How do you expect us to dominantly win from auto filled support?

So i play Janna and land every single tornado or E when i have to or R when needed. But it has nothing to do with any of my 4 other teammates feeding and just losing us the game. I just have to witness everything. there is absolutely nothing you can possibly do but pray they dont feed doesn't matter what ping i use, what i say or anything they either feed or the enemy feeds and i have to basically watch because im the autofilled support.

Auto fill needs to be less punishing and less rewarding to our MMR and LP why? because your putting us in a position that decreases our chances of winning from taking us away from our usual main with our usual play style it honestly makes me not even feel like playing when i get auto filled.

Like shit what you think would happen if the NBA told Lebron James he couldn't play tonight's game but he has to be a substitute receiver for the New York Giants instead. How do you think he would feel about that? how do you think he would perform?

That example can be applied to a jungle main, a top main, or an ADC main being forced to Support.

So i dont play support but your MAKING me play it

  • I am uncomfortable playing it
  • I HATE playing it
  • I feel useless playing it
  • I feel like i have no control over the game
  • I feel frustrated watching someone else do a shit job at the position I originally queued for

There are many ways to fix this first you have to change the amount of MMR & LP is gained from both winning AND losing auto filled matches.

Second lets talk about auto fill protection i think auto fill protection should last around 4 - 5 games instead of 3 and for compensation purposes whenever we get an AFK on our team we automatically receive a 3 game auto fill protection.

Finally add a quality of life update to the overall queue experience add two options before you actually search for a match

#"Sure i got plenty of time!" ^^^^ First option basically puts you in back of line and makes you wait waaay longer than usual to jump into a match but? you get a FAR less chance to get autofilled.

#"My time is limited" ^^^^ 2nd option basically the same queue times as now with the same chance of you getting auto filled.

Adding this differentiates the players between who is quickly trying to jump into a match or someone who has all the time in the world.

Your teammates feeding when you're autofilled isn't really any different from your teammates feeding when you're playing your main role.

Practice playing it more and that solves basically every point. You can carry without dealing damage.

You know what you do? I didn't even have to read this, but follow everyone elses shoes. Put a fucking AP carry down there, like Brand, Veigar, Vel-koz, etc, get a sightstone, then straight damage. This is classified as support right now, pretty fucking cool stuff.

I would upvote this but people need to realise your teammates feeding isnt automatically the end of the game. I could understand if they were intentionally feeding or not trying to work together (which is what you should have went with) to secure towers dragons and barons. pussyfooting in front of towers isntead of pushing the enemy from under them but the again your champion choice suggests that you are one of those types of people especially how you didnt put any other support champions.

I main Janna. You just have to learn to help out your team differently than your role you're used to playing. For an example, using item 3190 to grant nearby team mates a small shield and item 3107 to grant a circle of health regain, also special wards that will benefit your adc later in the game (if they don't get you killed repeatedly trying to save them)

When playing as a support, your objective is to cater to your adc early game and keep them alive as much as possible while getting some objectives down, one of things you don't have to deal with is farming, because your adc does that for you, obviously. Therefore an item 3301 is a mandatory starter item for Janna. And you should be sure you max out your E to make sure your adc doesn't blame you constantly and go 0/8 in 10 minutes.

Playing Support is an equally important role as any other role you might in an average game in norms or ranked.

Once you're in mid game, you win or lose a lane, you're gonna start to roam a little and may enter team fights or getting dragons or even baron. One important note is to not use item 3107 on recalling team mates or they're in so much danger you can't reach them, it's just wasting it. And a item 3069 for extra movement speed with item 3117 to escape enemies. WO0OOOO0sh.

Janna is a pretty interesting character in her lore, where's she's a wind god and becomes a guardian of Zaun and saves people.

So, summoners spells should always be summoner 3 AND summoner 4 to help your team get fed.

Quick note = You can press Q again to quick charge your nados W = Slows people down and does Magic Damage E = Shield that has spell immune and armor. R = More you charge the more heal.

I hope this is enough info to help you learn her. Bye.
