How to be a NAUTy Support

Okay, so I've already done a Naut guide, but this time it is about being a Naughty support. Lol get the pun? So if you already read my other guide, you should know how to naut already, but this time it'll be a bit different because it'll be all about cc-ing the enemy ADC. Nautalis is naturally tanky and even his abilities will help you get tankier and even help you cc the enemy adc. As long as you can land your stuff you should win lane.

The first ability you should get should be your Q, so you can hook the enemy ADC when they are out of position then just auto attack them to snare them and have your ADC poke them while they get away. Next you should get your E, so when you pull you can snare them and then use E to slow them if they try to get away in order to help your ADC poke them down more. Then you should get your W, so if you and your ADC decide to go all in you can use your W to get a shield that will help you tank more damage from the enemy bot laners. Lastly you should get your R and put a point in it whenever you can starting at 6. The easiest combo to do is to use your W to get your shield on, then Q your enemy and use your E when they get in range of it, then auto attack them for the snare, then use your E again when they try to get away, then ult in case they flash and cc them some more and let your ADC get the kill, so you can get them fed and they can take down the whole team with your and your team's help.

The first item I get on Nautalis is targons, then sightstone, well the new one that builds from targons and sightstone that lets you ward and gives you 500 health plus health regen. The next item I get is mobi boots because supports should always have mobi boots. I then get Sunfire cape, then Randuin's omen, then Frozen Heart because of the mana. If I need to I'll get an AP item like abyssal Scepter or Rylie's for the health and AP, plus the slow. I usually just build tanky for Nautalis, for sure Warmog's is a must since it helps with your shield. Just build health and armor, unless they're team is more AP, then build more MR items like Banshee's Veil and Spirit Visage. Nautalis is really fun to play and will really help your ADC get fed and win lane, if you play him right,

How to Varus

So, I recently started trying to ADC and I'm okay at it, not my best role, but I can manage. I was recently also gifted a 6300 ip champ, which is one of the most expensive characters, so I decided to use him and thats how I found out that Varus is really fun. Varus is an ADC, but with the new items and such he can also go mid, but this is an ADC guide, so yeah.

Varus's Q shoots an arrow that pierces through multiple enemies dealing less damage after each enemy it hits, it's best to start with this ability because it has amazing poke at level 1, well as long as you land it. Next is his W, which makes his auto attacks stack something kind of like poison on enemies that makes his abilites do more damage to them the more stacks they have on them, stopping at 3. His E shoots an aoe circle that deals physical damage and slows targets, so It's good for keeping enemies in a certain place or stopping them from running away. Lastly his R is a snare that captures an enemy for a couple of seconds and doesn't allow them to do much while snared. when they're snared the best thing to so is use your Q and charge it up for max damage then E when or if they try to get away.

The first item I get on Varus is Essence Reaver for the mana and AD, plus you get more crit chance depending on your cool down reduction. The next item I get is Infinity Edge for the crit and AD that helps the Essence Reaver. Then I get hurricane bow for the attack speed and crit chance. I also get blood thirster, then Lord Dominic's Regards or the other version depending on if the enemy has tanks or not. I'll also get Guardian Angel for the revival. Varus is easy, as long as you can poke and don't get caught out in lane.

Poopy Rework

Okay, so back to top lane champs again lol. This is a guide on Poppy, who just recently got an update in the latest patches. She was so ugly, but now she's so cute and adorable. They also changed her abilities and made her not as OP as she used to be. She can now go jungle or top, even support if you build her right. She has awesome skins, my favorite is probably the Lolipoppy one because she looks exactly like Vanillape from Wreck it Ralph.

Poppy's Q is an aoe ability that hits the ground then after a second or two it hits the enemies in the aoe again dealing percent health damage. Her W passively gives her armor and magic resist, but when activated it blocks an enemy from dashing or rushing into her or allies in the aoe, but it only blocks one so be careful on what you use it on. Her E is a charge where if she knocks an enemy into terrain they get stunned. Her new ult is one of the most troll-est ults in the game because it sends enemies flying back towards their nexus no matter where you hit them on the map. It can hit anything from one to the whole team if positioned right. The main combo is to E the enemy into the wall then Q them while they're stunned and auto attack them until they run away.

The first item you should get on poppy should be the Black Cleaver, then you can build tanky because you'll already have some health and AD built on you. You should get Sunfire Cape, then Spirit Visage/Banshee's Veil for the MR and health. Then you should get the Titanic Hydra for more health and AD. Then get boots for either armor or MR depending on who you're laning against. You can also get the Blood Thirster or BORK for more sustain and AD. Poppy is pretty fun to play with and her ult trolls team fights really well, so have fun with it.

Nami Mami

This is a support guide for one of my favorite supports. Nami who is a mermaid. She's so adorable and is really awesome in lane, Her kit makes the adc have an easy time in lane because she has cc, heals and buffs. I played her through the majority of my preliminary matches in ranked and got my partner in bot lane fed, so we won the majority of our games. Nami made me get to silver 4 and I could've probably gotten a higher rank this season if I kept playing.

Nami's Q is a stun that throws a bubble and stuns the enemies in the air while your adc can just poke them with abilites or basic attacks, it's best to get this one second in lane. The first ability you should get should be her W, because it heals you or an ally then bounces to an enemy and back to you or an ally if you are in range. It's best to hit an enemy with this because it deals damage to them then your adc gets healed and then it goes back to damage their partner in lane. Her next ability is her E, which gives whoever you use it on bonus magic damage for the next 3 basic attacks or couple of seconds. Her ult sends out a tidal wave that knocks up, slows and damages enemies, it also gives your allies double movement speed buff from her passive that gives them movement speed every time you use an ability on them.

