Strategies to Thrive as a Support in Smite’s Low Ranks
A common theme that arose from Outso187’s post and subsequent discussions was the difficulty of playing a support character in solo queue games at lower ranks, as User Waveface-Wes pointed out, saying “I believe it’s the least suitable role for solo queue.” The effectiveness of a support player greatly depends on the cooperation of teammates; without an experienced duo partner or a competent team, their ability to make a significant impact is significantly reduced. It’s much like trying to prepare a sandwich with one hand tied behind your back—it can be done, but it won’t turn out as well as you’d hope. This often leaves players feeling disheartened when their strategies and plans don’t succeed, causing them to question whether they should continue playing support if they aren’t seeing the desired results. Given this dependence on others, players often wonder if they should persist with the support role.
