I think if u rly rly need the movement speed to complete ur combo or catch up to people or if u never get hit then blue. Otherwise red will always be better in fights. Also on champs that want to fight for a long time like red kayn the red smite will be better to have enough time to leech back ur hp. If u have 0 gap closer etc i think u need blue in this meta to catch any1 so for example udyr is gonna want blue. If u play ap shyvana u can go blue since u dont want to tank them anyways u just poke with ur e. If u actually oneshot and then run away u can take blue since its instant dmg and u dont tank the enemy team.

have time for more questions

hey my questions about toplane wavemanagement and pressure
so in specific i wanna ask about Riven vs Renekton. most of the time in the early game i trade level 1 if renekton starts q. when he gets level 2 i either do a quick trade and disengage or i let the wave push towards me (generally it also crashes to my tower making the wave bounce back to his side) and that's where I start struggling cuz if the Renekton knows what he's doing he will let the wave push towards his tower freezing it and when I attempt to break the freeze he will just chunk my healthbar to 30% hp and i have to back in order to not die. so leading to my question: what can I do to break the freeze? or even better how do I even prevent it? I've noticed this in a lot of my games where the wave starts pushing towards the enemy side after crashing to my tower and I feel like I'm doing something wrong inbetween but I couldnt figure out what it is yet - hope you can help me.

My question is why at plat/diamond im always 1v5 every single game?

I also have a question, currently I play in Gold4. Currently I play support, but I have always played jungel. I want to become support main. Is it possible in low elo or should I concentrate on a carry role

It's definitely possible to climb as a support as long as you're doing your job and peeling, providing vision, making calls etc. That being said, you'd climb a lot faster if you duo queue or play a carry role.

If u are he weaker lane u need help by ur jgler to shove it. He doesnt even need to rly gank just show up and u can push. Better yet u dont even get into a position where he cna freeze. If he pushes u in and u dont kill the minions quickly enough then ur next lane will stop on ur side of the lane and it will slowly push into his direction because ur waves arrive first and group up on the enemy wave. So in order to not let that happen kill the wave before ur next wave arrives.

U probably remember the games more where ur teams were bad or u didnt play enough games yet to average the bad teams out with the good ones. Its basically 50/50 if ur teammates will perform better or worse. So if u outperform people in ur position u will start climbing. One small reason could be that people in low dia and plat think they are good allrdy and dont teamplay anymore. I sometimes have better teamplay on smurfs in gold than in low dia.

If u are fine with a lower winrate (u still climb ofc) and not winning almost every game then u can play support ofc. U also have the option to play "carry" supports like brand etc that can play the snd ap carry. Its just that if ur carries suck the best supporting in the world will not make them carry u. As long as u are fine with that happening sometimes u can play support.

How can i improve mechanically ? I usually play champs that are easy for example on mid, Kassadin, Rumble, Syndra maybe, Dianna. I am really good at macro and that's how i easily climb, even to master. But i feel like i struggle most in lane due to mechanics and not being able to play harder champions, like Leblanc, zed, quiyana, cassiopeia? Any advice? Like if i play them vs bots its super easy, but if i play in normals (which are against diamonds usually) i ll end up 0/10, or 0/0 but super behind which is same.

First of all u can get to challenger rank 1 without super insane mechanics. So dont feel like u need to have good mechanics to advance. Crisp decision making and macro etc can get u very very very far. If u rly wanna train them then i would pick one of the harder champs like akali/zed etc and spam them on a smurf thats lets say dia when ur main is master. Watch other mains of that champ execute the combos and even do some combos in practice tool to get the order of spells down. U will lose alot of games at the beginning but thats how u learn. Overall the thing is mechanical champs need alot more time investment than easy champs to perform on. For example a lee sin main probably needs a couple of hours per day just to stay sharp but a mundo main could probably go on vacation for 2 weeks come back and be rdy for ranked. So rly ask urself if u absolutely need that and want to invest the time.

At the moment I main Swain in the Support Role.
I usually ban Pyke every game so I don´t struggle against him. But soon I would like to keep him open and get a ban or Ekko or Volibear at the moment. How can I survive against Pyke? I am struggling so hard against him, I just don´t know when I can catch him and persuade his strong dmg onto my Carry.
Which Itembuild should I go against him?
