~SPONSOR~ If you're looking for a fun game to pass the time try out Clash Royale (that is if you haven't already LOL) using my link - wehy.pe/y/2/Vars

As far as I am concerned the five roles in league of legends are: Top, Mid, ADC, Support and Scapegoat.

You forgot the Draven role, Vars. It is a difficult role. You have to donate 10000 gold to the enemy team by going 0/20.

As a Bot main, my biggest advice is play support occasionally and actually commit to doing well. You’ll end up improving your mental game and synergy, because you’ll understand the mindset and thought process of a support player.

Its funny how every role complains that their one is hard and all others are easy

As a former support who switched to adc, i always tell the support when they are doing a good job. This actually makes them even better and boosts morale XD on the other hand i flip out when i have an autofilled one who plays like a top laner ....

As a Jungle main, the teammates I honor the most are support players. if you have a good one the game can feel like such a breeze to play. Today I had a Talon mid pentakilling the enemy team and just hunting them down, but it was the support who always responded to objective calls and helped me actually take over the map while ADC and mid went on their next hunt for more kills without accomplishing anything else

You might wanna make a video on WHY all the laners are in their respective lanes - - the whole philosofy of an ADC needing babysitting, dragon location etc. is a whole discussion on its own

You forgot the most underrated role River shen

You forgot to say something about things adc must do : fear everything that is not your team color

I noticed you forgot to mention the jungle subrole of Warwick where you do whatever you want and profit

As a support main I dont really want recognition but when that rare adc thanks me for protecting them troughout the game its just pure childish joy. Thank your supports people they literally babysit you until you can do things on your own and are still there to help if you mess up (talking about actual good supports here).

As a support player, there is nothing more satisfying as watching people win games because of things you did. It's why playing Bard is semi addicting because mystical journey is the encapsulation of "I set things up".

I think, the main reason, why so few people appreciate a good support, is because, as long as it‘s not a carry support or an ap support, that deals a lot of damage himself or a engage support who just sets up crazy kills no one could get normally, you don‘t really notice them, as long as they‘re doing their job right. You don‘t notice a 0/3/6 Sona who prevented you from dying 8 times and prevented several ganks by warding. You only notice dying 8 times and getting tanked constantly because you have no vision.

I love how you explained that every role is important and gave reasons as to why supp and jg are objectively the hardest and people still try to argue about them being easy

You forgot the most important role , the flamer

As a support player i feel like support/jg player i feel sup is the easiest to play but most difficult to play correctly, and that this is where the controversy comes from. You can have a new player and literally tell them what ability to cast on you when you want it and technically they're still playing the support role to a bare minimum, but actually supporting properly is so much more difficult. Like the mental gymnastics on whether you're safe to set up vision in an area bcs of your jg/mid matchup... whether the adc matchup means the enemy shoves the wave so fast ur adc gets dived so u cant roam... Who needs a renata save or thresh lantern more than everyone else. Then sometimes its just so demoralizing to see the flak u get after working so hard for someone else to get to carry. In short be nicer to the support players, unless theyre autofilled top laners playing sett or pantheon.

Im liking the generally informative type of video. Maybe you could make a series where you talk about individual champions and their place in the meta?

No way he got a clash royale sponsor that's crazy

9:37 Elise got a really great flash prediction.

Summary Top- Pressure Jg- roaming and getting objectives Mid- stabbility Adc- damage Support-control

This needs to be shown to everyone starting League (or any MOBA for that matter).

I'd love an in depth analysis of each lane. What makes a good champ work there by analyzing the established ones and therefore try to search for parameters on what makes an offmeta champ work there. You can also analyse things like heimer sup that became meta and try to establish a pattern

I love how you explain the four different roles of jg, finally people can understand what type of jg they have on their team or enemy team

My role is the hardest, and everyone always flames my role for the thing that they think is my responsibility, but it's actually everyone's responsibility for doing the thing that you think my role should do.

