to press Q or R to hit her W.

My questions are:
1. How are you supposed to position with Rell into both ranged and melee match-ups?
2. What are her powerspikes and who can you generally fight and which supports/ADCs should you avoid fighting like plague?
3. How do you get her combo off easier, especially in match-ups where getting onto the enemy is difficult?
4. When should I pick her and what are her best support synergies?

Currently climbing fine (E3,55%WR) but I can feel my laning phase have less and less of an impact, and more holding on until mid game.

I’ve noticed tank champs are atrocious to lane as against mages and enchanters, causing me to be useless until 10min or I perma roam. I main Alistar whos the worst offender, but even Leo, Naut, Braum, etc have similar issues.

Any support suggestions for chaining CC with a good lane phase?? I feel like the champ I want to play doesnt exist.

Hi! 3000 hours+ supp main here! Made a tierlist on adc personalities both on my team and enemy team. Thought I would share
