The reason I chose this game was not that I did well, but because the amount of information I was able to get out of it. I've included lots of small jungle tracking tips throughout the video which hopefully you can incorporate into your own games, and of course vision tactics!
A lot of people as mages struggle vs engange supports such as thresh or leona and luckily we were against just that! Even though my adc was a veigar as you watch laning phase you will see that it is almost 85% me doing the work and pushing the enemy out of lane, regardless of who my adc would have been (you will see my veigar did not perform too well).
Your biggest advantage as a mage support is your range and level 1, an engage support level 1 vs enchanters or mages are simply useless. Please use this opportunity to poke them down with autos or abilities this way by the time they reach level 2, they simply will be unable to engage without taking major poke, dying or burning sums. Speaking of level 2, as a mage you OUTRANGE melee. When they walk up to proc relic shield AUTO THEM!!! DO NOT let them cs for free. Because I was able to take advantage of this, the enemy was simply unable to do anything for the entirety of laning phase as they were constantly pushed in and with proper jungle tracking was able to take advantage of when nautilus was topside.
This game, in particular, I try to point out common mistakes made by the junglers (10:04 ) and top laners ft. wingsofdeath (19:50) as well with regards to ganking and pushing (this is for you split pushers)
We could have easily been lost but it was the small things that add up which led us to a win. In any case, hopefully, you enjoy this informative commentary and I'm thinking of doing either an engage support next since last time was enchanters OR someone asked for ADC. Please comment below what you would like me to do for the next video and the elo to play it in, I will take the most upvoted and make a video on that :) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DS0GxoFqPj4VRel0VLiRsAAgcvnjuGh3Qx9coS3mWgI/edit#gid=0 these are the champs I can and can't play for reference.
Of course, I'm not perfect especially when I commentate and play like this so if you see any flaws or mistakes in my own gameplay I am always open to constructive criticism and looking to learn/get better so please feel free to point any differing opinions or things out :)
