  • Support is generally considered the role

  • with the least amount of impact out of all five roles

  • So I wanted to take a look at a support player who has more impact than anyone else in the game

  • This is immortals Olleh

  • He is the starting support for Immortals and he recently hit rank 1 on the Na challenger ladder

  • How the hell did a support player hit rank 1 let's take a look at Olleh's play style

  • I have launched every single one of Olleh's VOD's in the last month and I noticed something Olleh Roams

  • A lot I mean like a lot

  • Compared to other high ranking supports like P1 stunt. Olleh is all over the map in one game

  • Olleh played his thresh. He spent a total of four minutes in the actual bot lane

  • He spends most of his time in the early game in the river between mid and bot lane

  • Olleh often plays jungle as his secondary role

  • And this makes him really good at roaming and setting up ganks. Olleh is incredibly patient with his ganks

  • he can sit there for up to 40 seconds and wait for you just to make a single misstep a

  • Single mistake and as soon as you do he will punish you for it

  • Oftentimes Olleh really likes to roam with his jungler

  • He roams in accordance with his junglers jungling path

  • So that he can gank along with his jungler at the same time

  • Since they have the most map presence jungle players hit Rank 1 all the time

  • But since Olleh is constantly roaming on support. He feels like a secondary jungler

  • You could almost say that he's like a jungle, sidekick even if Olleh is not going for a gank

  • He's constantly fighting for vision in the river to make it safer for his mid laner and his jungler

  • you could call him a

  • Goalleh because he doesn't let anything

  • Slip through his defense between mid and bot lane to supplement his high Roam play style

  • Olleh likes to play thresh and bard he is capable of playing peel support such as Soraka and Janna

  • But he doesn't choose to do so often in soloqueue

  • Olleh plays roam based champions because he feels that he can carry harder in Solo queue and

  • Feels more excited when he plays them he really likes to buy mobility boots

  • He says if he thinks he can roam then he will just rush mobility boots in fact in his last 10 games

  • Olleh first bought mobility boots before anything else in

  • 9 out of those 10 games whether he was ahead or behind

  • Whenever Olleh roams he always always brings a control ward along with him unless he's been

  • Snowballing his lane Olleh does not stay in the bot lane

  • He feels that unless he can get something bot lane

  • He tries to roam instead, basically

  • He is constantly doing something trying to scare the enemy laners into playing safer trying to get vision for his laners

  • So they can play more aggressive one thing that

  • Olleh really likes to do is gank his own lane since he plays hook based champions like Thresh and Blitzcrank a lot

  • It can be quite easy to predict if you can see the champion in lane and approaching you fast

  • By ganking his own lane like a jungler

  • He's more easily able to hit his hook skillshots one thing that Olleh does a lot that many supports actively try to avoid is

  • Olleh takes kills in the early game if you look Olleh's stats in a lot of those games the numbers don't look like

  • a supports KDa

  • They look like a laners KDa

  • Olleh intentionally takes kills in the early game because getting more gold for your support in your early game is much more effective than

  • getting kills on your ad carry think about how useful it actually is to get a

  • longsword or a cull on your ad carry in the early game as

  • Compared to if your support was able to get sightstone

  • By five minutes if you can get a fast fight stone

  • Or mobility boots really early on

  • That will help your team's early game out a lot more than a little bit of extra ad on your ad carry

  • Marksmen are meant to be scaling champions and supports are meant to carry them through the early game

  • So it makes a lot more sense that they should be hitting their item spikes first

  • One of the reasons that Olleh is so good at Hook champions like thresh

  • Is that he's so good at setting up hooks through vision

  • He's very good at predicting the enemy's movements in pockets of vision

  • He throws his hooks where people are going to be not where they currently are as my old football coach used to say

  • Don't throw the ball where the receiver currently is throw the ball where this receiver is going to be and that is exactly

  • What Olleh is so good at doing?

