Most gamers want to go into a match, kill a lot of enemies, and claim glory when they win. Frankly, Supports are the unsung heroes that help the whole team to win. In the game, playing as a support hero means initiating fights and helping the shooter get as many kills as possible so they can continue to extend their game advantage.

In this guide, I will provide you with the best tips about supporting so that you can help your team to win.

1. Pre-Game Support Play

As a support, your main goal is to make sure the ADC doesn't take too much damage. At the start of the game, your ally ADC will be on the bottom line with you, and they will focus on killing minions to gain more money and experience.

At this moment, your job is primarily to take the brunt of any damage done by the enemy ADC. You can use your ability to push or stun players out of the way so that they are stopped from trying to attack you or your ADC.

It is very important not to kill any minions in the early game. You should let your ADC kill minions, as this will help them gain the money they need to defeat other players.

2. Mid-game support play

Once the ADC has gained a few levels off from killing minions, you can start using your abilities to initiate team fights in the bottom lane. All supports in the game have skills that can send enemies flying, stun or push them. Most supports also have shields and weapons that can heal, which can make ADC last longer. 

3. Late game support play

If you follow the tips we listed above, it should help give your ADC an advantage over the enemy ADC.

Once this is done, you can help the ADC push towers. At this point, you can move to other troop lines to help them push towers as well.

As everyone leaves the matchmaking phase, there will be more group fights. As a support, fighting will be your job. This is where technical support is really needed. You will need to be able to use offensive skills on another player to initiate a fight.
