I don't have trouble getting into the mindset even as an assassin main, because I play a lot of Fenrir and Ne Zha support. But I totally agree... even in a game where I was Fenrir and went 1/3/18, I felt happy with a job well done, because I set up virtually all the kills for my team. Guardians are similar, I'm just a dmg fiend so :'D Also, cool story: in Arena the other day, I was Xing Tian (full hp) going after a super low Athena, and a half-health Loki ulted me just to save her, even knowing he couldn't get the kill. I thought that was a really bro move.

Your team mates take priority. As a player who mains support, whenever I end up playing carry nothing frustrates me more then when I die because my support was off chasing a kill. You ARE NOT there to carry your team. You are there to defend and support your team. If it comes down to you getting the kill or saving your carry, save your team mate.

I considered using the word "always" in my comment, but that's the reason why I didn't. Sometimes it's situational, but for the most part I would say that it's not. The reason I commented this was because I'll see tons of support characters ditching their carry-in-peril as they attempt to chase a kill they won't get. I didn't include the fact that there are some exceptions because those same people find themselves challenged when it comes to making judgement calls.

And the biggest thing is just have fun with it, there are so many guardians with cool and fun kits. Once again, nice job Raynday. I enjoyed this video.

i actually wanted to come back to this video because it was the first raynday vid i watched, and let me start off by saying that it ended up having the biggest effect on me. so much so that around the time, i would say late may, i had only just picked up sylvanus as a guardian, and only had about mastery 1 with him. as time has gone on, I've become good at almost every single guardian as well as finally achieving my first diamond with my good old boy sylv. so, thanks raynday for helping me to realize how fun it is to play an (overly) supportive guardian. I've helped numerous teammates coast to victory because I've helped them get into a good position during fights, or when they picked them i was there to back them up and get them out safely. so in short, thank you again raynday for helping me help improve myself and my teams experience in game.

Nice! A good Sylvanus is so much fun. Most humble god in the game I'd say. Mastery 10 here. Pointers: Sylvanus is the ultimate set up god. Land your grab. Step 1: Pod Step 2: grab Step 3: Wisp Step 4: Ult (if you want). Step 5: Profit. Second relic: Blink. Trust me, you will need it for engaging. Blink ults are DEADLY in a team fight. I build damage/hp on him. It keeps his damage viable throughout the whole game while you heal for a tremendous amount. No one ever builds this way. They like to build tanky, leaving him completely worthless in terms of damage output. Items like rod of aclepius, Gem of Isolation, Soul Reaver, Mantle (for cooldown and tons of defense for a single item) and your choice of hp or damage items after, and you can handle almost anything anyone throws at you. You still need to be careful though, as you don't have a lot of defense, but it's enough to survive a tough encounter, heal you and your team up, and go back in. Full build level 20 you have almost 3500 hp with some damage/hp items, and your ult will be doing over 100 dmg per second (150 to those squishy jerks), wisps 40-50. Pods 300-400. Going 17-0 in Clash as Sylvanus was probably my most fun game ever. Give this type of build a try. You will be surprised at how fun it is. It's great for casuals.

So, I had an Arena match as Ymir. Apparently, my Nu Wa starts to tell me to "stop feeding" as a 2/5/19 score while she was 0/2/12. Then I get Kukulkan telling me to "learn how to play Ymir" despite the fact that I have him at rank 2 and not stopping. Oh and Kukulkan complains about me ks'ing when he didn't even hit the supposed ks'ed enemy. Needless to say, I've done some crazy shit like blink + freeze at least 3 people in the enemy team to the point where only enemy Bellona was alive (due to Magi's). In the end we won with 30-something tickets to spare as a 3/8/29 Ymir and Kukulkan said I did well. Long story short, if you faggots haven't played a guardian in your whole life, then don't bother talking shit. I pick them up in solo queue because I want to help my team and win, while you sit there with your hunter glue-ing your finger to your LMB.

Like Raynday said, Guardians can be a thankless job. It's a difficult line to walk with deaths, as you may look like you're feeding, but in reality you're sacrificing yourself so your allies can live. For kill-stealing, try not to worry about it in Arena, as everyone levels up quickly anyway. I've had numerous instances as Ares or Khepri where I do my 1 (Shackle, Lunge) intending to hold the enemy back to help someone get the kill, but end up getting the kill myself. A simple "sorry" can go a long way.

