A Message to My Fellow ADC Mains and to My Dearest Supports
ADCs: Please stop being assholes to your supports. The relationship between ADCs and Supports right now is pretty much a domestic violence relationship, and I'm tired of watching it happen. Numerous times in all-chat per day do I see abusive statements from the enemy adc to their support, and all I can say is: "Fuck you abusive adcs." Without your support, you are absolutely nothing. If you're 12-1-4 and your support is 0-7-14 then you take all the credit or call your support a feeder, you are scum. Your support is the one that got you fed, not you. If your support didn't peel for you, provide you with utility, cc the enemy, or tank all of their damage, you would be the one feeding and/or you wouldn't be fed whatsoever. Oh, you have 104 cs at 10 minutes (yes, this is possible, though I know it's an over-exaggerative sentence)? Tell me more about how your support is useless. Your support is the one that allowed you to get that cs. Without them being there to pressure the enemy off of you or give you the utility to survive the lane so you could farm, you wouldn't even have nearly as much cs as you have. Don't think I'm right? Go ahead, ask your support to leave lane and to go support mid. Tell me how much cs you have at 10 minutes. Tell me how many kills and deaths you have at 10 minutes. My guess: Less than 70, 0 and 2. Don't think I'm right? Go ahead, you engage the fight, not your support. I want you to walk up to the enemy and autoattack them with your support sitting behind you (unless you have a Soraka support >~>). Tell me who ends up winning the fight. So, stop being an asshole and give your support the credit. I challenge you ADC mains out there to give your supports as many compliments as you can think of today. "Thanks for warding, Lulu :)", "Oh my gosh Thresh, your peeling was incredible that fight!", "Without you, I couldn't have gotten fed, Braum :3". I challenge you ADC mains out there to be kind and respectful to your supports when you want something done today. "Hey Lulu, could you go ward over there for us please? :)", "Alright Thresh, I'd love to see some awesome peeling for you!", "I know you're going to do a good job carrying me Braum :3". I challenge you ADC mains out there to not make a single toxic comment today. No calling gg because you lost lane, fed first blood, or someone else on the team is feeding; no flaming your support or anyone on the team for making a mistake (we're human, we're not perfect); no calling someone bad because they're having a bad game (you've had bad games too). I challenge you ADC mains out there to thank your support for carrying you at the end of the game, or if they played poorly forgive them and encourage them that they'll do better next game. At the end of the day, report back to me your winrate and how much better your supports played.
Supports: I love you, and I'm sorry for the poor treatment a lot of ADC players out there give you. This toxic community has made you guys feel underappreciated, and a lot of support mains died off because of it. However, keep in mind that not all ADCs are the same, and there are a few of us out there that understand the work you've done for us and appreciate every single bit of effort you've put in. It's a hard life for you supports: You wake up everyday and get onto your laptop or computer to play some League of Legends, and instead of being happy that you're about to play such an amazing game and gain some elo, you're letting out a deep sigh and frowning whilst dejectedly queueing up for a League match wondering why you even play support anymore, knowing that you're just going to get harassed and/or verbally abused by your ADCs and lose more elo. That's why I'm making this post--to try to make a difference. Unfortunately, not every ADC will see this, and chances are the ones that do you won't see in game later, so if you're a Gold 3+ elo support with either Skype, Curse Voice, Teamspeak, and/or Discord and at least a 52% winrate, go ahead and add me in-game and I'll make sure you don't have to deal with those toxic ADCs. I'll give you a relaxing day of fun and elo gains, and give you all the compliments you deserve. If you don't meet my requirements, go ahead and add me in-game anyway! We can be friends and play some normal games together sometime! I'm always looking for League of Legends friends, and maybe we can even form a club together; a club where positive ADCs and Supports can meet and queue together to have a fun, healthy environment :). And don't forget, there are those of us out there who understand your hard work and appreciate it. Don't lose hope and quit playing support, we need you! <3

EDIT: Holy shit this post is blowing up. So hard to keep up with and reply to all of the comments! EDIT2: I'm going to take a nap, so unfortunately I won't be able to continue keeping up with all of the comments and talk to my fellow summoners. I bid you all farewell, for now! ^~^ "Good luck in SoloQ, and have a wonderful day." EDIT3: Sorry guys, when I came back from my nap there were +54 comments and I cannot go through all of those. I responded to as many as I can, but I'm sorry if you got left out. I'll do my best to respond to new comments.