It's funny how a good team always has a better support yet no one appreciates them. Depending on what support they are either A. the teams lifeline (shielders/healers) or B. Holds so much psychological pressure (tanks/catchers/hookers) or C. The ones who farmed under there ADC/APC and became the carry itself. Arguably the most of not the 2nd most important role in the game. (mostly junglers are the most important role)

The thumbnail is giving me old vars vibes and i love it.

"The support must be the most thankless role in the game" My man never babysitted a lane as a jungler only for said laner to still turn it around and feed their asses off and proceed to flame his own jungler claiming jug diff even when he has 5/3/3 jungler compared to enemy 1/3/3 one.

A half-joking, half-serious summary of *.* *.* *.* League in 2023: Top: A role that you either get stomped in and don't play the game or you get so far ahead you can straight 1v3 maybe even 1v4 in most elos in mid-late game. Whether or not the fed enemy toplaner is winning the game for their team may or may not be your fault but in actuality your team will always think the the former! Mid: The role that imo gets the most agency in the game in terms of roaming but also usually gets ganked the most by junglers who wanna grab a kill while passing by the middle of the map. Many classes here get fucked by the meta in the regular Jungle: The most polarizing role in the game and the most impactful one. You may be wielder of all tactics but regardless of the truth, usually you are called the master of none! You are either the "jg diff" guy or the jungler who can carry a game single-handedly with this being the only role that's able to do so. Also, apparently, Riot's foster child the past few seasons with it getting increasingly more and more buffed every new season. Adc: Ever wondered how it feels to be useless in front of literally any other enemy laner if they have even a 600 gold lead despite it being a 1v2? Well this role is for *you* ! You get the privilege of getting ganked constantly and sometimes even those weird breakable pink wards that usually give you a small chance to survive can't help you! But hey, at least you're playing the "adc carry" right? You are sure to carry this game in 30 minutes right? Support: You can choose to play the "play perfectly and still get stomped" or the "actually have a semblance of visible game impact" classes . Which classes you ask? *Well* you see every few months Riot spins a wheel to decide that! If your class gets chosen, good for you! If not you get the incredible opportunity to experience what it is like to play a game while feeling like a spectator to it! So much so that, these days, your teammates won't even bother reminding you of the fabled "supp gap" cause you are so -forgettable- formidable! *In all seriousness though, the game has gotten more and more polarizing the past few years. The metas are getting so powerful that even OTPs are starting to quit their champs cause complete mastery of both macro and micro and knowing every single mechanic of their champs inside and out isn't enough to close the gap between them and the guy who picked the meta champs and got 1 kill in early*

Man, this has nothing to do with the video (I barely watched ten seconds of it) but there's something I wanted to say for a long time now: your choice on music is always great, man. That one time you used the OST from pokémon conquest? Just perfect. Congratulations on the nice taste, and keep it up! Also, the videos are always nice, you quickly became one of my favorite youtubers because I love game analysis on a game design perspective, and your thoughts are always appreciated ^^

This is actually very helpful. Particularly jungle’s roles helps in understanding what junglers do beyond simply just ganks. In low elo some people just talk about ganks the whole time without really acknowledging the other types. I used to play a lot of adc but now I am not only hoping to diversify my champion pool in that lane and otherwise, but also learn how to play the other roles more properly. I have actually been drifting towards support in a way because after having taken a break and watching higher elo in the meantime, I learned more about the importance of vision and how to properly use it. In the right situations, support can essentially be a team leader, in high elo they oftentimes roam super hard as well acting like a mini jungler in some cases (rakan or thresh being the biggest ones) It will be interesting to see what I most gravitate to especially with how fun yasuo has felt given that he meshes perfectly with my playstyle. Bot lane is a role I am still consistent in given its simplicity and Tristana works great for applying macro pressure between fights late game as well.

