Gameplay
Thor is a non traditional support, so you will want to play a little different. Its best to play a little aggressive early and get in your enemies face, holding your hammer to avoid taking as much damage. Sucessfully out trading your opponent will set you up well. Additionally you can look to cut off paths and set up damage with your 2. In the mid game, be active. Look for invades, use your ult to make quick rotations and tip the scales of fights in your favor. You have a lot of cc that can help a win a fight for your team so use it well. Late game you will mostly be looking for wall/hammer combos for poke and set up.
Conclusion
Thor is an odd one for sure, but in the right hands you can bring down the thunder upon your enemies. Give it a try, and dunk down on your foes.
