The Support’s Guide to Climbing Low ELO
Many players tend to feel that Support mains struggle to climb in low ELO because of their teammates and their AD Carries being bad. This is definitely an issue that all ELO’s face, but it is not the biggest thing that is holding you back from climbing.

In this Mobalytics guide by PicklePants, we will discuss some ways you can actually carry and win more games as a Support main in low ELO League of Legends.

This will be part of a bigger series so if you’re reading this as a player who mains another role, we’ll have specific articles for all the other roles as well.

Before we begin, let’s clarify what ranks we’re talking about here. Now, you could ask 50 different players off all ranks and ask them what they determine to be high and low ELO.

Some players will say anything below Gold is low ELO, anything below Diamond 2 is low ELO, or anything under top 200 Challenger is low ELO!

In this guide, we’re going to go with anything below or around the lower end of Gold is low ELO, and anything above or around that is high ELO. You may disagree with this statement, but that’s what we’re going with for the context of this guide. If you do disagree, however, that’s okay. Everyone’s definition of what low and high ELO is are different.


Learn what each champion does
Generally speaking, many lower ELO players are new to the game. Most players who pick up League of Legends will finish their placements below Gold. And for newer players, you should do your research on how to play against every bottom lane champion.

This includes how to play against the enemy Support and the ADC. But you should also learn what every champion does in general.

By increasing and widening your knowledge on what every champion does, you will know what to expect from the enemy champion in lane. For example, understanding what each ability does will help you know what tools the enemy has in their arsenal like a dash ability.

While there are tons of things you should try to learn about each champion, it’s good to get the basics down first and no more basic can you get than learning what each ability does. Before diving too heavily into mechanics, trivia, or other things about a champion, make sure you learn what each champion does first.

Start with the champions that we face most often and then work your way down to the champions that you see more rarely. Afterall, metas can change quickly and the unpopular champs of yesterday can become the popular choices of tomorrow.

A good place to get some of this information is through our in-depth LoL champion pages. It’s key to learn what each champion does. You can also go to the counters section to get some tips to learn how to lane against, how to play against, and learn when a champion spikes in-game.

Learn when to trade
Trading and fighting is something lower ELO players tend to do either too much of or not enough of. You’ll tend to see people fight at the wrong time and it always seems to end disaster for them.

Before looking to trade with the enemy, you need to ask yourself some questions and take an overall look at how the game/lane is going. With this, you’ll have a better understanding of how things will play out if you decide to trade.

For example, if you start a fight when you or the ADC doesn’t have a lot of health or mana, your damage output in a trade will be lessened and it may favor the enemy if you decide to trade.

This is why you need to be on the lookout and not constantly fighting the enemy or trading with them. For example, you can count or see if there is a cannon minion in lane before trying to auto-attack the enemy to get more stacks on your warding quest.

Instead of just attacking them willy-nilly, you should hold off from harassing with autos when there is a cannon minion in lane as it will focus you as soon as you auto-attack them. They deal a lot of damage and their damage does add up over time. You can preserve health by not auto-attacking the enemy when there’s a cannon minion in the lane.

Something else you need to think about is what can the enemy do to you if you decide to trade. We all like to harass the enemy in lane, but you need to pick your fights (AKA when you want to harass them) so it doesn’t work against you.