The first item you should get is spell thief's edge then build it into the sightstone and blue crystal thing that they just added to the shop. As a support you should get mobi boots for the speed buffs. Then you should get Zeke's Harbinger if your adc is building crit items because it increases their crit chance. next I usually get Frozen Heart for the mana and armor. I also get a MR item like Banner of courage or Crucible. You can also get an AP item or whatever else you think will help your team in the long run. Nami, is kind of complicated to play, but she's really really fun when you get the habg of her and get your adc fed in lane.

Another Mid lane Guide: Morgana

Okay, so like Lux,Morgana is almost exactly the same, but in a way they're different, They both have a snare, aoe ability, and even a shield. I think I prefer Morgana over Lux because of her desing since she is more gothic and dark, and I have a thing for goth chicks, so that explains itself. I also love the Ghost Bride Morgana skin becaus it's like the Corpse Bride version of her because she's all pale and in a torn up wedding dress. Her recall for that skin is also kind of creepy because she groans like she's haunting you and your dreams.

Morgana's kit is exactly the same as Lux's, except for her ult. Her Q is a snare that deals magic damage when it hits an enemy. Her W is what you want to max out first because it is an aoe ability that deals magic damage the longer an enemy is in the area of effect. She puts a circle on the ground that deals damage to enemies. Next is her E, which is her black shield. This shield is awesome because its stops one type of effect from an enemy abilty, such as a slow, stun, etc. the best part is that you can put it on yourself or another team mate who could be carrying the team. Her ultimate is another aoe ability, where enemies inside the radius get latched on to her, but if they get away in time they will not be affected. When they don't make it out in time, the enemies get stunned for a few seconds and are basically defenceless and your team can just jump on the stunned enemy for a kill. the best combo would be to use your ult, then once that stuns wears off use your Q, then your W. if your cool down is low enough you could also just use your w after using your ult so it'll deal more damage or make them have no escape.

The first item I get on Morgana is Rod of Ages because you get the health and mana you need, plus every time you level up, you get some of it restored. After that I'll get the Morellonomicon for the mana regen and grevious wounds. Then I get hourglass because you can use the ability after you ult so you're invincable while your ult goes off and you stun your enemies while they try to kill you and your team mates can get kills. I also get sorcer boots for magic pen. like how you should for all AP champs. I then get Luden's Echo for the aoe proc, and then Deathcap for the AP spike. Morg is kind of the same as Lux, but a little more complicated.

Star Guardian Lux

Today I'll be talking about one of my favorite female characters in the game, which is Lux. She's so cute and is really gorgeous. Her kit is awesome for kiting and she has a Sailor Moon related skin, which is one of the reasons why she is my favorite. Her laugh is also really fun to spam in lane when you kill someone or even to just troll your opponent. I usually play Lux mid or support. This is going to be a mid lane guide to Lux.

Lux's Q is a snare that deals damage to enemies when it hits and stuns them for a couple of seconds, it's best to get this ability at level 2 because if you hit a minion instead of the enemy, it would be a waste of mana. Her W is a shield she gives herself and allies the baton she throws hits, which is great for taking damage from ignite instead of your actual health or even to help a tanky ally get even more shields. Her E is what you max out and use to harass because it is an aoe slow that deals damage when explodes. Her R is a legit lazer beam of light she fires to kill almost everything in it's path since it's such a long range, you can snipe enemies who are almost gonna die from a long way back, it's pretty insane. The main combo

I usually build full AP Lux. The first item I get is Morellonomicon for the mana regen and grevious wounds. Then I get scorer's boots, for magic penetration. Next I get Luden's Echo for the AP and ability is does where the ability will hit 4 other targets if it lands so its more aoe damage for your E and Q. Next, I'll get Deathcap for the AP power spike, then Hourglass for the armor and invincibility for a few seconds. Lastly I'll get Void Staff for more AP and magic penetration. Lux is fairly simple to play, as long as you land your stuns you should win in lane.

How to Renekton

Renekton is one of my favorite champs to play because he is tanky and can dish out a lot of damage. He is fun to play and I like him because of my play style since I love to be really aggressive and harass in lane. He's basically this big crocodile looking guy who is really cool. I have the prehistoric renekton skin because it makes him look like the spinosaurus from Jurassic Park 3. He uses this big scythe type thing like the Klingon in Star Trek, but there's a skin he has where he's a lifeguard and uses the red safety device as his weapon.

Renekton's passive gives him rage after each attack and ability, once he gets to 50 his attacks do bonus effects. His Q is the ability you always want to max out because its an aoe ability that gives you health and depending on how many enemies you hit the more health you get. When enraged, you deal bonus damage and get more health back. Next is his W, which is his stun. It does moderate damage and stuns the enemy for about .75 of a second, but when enraged deals more damage and stuns for double the time. His E is what is mainly used to engage because he dashes to an enemy and if he hits one he gets to dash again. This is used to engage by dashing through minions and then using your W to stun the enemy champ, then Q to get more damage and life back, then just dash out. That's the basic Renek combo. The next ability is his R. His R gives him health back and enlarges him, it also surrounds him with an aoe magic damage circle until his ult goes away, it also gives him constant fury per second. His ult is best used when you're about to die to turn the tables or when going into a 2v1 when being ganked.

The first item i get on Renekton is Sunfire cape, then Spirit Visage. I usually also get randuins omen as one of my last items or Banshee's Veil, depending on the enemy team composition. For AD, I usually get Titanic Hydra because I get more health and AD. I also get the Black Cleaver for the health, AD and cool down reduciton. For boots, i just get merc treads or ninja tabi depending on who I'm fighting in lane. If you need another AD item, you can go blood thirster for more sustain from your attacks and you get a shield. Thats basically all it takes to play Renekton, he's a pretty simple champ.
