Great video! My English is limited, so I had to rewatch it a few times to understand details, but your didactic explanation is very clear! Thanks!
You bet wrong. I was a support main for years and support is what carries games. I just like watching videos to see what people are feeling. What should be noted is that players rage you in low elo for not diving. They will stop trusting you and refuse fights or outright make you die by calling plays and leaving. Because they think you should be doing something you shouldn't and will tilt and troll. It's amazing to watch how insane people sound. It's like they can't see anything happening and straight-up invent some fantasy story about the game. Not one of them will ever go back and watch the replay.
I really like your format, and you have a good voice. My only recommendation is your speech pattern, you have a downwards lilt to you voice, where you start a sentence strong then teeter off to a low volume, for playback reasons this can be tricky to listen to because at times you are loud and at times you are too quiet. Aside from that delivery is very nice and concise, enunciation is clear and overall pace is great. Love these guides.
Literally me yesterday. Was Milio with Ezreal vs Draven and Lux. My Ezreal was pretty bad (he died several times 1v1 vs Draven when I started to roam) but when I was in the lane we crushed the lane so hard I don't think Ezreal understood how much I did for him and the lane. Then hovered bot side while clearing vision and he died again vs Draven and started to flame me and asked why I played Milio as if the problem was the champion that won the lane for him into arguably an otherwise pretty difficult matchup, when the problem was that he initiated a fight when I wasn't even close to support him. Or the Lucian that got so mad because I was hitting creep to push for level 2 that he intentionally gave two kills. I played Seraphine vs Jinx and Xerath and to me it was insanity because Lucian and Seraphine are almost as good as Lucian and Nami early and can absolutely stomp their lane. Instead he let us get pushed in which is bad vs Jinx and Xerath since they got better long range harass. It created a terrible mood in the team even though we were actually winning elsewhere, I sold my supp item because Lucian actually left the game and I thought he wasn't coming back and it was just terrible from there. His actions singlehandedly ruined the game. I am not going to do wrong or bad wave control just because my adc doesn't know better and most don't complain when you help but when you get that one bad egg this is why bot is one of the most frustrating lanes to play because they *think* the passive enchanter is the correct playstyle even when it's not.
@@ezrealislife8694 Maybe if Draven plays badly and gets poked out of lane, but in an all in situation, Ezreal is definitely weaker than Draven early. Stats also supports that since Draven has a better winrate vs Ezreal.
@@Kamishi845 That is not the main reason. Draven needs to get a lead early, his passive is nearly worthless if he doesn’t get kills. Ezreal can potentially poke Draven out when he goes to catch axes, but surviving lane is more than enough to make Draven useless. Obviously Draven is stronger in a lane all in, but no one in the right mind would fight a Draven head on as Ezreal in lane. Stats don’t mean anything for Ezreal. His win rate is significantly lowered by players who don’t know how to play him. If you look at win rates, you’ll probably see Ezreal having a negative win rate vs every bot laner in the game. But in reality, Ezreal doesn’t have a single losing matchup when it comes to ADCs, the most difficult ones are at worst skilled matchups.
What you state is true for almost every adc vs Draven, so I don't really see that as much of a valid reason since the point is that neither player plays it perfectly, then the scale tips in Draven's favor because it's easier for him to punish mistakes and create leads than it is for Ezreal early. There's also the support differences and jungle influence as well. Yes, if Ezreal is able to poke Draven out he can win the lane that way, and if Ezreal is able to freeze the lane he can also win that way, but that assumes the Draven is bad and dumb and Ezreal isn't and I don't think that's a fair comparison whatsoever.
@@Kamishi845 Since when did I assume the Draven is bad? All I’m saying is that Ezreal’s kit makes it difficult for Draven to get kills in lane, mainly due to Arcane Shift. If Draven ever tries to engage, Ezreal can just E back and Q for free poke. Or just E and Q farm from afar. No other ADC can do both at once. Draven either needs to take free poke by constantly blocking Ezreal Q, or let Ezreal farm.
