Here's How To Build Your Champion Pool:

thoughts on zilean in low elo? i find him fun but i struggle a LOT to get any success with him. i feel like im bad at setting up and supporting my allies and they dont know how to play around me at all

Is there a good list some where of champion identity? I see things almost too simplified or with like 15 different categories.

What about morgana? im ahving very good wr with morgana can she be in my champion pool as a main?

What game is this

I listened to this video thinking « Ok my fav champions as for now are Tresh - Renata - Rakan… ».
Then I heard « avoid Tresh - Rakan - Renata » 😅

Greetings! I'm new to the game, jungle main, silver 3. I want to play support secondary. I just need a single champion to complement that. Are the champions you mentioned here all good choices? Some of them seem pretty complicated to me.

😎👍🏻

you should probably put in the title that it’s directed for support players dumby

Having played support since I started playing more than 5 years ago, I do find it hard to play other roles well or consistently - gold and kill participation is something I lack when I play other roles or I am too scared to make plays. I would generally play enchanters, do you have any tips for people looking to switch roles after such a long time of playing?

My pool Thresh Blitz Karma🔥🔥🔥

need to start linking this video after my games, some people really need to see this

Janna?

Hi Coach Cupcake! I've just (re)discovered you through the Broken By Concept podcast and have been watching your videos avidly! I had a question in regards to my champ pool, Senna more specifically and off-meta champions. Due to IRL stuff I have only been able to play at the start of this season, reaching p4 in 100 games with a 60% wr. 10 of those games were on adc (I thought of role switching but didn't stick to it. I have played Senna for about 54 games with a 65% win rate and renata glasc 16 games and a 75% wr. As I said 10 games on adc and the remaining games are on a bunch of different champions. Il
1. What do you qualify Senna as, since she is so unique, in terms of learning capacity (aka, does she fall into the playmaking category, which in turn should reduce my champ pool size by 1 or not?)
2. I would like to add an off meta pick into the mix. I have been loving orianna with shurelyas and Lissandra with glacial and mandate + evenshroud. Would you condone or encourage this?
Thank you for your time if you do respond to this.
Thanks for the amazing content!

great video

What if it's off-meta ? I love playing orianna support as an enchantress with shurelya, i climbed from silver to plat 4 and i struggle a bit more now, should i focus on meta enchanter (i also like seraphine enchanter)

hello, can you please tell me how can i book a coaching session?

My pool: Viktor/Orianna/Ryze/Azir

How can i go higher if i enjoy my champion so much, yet i get teammates less intelligent than a rock? Gold ELO garbage can.

Zyra/Leona/Blitzcrank/Nami, I played them for a long time(few seasons) g1-p3, I really like Zyra to get out of hard stuck could I maybe try as you said in the video to add another mage to play with Zyra only till I get to high plat?

What do you tink about this champion pool? Rakan-Thresh-Karma

I'm a bronze-silver player who doesn't touch ranked too often, and I'm starting to become a support main. (coming from mostly jungle). I've been playing a good amount of Rakan lately and he's really fun, and I'm considering Braum as my second option as I love his character so much! Bard is in the running too, he's a blast to play. I'm hoping this isn't a foolish decision in itself, as I tend to have problems sticking to one champ, but I do often find myself coming back to thinking about these three fellas.

I have like 200k mastery on Blitzcrank! Why was he not mentioned??

Hi Coach, thank you for this video.
I like the fact you splited low and high ELO.

I'm a big Tahm Kench enjoyer however I didn't find the build/runes/gameplay that makes him strong.
Like I can't find a good Mythic on him.
To me, Frozen gauntlet works the best but it's way to expensive for a support.

I find the champ weak but we see it regularly in pro play.
So could you also give me advices on how to play him efficiently ?

Thanks !

Hey coach, i noticed that you have never talked about Senna, and didn't even list her in the champion pool. Is it because she is not as viable as others in higher elo? I really love her and enjoy playing her, do u think i can climb out of plat by playing her most of the games?

Great Video! I rly enjoy Renata the most, she and lulu are my best enchanter but I enjoy Renata so much more. Should i invest more time in Renata? Bcs im low Elo and have problems climbing my friend say I should take another enchanter since she is hard to play and understand.

Hi coach!
I really love your videos and found very usefull your tips.
Im start to play support to help my friend and i find really fun playing with alistar, even if is not so in meta 😅
I found difficult to build a decent pool to change around him, im thinking about
Alistar, Rell, Renata but i dont really know if this can be a good ones... and who can be added in this pool to be more various, you have some suggest about?
Thank you very much!
Great content and if you find the time to do a in depth tutorial 4 Alistar will be great!!! 😊
Have a nice day!

Hey Cupcake! Im spanish master player that recently discovered your channel trying to improve with Rell. I love your content and i think would be great if you make a in depth Karma guide! Thank you

Seraphine isn't even an enchanter or support.

Love the video.

