Blue buff lol

challenger support can't handle the power of a trolling team

"They can't hurt your team if they're all dead." - ancient support adage

"Can you carry bad low elo teams as support?" Yes, but 70% of the time they will stil throw the game by going afk or just inting

As a main support in gold, the amount of time I try to explain to my team to just give up drake (especially cloud drakes) when they know they can't contest it, and then being flamed for not being with my team and essentially dying with them is too damn high

Finally a support focused vid, I can finally stop playing top now

That's why you need the BBQ Leona skin, to feed your adc as much as possible!

Best ending ever. Also shows how some games you just can't win even when doing everything right. Better to just relax and move on.

Players like that Anivia need to be banned

this video is for people with the strongest of minds to win as a support in ranked with a bad team and still lose lmao

I started laughing hysterically at the anivia zac blue buff situation. It's so absurd but the sad part is things like this happen too often in LoL. XD

Yes Hector u was not suposed to curse in our commentary but that e was ***** 😂

The realest representation of solo queue I’ve seen on this channel lol

"Can I carry this team? IF I COULD CARRY THESE GAMES I WOULDN'T BE HERE DISCUSSING IT WITH YA NOW WOULD I?!"

*Put that bad boi to play unranked to challenger as support, the only rule is no duo allowed*

OMG... that was an unexpected (and infuriating) ending, that's the exact reason why I have anger issues. How in the heavens can you play another game after that and not be utterly tilted?

Does hector have a channel or something? he seems so chill

this was the funniest video of skill capped. the cursing and the cow jokes really made me giggle. this type of content and banter like that was lovely.

i think that zac went in at drake at 4:25 because leona was there. If she had backed off then he wouldn't have gone solo, his positioning of leona made zac think that she would be going in too

wow, please make more videos like this informative, funny, asking questions that was great. really good video.

A lot of support videos are with engage supports. Could you do more with enchanters like Soraka who everyone always call useless in low elo?

I am really thankfull to you skill capped for so much great videos, that helped me to grove as a person in this game and in skill. Most thanks for vision stuff videos, because I main support, but League mostly is coinflip. I think that in this video you showed real nature of ranked games, because people just dont try in games and dont try to think. Thats where all tilting stuff and bad experience happens. I had worst experiance in high gold with platinum 4 players in last couple of weeks, that I now prefer to play even with lower skilled player who are worst, but atliest they try more even with first time champs. Attitude towards ranked games will be the reason for me to play this season the last one and switch to sont play station games.

Lulu tried to pull the "naut in the bush with jg back" trick

I appreciate seeing the loss. It's not about the individual wins and losses it's the consistent decision making that will lead to climbing

A few years ago I funded an Elo Boosting team with a couple of friends (all of us diamond players). I was the only one who smurfed as support, and believe or not, I had the highest win/rate among all my smurf friends who played mid, top or jg. Supports are "plays enablers" but also "plays disablers". With this I mean that players will most likely follow your calls and follow up in your plays if they see you are a competent player, but also retreat or cancel bad calls if you are not present or tell them to retreat. I always attributed my high winrate to the ability of boosting my teammate's confidence. Winners mindset does wonders in all ranked levels.

yeah tbh, any one who ever complains about their teammates should probably try queuing up for support and see how that works out for them. The reality is that you are pigeon-holed into giving up farm for someone else, so it makes it infinitely harder to carry, regardless of what champion you're on.

I am actually loving hector he seems so humble and such a relatable person! so close to signing up to skillcap

I LOVE THE DECISION POINTS IN THE VIDEOS!

I was playing a game in diamond 2 and I accidentally took my junglers gromp (it was very late in the game) I was playing nasus and using e to help him clear it faster but he smited and my E burn took it at 1Hp then he proceeded to run it down. Went from an easy win to a loss lol. Some people just have the weakest mental.

I'm happy that i'm doing half of the things on the vid. Not perfectly but, I try me best.