I disagree with 6:04. It's not teamfight so if the choice is between you die or your adc dies, choice is obvious, you can't assist dead adc. Here lucian was realy out of position, so hard to trade sona life for his, but sona did nothing to help him. At least ult shaco or exhaust him when he was nearby, lucian would get extra seconds of life. We don't know how fed is shaco, but with flash, exhaust and ult up sona could try to aggro shaco, no way for her to die without blitz Q, it would be waste of time for shaco to attack her. She got 0/1/4, so it's possible that lucian had 4 kills, with any sona help lucian could live or it could be 1 for 1 or viego could come and kill low hp enemy. Meanwhile sona is half screen away with full resources and everything up, recalling after that because she can't do anything without lucian. I know that i put too much faith in randoms, but when i'm playing support (renata main) i'm trying to actively support my team, if that means that I meatshield for my fed adc, then so be it :)
It was just a waste, there is no scenario where lucian lives. Maybe you get a kill under tower, maybe but Luci is dead no matter what and Viego had no intention of heading bot. Saving the ult and exhaust for a better play is the right call. All 3 of the enemy players were still capable of killing luci even after ult and exhaust.
the example used for the 2 ranks here were completely different as well. one was bot lane being overextended and unaware of a gank and the other was literally just a nami throwing a random q fishing for potential. in the gold elo one, the sona lucian could have easily just burst ahri down and it was done. its just a bad example for what they are trying to show here.
I main jungle or top and definitely in most of my games I rather have a better support,cause it can support an actual carry of the team at the time of the game.lately it’s making a huge difference on my game for a month now,and I just want to ff when the support is being more knuckle head than the ADC cause the enemy team support is being a nuisance to my win conditions
That's sad because he's extremely easy to pickup tbh. He plays a bit like a combination of Ahri (his Q is similar range but a bit slower) and Karma but he actually has an ult.
@kamishi4145 yea sadly people tell me "oh this my 6th game with them" then proceeds to feed or they dont know their kit. So I'm not taking the risk. I'll take a complain as to why I banned him over losing LP
good suppor or bad suport bouth lose game if enemy 3 player get fed and get 2 iteams in in 6-7 min.. just fed on them and start invading only side what is left ...u can be beast at rolle but itss still useles
Your website is way too expensive. 19 dollars a month for new educational content every 2 months. 2 smurf commentaries per role every week is also not enough. On top of that, after subscribing, the coaching still isn't free.. lol
@@frutkovrutko3053 He said it is too expensive for its content. The fact that you don't see the problem doesn't mean others can't see it as well. Also, what does refund have to do with this?
Vision part is ok, but I strongly disaggree with "stay safe". If in 2v2 you are safe as support and hiding behind your adc - then he is the target and he will not be able to give all his damage. So it doesn't matter if you are alive - you are loosing the team fight by throwing your adc into danger. Tanking few hits, being in the team fight and pressuring opponent by showing that you are here and ready to help - thats the good support qualities, not hiding behind adc playing for your kda.
The examples they gave were situations where it wasn't a clean 2v2 and they were trying to make space for their adc regardless. If your adc is mispositioning you shouldn't sacrifice your own positioning to save them.
Sure, if adc could not be saved - then just save yourself. I'm not suggesting to feed with hopeless adc,but if there is a chance to win the fight (saving mispositioned adc is also a win) then help him with everything you have including valuable resource called health. My point is that half-help when support is always behind is worse then afk, its like pretending that you are actually doing something. This is making adc life much more difficult and could give false impression that you are actually there ready to help. Help or don't.
@@therine8214 I love supports like that as a support who likes long range champs. Just one combo and they are effectively out of the fight because they stepped up. Could not be better. Especially enchanters because once you CC them they are done. Easiest pick in the game pre team fight.
