his summoners are fine. i dont know why he even got flask though, and whenever you get sightstone you swap trinkets. the rest of the items are kinda up to preference, though some items are better than others

again this is my first time support in about i'd say....3-4 months. so i had no idea how to build or do anything

[Ray88]

flask is fine if it's your first item AND you get an earlier lead, if you dont then you're better off geting a gold item and pots

If he ran tele instead he could have tele'd to wards or creeps and put pressure on the other lanes when they weren't in a team fight.

your main goal as a support is to peel for your adc, not pressure the map with a summoner derp

"Hey tresh we just got out of a teamfight and the carry is basing. You still have a bit of health, go to over to that creep wave and push turret while they're waiting to respawn."

"LOL WOOD V SCRUB I'M SUPPORT ALL I DO IS PEEL PEEL PEEL NO MATTER WHAT".

Fucking uninstall.

I agree with Ray on this one. Beasty, I have never seen a support take tele. Unless they are trolling.
A support can pressure by going mid when the ADC has the wave pushed.

Sounds like Gnar jungle.
Anyway, support isn't as easy as it looks.

Plus I wasn't even talking about supports general, but tank supports like volibear/thresh/braum ect.

Janna/Soraka/Sona will do shit all by themselves, so a tele on a squishy like them isn't what I'm talking about. When you have a tank support like the afformentioned, it helps in a lot if ways, moreso in the late game. If your duo bot has a quite bit of cc (static's game, thresh and jinx, was a great example), then there's no need for an exauhst because you don't need to guarantee early kills anyway. As long as you use the tanks support to bully the lane and ward the riven to watch for ganks, then you essentially make the opposing laners too afraid to really push, which only snowballs further as your carry continues to farm.

Exauhst is useless late game. By comparison, having a support with generally high sustain who can pop up at any turret that is being backdoored by you or by the enemy, you can be a game changer by holding off your lane.

Tele on a support is a situational summoner. It depends on who you are laning with and against. But to say it's pointless is stupid.

"Exauhst is useless late game." exhaust offers 50% damage reduction from whoever it is used on. how is that useless late game? if someone gets hyper fed on the other team, one of the few ways to deal with them is to use exhaust to drop their dps to a level you can deal with. supports arent meant to be split pushers. their main job is to peel for the carries or to help engage/disengage a teamfight. during laning phase you need to help zone the other team to let your adc farm, and to try and setup kills for adc so he/she gets fed. thus a support should run heal/exhaust/ignite and adc should generally run barrier/heal/cleanse. if the adc is running heal the support should not as a general code, because double heal isnt that effective. exhaust is very good for early game fights as well, and early game kills can help late game scaling adcs jump over their slower start and be able to deal with lane bullies, or get to their power curve early and carry the game. generally the split pushing role is left to the adc/top/mid as a split pusher needs to be a powerful duelist to really be able to put pressure on the map.

Gr8 m8, I r8 8/8.
I may have missed some of those points. :P
Double heal USED to work before it was nerfed.
