For Mai tips: the fact of solo tanking is just a skill issue,honestly. If you play the meta Mai builds - try not to proc your healdrone as long as you can because it gives your half hp back for the most part and try to timing your w with the enemy autos,specially if they have on-hits alike katja with blood sniper or you can counter literally someone's character like Aya long enough but i honestly recomend a healing factor builds if there any in the populars atm,specially if you solo tanking - it gives consistant amount of enhanced heal and shields while also giving extra stats - while dancing around with your e bating out important enemy skills and ignoring enemy auto attacks with her w she can be even a good solo tank,but you need to get used to it
Priya tip: You're actually probably better off NOT using stasis as a tac skill, she gets a pretty substantial amount of DR during ult, just use heal, barrier or soul stealer to better support your team and mitigate dives on you if you find that to be a problem
@@grubbiez There's so many tiny intricacies with the characters in this game especially when zhonyas is a must buy for like 90% of champs in league so it just kind of makes sense xd
It's a good day to have a long ER video! I'm surprised you didn't include Lenox and Xiukai in the tank section, but then again, you only had room for three and they're all perfect. Also just a few of my 2 cents... Initiating with a W-E-R kidnap combo with Leni is can be a viable strategy and often results in easy kills and is much more reliable than fishing for an R-E stun combo. The reason this can be dangerous is if you're building pure enchantress mode (Elf Dress, Claddagh) which I honestly think players shouldn't. We've had a lot of success building Leni as like an off-tank by rushing Mythril Armor and Commander's Helmet / Astronaut Helmet instead. It gives her the needed chonk to live through an initiation, and since her skills scale off of her level anyway she still manages to heal and shield decently. As for Mai, she definitely can solo tank but it's not as straightforward as other tanks. She kinda needs a few items to get going and her initiation tools also happen to be her peeling tools. It's a fine balance between being a meatshield for your team and going in for an initiation and you'll spend half you time just sponging damage with W. Also, running Quake or Protocol Violation makes her tanking duties much MUCH easier so you can give that a try. Loved this video and can't wait for more!
Ooh looks like a very thorough video! Gonna make a lot of use out of this, especially on Charlotte and Theo who’ve kinda become my default support picks!
Will you finally give Adina a try or is there something else that holding back to put her into any type of support? (Like Adina players themselves? XD I'm honestly surprised that this amount of utility that Adina has it's just ignored and there's no way to become a "character representive" by,you know,being good? That's the reason someone like Leni or Charlotte don't have one in a character discord,because requirements(which is having kills for the most realistic scenario,let's be real,what else is needed? And if you play out of supportive playstyle there's no way you can be in the top of the ranking with good enough winrate) for this is stupid and not for this playstyle or character as a whole)
I absolutely want to give Adina a try, I am not adverse to her at all! I don't think putting her on a support list for new players is the wisest option haha. 🤣
@@chino200msSilvia is literally just switching between two stances and knowing when to engage and when to not. You learn that through trial and error. Adina however is a series of combinations that you have to learn not only what they do and how they interact but they also have to gauge if their current combination is even useful for their present situation. All of this micromanaging while trying to understand build paths and 70+ other characters lol. Adina looks like a textbook compared to Silvia.
@@chino200ms Oh my bad, I thought you were literally asking why Silvia and not Adina. 🤣 Sorry, not trying to be a jerk at all! I appreciate your opinions Chino. 💙
25:15 Theodore does the most damage out of all supps by far. I would say Priya does deceptively good damage though. If you need proof on the Theodore point just go and watch Onecircle play her in pro games. Theo does gross amounts of damage. Good video for beginners though.
IDK about all that. theo can do a solid amount of damage. In lower elos theo does out damage priya, but in higher elos where people are a little more adept that's not the case anymore.

That makes a lot of sense actually, I can't believe I haven't even considered that before! I will have to give it a try, thank you so much. 💙

@@AZWIGG thank you! 💙
*Talks about how Mai is a semi tank that can also support*
Xuikai: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany time now....."
@@Rupture_EX I knowwwww 😭 but the video was so long already!
@@grubbiez Sad cooking noises.
@@Rupture_EX you're right tho, Xiu should have taken the spot for one of the other tanks I said