@ all Soraka players Luminum's Soraka build is the perfect example of this video. Shurelya, Swiftness boots, nimbus cloak, celerity, and heal summoner spell all enhance her movespeed from her passive and her survivability. Assassins have so many dashes and mobility that Soraka's needs to be able to kite around a teamfight because she is the priority target. Stop building moonstone! (unless the enemy team has no engage or way to jump on you)
true, but in this *type* of scenario most of the time this person would turn and die instead of saving themselves, so while its true that specifically here it may have been good to do so, if they make a habit of running first then trying to help it will cover most scenarios better than their previous habit would
Probably, probably not. Imo if that Lucian didn't see the obvious threat from ahri, he wouldn't be on bad position in the first place. The risk of not having ult far outweighs the gamble I would take on random adc
I don't think so, no way a sona ult can hit those 3, most damage came from Ahri and there was a shaco trap on the left (very sure that blitz was on cooldown there). That glacial augment was nasty and when the stun ended...it's likely that shaco would've thrown a knife, it's better to try to keep the ult for a return kill
Well at least in my elo i hate enchanters so much. They suck either way but when the team just needs frontline and heavy cc, dudes pick yuumi or some dumb shit
all of these videos are useless like if you do everything you will still lose always the enemys have smufs and pros and you get brainless teams its just depends on ur luck how you can win while they adc and top is fed and you are mid you cant do anything
Ah yes the pings are my biggest worry for surviving while my teamate dies.... oh nope, it's the pings followed by the verbal bs out of other roles, followed by the ff spam on cooldown and the running it down because "supp didn't peel for me" bro you were dead. Also maybe teach adcs and such how to survive under their own towers. Like I can kite and get enemies to at least 10%hp before I die and tower picks them up or they get out with that if it's fizz or Elise etc. But adc just seem to stand there and die, so sad to watch
Sona's been nerfed to the ground and she's especially hard to play in lower ELO (silver, gold). People just don't understand how to properly play around her or expect too much out of her. In higher ELO she might be a bit better balanced (talking about high skill caps). I'm an ex Sona main (Janna, Nami too) and reached D4 several times and seasons, even D3 promos, but that's as far as I could go. But since the meta shifted to shit a couple seasons ago, I can't even get out of gold now, just doing the same stuff, playing in the same way. Too many garbage items have been introduced to the game, also all these new champs with coinflip mechanics, I can't stand LoL anymore. The game used to be extremely fun to play, now I despise it.
Well, playing safe doesnt work in gold, if you do that you are getting flamed and your adc will int. Everytime he dies its obviously supports bad. If you play enchanter, they think you are supposed to play frontline.
Easy. Bad supports exist. Good supports don't. U mad? In all seriousness, the biggest gap I notice in every game is the support gap. There are supports who ward, position correctly and provide utility. And then there are the bozos that go to waves that haven't even crashed yet and clear them even when it puts them on the other side of the map from the next objective they should be warding. That's the stuff you guys should be talking about.
I honestly think sona doesn’t do anything. Everytime someone picks that champ on my team I lose. Why play sons when seraphine or lulu are just better and have actual abilities that interact with the enemy champions.
Sona has 0 lane but can help not lose lane and then offers a lot in the mid and late. Gives allies more dmg for objectives, heals and shields to save their feeding @, movement speed to kite and chase enemies and a good ult. It is a champion to pick when you think your team has worse tfs than the enemies or when you have a losing mid or top lane from the draft. Easy champ as well
She is good if you have a champ that needs to be baby sat much of the early game as ADC. Late game she is great in death ball comps where constantly heal/shielding combines with her ult. Seraphine is good but she doesn't really heal and her strength is more harassing at longer range early. I like both but for different situations. If I know the other team is less mobile or tank heavy I use Seraphine to CC and disrupt engages but if I think my team will have the tanks or less mobility I pick Sona. Later she can counter a lot of poke and harass while helping tanky engages.
i can spot autofilled bad supp from a mile, autos my minions, throws lux E or morgana W into CS, gets hooked by hook champs every time, plays zyra, brand, lux, velkoz or other dmg champs bc he doesn´t know how to play actuall supports , ends up with 10+ deaths.
@@oftensalty the problem is when they fuck up the wave or my CS tempo, they should touch it only when pushing fast or pushing to reset or autoing once under tower for me.
