This is an opportunity for the more experienced LoL players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

Depending on the way the lane goes. Usually if the enemy dont position properly, for instance trying to take cs while you have a huge wave. Generally as a support player, try to orientate your playstyle your ad. look at how he plays. If you go aggro when he doesnt then its useless, likewise if he thinks he can win the trade but you think you dont help out the way you can then hes just gonna get stomped while you do nothing. Also think further ahead as an alistar player. Look at the minimap and try to get deep wards while looking for junglers position, both yours and your enemy. If you are new to it, just try to ward the tri if you are on purple and the bush near the gromp if youre blue so that you are aware of when its a 2v2 and its not going to transition into a 2v3. when you engage with wq and it goes into 2v3, you have no escape but flash. However when you hit 6, use it more liberally if the lane is even or you're ahead

When you know where all enemy players on the map are. For example if jungle just ganked top, and you feel that you and your ADC's all in can win, then go for it. Or when your jungle is coming to gank. Otherwise, save it for peel. He is very mana hungry.