In my experience most roles aren't really understood. I always honor good supports. My main role is ADC (the most useless role in the game) and without a good support, life is hard. But no matter if i can carry the team or not, i will use every ability and move i can make to support the whole team. ADC is a responsibility, you gotta be careful, you gotta watch out and you gotta take care of your support and LISTEN to his warnings. (Never get in the way of two supports who fight over a ward. Just don't do it.) So at least you can say you did everything you could while the whole enemy team (excluding toplaner) will turret-dive you the first 15 minutes.

As someone who mainly plays jungle, I know that it is the most impactful role since I can see which lane would has the most result when I gank them. I occasionally play support and can recognize a good support when I play ADCs. Nowadays, Im playing Top which is reliant mostly on how I will play and has the most varied matchups. I do notice that most players hate the Support and Jungle role when I try autofilling for a couple of games. Im fine with both roles so I dont see why people dont like the babysitter role

Top: 😡 Jungle: 😴 Mid: 🤒 Bot: 💀 Support: 😎

as a support player i feel better now

Honestly, I think top lane is probably the most skill expressive lane in the game. Other lanes get ganks all the time but top is like a gladiator arena that makes you want to bash your head in

Love the colors used in this vid!

This is a great video for people who still haven’t found their preferred lane.

Excellent video. I've seen one other like this from someone else long time ago; this was a little more in-depth. I've heard it talked about as three class before. I like playing Wild Rift and sup is my main (jg second). Lux got me to Masters. Lulu got me to diamond. Those are probably my two favorite champs. Waiting for Swain to come. I will have a better idea of what to do thanks to this video. Peace, Brother.

I stopped playing support bc 80% of the time adc was blaming me for being supid, bc i was either roaming, helping jingler or playing defensively when enemy had an advantage. Adc kept dying and it was of course my fault. When everything went smoothly almost no one appreciated my role

TOP: Pressure JG: Open ended (Farmer, Predator, Ganker, Control) Roaming. MID: Priority ADC: Damage SUP: Support the team

My tip for ranking up as a support player, stay away from engage supporter in solo queue. Enchanters, damage supporters, and pick supporters are more consistent. Things like Alistair, Leona and nautilus are great but the problem is you must completely rely on your team to back you up. So many times will you engage as a support and be left for dead. Roles where you can exert your pressure while maintain the ability to bail out if far more consistent. Much easier to win backing up your teams then trusting your team to back you up.

Really appreciate this video, exactly what I was l looking for as a lol newbie

With the revent adc changes the power level of adc's had generally gone up making them statistically one of the highest impact roles in the game. Although they often feel the complete opposite for many, bot lane is indeed a very, very powerful role.

I only complain about mid because of how many champions can just play that lane, sometimes it feels that if you do not abuse some champs you feel helpless and get flamed when you are put behind against Tristana midland etc

the pick a god and pray reference was not lost on me, top 1 fire emblem quote of all time

what font do you use for the role titles it looks hella cool especially how the "M" is written

so basically supports are the most important part of the team. got it!

As a top laner, i felt the its "one thing for sure is not top lane" comment. Like riot consistently nerfing top laners while the lowest percentage of the top 100 on euw are top laners like let us breath bro. It definitely has the lowest carry potential.

very informative and well explained.

I'm main top bc is piss easy, even if I loose I'm still chilling and losing games is not as heartbreaking as other lanes. Now, jg is stupidly hard bc you need to play for 4 other people and avoid 5 other people for the whole game, and it's just extremely stressful. Adc is a piss poor experience when you soloq, bc no one ensures a good support, and when a support is good you REALLY notice it. Also, the mechanical skill to properly kite and position yourself is carpal tunnel inducing. Mid's kinda chill. If bot sucks, you help em and get cash, same with top. The only deal is that the champs played in mid are all scuttlebugs with 18 dashes. Sup is jail.