I play Brand a good bit but usually only with ADC I know because of this. If I know some one is aggressive and wants to farm champions/towers early Brand is a good choice. With others if I damage one or 2 minions and it throws off their tempo they get really mad because they are not that aggressive style. There is nothing wrong really with either style it is just personal preference. This is why I ask in champ select if my ADC wants heals or damage or CC in their support. If some one asks for damage and locks in Trist I have a pretty good idea what is coming and I lock in Brand. Games can be won either way just depends on the person. I think too many people just assume if a Brand W's so one minion gets hit along with a champ then E's the minion to harass more they are automatically wrong. If the other duo can't play the game because of no health that is also a win. You just have to make sure your ADC is on board with how that tempo will look.

What should be noted is that players rage you in low elo for not diving. They will stop trusting you and refuse fights or outright make you die by calling plays and leaving. Because they think you should be doing something you shouldn't and will tilt and troll. It's amazing to watch how insane people sound. It's like they can't see anything happening and straight-up invent some fantasy story about the game. Not one of them will ever go back and watch the replay.
what that stock video at 0:50 is actually supposed to be used for I have no idea, but this was a way better use of that footage that cracked me up
I really like your format, and you have a good voice. My only recommendation is your speech pattern, you have a downwards lilt to you voice, where you start a sentence strong then teeter off to a low volume, for playback reasons this can be tricky to listen to because at times you are loud and at times you are too quiet. Aside from that delivery is very nice and concise, enunciation is clear and overall pace is great. Love these guides.
Good stuff on vision and intentionality
man that lucian was PISSED
Literally me yesterday. Was Milio with Ezreal vs Draven and Lux. My Ezreal was pretty bad (he died several times 1v1 vs Draven when I started to roam) but when I was in the lane we crushed the lane so hard I don't think Ezreal understood how much I did for him and the lane. Then hovered bot side while clearing vision and he died again vs Draven and started to flame me and asked why I played Milio as if the problem was the champion that won the lane for him into arguably an otherwise pretty difficult matchup, when the problem was that he initiated a fight when I wasn't even close to support him.
Or the Lucian that got so mad because I was hitting creep to push for level 2 that he intentionally gave two kills. I played Seraphine vs Jinx and Xerath and to me it was insanity because Lucian and Seraphine are almost as good as Lucian and Nami early and can absolutely stomp their lane. Instead he let us get pushed in which is bad vs Jinx and Xerath since they got better long range harass. It created a terrible mood in the team even though we were actually winning elsewhere, I sold my supp item because Lucian actually left the game and I thought he wasn't coming back and it was just terrible from there. His actions singlehandedly ruined the game.
I am not going to do wrong or bad wave control just because my adc doesn't know better and most don't complain when you help but when you get that one bad egg this is why bot is one of the most frustrating lanes to play because they *think* the passive enchanter is the correct playstyle even when it's not.
Just one thing, Draven gets countered by Ezreal, not the other way around.
@@ezrealislife8694 Maybe if Draven plays badly and gets poked out of lane, but in an all in situation, Ezreal is definitely weaker than Draven early. Stats also supports that since Draven has a better winrate vs Ezreal.
@@Kamishi845 That is not the main reason. Draven needs to get a lead early, his passive is nearly worthless if he doesn’t get kills. Ezreal can potentially poke Draven out when he goes to catch axes, but surviving lane is more than enough to make Draven useless. Obviously Draven is stronger in a lane all in, but no one in the right mind would fight a Draven head on as Ezreal in lane. Stats don’t mean anything for Ezreal. His win rate is significantly lowered by players who don’t know how to play him. If you look at win rates, you’ll probably see Ezreal having a negative win rate vs every bot laner in the game. But in reality, Ezreal doesn’t have a single losing matchup when it comes to ADCs, the most difficult ones are at worst skilled matchups.
