Taric is ok, but this was also below 1400 and nobody realized that taric has burst. Meanwhile my soraka is 80%~ with majority played at gold level. You have to teach me how to play Soraka sometime then, she's my worst support  | ||

Although learning soraka is essentially just picking her in a game, leveling w>e, then clicking on your ad carry. Not much to learn. | ||

If she's full mana, use E to dink some damage. Open W. At levels 3 and 5, if you're winning your lane, max out E first. Otherwise, W to help sustain your AD in lane. Levels 8, 10 or 12, you can get your first level of Q. Starfall is still her best team fight skill because it MR shreds. Max Heal first, 3 points into E at most, max Starfall second, Infuse last. | ||

I'm pretty versed in AD carries so let's assume what AD carry he's gonna play with is irrelevant. I'm bad at support though so I dunno what champion to tell him to learn next. Any suggestions? I figured either Janna/Alistar/Soraka would probably make the most sense. Ideally he'll learn all three of them if he really wants to support. As a jungler, tell him to get good at Janna. A Janna lane is literally impossible to gank... if he can keep his AD up at decent levels and the AD can outharrass their AD you autowin the lane. While not necessarily overpower or anything like that, I really hate playing against enemy janna's. | ||

A GREAT support makes a bad ad carry a god. caveat - 'bad' is relative to other role-aware players. If the player isn't role-aware at all (be it from just being terrible, or from never playing AD), they'll just feed in lane and blame you. | ||

All them aid your AD by improving survivability. Get that done, move on to more niche supports like Leona and Nunu. | ||

How can he not waddle to wherever they turned it down and TURN IT BACK ON? =P Also, holy fuck, that Shyv skin. I want it. Naow. Edit: @our favorite wabbit: I found a stupid bug (feature?). When you sit on 4 items + 1x1 ward and 1x4 wards, you can't pull the single ward over to make the other stack 5 wards. They just switch places. Need to rebuy the solo ward and buy a new one. Real annoying. =( | ||

Don't quite understand how Leona supports either, I've always taken her as a tank that excels at initiating and focusing down specific heroes. Taric has a very balanced kit with auras, healing, and a hard CC, and his ultimate aura is stronger than baron buff at rank 2, nearly twice as strong at rank 3. He really brings teamfights together without having to communicate (his stun's slow projectile speed acts as a signal to teammates that they can move in/do whatever before it even lands), making him shine in solo queue. Since we're on the subject of supports, I'll add that I'm 5-3 with Soraka, 6-3 with Blitz, and 5-0 with Taric in ranked, all games in the 1400-1700 range (I don't think <1400 games require a support). I'd play more support except ...I fucking hate playing support--It feels like the worst thing ever. I don't care if all of those wins were replaced with solo/AD/jungler losses, because I'd have had more fun and gotten practice at those roles as well. But alas, there are only so many creeps on the map, and they are so easy to farm, that a player must take one for the team and deny themselves gold and shiny items, and it might as well be the last-pick. | ||

This is categorically not true - Taric's ult's aura is 15/25/35, it's only his self-effect that's that high (and you get very little use from that). Outside of absolute burst damage, his ult is a worse version of Sona's Q because of uptime considerations. I really like Taric and enjoy playing him, but he really has very little going for him outside of a strong laning phase. e: Seriously, don't play support sub-1400 - all of my support losses are from games where the team score was more than 15 kills in the enemy's favor by 20 minutes, almost all outside of my lane -_-. | ||

Playing at this low ELO is really weird, its gonna be really slow going. Some games feel fine and pretty normal, some games are unbelievable with people ending the game sub30 CS and losing tower as AP sion in under 5 minutes. Just last game some kid locks shaco and plants no boxes in jungle, ganks lanes by charging into lane and then deceiving to chase....like wtf. I went 8-4 Xerath and my team only had 10 kills. Lanes are just so unstable at super low elo, nobody knows how to play safe and every game is just a stomp from one side or the other. | ||

got some stacks and started playing stupidly reckless. Ahh, this game is a lot more entertaining when not playing seriously | ||