I feel its best just to say sorry and keep moving forward and just watch your teammates and back off when you see them about to land the kill. I normally just try to secure the kill, because sometime i can't rely on my allies....but when I start to edge out their kills, then I back off and just help them. If they can't land anything then I go into baby sitter mode, which is a mode no guardian wants to be in. :/

The worst feeling as a guardian is playing with your friends, give your ass so they can rekt the enemy and they don't realize how I made it possible and get their own ego all the way up :( PS: Raynday, can you re-make your ''Never surrender'' video? It has far less views than all your other videos and maybe it would be a good time to do it again since you probably got a bunch of new viewers recently. People surrender all the time, even when there's still chance.

Yes that's what a good support does, especially in a game mode like clash, conquest, or joust where leveling makes all the difference. If you, for example, set up kills for your Xbalanque adc, you will make him more powerful because of his passive ability and he also will get more gold and XP. Your job as a support is to set kills up when they are available. But if you do happen to steal a kill, don't worry about it.

Being a guardian is quite a task, but it is very rewarding to save someone on the brink of death. Athena ult to someone on the other side of the map, taunt the enemy long enoug for your teammate to dash out, for example. It’s a thankless job, and we usually don’t get praise, but it’s all worth it :)

Good video dude, I've been maining Support since i started the game about 2 years ago and what you say is true - we supporters have a hard time getting recognition, we dont get the kills, we die to save our team membes and to add more frustration we level up slowly too. I just want teams to know how important a good support is. Its also very important as a support to not just help other team members get kills, but also help them survive in a teamfight.

+ppyporpeem to me it depends on the god..if you're playing loki for example he's squishy af but does a shit ton of dmg to all the classes (which is why he's becoming my favorite assassin) so you just wait for the supp to initiate and you follow unless they have an assassin like serquet or another loki that can go invisible I suggest to stay a lil bit back and save the mage or hunter he's targeting If you're playing hun batz u might need to initiate the combat yourself thanks to the huge aoe ult same with thanatos although alot of ppl use his ult to get the instakill I do the complete opposite as an assassin you mainly focus the mages and hunters with no escapes like poseidon and skadi

as a support main I completely agree. a couple things to note: you mentioned it briefly, but youve gotta learn to body block. i cant tell you how many times ive been able to take a hunters shots while mine kills it. youve also gotta be willing to change up your build. I see many new players sticking to one build, and building general defense when the enemy team only has magical gods. you talked about this a little as well, but youve gotta know when to be aggressive. when I end up not playing supp, and our supp doesnt know how to apply the right kind of pressure, either over extends or stays behind the team. that being said, applying pressure is NOT taking unnecessary hits. if they're poking you, and you're not getting anything back, you're doing something wrong

Love these tips man! I've been struggling to get into the guardian role but finally feel i found a good match in Geb. I realized when I play a guardian i really gravitated towards the peeling/bodyblocking side of things instead of initiating. I'm terrible at initiating and definitely have to work on that at some point but finding a guardian that went with what felt most natural to me really helped me get into the role. It has also helped me in other roles. To be more aware of what's happening around me and who is doing what. And I always try and use the guardian mentality on other roles as well. I think the whole guardian mentality is also just a teamwork mentality. What can I do at this time to get my team ahead? Sure that can mean taking out a key target but it can also mean to save my fellow squishy(from loki/ao kuang) by staying near them instead of rushing forward and finishing the kill. Will definitely take these tips into my next matches and see if I can improve my Guardian game.

I would say to add on to the zoning with the threat of your abilities is body blocking. You talked about it but I focus it quite a bit. The presence and act of physically placing yourself in the front line in combination with the threat of your abilities is amazing. Not only are you zoning them without having to use much mana at all but you are conditioning the other team exactly how you want. I currently main Ares and once you condition the other team to keep their distance it's easy for them to forget your blink. You create a thought process that allows tunnel vision and then with unpredictable timing you can give your team 3-5 easy kills. Obviously there are counters but you can limit there effectiveness.

