How do people who play support who get shitty adc's not be toxic?

As a Soraka main who only plays Soraka support and thank god for that or I cannot imagine how worse my adcs would do w/o my item 2003.

I do my best to set up kills for them and ping the enemy to follow up and they don't I get pissed. And if the enemy adc has 40 more farm then mine I always get pissed. Of course that is just the icing on the ADC shit cake of what I have to deal with.

And when they pick Vayne I already know it's over because 9/10 Vayne are awful and don't know what their E does. But what do I know? I'm a silver scrub.

Well, I would go crazy too if I only played Soraka in Silver...

I think people who play support often can play more than one support. And in Silver, an aggressive/damage support can usually perform well and make up for shitty ADCs.

Any support who mained support from placements games know that 90% ADCs are incompetent and are expecting that. Thats why u go and support useful member of the team and leave useless ADC to rot bottom. Also i suggest to play mage supports till plat. That way you can mute them and start farming and carrying game.

Btw in silver all ADCs are incompetent. I had ADC leave game because i went 6:0. He had 1 assist and said i KS. Not to mention cases where i see they gonna miss CS and take it, and they rage for taking CS...

I dont. I just tilt them hard as fuck by taking all the CS so they do something reportable and I can get them banned lol.

Sounds like support isn't for you. Why not play a damage carry role instead.

just start hard pushing the wave. dont care about cs or not. if you know what i know the adc and support sometimes gets off rotation and a wave needs to be sacrificed to get them back on pace. but if the adc wants to mess around, push wave / back / adc panics and tries to get the next one and dies. get back in time for the next wave. push back. adc shows up. panics and dies.

I main Bard and never get toxic anymore no matter how shit my team is. I just came to realize not everyone is gonna be as good as their support and just decided its something not worth getting angry or stressed out over.

You just learn to deal with it and accept it as something that will happen on a daily basis.

If you know you're much smarter than they are, there's no point in trying to argue or even dump salt on them. Instead, acknowledge that you are smarter by playing smarter.

So in other words, try to figure out on how to work with bad ADCs. I know not every ADC player will be godly or even know what on earth is a Lulu support, and that's the kinds of backup plan you have to think of.

For example, if you know your ADC is too shitty to followup or for any given reason is incapable of following up, don't set up kills. If your ADC is always going HAM, learn to peel smarter and find ways to turn fights around; sometimes things work better when fights are started by your teammate getting caught out.

If this was a ADC complaining about shitty supports, he would get downvoted into oblivion for being a toxic rager who blames poor innocent supports.

People arent always gonna be on par with your skill, sometimes they're new to the role, sometimes they just suck.

When im ADC and i get blitz suppoet it's always a gamble he's either god of all hooks, or a minion grabber. But you dont flame him, you say meh and move on.

You remember that you yourself are not a juvenile child and treat others like human beings. You gain nothing by getting angry.

I laughed when I read this title. It is indeed quite a frustrating situation to be in as a support.

ban vayne. i used to. because they are toxic. do no damage unless they are smurfing. and think they can 1v5 with just a recurve bow

i dont think i won with a vayne on my team in few months.

ForgiveColour9/8/2016, 5:17:20 PM1 votes

Why would you pick soraka with vayne. Pick a support than can carry vayne lane phase

Soooooooo as a gold ADC I can tell you for a fact that when you begin to work against your own adc, you are gonna lose the game. If you think you can tell an adc is bad (he has similar elo to you he is matched with you) right away, youre wrong. We all play poorly at times, and once you decide to screw over a team mate or not play your role, youre gonna lose. The best strat BY FAR is to try to play support to the best of your ability and get that ADC back into the game. You troll him, youre gonna lose because you'll make it a 4 v 5.