As a support main I can't even count the amount of times teammates get made when I don't dive in with them for a 2v4 or 2v5 lmao it's insane

In the first example with the Kaisa getting chunked out at level 1, which happens a lot to most of the ADCs that I support, the vast majority of them tilt off that. They start blaming you as the support for letting that happen. As if any support a level 1 could have prevented them from being dumb enough to walk forward and be chunked out of lane or even killed. Most of the ADCs I support that have that happen start flaming in all chat about support gap and a good half of them sit in the base after that or run it down completely. In this example the Leona player got lucky their ADC didn't flame, AFK, or run it down. They also got lucky their other lanes were winning and their jungle came over first to help. From my experience, the other lanes start losing and their jungle hard camps bot at that point. Sometimes even their mid or top comes because they can. Then its just 4 or 5 man dives constantly bot to the point I can't play the game. The rest of my team doesn't do anything to punish it either. Wish this was a one off thing, but it isn't. Support in low elo has no agency. When I duo with a friend who is decent enough I can climb very easily even if the person is lesser skilled than me. I prefer soloing because I think duo in soloq shouldn't ever be a thing. Lastly, what the Anivia did by going AFK during that game, that is literally 60%+ of every game I play in soloQ on my support account. Certain times of the day and certain times of the year have that happen more often than not. I literally tallied up thousands of my games for a couple of years to see the pattern so I am not speaking of anecdotes here. I don't know why Riot match making is so piss poor to some accounts. When I do a new account, so long as I don't "smurf" the early games I don't get low quality match ups from the system. My support account hovers from gold to plat most seasons where I have taken many an account playing mid or jungle to diamond to sell those accounts off for profit. I keep the support account as a personal challenge to myself. I can make a new account from level 30 that I bought for cheap to a diamond rank in about a month of playing about 20-30 games a week with a duo partner. It isn't that hard. I sell it for far more than I pay for it. Oh for those out there wondering, I am in my mid 40s, I do that as side cash for fun. I have 3 kids and I am not your typical player of this game. Or maybe I am. Point I am making is support has far less agency in lower elos for carrying and far more agency in higher elos. Jungle and mid have far more agency with mid having the most agency in low elo for carrying. Seriously it is stupid easy to get to at least plat playing mid. Just coordinate with your jungler for ganks, and roam bot for ganks and you win games easy. Jungle at lower elos is harder to carry if every lane is inting from level 1. I've been in games where every lane is literally 0/6 before 7 minutes. There is no helping any lane at that point.

Just to clear this up, if Hector would have played any other role, he would have carried, right? :-)

I like theese kind of videos! More of these please!

dude most of my games is won cuz the enemy support and ADC goes to defend dragon for no reason at all

Finally someone that shares the pain of a support player.

finally I have been waiting for tihs

people like that anivia are the reason why i dont play ranked anymore, why do they have to go afk for the dumbest things, the moment i reach plat elo, i had to endure an avalanche of afk/inters until i just stop having fun with the game, now i only play flex with my bros and do stupid shit

Great video

Best video this year on this channel hahaha

,,Zac took Anivia's bluebuff and she went afk, all the effort that went into this game was completely wasted." - bronze summed up in one sentence

how does it feel ? its pretty much always me babysitting 4 others coz i m nunu and cant do jack shit but support my team.but when ur babies grow it feels worth it. and i do like to dive 1 v 5 for dragons and most often its worth it

Haha, the absolute hilarity of the blue buff steal int. Love it. 😂

2:58 "You are playing an engage support with no one to engage with." (Yeah but instead the chunked adc will blame you for being useless lv 1 while he goes for the trades.) And this is also why enchanters live easier in low elo. They have multiple "modes" as a support and can be a heal and shield bot if needed. They are not on a timer to do anything but as leona, if you have played her, it feels SH*T to fight a teamfight when you are not ahead.

LMAO THAT ENDING!!!

I love hector amazing video

the leona guiding kaisa to farm that jungle camp was so funny with the holy music

0:57 casually one shoting an adc

Reminds me of one time I went Ranked, like one of the only 2 times I tried it solo, I was support Ashe, and we were losing pretty badly except our mid Zed who was carrying like a god, and after a failed surrender, I decided to just support Zed with his kills and objectives, and in the end we won. When one champ carry, you go help them carry as best as you can. It helps that Ashe's attack could slow everyone and I would just spam arrows for extra damage to help Zed. I don't even remember who my adc was but I still remember that Zed, and it was a Bronze game.

Edits are getting better with each video.

that video is so good im in low elo supp good content

The ending had me ROLLING

best skillcapped vod ever

the ending was so random, funny, and accurate. 1 moment in the game mentally breaks anivia and they lose

miss these videos

I think that's why I like support, it's more than just heals and shields and all in. At its core...I'm HELPING my team do better at all stages of the game (I really hate when my team doesn't give/trade objectives we just rather give the enemy team more of a gold lead with forced fights) 💙 POG !!