As a heavy support player in Conquest and Clash, the person in my lane or who I am with, I follow them wherever they go. This helps them stay safe in case of a gank and helps them insure what their goal is wherever they are going. Another thing when playing a support is body blocking. Body blocking basic attacks. Body blocking Neith's ults or Thanatos's scythes is a key to keeping your friends alive.

Regarding the warding point: I play League and Smite, and in both I could be called a support main. You're so many kinds of right. After all, dying is bad, and warding is conducive to not dying. Not dying is good, so wards are good, because the entire point of the game is to kill the enemy buildings and not die. This has been an idiot's guide to why warding is good.

Something funny to try: goto arena or clash as Nox find an ally support/warrior and SUPPORT them, they initiate do some damage and you kill anyone trying to chase your guardian. This tactic has resulted in a few of my best Nox plays, allowed the guardian to do really well and they usually really like having someone backing them up witch they really need. Your guardian supports you, the good ones even save you from dying by dying themselves. If you give them the same curtesy your cooperation will result in a much better gaming experience. I mention Nox as an example but I guess most mages have abilities to peel and/or zone for your support and being a mage that usually means a (few) kill(s) for you.

I find that if you like playing an aggressive "in your face" style of support, than Kumba is really good at that. In teamfight situations, you are usually able to charge in head first, cause chaos without even using abilities, and then you wait until the right moment to start using your abilities. You also have a dash that you will hardly ever use when trying to secure kills, so that is your escape if you happen to be at low health. He can also help your ADC wave clear at low levels, (although I usually pick up my 3 first, then a point in 1, then max my 3, then max my 2, and finish off from there.) Like, I mostly play him in arena because arena is what I find most fun, but you literally attract so much attention for just hugging a pillar and running in a circle. I have done nothing but run in circles around a pillar, and my team got the deicide because Kumba is priority fatman. If you get good at landing his abilities, you can dash into their team, mez, prime your root and relocate yourself for maximum effectiveness, and ult if need be. That said, Kumba sort of goes against the mentality of "don't blow your load too early", but to counteract that we have CDR boots, and we build CDR later. You can use your abilities pretty much as much as you want with little to no consequence, and you basically become a massive annoyance for the enemy team. Back when Midas boots were still a thing and Heartward didn't exist, the main build was watcher's gift, midas boots, sov, and that was your core. But now that most of those don't exist, I build CDR boots so that I can do more of what Kumba does best right out of the gate, (although I usually buy watchers if I am playing conquest or some laning game mode), then I build Urchins because you will be setting up a lot of kills if you are doing it right, then Sov + Heartward in whatever order seems most prudent. If you are playing against a lot of healing, buy pestilence, if you are playing against a lot of auto attack damage, buy witchblade. The last 2 slots in your build after boots, urchins, sov+heartward, are available for counterbuilding the enemy team, make sure that you are good at that. Kumba is easy to learn, and I would say that he is high skill cap, what with all the nuances of playing him, but I would totally recommend him to someone learning to transition from the role of a damage dealer to the role of a guardian. He plays roughly the same, but the damage comes from your team rather than yourself. Some final advice, always have teammates with you with practically any guardian. You don't really deal damage, you can CC, but that's about it. (exceptions being stuff like Ymir and Bacchus who do some decent damage). Furthermore, as Kumba, move around unpredictably. Running in a circle around a pillar is a valid strategy if the enemy team is focusing you, it wastes their time. You abilities are rather easy to hit, and you are tanky as heck, so you don't really need to worry about positioning as much, which allows you to move around in weird ways. I find that priming my root, walking behind my enemy into a group of enemies, landing the root, and then hitting my mez is a great setup, because then you have locked down several targets until they take damage, but you still have your ult. Also, Kumba has some of the longest CC in the game. Root, mez, ult, root, mez is a pretty long chain. Use it to your advantage.

One tip I have is let your adc get last hits on minions. By doing this, it will put them ahead and if they prefer to use trans over golden bow (idk why but some people still use trans on hunters) it will give them the extra stacks. As Ray said in this video don't blow off your abilities but try to save them. Ymir is my main and I learned this the hard way many times. If your carry has a good clear, don't bother to help clear. Using Ymir as an example, If your opponent decides to attack you will have your 2 up and ready and you can use this for some extra damage or to slow them. Many times have I used my 2 to clear wave and then all I have up is my 3 to defend against an attack. My tip in summary is use your abilities wisely