What you state is true for almost every adc vs Draven, so I don't really see that as much of a valid reason since the point is that neither player plays it perfectly, then the scale tips in Draven's favor because it's easier for him to punish mistakes and create leads than it is for Ezreal early. There's also the support differences and jungle influence as well. Yes, if Ezreal is able to poke Draven out he can win the lane that way, and if Ezreal is able to freeze the lane he can also win that way, but that assumes the Draven is bad and dumb and Ezreal isn't and I don't think that's a fair comparison whatsoever.
@@Kamishi845 Since when did I assume the Draven is bad? All I’m saying is that Ezreal’s kit makes it difficult for Draven to get kills in lane, mainly due to Arcane Shift. If Draven ever tries to engage, Ezreal can just E back and Q for free poke. Or just E and Q farm from afar. No other ADC can do both at once. Draven either needs to take free poke by constantly blocking Ezreal Q, or let Ezreal farm.
I disagree with 6:04. It's not teamfight so if the choice is between you die or your adc dies, choice is obvious, you can't assist dead adc. Here lucian was realy out of position, so hard to trade sona life for his, but sona did nothing to help him. At least ult shaco or exhaust him when he was nearby, lucian would get extra seconds of life.
We don't know how fed is shaco, but with flash, exhaust and ult up sona could try to aggro shaco, no way for her to die without blitz Q, it would be waste of time for shaco to attack her. She got 0/1/4, so it's possible that lucian had 4 kills, with any sona help lucian could live or it could be 1 for 1 or viego could come and kill low hp enemy. Meanwhile sona is half screen away with full resources and everything up, recalling after that because she can't do anything without lucian.
I know that i put too much faith in randoms, but when i'm playing support (renata main) i'm trying to actively support my team, if that means that I meatshield for my fed adc, then so be it :)
That'd be a waste, stun blitz he's the cc
It was just a waste, there is no scenario where lucian lives. Maybe you get a kill under tower, maybe but Luci is dead no matter what and Viego had no intention of heading bot.
Saving the ult and exhaust for a better play is the right call.
All 3 of the enemy players were still capable of killing luci even after ult and exhaust.
If Sona was gonna go back in and die at 3:20 she should have dropped the exhaust on Ahri so Lucian could pick up the triple.
its gold bro
the example used for the 2 ranks here were completely different as well. one was bot lane being overextended and unaware of a gank and the other was literally just a nami throwing a random q fishing for potential.
in the gold elo one, the sona lucian could have easily just burst ahri down and it was done. its just a bad example for what they are trying to show here.
I main jungle or top and definitely in most of my games I rather have a better support,cause it can support an actual carry of the team at the time of the game.lately it’s making a huge difference on my game for a month now,and I just want to ff when the support is being more knuckle head than the ADC cause the enemy team support is being a nuisance to my win conditions
I'm literally banning milio for like a week. I'm tired of ppl picking him on ranked and don't even know how to use him wtf
That's sad because he's extremely easy to pickup tbh. He plays a bit like a combination of Ahri (his Q is similar range but a bit slower) and Karma but he actually has an ult.
@kamishi4145 yea sadly people tell me "oh this my 6th game with them" then proceeds to feed or they dont know their kit. So I'm not taking the risk. I'll take a complain as to why I banned him over losing LP
first and i love your videos they help me play so much
Thanks, improvements on my games was insta
As a support my mains is Zyra, Lux and Morgana
Good support: Auto filled top main
Bad support: Actual support main
good suppor or bad suport bouth lose game if enemy 3 player get fed and get 2 iteams in in 6-7 min.. just fed on them and start invading only side what is left ...u can be beast at rolle but itss still useles
Your website is way too expensive. 19 dollars a month for new educational content every 2 months. 2 smurf commentaries per role every week is also not enough. On top of that, after subscribing, the coaching still isn't free.. lol
If u don't like the service u can get a refund within 30 days, I don't see the problem.
@@frutkovrutko3053 He said it is too expensive for its content. The fact that you don't see the problem doesn't mean others can't see it as well. Also, what does refund have to do with this?
Vision part is ok, but I strongly disaggree with "stay safe".
