Haha: The Ascent #RankedSupport
Previously I've collaborated with some teammates in Gold III, performing well when matched against similar opponents. I've just started playing League for roughly a month and have reached level 30, earning my runes and securing a solid set of champions. My aim is to climb into the Gold tier or higher through support ranked matches exclusively. I'll keep you informed at each significant milestone and after initial rankings. In my last 20 unranked games, my win percentage was around 80% when using Blitzcrank, Soraka, or Sona. (I'm planning to level up to Thresh and try playing him as well, while also targeting Alistar for strong counterplay against grabbers.) I've been refining my skills with these characters recently, which has improved my positioning and helped solidify my role in the team. Using Jinx has been particularly useful; she's reliable and emphasizes the importance of positioning during laning. Recently, I've played Soraka extensively and even managed a solo turret run against a Lucian and Blitzcrank for 35 minutes because it's fun to see how the team performs without clear vision. I thoroughly enjoy this approach, and Jinx has consistently supported my strategy against ADC-heavy opponents. Support is the role my friends often lack—while I'm strong as an ADC and Mid, I'm focusing on developing support abilities. Generally, support is a versatile role that can significantly impact team success, especially in games where map awareness is crucial. It also scales well since it's less dependent on gold or specific items. Development So Far: On 4/17/2016, I've been playing alongside a few gold-ranked players and doing well, though I haven't started placement yet but expect to soon. I'm focusing on improving my character mastery to better support teammates and complete team compositions. My support roster now includes: Alistar, Blitzcrank, Braum, Janna, Leona, and Soraka.
Running support only in each match feels like using a random number generator. Play Morgana and Brand support and try to advance quickly.
