Escaping plat as support?
Hi there,
Long story short I made a new account that I decided will be my new main. I am mostly a DPS and tank player and pre 2-2-2 I was an OK support player. I climbed to mid-masters on both tank and DPS on my formerly main account.
On my new account, after a drastic loss streak, I went from 2700 placements (support) to 2400, worked my way up all the way to 2900 and I don’t think I’m stuck there, I see that I’m climbing, but it’s taking me longer than I would like it to.
More specifically:
- I rarely find games uncarriable on tank or DPS, as I can almost always get solo kills with those classes in low ranks. On support however, getting solo kills is next to impossible.
- I am not sure to what degree counterpicking matters on support.
- more generally, I get some teams where my tanks are so inefficient with using my healing (they feed) and my DPS always stand behind walls and in this type of game I am not sure what I can do to win.
Any tips to climb on support? I like to think mechanics-wise I’m mid-masters (I am on DPS after all), but somehow on support I don’t understand my win condition.