If in 2v2 you are safe as support and hiding behind your adc - then he is the target and he will not be able to give all his damage. So it doesn't matter if you are alive - you are loosing the team fight by throwing your adc into danger. Tanking few hits, being in the team fight and pressuring opponent by showing that you are here and ready to help - thats the good support qualities, not hiding behind adc playing for your kda.
The examples they gave were situations where it wasn't a clean 2v2 and they were trying to make space for their adc regardless. If your adc is mispositioning you shouldn't sacrifice your own positioning to save them.
Sure, if adc could not be saved - then just save yourself. I'm not suggesting to feed with hopeless adc,but if there is a chance to win the fight (saving mispositioned adc is also a win) then help him with everything you have including valuable resource called health. My point is that half-help when support is always behind is worse then afk, its like pretending that you are actually doing something. This is making adc life much more difficult and could give false impression that you are actually there ready to help. Help or don't.
@@therine8214 I love supports like that as a support who likes long range champs. Just one combo and they are effectively out of the fight because they stepped up. Could not be better. Especially enchanters because once you CC them they are done. Easiest pick in the game pre team fight.
DJ Sona is a paid to lose skin, the music covers a lot of sound effects... Like tower aggro, to name one.
i play Udyr and Kledd support now,i shield and attack and we pow pow all
i want to try also Fiora with Zeke and redempchum for the ult and go wishywosh but people says i am troll
How can I make champions' names display in game instead of players' nicknames?

@ all Soraka players
Luminum's Soraka build is the perfect example of this video.
Shurelya, Swiftness boots, nimbus cloak, celerity, and heal summoner spell all enhance her movespeed from her passive and her survivability. Assassins have so many dashes and mobility that Soraka's needs to be able to kite around a teamfight because she is the priority target.
Stop building moonstone! (unless the enemy team has no engage or way to jump on you)
Why is the challenger just called Japanese import?
I don't hate enchanters because they have a low skill floor, I hate them because they are no fun to play. We are not the same
the community memes on enchanters because women play enchanters
I love playing against enchanters, because I deal so much damage from safety with Xerath support. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Xerath, Brand, Morg, Zyra support until death do us part rest are garbo in solo que
Good god please remove the stock footage, it does nothing for the video
I mean at 06:07, if Sona ulted here, there was a high chance that Lucian could escape
Low probability for a cooldown, I get what he is saying that prioritizing your own safety is more important.
true, but in this *type* of scenario most of the time this person would turn and die instead of saving themselves, so while its true that specifically here it may have been good to do so, if they make a habit of running first then trying to help it will cover most scenarios better than their previous habit would
Probably, probably not. Imo if that Lucian didn't see the obvious threat from ahri, he wouldn't be on bad position in the first place. The risk of not having ult far outweighs the gamble I would take on random adc
Please don't be that Lucian. "I mean" is a giga cliche league term as well. Do your best to avoid it.
I don't think so, no way a sona ult can hit those 3, most damage came from Ahri and there was a shaco trap on the left (very sure that blitz was on cooldown there). That glacial augment was nasty and when the stun ended...it's likely that shaco would've thrown a knife, it's better to try to keep the ult for a return kill
I learned this the hard way, I still lose lol
Well at least in my elo i hate enchanters so much. They suck either way but when the team just needs frontline and heavy cc, dudes pick yuumi or some dumb shit
all of these videos are useless like if you do everything you will still lose always the enemys have smufs and pros and you get brainless teams its just depends on ur luck how you can win while they adc and top is fed and you are mid you cant do anything
Ah yes the pings are my biggest worry for surviving while my teamate dies.... oh nope, it's the pings followed by the verbal bs out of other roles, followed by the ff spam on cooldown and the running it down because "supp didn't peel for me" bro you were dead.
Also maybe teach adcs and such how to survive under their own towers.