  • I think Olleh's greatest strengths is his ability to be able to predict enemy movements and

  • Shotcalling with the rest of his team in this clip Olleh's jungler Elise just got picked off by Tahm kench and Lee sin

  • Rather than walking straight back to bot lane

  • He waits patiently in the brush for them to finish scuttle crab

  • Olleh, correctly predicts that lee is going to invade and try to take Gromp since Elise is Dead

  • So he makes the call for his mid laner to follow him into their own jungle

  • Tahm kench returns to the bot lane because he assumes that his jungler is going to be safe

  • Olleh goes in and hits a great hook guaranteeing a revenge kill on Lee sin

  • Olleh is really good at shot calling and directing his team and he is very

  • Tilt proof in some of the games that I watched I never thought

  • Olleh would make a reasonable comeback Olleh never gives up a game. No matter. How bad it looks

  • He's always trying to look at the positive side, Olleh's in game

  • Name is humble diligence, and he does live up to it the enemy team doesn't have twice as many kills as us

  • They only have 5 more kills than us. Don't worry. Don't feed. I'll carry if you are nice to your team

  • They will be nice to you the time that we played together is short

  • But why should I spend that time on being negative to other people when I can spend that little bit of time?

  • Praising them instead in one game Olleh played with Tyler1, and Tyler wasn't having the most fun time

  • He was constantly getting one shot because he was playing jinx vs Zed. So he just wanted to play the next game

  • What did Olleh say no we can win trust believe in us even if his AD carry has given up he still

  • Hasn't given up protecting his ad carry telling tyler to believe in the team

  • Oh, Olleh Is like the main character of an anime series

  • Staying super positive throughout the entire thing

  • Olleh still lost that game of course

  • I mean, it's just he never succumb to the negativity

  • but you know

  • Your memes are dreams and friendship doesn't prevent your zed from blowing up your adc this isn't some fantasy land

  • This is league of Legends

  • Now Olleh's play style is not the only one able to get to a high rank as a support player there are plenty of other

  • lane focused support players

  • But in terms of supports Olleh's is the only one that has ever gotten to rank one. His jungle like vision based

  • Aggressive support style does seem to be the best when it comes to carrying as a support player. Hi there my name's, Dong Huap

  • Huge thanks to IMT Olleh for answering my questions about his play style

  • You can check out his twitch stream in the description below you can follow him on Twitter

  • Hopefully imt will actually win something this season. Maybe in terms of Runes and masteries Olleh's setup is pretty standard

  • There's no real deviations. He just has two versions one for Thresh one for bard.

  • Not really changing it. It's just mostly just very early game focused and pretty much just standard with auto attack Harass

  • The video is over at this point

  • But if you want you can stick around for the bonus content the bonus content is just me talking over some of my favorite place

  • from spectating Olleh

  • until next time then bye

  • So after watching all the Olleh's Vods so these are some of my favorite clips

  • That I found that I couldn't really find place for them in the video

  • But I thought they were really fun to watch so this one is basically basically Olleh was trying to get a gank mid

  • but he couldn't really do it, so

  • what he does instead is he spam things for reksai to go camp this brush because bard has to eventually go through here and

  • - just like Clockwork like bard shows up perfectly as soon as everyone gets there and it's

  • It's just amazing to see how like it just precise

  • Like just everything is it's all according to Olleh's plan

  • It's like he's directing an orchestra, and they're all part of his symphony

  • And this last clip this last clip was the one that made me laugh the hardest

  • basically always playing trundle support, and he starts pillar and he just

  • Sona and she literally can't move because she's body blocked by the pillar and

  • Olleh's like physical body so she has to he basically forces her flash

  • at level one and then he plays the rest of the lane like super patiently and as soon as he hits levels two and

  • he like Regens a decent amount he just all in's on sivir and

  • he gets two first blood kill's so it's just yeah he basically he and Lucian should basically just win this game at around uh

  • Like five minutes. I think yeah around five minutes

  • That's just they just win this game because the jungler comes in and she can't really do anything

  • What was funny about Olleh is that even though? He has like you know he plays thresh and bard like a insane

  • God he has all these weird support picks that like he just makes work

  • so for example

  • Elise

  • His favorite jungler is Elise

  • But he is played at least I would say five games as support Elise

  • Maybe maybe more I'm not act im not a hundred percent sure on that

  • But I seen him play just straight up Elise support, and it wasn't an accident

  • He just he just picked Elise support. He's like let's play a Elise support, and he fucking makes it work

Support is generally considered the role