Support life since season 1 I was playing with friends and i got to play support ever since then i just stayed support it's nice when the adc says gj and ppl thank you 😊😊

Who do you main in league?

as someone relatively inexperianced (played for a long time but mostly aram and took long breaks) with the game trying to main/learn support first feels difficult. if you dont play tank/engage sup everyone and their dog 1 shots you and if you play a tankier sup when you engage no matter how good/well timed it felt i usually get ccd and die or bursted down and die and be lik wtf ADC. i like the kits of thresh, nami, naut, braum, blitz and soraka

Everyone: Each role is hard. Me playing nasus on my little island that is top lane: Nah it's easy up here we take life from the calm side

How do you make the map nighttime or all dark looking and cool like that

I played all 5 roles to EUW master 600LP. Things I learned are: -Bot laners are all trash and brainless, easiest to win with. -Mid lane is annoying because either you don't play the correct champs or you're getting 1v3ed all the time. -Jungle is the best to get free LP but it's taxing and not fun at all since you're not laning and you're just trying to outsmart the enemy jg. -And there is the one... the most aids role in the game. Top. You either counterpick or get counterpicked, you either get camped or your opponent gets camped, you play a carry champ or hope your bot is human. Even if you win ur lane while getting counterpicked and 1v2 all game bot laners will still find a way to go 0/20 on strongside and lose every dragon. So role rating is jg>adc>supp>mid>-------------------------------------- big gap------------------------------------->top

i have a question, whats the reason for "i dont make guides videos"? i mean i dont mind watching a series of "Why you should play " couched by vars , some kind of discussion like for what is the champion strong or stuff ,it ll be nice for the "why no one plays champs " SO YOU SHOULD CONSIDER maybe in the future

Oooh i remember the good old days, going blitz with duo top before jungle was a settled thing. All my friends loved me since i was actually supporting my team, a rare thing to see back in those days. Good times.

"Supports are either aggresive or defencive" Me - Who plays Sona so aggrecive that I often solo kill/force out of lane the enemy ADC because I won't stop poking them

i see the support get honoured and encouraged the most out of the roles. if the support doesn't actively int they are getting always an honour from someone normally the adc and if they do 1 good thing in a match like a 3 man nami ult then it's the whole team honouring them while other roles like top and jungle and do the same and it's just them doing their job which is weird cause it goes the opposite for saving a teammates life. if shen ults to save someone their a legend but a janna flashing to shield and heal you while stunning an enemy isn't worth noting. i think enchanters are the most thankless class along with tanks, more vanguards then wardens. the amount of times i have hit a 3 or 4 man ult as Ornn but no one causes but when the pyke presses r 4 times their a god. same with destroying people as ivern but means nothing when the yas just right clicked on them while i spoon fed him and kept him alive, he'll get the prays. anyways mid is probs the most gushed over role while top and supports are the least but supports get praised for existing ok most of the time so it's not too bad for em.

The aesthetic of this video is so cool

Hecarim is Also a Farmer JG. I love Ur vídeos, It makes League Fun by descomplicating things

This makes me wonder: why is lane distribution so stale in LoL? Why don't we see tri-lanes, 2-1-2, 1-2-2, roamers, etc.? My theory: perhaps because champions scale exponentially, it's not worth sacrificing safe farm for early pressure. Tell me if I'm stupid.

Never been a fan of how unflexible and enforced League roles are, never allowing for emergent metas like double jungling, duo top, or even trilane

Everyone knows the most important roll is the shaco teemo bot lane, like how can anything else compare, the clown and the not literal clown just trolling their hearts into a vic

Recognizing supports impact is so sick, ty

CLASH ROYALE??? This man made it.

This was great! How do I mod my map like this? 😮

Yo what was the music used in this video?

There was a point in time where I have committed myself to plan all five roles because I had no Champion or playstyle that fit me well in the beginning. Top and jungle have currently become my weakest roles, while support has become my strongest. Thanks to that I can at least play at a mediocre level at each role, and at least know how everyone else would play at any given time. My advice to everyone is to give each role of shot even if you're extremely bad at it just so you know how it's supposed to work. It's really humbled me even as an iron player

I wish I had this video when I was new! Every video about the roles just explain the classes not the actual ROLE in the game.

