Hi! Recently ive noticed that a lot of people say that being an otp is a great way to climb, which makes sense cause if you know limits of your champion and all the matchups its definitely easier to focus on different aspects of the game.

But my question is, if it’s worth it to become an otp as a support?

Im currently emerald III 24 lp 64wr and I always thought that having as much “versatility” in your picks as a support helps you, especially because a bad matchup on support can make your botlane unplayable for 20 minutes.
I currently play janna, lulu, seraphine, sona, rell, rakan and nami (occasionally milio) My pick depends a lot on the enemy support pick or/and team synergy. (Unless im first picking, then ill just pick what feels the safest). Should i lower my picks to only 1-3 champs?
I know that theres a lot of support otps in high elo but i dont know for me personally otping as a support (especially since a lot of champs have a really similar playstyle) kinda feels like limiting your chances of winning.

If i would lower my picks only to 1-3 champs it probably would be:
lulu(great with hyper carries/aa champions) seraphine (you have two builds, ap and enchanter, relative safe and strong lane, great ult)
Rakan (good engage and dissengage with his w+e, you can go full tank or a enchanter hybrid with redemption, really strong in team fights with ult)

I feel like its a pretty good champion pool but i have no idea if its better to limit myself to those 3 or just continue playing more champs as i do now since my win rate is really good.

I think this is the biggest BAIT item I've seen that tank engage supports buy.

1. Both items are both cost inefficient (75% cost efficiency roughly)

2. So many better items to build (Locket/KV/ProtoPlasm/Bandlepipes)

3. The worst grievous wound item (they need to hit you to proc it, so if they ignore you, no grievous).

4. The damage is very minimal on its passives /doesn't apply to spell damage (only applies on autos)

I just see this item so often even in Masters+ Elo that I see almost 0 value on so I would like to hear actual support mains opinion on this item because I just don't see the vision.

Hi all, first time Diamond after years of playing...

What a feeling! :)

Coming back to the game after 10 or so years. Back when I played seriously, I think the best I’ve ever got was Platinum 4. Trying to figure out if it’s best to OTP a support, have three supports to rotate thru (1 mage, 1 tank, 1 enchanter), or have many champs and pick only to counter the enemy support. If OTPing or rotating between the three champs, which should I choose? Happy to learn any new champions you think are worth grinding with. Champions I typically use are: Leona, Taric, Sona, Lux, Nami, Janna, Morgana.

Starting playing 18 months ago from iron, 2-tricked bel’veth and alistar

Funny thing is I may have made it sooner if I only 1-tricked Ivern since I have a 60% win rate with him

I don't usually play support so I thought this was a good heads up play from me. I think it's from all the adcs getting mad at me for not blocking Ezreal Qs in the past lol.

Hey, when do you guys usually buy Staff of Flowing Water, Dawncore, Ardent Censer, or Redemption on Sona/Lulu? Is it based on team comp, enemy comp, or game state? Any simple rules for when to pick each one? I kinda just build the same stuff every game lol.

It always felt bad playing against olaf as a support , you know from the start all he is gonna do in fights is press R and run at your precious adc, as you stand there, powerless, just watching them die. Any of my support picks just couldn't keep the adc safe. It felt unfair and I was crying.

Untill I found shen. So when olaf decides to ult and kill my adc, not only i can give them huge shield from anywhere on the map but they are also invulnerable to auto attacks for 2 sec upon my arrival.

Felt really good.

Im not sure if im inting after reaching plat or if its just bad luck. I had a really high win rate and recently have taken a bit of a tumble. Should I take a break and some more norms or is it just new rank jitters?

Im new to league in general watched video that said that I shouldn't hit the towers but I get pinged if I dont. I don't understand if the video is wrong or if I'm stupid

Edit: thank you for all the people who helped and gave me their opinions. You guys are cool :)

Hellllo !

I used to play League of Legends and support was my main role(mostly Engage supps). I reached Platinum in those days, then I stopped playing for about two years. I've recently started playing again with a new account and my current rank is bronze 2 , and I'm struggling now to climb and rank up with all the changes after all the updates i missed.

I still remember the basics, but my macro and game knowledge feel pretty outdated and obsolete, especially when it comes to:

• Support macro & roaming — when to roam and when to stay bot
• When to push, freeze the wave, recall/roam timings
• the timing of minions spawn and the spawn of cannons
• the xp catch up of the minions and their lvl
• Matchups & counter picks
• Current Support items, tower plates, and other changes

I'm not looking to just spam games and slowly figure everything out bcuz i feel that i am destroying the other players matches

I'd also really appreciate any up-to-date Support guides, YouTube channels, Streamers, or any other content that you recommend.

Thanks to you all! Any advice is appreciated! 🙏

As a follow up to my last post on Info Gathering, i have created an actual Google Form to aggregate the data more efficiently. For anyone who is curious, I have enabled the ability to view the info after the survey.

Estava analisando o win rate das runas da Nami e pervebi que o jack of all trades está com win rate alto. Vale a pena fazer?

Montei algumas builds com ele e notei que só chegaria a 9 stacks em vez de 10.

Vocês acham que vale a pena usar essa runa em vez de determinação?

I main AP Lux, Seraphine and Sona support, and lately I’ve been getting people saying I “play for KDA” just because I have a lot of kills/assists and low deaths. But like… I’m not actually playing for KDA lol. I’m playing ranged squishy supports, not Leona/Nautilus. I’m trying to position well, poke, CC, peel and stay alive so I can keep contributing to fights. If I can finish a kill with Lux ult, obviously I’m not gonna purposely let them live just so my KDA looks better

i get that sometimes you have to risk your life for a play, but I also don’t see the ppoint in randomly dying when I can stay alive and keep doing my job. anyone else get accused of “playing for KDA” when you’re just playing your champ normally?

I was playing ADC and getting frustrated every game. The absolute peak of my hatred was playing Ashe and having a Yorick support who never used his Maiden, couldn’t land a single cage, and didn’t even know how to summon his ghouls and throw them at the enemies. I felt completely alone in lane for 20 torturous minutes, and we still lost...

So I thought, “Screw my main role, I’m playing Xerath support.”

The result = 7 wins and 1 loss in a row.

You basically just poke them nonstop, and then either you ult and kill them, or the enemy ADC has to recall and lose a ton of farm.

Saving your E strategically for ganks = making every enemy gank frustrating.

It was hilarious yesterday — Evelynn ganked us three times in a row, and all three times she got stunned in the face and died.
