Study high elo support vods or ones for your champion pool

#

apply learnings to your games

#

have a small champion pool, be comfortable on those

#

know all the matchups and how it should go

#

keep up vision and sweep on cooldown

#

and if you are struggling get a coach and let them explain it to you based on your context

Hey! I’d highly recommend watching coaching content from your own rank and elo, which you can find a bunch of online. Also, something I used to do when I was a low rank was to watch supports Smurf in my own elo, and see how I can reproduce that. Recently, I wanted to help out again, and I have a couple games I played in lower ranks, with whatever champion my chat requested. My goal was to talk about everything going on in my head, and explain how I Smurf in your ranks. I played: Alistar in Diamond, Nami in Gold, Lulu and Karma in Silver, and Thresh in bronze. I plan on playing more soon, but let me know if any of those vods would be useful. I also recently coached a silver pyke support, who is now gold 3, and a plat senna support, who is now diamond 3. Both vods are still available to watch for free

@shut blade @jade raven Hii! Sorry for the ping! Thank you so much! This is really really helpful. I’ll go ahead and start looking into these as soon as I’m off work. I play Morg, Nami, and Lulu. I’m trying so hard to get back to where I was in preseason! I was in promos for Gold and I’ve been dying to climb higher to learn how to get better at the game. 😭

As a low GM supp main. Stay away from enchanters if you're below diamond and wanting to actually climb. Enchanters are a low elo bait for the most part. Enchanters do not have any near the play making capability to win a game as xerath lux or blitz ect... TLDR if u want 2 climb quickly as support don't play an enchanter.
