Do you guys enjoy playing Support?

[Niku]

So you're saying you go on playing champions you know jack shit about without checking a guide and/or livestream/tutorial?

Come on..

I said nothing in those manners, I know perfectly well how to play Zilean.

[Still Rampant Rabbit]

Let's not forget how outrageously ugly she is too.

(Yes that's important)



None of the guides I've read for champions I've played have told me who I should be laning with

Then you haven't seen the proper ones where it is described in high detail which champions are bad laning partners, and which champions are good laning partners. This is based on synergy.

I said nothing in those manners, I know perfectly well how to play Zilean.

Then you should also know the lane potential with certain other champions.

I bought Divine Soraka skin without any sale when I tried her out. I couldn't withstand to look at the other two. That's how ugly Soraka is.

Hopefully her remake is close and she'll have more cleavage/boobs/ass/redhead/legs/lips/whateverthefuck they can give to her.

I've seen the new skin to Karma as well. (As a datamined file) I like Karma but she is much more gold hungry than other supports. Though her shield holds for a lot and she does have a percentage based heal that makes your tanks get wet in the right places, she still needs farm to be effective. While that is not a bad thing for my team mates, and we do have a specialized Karma player among us, there are still many AD carries around who start yelling "AMAGAD YOU TOUCHED A MINION BY MISTAKE ALT F4 NOW YOU DENY ME FARM! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!" when you get a few minions. Gotta love randoms I guess.

I am 78% as soraka in Ranked. I dont really enjoy playing soraka or taric, sometimes i enjoy ali and naut support but thats about it. However, i play support most of the time because i really dont wanna screw up a important lane, prefer just keeping my ad carry safe. I love playing support when my ad carry is good, but when its a player who doesnt know what last hitting even means then its all so tragic.

[Jinxing]

Love support usually go with Sona and Janna, sometimes Soraka and Lulu

[miss]

Definitely. Karma has been the most enjoyable for me although Soraka is up there with her as well. I still have to try out Janna, so my preference may change

[Trollspwn]

I really like Janna, Sona, Leona all the active supports. I just wish blitzcrank and soraka didn´t exist, I have to ban them every game if I want to play bot lane as they just turn it into absolute hell.

True dat, I make sure Blitz is banned every game...just so much zoning power.

Soraka, eh...not so much. You just force trades after she has used her heal.

I'm mostly playing Nunu (with Caits, Kogs, and Vaynes) and Sona (with anything else) right now.

[Aang]

Blitzcrank isn't a must for ban but I sometimes think that I should but since I'm in the 1000 ELO range there is never really a great skillshotter so I'm not to scared.

If I'm going to ban a support it would most likely be Taric at my ELO because he is simple to play for many and once you get a few items into your build he becomes great.

I actually enjoy support if someone takes the Jungle. Support is actually extremely easy and I don't know how you can be bad at it. You basically stay back if you're a Sona, Soraka, or Janna and just do the occasional heal and what not. Taric can go in and survive and harass the carry or the other support, to me it feels relatively simple. I've seen some Alistar's knock you up and push you into his own turret which really is annoying and you want to hit yourself in the face for it.

[akts]

You basically stay back if you're a Sona

Sona is offensive support.

[Toxigen]

Sona is offensive support.

This, precisely. Max Q first, harass like mad.

[Ilara]

I only play full support when I'm laning with a friend. With randoms I only play the more aggressive ones.

[lovecraft]

Outside of the jungle I usually play support. When I have to do bans I usually ban Alistar. As I find him more annoying in bot lane than blitzcrank and soraka.

Normally when I play support, I usually go with Leona/Sona/Janna. Lately, I've been practicing a lot with Nunu, and Taric and Blitzcrank (Who I find easy to play than Soraka ,which is my 2nd worst played support champ other being the Cow.)

[Zeoni]

You only really need to ban Blitz when you're playing Soraka or Sona. All the other supports can deal with the grips, especially other tanky ones. Leona practically wants to be gripped lol. I don't play support as much as I used to, used to be a pretty one dimensional player only rocking Sona or Soraka mainly. Now I currently own all the supports except Taric and Leona and can play any just as good as each other. Janna is incredible though, have a 100% win/loss with her now in ranked. Unless I'm playing 5v5 ranked and no one else can support, I don't normally want to grind games as it. Wards do win games though, having vision of objectives and jungle entrances + buffs is so important. I hate playing with supports who don't ward much, makes me want to just play support so I can avoid lack of vision. Especially if people are running blindly into our jungle and just feeding them more kills.

[Kanani]

I enjoy playing support. Especially Lulu and Alistar. Shen can be strong support too and hes pretty fun to play. Id say my favorite support is Lulu. Shes insane in teamfights.

[lopk]

I used to hate support. If felt like I was just a deadweight, did no damage no kills, etc. But then I actually tried it out and I really love it.

I like "traditional" supports (raka, taric, sona) far better than "non-traditional" (blitz, leona, gp - basically no heal) because I do like feeling like the healer in the party. I love being able to harass and then just heal my ad up. :-)

With that being said, I don't blame people for not liking the roll. It's quite a bit different than a carry, but it's nice getting to be lazy in lane not working for cs.

[Aang]

I know Sona is offensive but I what I meant about stay back is that lots of people that play her tend to get out of position and over extend which is a huge no no for Sona because she is like a flower, flowers get crushed easily and they are pretty like the morning sun. Do you want your flower crushed?

[Toxigen]

No, I like my flowers uncrushed.

[Jinxing]

Of course I do, who doesn't!? It's so much fun!

[akts]

Beep boop crush the flowers.
