Tips and tricks in playing support
Always ward the river. As a support player, it is your job to always have the river warded when your lane is ex posed. I say when your lane is exposed because if your lane is being pushed there is no threat of a river gank. This means dragon should be warded buy tri-bush can go without a ward. You will want to conserve your ward so you can use it latter in the game.
Counter dragon wards with pink wards. Pink wards allow vision and the ability to kill enemy wards. This will not only give your team control over dragon, but it will also blind them to ganks by your jungler. If the enemy goes back and buys a pink ward to kill yours, go back. Never lose control of dragon.
Buy an early oracles to counter enemy wards. An early oracles will give your team a huge advantage. Killing enemy wards basically is like breaking their legs. They will be crippled for the rest of the game.
Stack gold per 5 items. Since you won't be taking the minion kills in lane, you will need a source of income. This is why you need to buy gold per five items. Try and get these items as soon as possible. Also, set up your runes and masteries to get you gold per five as well. This will help you buy more wards an support items to help your team.
Run defensive runes and masteries to help your durability in lane. Even on the more squishy support champions like Janna and Soraka, you still want to run armor runes and masteries. This will prevent you from dying and feeding the enemy. Remember, good support players never die. We are the immortals!
Only trade with ranged carry. Try to avoid going commando on the enemies in bottom lane. Watch and protect your ad like a guardian. Engage when he does and make sure he does not die.
Don't last hit unless your ad is at base! This is elementary support, but just in case you do not know, never take minion kills. The meta is designed so that the ad carries can get as much gold as possible so they can do tons of damage late game. If you take cs from your carry bot lane you will surely lose.
