An Open letter to the support players

PhantomGG··2 votes·463 views

I get it, you don't like to play support, we have all been their. We were all once stuck in silver or still are stuck in silver. We had that game where we really needed to be on our main role to carry but then what happens? Some person auto locks our favorite role, forces us onto support, and then all the carries on your team suck. I get it, it is a very helpless feeling to be a support on a bad team. However in a format where assassin/ad carry junglers are meta, your role is now more important then ever. You are debatebly, no you ARE the most important member on your team. You are the one who gives us the cc to lock down the enemy carries. You are the one who gives us the wards to give us the information on the jungle to track enemy movements. You are the one who makes sures our ad marksman carry can get the gold he/she needs to kill the enemy carries. In a meta like this you are disgustingly important to the point a good support determines if a team wins or loses.

Do no do the stupid troll picks cause your mad. Do not steal your carries kills for your butt hurt. Take your job seriously and I promise you, if I ever see you on the rift doing your job properly. I will give you a pat on the back, honor you and say "GG, thanks for the carry :)"

If I had been drinking something, I would have spat it out in surprise.

Well, thanks. That's surprisingly nice to hear, midlaners don't tend to pay us much attention unless we're directly helping them. So, uh, thanks!

Can't tell you how many times I've turned around a dive or bad engage with decent supporting. If I had a dollar for every piece of gold a Rocket Grab assist off of Blitzcrank granted me from a kill my allies secured off of a good pull I'd be a fricking millionare by now. even if it was .00001 dollars per 50 gold I'd probably have a nice stack. #proxycarry

Yes as a mid lane main is is the worst feeling right I can vouch support do a lot. So many time for before I get a kill i have had a support stop me only to get dropped dead so quick I couldn't even use flash. Many games I have had supports for me make my life easier, and sadly they say it was all me even though is was the support for either cc'ing, baiting, or catching the person out and then the clutch saves and timing it requires is no small task. A good support can make a bad adc look ok and sadly dont get the credit deserve.
