build a wits end for your last item it has natural synergy with nautilus shield with the attack speed and the leeching of MR makes your attacks hit harderArrgytehpirate posted:What should my last item be? post your build

I'm gonna give Blitz/Janna/others a try in some normals to get some depth to my roster. the issue with sunfire last is not that sunfire is a bad item on nautilus, it is that by the time you get it the amount of damage it does is largely irrelevant. a randuins would be much better for the CC, and also in another game i noticed you built sunfire rather than getting 40% CDR. 40¤ CDR is way more important than like 40 magic damage per second, being reduced heavily because your build does not have abyssal scepter.

I'll watch these when I get home, might be a bit since in waiting on pc parts and then I have to put it all together so it might be closer to late night. However, if you are in bronze I would definitely recommend any role other than bronze. It's totally a fine role gold and up, but anything lower than gold v (and even most of gold) you are not going to be a good enough support to single handedly carry games unless your lane partner is a smurf or something.

Someone coach me. I am stupid and convinced I can outplay everyone at my own elo, which is true but ends up with that mother fucker the jungler ganking me. Which is bullshit. I'm like 80% against my lane opponent and like 10% against the jungler. The rest of the time I kill them both but that's not always viable.

Arrgytehpirate posted:Why would I buy a pink ward unless I'm facing someone like Akali or Shaco? They are visible and I already have three wards from Sightstone. Also, Eye of the Equinox is pretty much always better than FotM, so you should have 4 wards! And that gives you an extra slot for pinks late. And yeah, especially as Naut denying vision is huge. Also, hard to take objectives when they have vision! In a 30 minute game you placed 14 wards and killed 5, bought no pinks etc. As a point of comparison, in a similar length game, I generally place closer to 40 wards and deny ~10 or 15, just at a plat level. You should always be placing wards to prep for objectives mid/late, and during lane you should be warding your lane, the dragon when necessary, and coordinate with your solo/jg to ward mid as well. Some things to do with pinks: 1) on blue side during lane, but them in your tri, closer to your tower. When the enemy contests the pink, call your jungler (basically, if they spot it) and have them gank for free kills. 2) ward the bush to the side of your mid laner, between mid and bot, to give them free roams (in conjunction with sweeping river) and protect them from ganks. 3) ward dragon/baron so that the enemy team doesn't know if you're doing it, so you can either take it safely or so you can stack in a bush and bait them in. 4) drop one in a lane bush so that your jungler can sneak in and gank from lane for you 5) drop it in a bush near mid so you can roam up 6) place it in approaches to objectives, especially the bush over dragon wall, over baron wall, and the banana bush so that your opponents can't get to them safely. and so on and so forth! Pink wards are incredibly powerful, and you should be buying them every back. At the end of the day, a 6th support item late game is going to make a lot less of a difference than getting the initiative and being able to burst someone from fog of war (especially as Naut or blitz). In general with warding you want to be getting deep wards into the enemy jungle to facilitate invades/tower pushes and catch people in the jungle as they rotate from one lane to another, as well as warding defensively and to give your team a vision line as they push. Wards are absolutely an offensive tool as well as defensive, especially when you're playing a support with strong pick like Naut or Blitz. I've got half an hour free, so I'll look over your replay real quick and see if I can give some feedback. Support's really fun imo, and it's how I climbed out of silver way back when! It's also a role that changes a lot as you learn more about the game and get better, and figure out roam timings/how to play the macro game, on top of fighting and what not. A lot of responsibility/cooperation required, but played well you can really have an enormous impact.

Ok maybe this is an ~unpopular opinion~ but I don't think any amount of warding is going to help in bronze because most players that low don't know how to react to movement they see on the map

The thing is, they don't see it. Even if you removed the fog of war completely for them, they wouldn't bother looking at it. You are vastly overestimating the ability of true bronze players.

Wards are extremely useful if just for keeping your own rear end alive. Rather than worrying about the pubbies not seeing it worry about your own vision and control.

This is sound advice. Also if you want to play support in bronze, I recommend a mage support that has some fighting power on their own Or Janna. Chances are in your elo if you just auto the enemy adc you'll do more damage in a game than your adc. So play Bard is basically what I'm saying.
