Support Climbing Guide | Iron-Challenger Meta Analysis

Video Overview & Insights

My honest thoughts on how to climb the ladder a support main.

This is tough to swallow man im an engager support all day. This is why i moonlight top well but this counter picking meta can be too often.

0:00 Intro

Did I get this right, the bot lane is like it is, because all the supports are trying to climb to challenger?!

— @odcat614

0:11 Why support is bad in low ranks

0:46 Why you should play a carry

As a Soraka main in platinum, it’s funny to see people going Brand, Vel and so on into Soraka. Ok they out damage me, but from mid game, utility = 0%, and my heals are stronger than what they deal. I can sustain a ADC in 2v1, or even 3v1 if the 3rd is something pretty immobile that rely on spells such as Karthus, Sylas… with E.
And people still don’t automatically goes for antiheal at this elo yet 😂

4:56 Why its hard to climb as support

Yeah I noticed that in low elo too, I’m a emerald support player but I haven’t played ranked seriously until this year, had to play jg from iron to gold and got to gold in like a month from bronze. Then went to gold I played adc until plat and that’s when I was able to play support

5:26 Masters/Grandmasters/Challenger Analysis

6:00 Challenger Top 10 players

In low elo I absolutely hate heal and barrier during the laning phase as support. If I just stick with Ignite, even when the adc is total ass, it goes a lot smoother.
Anyone else on this? Besides that I have been plat 2 with just Leona and it was great, but when the new season starts and u are in bronze/silver
after placements (wtf is this system even?) it becomes insanely hard regardless if you got EVERYTHING done right.

— @ThatsOurRobert

6:12 Enchanter hot take

6:48 Does champion pick & draft actually matter?

I think mages just get outscaled hard in support. I like to play as Janna, and unless the enemy mage gets really fed in lane, I just feel significantly more useful by default come midgame.

i made it to bronze as a new player as NAMI.. from iron 4 to bronze... it was frustrating to say the least

@melan5232

Vel'Koz is my low elo support mvp

@KurisuKun
@

this helped me better out of low elo than any other guide

@Akabane00
@

Ah yes, Emerald. The rank where you've got Diamond and Silver players in the same lobby and the team with the biggest griefer loses. Sometimes it's even a 4v4 because both teams have a troll each! Love that place

@ThorrorkAirsoft
@

Watched this video queque x2 and proceded to lose two ranks on a row and quit the game

Nice video tho

@maximuslluis

This video helped me so much as a zilean main silver stuck for 4 seasons😊

@maygodguideustohaven

A challenger player going 7-4 in bronze is very eye opening. In a good way, gives a realistic expectation!

@ronaldobrito3607

Can you make a video on how to get out of emerald? Was diamond 4 before emerald.. now cannot get past emerald 4 since the new reduced gains in emerald the game has felt unplayable. i have accounts push into emerald 60%+ wr... to gain 14 lp an lose 22... The accounts end their because lp does not move, while mmr tanks.

Most players start to duo during emerald just due to game quality an skill gaps within the rank. The system will push you forward in current LOL regardless of skill you just need to play the game, this changes once you hit emerald.

Im diamond 1 50lp..3 games and im master, what is advice to get it without loosing XD.. It took me half year to get to this position and i want that master more than ever.

Where is the guide part.

@michealhubbard684

Wow, super importante para mi el detalle del final. Entender que en niveles bajos es mejor intentar uno estar confort frente al equipo es mas importante que complementarlo.
Sinceramente siempre en el momento de pick/ban tengo la idea de que es mejor completar el equipo que estar mas confort.
Thx

I have a positive winrate lose around 30lp and gain around 11lp in gold... how do you fix this I don't understand

Moving paper backgroud is distracting from the guide, it's hard to focus on letters

I love playing nautilus but it is so frustating in this elo 😢

@ggabriela2

Ive been playing support since season 3. My highest rank achived was plat I back when emerald didnt exist and promos were a thing.
I dont consider my self good or even above the average but I have quite an experience playing this roll at least in low elo.
As a otp Thresh it is very anoying playing in low gold or lower because you can do a good impact in the game but it feels kind of random for the game to be won because of the poor decision making of the rest of the team. When I started playing I loved utility champs but I quickly realized it is nearly imposible to climb in low elo with utility. When I hit high plat I start feeling like I can pick champs like janna, nami or lulu.

