Supports get no respect

Buildermann 13··5 votes·561 views

So, as a support main, I have gotten a ton of crap from all positions of the team, for various reasons. I don't heal enough, I can't roam, I'm just bad in general. People really don't give us any respect. I think this is one of the the reasons people don't play support. Just getting this out there.

Nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes they are right in their criticism even if they're being jerks about it. I recommend reading some champion and role guides, watching high elo/pro streams, and asking for a critique of your matches so you can get an idea of what areas you can improve in. If you kick ass as a Support even the jerks will tend to not bother you, but they will harass someone in any role so don't chalk it up to being a Support.

In the meantime, just mute them and focus on the match. If you let it get to you and don't mute them it'll only hurt your chances of winning and enjoying the match.

I get that sometimes they're right, and sometimes they are. However, even if I save them over and over from the other team, they stupidly go back in or something and then complain I do nothing. They don't really get to me, and I really don't care, but I just wanted to bring this up.

I am a true main support, through and through. I had a game the other day with an Ezreal adc and right off the bat I knew his type. Cocky, thinks they are the center of the universe and needs everything. EVERYTHING.

They told me "Ward. Now!" I said 'On it.' They told me "Peel you idiot" when I couldn't keep up with his flashing. I said 'Getting mobility boots now' They said "Buy a Mikael's Crucible for me" I said 'Prioritizing now"

They said "jump", I said 'how high'. And it works.

Thats all I can say from my experience.

You sir are more of a man than I am. ( Even if you happen to be a lady) My ego would get in the way. I would self rightiously condemn him.

The thing is that with that Ezreal it got to the point where all i had to do was sit back and watch him shred the enemy to bits and just patch up his sores when he got too cocky.

A fed adc will grow to be strong and will carry once they reach a point, but till then its up to the support to carry them there.

I don't respect anyone who call themselves my ally. I almost always have to hard carry them for any chance at victory and they sometimes spit on my efforts with a premature surrender vote.

I mute all of you for a reason. I'm in this fest alone.

I don't care if you are support, bot, mid, jungle, or top. I don't discriminate. You don't have my respect.

well.

"bad ADC look your CS" "jungler no gank" "top stop feed" "mid can you roam a little"

...

everybody can think of themselves as taking a lot of crap if they just put their minds to it.
