I am probably going to take the jump and get dragged into this world. I've been debating it for a while, and sort of like supporting, and my "pre-investment" into the game was grabbing Nami, Morganna, Soraka, Annie while they were on sale. So while you all at the top yell back and forth, what's the best way for me to get STARTED learning support?

(I have done plenty of watching and reading the lore, i'm just sort of ready to start getting my hands dirty. I'm probably gonna practice vs bots until i get mechanics down, jumping into ranked is stupid from the looks of it)
Things I do know:
My best friend is named "ward"
As a support last hitting is less important but i still need to get it down.
My minimap gets attention every half a second.
Spoiler: Mini Infodump
Server: NA, obv
Name: CabdIsSk (meh, cabd was taken obv)
Level: Hahahahahaha only 5
Champs OWNED: Annie Morg Nami Ryze Trist (and obv whatever's free that week)
Riot Points: 700 (With free to play games i usually invest 10 bucks from the getgo, then scale up to 60 as if i'd bought a console game if I find it was worth the money.)
Of note, my brother plays a lot more than I do and already has assassin style champs down, although his flavor of the week seems to be Ezreal, his usual mains are Nid and Katarina. I'm probably gonna end up trying to hang around him for a bit but none of those really go into a bottom lane alongside a support.

Been playing some very basic bot games and getting a hang for morg's toolkit. Black shield is literally the best thing ever. And dark bindings feel fun like crazy.

It pretty much affirmed the general advice i'm getting here which is to practice actual laneing before trying support. But with nicer words and more fancyful spoilers!

I realize full well this has moved beyond me, but i'd like to point out the whole "If I decide I like it I'm willing to put the equivalent of a real console game price towards RP" statement in my OP. I'll be saving the IP for the rune pages probably. (yes i know not to worry about runes till i can buy the really good ones way higher levels)

Got paired up since I was playing with non-smurfs of scummers, they took the lead, and we somehow won. Wheeeee. One week and change in, still like this game.

So these are fucking awesome. You have to get the Advocaat from a specialty store or import it though, at least around here bars don't carry it. If you're in California, Bevmo carries it.
Not a huge midori fan but i'd probably try the lulu one.

Now that I have flash I'm finding I enjoy being dragged into games with mostly main-account-newerish 30s and such instead of players that are smurfs that riot thinks i'm a fellow smurf with.

Okay mafiascum I've got morgana and nami mechanically down, sona already purchased and slowly learning... who next to buy and learn to play? Janna? Braum? Leona?
Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household
Fuck thresh and the hooks he rode in on. (I actually totally forgot about him but I was hoping to learn a slightly tankier support character, as opposed to a grabber like him or blitzcrank)

Breadth is more important than depth when you're climbing to 30.
Yeah, I saw the lists a page back or two.
I'll check my owned champ pool when I get back then you guys should give me suggestions for which ones from each role to learn along with a basic idea of how to build them itemization wise? That would be really helpful.

People keep saying on the boards that healers are OP in ascension. I guess even with the perma-reduction of healing to the buffed champ, keep them alive is huge.
I've found that skillshots that stun or root (nami Q, morg Q, etc) are pretty good since you can sneak in and get free kills on enemy units capturing relics.
No idea how accurate this is but...

Alternatively I just realized custom allows you to make both sides in ascension so one could technically just find ten players and inhaus it, play two mat6ches, and bam everyone has the achievement.

I guess it comes down to a difference in how we see the game. I see doing that as the equivalent of posting your role PM in the thread out of spite for your team. You signed up to play a team game, and you follow your team, regardless if it means you have to play it out.

I know this pain. Unless I play at some ungodly hour I'm royally fucked on bandwidth until my move (moving from central california to chicago and more importantly from 1.5meg to 12meg). I just play bots at day then normals and such at night.