Like I can kite and get enemies to at least 10%hp before I die and tower picks them up or they get out with that if it's fizz or Elise etc. But adc just seem to stand there and die, so sad to watch
Ok, so in theory i should be challenger... Got it :D
Sona's been nerfed to the ground and she's especially hard to play in lower ELO (silver, gold). People just don't understand how to properly play around her or expect too much out of her. In higher ELO she might be a bit better balanced (talking about high skill caps). I'm an ex Sona main (Janna, Nami too) and reached D4 several times and seasons, even D3 promos, but that's as far as I could go. But since the meta shifted to shit a couple seasons ago, I can't even get out of gold now, just doing the same stuff, playing in the same way. Too many garbage items have been introduced to the game, also all these new champs with coinflip mechanics, I can't stand LoL anymore. The game used to be extremely fun to play, now I despise it.
Could you give an example of a "coinflip mechanic" champion that was introduced? I'm asking because I genuinely can't think of any.
genuine question what about the opposite, when you know you can win but ur adc is a wuss
Adapt to their playstyle and then abandon them and support the true carry that appears during mid - late game.
Well, playing safe doesnt work in gold, if you do that you are getting flamed and your adc will int. Everytime he dies its obviously supports bad. If you play enchanter, they think you are supposed to play frontline.
Easy. Bad supports exist. Good supports don't. U mad?
In all seriousness, the biggest gap I notice in every game is the support gap. There are supports who ward, position correctly and provide utility. And then there are the bozos that go to waves that haven't even crashed yet and clear them even when it puts them on the other side of the map from the next objective they should be warding. That's the stuff you guys should be talking about.
0:44 what a great play. Worst adc ever lol
No movement abilities? Bard has E + 99% of enchanters have some form of movement increase ability they can use for themselves or the team
İ dont care if 'm a good or bad support, I'm an EKKO SUPPORT. And it works well tbh.
I honestly think sona doesn’t do anything. Everytime someone picks that champ on my team I lose. Why play sons when seraphine or lulu are just better and have actual abilities that interact with the enemy champions.
Sona has 0 lane but can help not lose lane and then offers a lot in the mid and late. Gives allies more dmg for objectives, heals and shields to save their feeding @, movement speed to kite and chase enemies and a good ult. It is a champion to pick when you think your team has worse tfs than the enemies or when you have a losing mid or top lane from the draft. Easy champ as well
she is arguably the best scaling enchanter in the game with just 2 items
idk whenever i play sona my team wins, tbh she feels useless but her poking is very good and healing ends up being very helpful
They are better only early, sona outscales by a margin
She is good if you have a champ that needs to be baby sat much of the early game as ADC. Late game she is great in death ball comps where constantly heal/shielding combines with her ult. Seraphine is good but she doesn't really heal and her strength is more harassing at longer range early. I like both but for different situations. If I know the other team is less mobile or tank heavy I use Seraphine to CC and disrupt engages but if I think my team will have the tanks or less mobility I pick Sona. Later she can counter a lot of poke and harass while helping tanky engages.
i can spot autofilled bad supp from a mile, autos my minions, throws lux E or morgana W into CS, gets hooked by hook champs every time, plays zyra, brand, lux, velkoz or other dmg champs bc he doesn´t know how to play actuall supports , ends up with 10+ deaths.
@@oftensalty the problem is when they fuck up the wave or my CS tempo, they should touch it only when pushing fast or pushing to reset or autoing once under tower for me.
I play Brand a good bit but usually only with ADC I know because of this. If I know some one is aggressive and wants to farm champions/towers early Brand is a good choice. With others if I damage one or 2 minions and it throws off their tempo they get really mad because they are not that aggressive style. There is nothing wrong really with either style it is just personal preference. This is why I ask in champ select if my ADC wants heals or damage or CC in their support. If some one asks for damage and locks in Trist I have a pretty good idea what is coming and I lock in Brand. Games can be won either way just depends on the person.
I think too many people just assume if a Brand W's so one minion gets hit along with a champ then E's the minion to harass more they are automatically wrong. If the other duo can't play the game because of no health that is also a win. You just have to make sure your ADC is on board with how that tempo will look.
Difference is quite simple, good supports are always on enemy team
Hector how much is it to get ya to coach me
