Does no one understand the struggle of support?

Does no one understand the struggle of having to sacrifice yourself in order to save the carry from dying only to be bitched at for 'feeding?' How about when your carry is gone and 4 people gather to surround the tower and you still are bitched at for dying? Or maybe you get blamed for losing the team fight when you weren't the one to charge in blindly while everyone else dies? Best-case scenario, you're the one being yelled at for your team dying in a fight just as you're about to arrive only to have a race-car carry melt you down after killing the rest of your team? Even better, literally everyone judges you based on your kills, and you've been busy giving your carry all the kills whilst dying for a 2-for-1 trade! So when you lose the lane due to 5 people rolling through, you're the one that's blamed!

Long story short, support is a role that seemingly has a level of standard that is challenged by the rest of the team's mistakes.

Other lanes have their own problems, but from my own experience now and then, support is never safe from salt.

I mean... shit happens but no one seems to see it other than "you suck"

Oh yes, we all love arriving after the idiot team has charged in and gotten themselves killed, and then getting showered with question marks like you had a hand in that. Maybe don't go in before I get there you jerks!

So, we are on this part of the seesaw again?

Honestly, I rarely get any problems with my adc or any other teammate.

Basically, if you can help them, help 'em. If they are stupid and die because of their decisions, let them die.

But, for the love of everything that is holy, don't be such an entitled %%%% who can't handle any backlash.

Every role gets shit on, when you spent your ingame time focusing on what other random people say to you, of course you are going to lose your team the game lmao.

Peace

Every role gets shit Junglers without a doubt get the most shit from their teammates Yet support players with their eternal victim complex somehow think their "struggle" is unique or noteworthy in any shape or form

Why do support players bitch so much? You don't see jungle players complaining every year about being flamed or not getting sufficient thanks from their teammates

I really don't experience this all that much even on losing teams. Every once in a while I'll get that special snowflake ADC that makes a habit of calling me useless just because they are utterly incapable of dodging skill shots, but it's uncommon if not rare for me to have that.

If I had to guess, it's probably because I try not to call people out on their mistakes and just focus on my own game while trying to have fun. Because as long as I'm having fun, the outcome isn't as important to me.

I don't save my ADCs if they do something stupid. Very rarely would I make a sacrifice of that multitude. I learned 8/10 that my ADCs will either be toxic...They get snippy about their bad play and try and blame me when their plan fails and they die...I let them die from there on out.

Respect your Life Support or get unplugged. (Not literally of course, they be messed up otherwise)
