League-of-legends – Lower Priority Queue

You cant "punish" a team that uses a different strategy just because its "different" Any strategy can work well if executed perfectly.

At low ELO there is a few things that are forgoten/not done.

• Low ELO players seem to forget about objectives like dragon, buffs, and baron.

• More focused on kills(greedy) rather than farm, this can make them be over-confident and make mistakes which can lead to them being out of position which you can take advantage of.

• Lack of focus in team fights and bad positioning

• No/lack of warding on the map.

Also if a team is choosing a comp that you have not seen before, look at the champs that are being used, do they excel at; Pushing towers? Strong early game or late? AOE based or single targeted? Anti-carry? etc etc.

It all lies down to you and your team, pick up on mistakes, see weakness's and abuse it.

The most important part of support is going to be the communication. This needs to start before you select your support. You won't be able to pick the right support if you don't know Ez's playstyle.

Some Ez's might want to go aggressive. You're right about Ez lacking the ability to blow an AD up quickly. However, his poke is significant. Pair him with a Sona, especially if you ban out Soraka, and you can force the enemy out of lane. Many Ez's though prefer to sit back and farm, doing damage once he's completed a solid part of his first damage item. In this case, Soraka or Jana will be a better compliment.

Recognize that the game isn't going to be won in the lane. It's going to be that you enabled him to farm well enough to be a force in team fights. Just because you're not getting kills or doing anything exciting doesn't mean you're a bad support.

I also prefer to get exhaust over heal or CV. Lots of people want to dive in on Ez. Having an exhaust to help peel for him can be crucial.