@workingwork100

I went brand support, took me 2 season and a lot of games but i went from bronze 3-4 to gold 4 currently.

That moving background makes me sick to look at for more than a few seconds.

I hate iron! I just want to get out of this hell 🥲

@Sifundo-q5l
@

I wanted to climb on thresh but soon realized it was gonna be Swain and Morgana until my laner understood how lanterns work

@800aspects2
@

support was the best role for me to climb from iron to gold

@qwerzaip5351
@

"Thresh is a cool champion but you don't have lantern unlocked till silver" this guy knows what he is talking about

@swagsasauge
@

I lost a game where Rell was ADC and Ashe was support, Ashe ended up selling her support item at 20 min. Rell had no support item and my team was way ahead in kills. But because we kept running it down at them and not playing map or turrent objs we lost quite handedly to a 0/7 ashe who was just pushing waves. It's a wakeup call i should probably stop playing support to get out

@JMQA1
@

I dont want to say you are necessarily wrong, but there is definitely a perspective bias going on I think.
Like yes, engage champions on a challenger player are more frustrating / less consistent than self-reliant characters....because you are clearly better than everyone else.
I dont think that is necessarily true for a bronze player playing against bronze players.

@Chief_Master_Guru
@

a lot of players say "play engage supp" when they are in like silver to emerald and literally rage on you if you pick an enchanter
but then when you do eventually play an engage, they will never position correctly, not follow up when they should, don't try to make plays happen over time

its a painful experience

@Lotus-by1lg

Iron king since Autumn 2009. Never been Silver. Bronze on luck with new season. Cool stuff that Support.

@Malishev
@

Definitely nailed why mage supports are broken from iron-plat but start to struggle as you get to emerald. If you’re able to get that 2 item spike early enough, you’re basically as strong as a mid laner. If not, you’re homeless and will get one shot if you’re not completely locked in

@hyperbash

I played mid from bronze to gold and did Vel’Koz support when on secondary. But games on Vel’Koz were so free that I played Vel’Koz to Plat as my primary role with 55% WR. I’m trying to push to emerald but I’m hitting a wall and winning like 50-55% of my games. I think I could hit emerald but would have to really lock in and get lucky

After I hit emerald, I’m unsure if I should go back to playing mid or if I should learn engage and enchanter supps. I know I would struggle on engage supports initially but I feel like they’re more fun. I’m thinking I should learn these supports on a gold smurf because currently if I play anything other than Vel’Koz support at plat+ elo, then I’m trolling

@hyperbash
@

fuck nah gold is total shit fest 5 20 games teammates just go afk

@Music-Overload
@

I feel like alistar, braun and thresh are all amazing low elo supports. I came back from a break in the game. Did only thresh for 8 games and climbed all the way through gold into plat. I was getting bonus for multiple A and S ranks.

lantern doestn exist reliably until diamond

As a bronze 4 support, I hate it here. I was Platinum in 2023, took a break in 2024 and came back this year to be hardstuck bronze because my ADC and JGL are braindead. I main engage supports because I hate having to carry myself with a mage (if I wanted to do that I would go mid) and 99% of the time no matter how good my engage is my team sits there watching me instead of helping.

I started playing league six months ago with my bf, he made me start playing ranked games as soon as I hit lvl 30 so like 4 months ago, and now I’m stuck iron with him bc I play enchanter supports and don’t know enough about the game to change champ now. I’ve tried but I feel like I’m more comfortable with my enchanter support champ.
I love this game but I don’t have enough free time to learn and get better fast enough.
Thank you for those super helpful videos. I’ve been trying to find a video that explains what I’m supposed to do as a support I’m genuinely lost, besides trying to keep my ADC alive I have no clue about timers, wave crashing, freeze, wards and so on. I’m just trying to get better at the game and videos like those help so much.
So thank you. 🌷
