Why do support players get upset when someone compliments the adc?

I have never seen a group of players get this jealous before. When I compliment the adc for making a good play or for getting a few kills the support goes "how about me who set it up for the adc?"

Why did the ADC rage at the ONE kill the support secured?

All very important questions.

Twitch I need that gold for items! You stole both kills! Leona I managed to solo-kill the both of them (from full health) while you sat back farming under tower. You didn't even get an assist.
Twitch But-- Leona Take your free-farm and be thankful, ingrate.

Only this pretty much never happens, because the support (barring certain mage supports like Brand) is a worthless piece of dog shit in lane without the ADC to actually do damage.

I can not recall a single time a non-damage mage support managed to solo kill one of their laning opponents from full health, much less two.

Your scenario is stupid and unrealistic.

Actually, I did manage to do so in the past on Leona.

Apparently, reality is now unrealistic.

No you didn't. Not even bronze players will let themselves be 1v2'd by a Leona in the early game with Twitch literally putting out no damage of his own.

Because anyone who plays support knows that all those double kills in the bot lane is the supports doing, not the AD carry. All the AD carry has to do is right click and occasionally press Q. The support is the one doing all the work. Since these days few people play support, most people don't know that so when some shit goes down at bot lane and the AD carry walks away with a tripple, everyone just assumes the AD carry is good. No friends, the support is good not the AD carry.

I main neither ADC nor support but I have played both roles extensively and I'm telling you, I have a far greater impact playing as support than as ADC. Whenever my bot lane loses, I blame myself, not the AD carry because all the AD carry has is damage. I'm the one that has the shields, speed boosts, the cc, the heals etc. I have more tools than the AD carry. He just has multiple ways of applying damage.

My go-to support is Leona and there are days where I can make even the most braindead ADC players look like Gods simply by out-playing the enemy bot lane.

I'm seriously considering maining support or more specifically Leona/Naut in Season 7. I don't think anyone, especially at my elo(Silver) has any clue just how powerful the support role really is.

honestly i understand supports getting frustrated and feeling under appreciated, because it happens. people forget the reason the adc gets kills. personally i'm used to it at this point and i feel like if you play support don't expect much praise and be thankful when you do. however, it would be nice if people would say "gj bot" instead of "gj * insert adc here *"
