SAY "gj bot" NOT "gj *insert adc*"

I just came out of a ranked game as a braum support. At an early point in the game my vayne was about to die but because of my SUPERB SKILLs AND GAME KNOWLEDGE, we come out with 2 kills while surviving. Guess what happens next? "Malphite: gj vayne" "Fizz: gj vayne" "Braum: Fuk u". I WAS PISSED. Later in the game we come out of a team fight with vayne getting a pentakill, team dead, EXCEPT ME BY HER SIDE but guess what team says? "team: gj vayne" "braum: fuk u". On a more serious note, this role (support) being underappreciated is nothing new and it's understandable because placing wards and assisting someone get a kill isn't nearly as important as getting the kills and carrying the game. Now i'm not saying to compliment whenever someone places a ward, but at least give some credit where it is due. Simply saying "gj bot" or just plain "gj" is enough. I play a lot of adc and i always compliment my support for anything that helps me out so he/she feels appreciated because the rest of the team wouldn't. On the contrary, if a braum took all the kills he wouldn't get a single praise because that isn't optimal. It's like a lose - lose situation, and i know this has been brought up countless times, but just to resurface and create awareness I would like to start the #thankasupport campaign.

Sincerely, supports.

A well played support should always get praise, if not for the simple fact that they are willing to play what many refuse then for saving idiots from face checking and itemizing with boring crap that helps everyone else.

ITT support players are delicate flowers and must be showered with praise.

I don't know who you play with but whenever a support makes good plays I always see them getting praised.
