Welcome to my first build, I'm KBu also known in-game as KBu27. I main support and Sobek is one of my go to supports.
Sobek is an easy support to learn and also I believe the most fun. Since this is my first guide bare with me but feedback will be appreciated. I will do my best to edit when the game updates or any changes.
Hunter, guardian, destroyer, menace; the Crocodile God, Sobek, swims where the Nile takes him and owes allegiance to no one.
Some say that Sobek was there when only the Dark Waters existed, so he helped create the world. Some say that
Sobek made the Nile with his sweat and protects those that travel it if they pay him tribute, otherwise he destroys them. Some say that
Sobek ushers the worthy dead down the Nile to the afterlife and aids in their rebirth, restoring sight and strength. Some say he is evil and hateful, ravaging those along the shores and terrorizing villages.
Sobek , in truth, is all of these things and none.
Sobek is not a God of good or evil, of benevolence or malice, but a God of solitary neutrality, unless disturbed; a God that tends to his mighty river and performs his responsibilities to passing souls. The rest of the time, he does what he wishes. For his protection to the living and the dead, he is to be worshiped and respected. For his power, ferocity, and ruthlessness, he is to be rightfully feared.
Pros

Cons
- Mana Hungry.
- Melee.
- Can be killed easy if not building tank.
- Charge Prey if miss can leave you in a bad position.
- Sometimes your teammates don't except you to use Charge Prey and might miss their abilities.
Sobek is one of the easiest tank to play. So if your stuck supporting try him out. Early game is all about zoning your enemies and making sure your carry doesn't die. Early game supporting is one of the most important time for a support. If you make a big mistake it can make your lane horrible to tank in. You can still come back from one or two kills. You have to zone out there tank and try to catch there carry by surprise. You can be aggressive and try to shut down there carry so your carry can farm and get an early advantage. by doing this the jungler is more likely to gank. Both you can your carry should always be aware of the jungler when he is in your side of jungler.
Ward as soon as you can, most support ward up on on the enemies blue which is good but there are jungler that will come down from your own blue so ward there if you can. WARDING is the most important thing in the game. It can change a game easily. I remember when I was the only support warding in the most of the casual games. It made a different if you have smart players on your team with good map awareness.
Mid game is where you notice more roaming. If your carry is good with you leaving to roam a bit then do it because it help your other lane. But if your not getting assist, kills or objective then go back to lane cause walking around doing nothing to get exp or gold.
Late game is where your actives should all be level up to 3 since active are important to supports. I feel at late game since you will be mostly group up your now the mother of the team you support everyone and make sure no one does anything dumb. Tank turrets when you can but be careful if there a lot of enemies missing. Late games is all about taking all the damage for you team but living as long as you can.
Thanks for giving this guide a read it is my first guide and I'll edit any mistake I have since I was never good in English class. Upvote if you like it and give me any feedback.
Note: Don't always follow a guide 100% since gameplay always changes and you might need something different to help you team win.
Here is an old video of me playing Sobek. I will upload a new video when I have time. P.S. VERY OLD

Good guide
Definitely a good guide. I'd suggest adding some more alternatives, namely
I love the colors - matches his crocodile-ness; it's a very aesthetically appealing guide, and you go over tactics, actives, items, and skills very well. I would just go more in depth into the items section - WHY should you take an item? Simply saying 'it reduces x damage and gives y health' may not be enough to weigh in why it would be necessary.
Still a + for me
Thanks for the reply. Those items are really good it just didn't come to mind because I really use when playing Sobek.