13:40 the Noc referencing Skillcapped kekw

The intro got me dying 😂

I love that this is the reality for support but people still call the role elo inflated...

HAHAHHAHA, I was just about to say thank you for a great advice for another PoV for supports until Annivia AFK'd lol.

Props to the thumbnail artist on this one.

The Zac make the plot twist interesting

10:18 She dont wanna be saved, dont save her! She dont wanna be saved 🎶

"A worthless team not worth supporting" this... This right here rings so much as a support and mid main.

4:17 Hector enabled his team to make a bad decision : notice how he walks into the river in front of his jungler , giving the impression that he would go in : no warning sign saying do not go , and if he thought they can't contest this he could have gone to the lane and kept farming instead of tiptoeing around the dragon pit which is a very bronze move. "Hey jungler we want you to take this drake , we might even help you crash that party , oh wait, we are actually hanging out lane for fun hahaha"

"if you answered yes, you probably never queued support before" BAAHAHAHa

I like this guy! “Everyone just needs to chill”

Haha I love the ending. Zac acted like a blob of Shh and Anivia chickened out.

It is pretty hard to carry as support lol, one time me and my ADC both had 10:3:10 KDRS and we were 2 levels ahead of everyone else but still lost because the top lane had a bad mu.

If you're a main sp, you should play ap support this patch. They can carry easier than the tank.

Atleast the ending is relatable

Support and adc are like food and the seasoning. The support carries, but without the adc, they aren't nearly as useful. Steak without seasoning is just bland meat, but add some spice to it and it is amazing.

As you could see, even an actual challenger support has no agency over the result of a low rank game if the other lanes decide to feed and grief

Can you guys make a support guide for every support champs

I did not expect the anivia afk for blue at the end oof

The start xD

5:10 did you take the ‘tard wrangler’ concept and make it PG 😂

Didn't expect 06:20 to make me laugh that much but it did

7:23 I get that point, but you could burst if everyone is ready. At that point, it is too late, so I wouldn’t engage there.

As a support main in low elo , I gotta say, ive got the decision making of a challenger and the skills of a bronze v

We all try to take a dragon fight anyway when it's lost because it feels so bad to lose it.

How to deal with 10-0 solo lane at 15 min/ this match stayed fairly close, can you do this challenge with inting teammates

"Yes Hector, you're not suppose to be cursing in our commentaries, but that E was (bleeeeeeep)" 😂 If not for Skill Capped I probably wouldn't even bother with League after the first time I realized how bad I am, but you guys make improving so much more enjoyable, cheers.

Hector is like a big bro I never had

from a low elo perspective I still feel like hector kinda baited his zac into going for the drake

I love the way he says Viego correctly and you can tell it's a v not a w

I hate playing soraka at times. Like right before a big team fight someone 1v1s on my team and expects me to ult. They blame me for dying even if I use my ult correctly to win a major team fight

Lmao the end 💀

4:22 my team would be even mad if i didnt try to go in knowing its just a suicide

Anyone have the link to the cowboy video?

My issue is, wirh other roles you still can split push and try to go for a macro play. As a standard support, enchanter and engage specific, you are more of a multiplier, but X times a Zero is still Zero. In the past i liked to go Janna, because her utility kit work even with no levels, build zz'rot and bamner, set up a sidelane, or even both side lanes with her ms tempo and otherwise try to play around my teammates. Disrupting the enemy teams, help with disengage and try to bind the enemy team, while zz'rot and banner can be used either to depush a lane from the base or push a side lane. The items itself also helped me being tanky and Banner even had some ststs Janna was happy to have. It was not a guaranteed win, but often enough it was enough to stabilize the game and work towards some advantages or plays. I didn't feel utter useless and hopeless with a sad Team as a support.

omfg that anivia is legit one of my teammates in every ranked game I play

Its always crazy to see how emotional people are in-game.. so quick to afk or start flaming.

Nice tipp to think of your mates as cow or apes etc. but what if I want to play with human beeings?

at 11:17 even his voice-line makes questions marks

That Zac XD

6:19 man i laughed so hard tho

"League is so frustrating to the core that is why it is so addicting" Noice 👍😁

does anyone else hear that feint noise in the background around 4:30 and on or am i going crazy

what do you do when adc builds a support Item and goes top?