I feel like I get my props playing support. If I play well, most of my team recognizes it because the things I do impact what they do. I tend to play champs that have very obvious "big play" ability. Like, if I'm playing Morgana, everyone knows when I land the q to shut down their snowballing hypercarry. The only people who flame me when I'm not playing great are people who are also playing poorly to cope with their own failures. I think a lot of people flame supports who are way too passive.

12:45 I think a huge reason Support goes thankless is because everyone KNOWS it has a lot of impact like Jungle, and like jungle, its easy to see when they aren't doing much, but people who dont play support or understand fully how "those stupid e-girl" champs work can't tell when theyre actually doing so much, especially when theyre meta. A well timed shield, a crucial polly, or a nasty heal goes relatively unnoticed because people just assume enchanter is "hit button win game" when its more intricate than a reddit wholesome "OOOO BIG ENGANGE NAUT LANDED HIS REFRIGERATOR SIZED HOOK"

Congrats on your new sponsor. Im legit surprised

How do i make my league look like yours, I love the color palette!

The way you talked about my role (support) warms my heart immensely. Are you Braum's long lost twin?

Fire emblem three houses ost in the background?

Anyone know whats the music name?

Playing for a little over a year now.. or is it 2? Either way, wish I had had this when I was first starting off, heck it was helpful even now.

I have played this game for years most the time as tank top main but I have been mid and jg as well I will says this during half the metas being a tank top your team thinks of you as second support all kills from ganks need to go to the jg die for a good teamfight and be on shifts with your support on babysitting your adc so I view supports as colleges

Bro, how does your league look that good? what mod do you use?

I'm a midlaner and occasionally support, but it's because I enjoy playing mage champions.

As an ADC main I always appreciate a good support and jungle. It's absolutely orgasmic when a support saves you from dying/engages at the perfect time, or a jungle who knows what they're doing. If they're good I'll literally do WHATEVER they want. They need help with dragon? I'll be there in a second!! They want to group up! I'll follow! ADC is probably the least impactful role while also having the absolute least agency. I'll follow good players like a dog.

Anyone else thought the music in the background sounded a bit like the music from the LOTR movies?

If a team loses before 15 minutes, it's probably a lane diff. If a team loses after 15 minutes, it's probably a Support diff. Where Supports shine is when both teams are evenly matched, so that it's their peels, their engages or their vision that swings the match. It's frustrating to be Support when your team has decided to FF and run it down and your top/mid is going 0/6. You can't support a team that doesn't want to be supported.

Insane that you got clash royale and supercell to sponsor you

ah yes, music from three houses. Love to hear it

The 9:37 flash prediction tho👀

I wish there were more roles

"The support must be the most thankless role in the game" My man did you ever witness 8 people claiming jungle diff? And of course 4 of them being in direct opposition with the other 4 in their claims?

I feel like hecarim is sort of mischaracterized as a ganker. He is really good at ganking, but having 7+ cs per min is also really important for him to function well. His clear is a very important part of playing him.

Vars a way better tutorial than what Riot has xD

Who is this new guy clash royale, never heard of them

What's that map skin?

Support is a rough thing, I'm a tanky support player. I enjoy Leo, Naut, and so on. But I also try to get juusssttt enough damage, usually one damage item, so I'm not completely reliant on my ADC if they got no self preservation instincts. My main advice to any support...be supportive, but don't be dependent.

Jungle: the one that is always to blame.

Another big issue with noone beeing willing to play support is that people pick "support" champions instead, like swain who just takes all the adcs kills and becomes a midgame meanace that screws over his teams late game.

14:12 pyke mains: 👁️👄👁️

Vars is a support main confirmed.