I started playing LoL about 10 years ago and I've mained / one-tricked a couple champions (Sona, Janna, Bard,...) at this point. I've also played most supports enough to understand what they do. Because of how much I've played over the years my Champion pool has grown to about 15 support Champions. Despite that I'm still "only" Plat (I could probably get to low Dia if I tried). It may be worth noting that I played enchanter only for the first three years, so I think it makes sense to stick to one class at the start.

I would argue that if u have played the game for a long time its a good idea to slowly grow ur Champ pool regardless of ur Elo. That of course is assuming u like playing different Champions.

If u want to pick up a new Champion and u dont know which one. I suggest trying Champions that are currently strong, because that is going to make it easier for u early on when learning the Champ.

algorithm bip bop

Awesome video cupcake

Any thoughts on Milio for low elo, coach?

When you said avoid playmakers, and my champ pool is Bard, Rakan & Pyke 😎

great explaination! really getting into support lately, since mid lane is always so popular. you help me fall in love with my new role :D

How come there was no talk of senna? As a relatively inexperienced player and new to support I really enjoy her.

Cupcake: Play the champs you enjoy most and have most mastery over
Me: great, ill play rell, rakan and renata.
Cupcake: Oh btw you should avoid rakan and renata
Me: * confusion *

Thanks for this video! I started playing support this year and got from bronze to gold while OTPing Bard but I've been getting bored recently and can't decide on which champions to pick, I usually like to play Rakan and Thresh but I find it extremely difficult to get something done with playmakers. I am slowly trying to switch to Taric and enchanters and having great success with them!

Love your videos, they're always so helpful and informative

Me watching this video:
Champ pool when I joined (Rakan, Thresh, Renata). Hah.

In past season I was an enchantress supp main because I know and enjoy playing them. In this season I expanded my champion pool and adding some classes. Right now I play my top 5 champs Renata, Senna, Rakan, Bard, Rell with >50% win rate and I'm currently Master two-digit LP in SEA server.

Great timing on this video for me! I started out playing Supp just to help my friends fill but really enjoyed the roll. I decided it would be best to pick a main early on to learn the game, but ended up going with thresh all the way to mastery 7 over the past month or so. I've definitely been meaning to switch up who I play since I can tell I often don't have the proper knowledge to fully unlock Thresh's potential, and am definitely lacking in some more basic knowledge, so this video will be a big help in picking my 1/2 new mains, especially since I hit level 30 a week ago. Thanks for the amazing videos as always!

Big Coach Cupcake Tahm Kench Extraordinaire back at it again with the fire video.

First of all love your vids
Second I’m currently silver and I’ve been testing out a number of uncommmon supports like Fiddlesticks with comet or First strike maxing Q and rushing zhonyas

and Volidbear with Comet maxing E first, rushing rod of ages

I’m really curious about your opinion on this. You think these are decent picks in low elo or just there to tilt your team?
If you think this is a dumb question or thing please ignore

Hey thx for this super usefull video. I'm in low elo, i highly love thresh and rakan, and i play them since few years. You don't recommand to play these 2 champs cause they are difficult. Should i keep playing them (for the 10/10 enjoyment and 9/10 mastery and pool size) or you think it's better to swap into more simple champ ?
If keep playing thresh/rakan is ok, what advice can you give for a low elo player who play complex champions ?

Few days ago i asked a proplayer wich champs should i master if i want to be a good support and his recommendations were: thresh, lulu, rakan, karma and leona or nauti. Since then i dont play other champs, my main were thresh luluand i recognise that rakan is hard to understand but i think thatbif i stuck to this 6 champs pool i will improve over the time. Thanks for your videos.

Masterclass as always, that's my coach! At the beginning of the season I made a champ pool of rell, sona, and renata trying to be very general. As you can guess since im low plat this did cause problems, but I was able to notice a lot about my play. I rarely played renata due to her clunkiness and was unwilling atm to put in the work to smooth her out, and I got bored of playing sona and eventually basically just became a rell one trick lol. I've peaked so far in about 50ish lp in p2 but am currently low p3, so I'll consider myself low elo. I have been wanting to change my pool out for weeks and I guess this is the sign to do it! I will play two champions from the same class being engager since it seems thats what I like the most, so rell and leona/rakan/naut (I know you advised against rakan but he is my most played champ of all time) so thanks for the vid and hopefully you'll be hearing about my successes in the discord soon!

How to build a champion pool: Tahm Kench. You are done 😊

Thanks for your insight, great video as always! I'm low-elo support main, but my mains are Rakan and Rell (with Rakan being most mastered). I see you don't recommend him for low elo, but I enjoy playing him so much, and mostly I'm playing with him better then any other champ (sometimes switching to Rell if my adc love to all-in, like Draven or Samira). Thanks for your work! ❤

In low elo when you say meta doesn't matter does this mean we can play off meta supports? For example I love pantheon but he's not really a "meta" support. Would he be a bad pick for low elo if I have high enjoyment on him?
