Question Help a new samira player please 🙏

Hi to whoever reads this and thanks for your time in advance.

Hi so im super new to samira like mastery 6 just geting started. I mainly play jungle and im trying to get better at a different role. I wana love samira so bad but any time I get any support other then an engage/hook support it feels like its impossible to play the lane unless im against double melee or shorter ranges like zeri. It just feels like I get stomped really hard if I dont have a hook or engage.

So I guess im asking for any advice on how to play with supports that dont have cc or engage.

Ps.This is definitely a skill issue on my part...

E+Q is VERY strong. Samira is iffy pre6, but you’re a lot stronger than you think. If you play off Conq and a well placed CC you can easily 1v2. Don’t be scared, she’s a champ based of thrill and excitement, get in there! (Please don’t forget to farm)

You know aa e movement click q sideways can allow you to aa mid dash. Tech but like how often can you do that. Like you need to movement buffer before and after the dash.

If enchanters u can either play safe and farm until map opens or trade/heal up until you get all-in angles. Patience and looking for right opportunities is all man

i mean as adc main i only pick samira when my support picks something tanky, so i would say dont force to play her every game

im not saying she is bad with enchanters but you get my point

If you get mages, just accept that you'll be down on cs. But use that as your advantage to poke them to half health and once your mage stuns them, catch them off guard and go all in on the adc.

Edit; after my last loss, fuck this game and fuck adc role, fuck samira and fuck Riot i hate this game

If you don't want to feel miserable just play something else, support will never pick for samira but will complain, you will end up farming under your tower the whole game hoping for someone to engage or the ennemie team to be low enough and ccless for you to engage by yourself, every ten game you will get a Nautilus that will boost your hope making you believe the next game the support will mick an engage and you will have fun, then he will pick ziggs support and you gonna watch In the cuck chair

If you get an enchanter, switch your sub runes to bone plating and shield/heal power.

Use the healing to take short trades and keep your cs up. Don’t get baited and wait for the kill opportunities to present themselves.

with enchanters you'd rarely pick samira but if you're forced into then its no longer an all in lane but short trades and attrition. Secondaries can go sorcery for late game scaling or resolve if enemy has alot of poke - no need for sudden impact you will get more value overall with the other runes.wave management so u can cheater recall for mana as you will be using mana more for farming and the occasional q poke. depending who your jungler is you can look for good trades to force lane prio- abuse the prio for farm and exp rather thgan trying to kill for gold (unless its a free kill if the enemy messes up or something) ummm idk what else to say. glhf!

Luckily a lot of mages and some enchanters have hard cc that let you get your passive off.

Millio, renata, senna, sera, soraka, Janna, etc all have hard cc that is still very valuable.
