I used to be like that mute everyone and just grind but as I watched streamers and YouTubers they gave a lot of pointers. Check out xfsn saber he's a Challenger adc but his videos are super knowledgeable, gives pointers that applies to all roles. This season was my highest peaked in diamond if you just reevaluate yourself and ask questions on their twitch streams


I'll check it out. Thanks mate <3

You typically want to find champs you can get 55+% wr in order to climb by grinding.
Anything less you'll be incredibly frustrated.

Keep in mind there's different types of supports as well, figure out what your play style is and work with that, ie my play style is control or kill lane depending on my team/adc comp so I like to use either Morgana, Leona or Brand. If you're not as mechanically skilled yet try a sustain support like Nami, Raka or even Janna. Zyra is a good control and kill support as well, but she doesn't suit me kinda clunky on delayed spells..

Mechanical part ain't my issue, after D2 PvP for years, that's least of my trouble.
It's just game knowledge and rotations that I'm weak with.
And my main pick in this season is karma. 57% winrate in 140 rankeds so far iirc.
Might need to find a second pick. Usually I go with Lulu since I can play her both defensively and aggressively, kind of like karma. She's got good poke, but yet amazing kit to save adc or provide cc.
However, that's just theory. I suck on Lulu and got 50% winrate in 10 games that karma was picked/banned in :D

Muting all and playing single player is a horrible idea for a support. As a support main the best to do is think to yourself "will I make the situation worse?" If you think doing nothing at all times you'll be hardstuck, if you always think you gotta do something you'll be stuck. It's a chess game, think about pros and cons of the play actions. If your adc keeps engaging and feeds don't make the game any harder for someone who can carry by feeding as well.


Thats what Ive been doing for years now. Of course youll be flamed by "enemy missing" question marks every time they die "useless, lagging? " etc

Mute pings instead. Gold doesn’t know how to use pings aside from spamming enemy missing on your dead body.

This exactly, what separates a gold player from plat is using yellow pings vs red pings

I’m gonna start spamming red pings on dead bodies so riot adjusts my MMR although I personally like to spam laugh or dance if I’m near the body.
