The endless Boards war

Tanks flaming about things that deal damage to them like item 3035 , but crush squishy champs like nuts with base stats

Mages flame about having no defensive items except item 3157 , but have 2.5k-3k HP with good resistances and burst

Melee's flame about ranged champions but win every single 1 vs 1 against a ranged character anyway like XinZhao Tryndamere

ADC's flame about being useless in early and getting one-shot by every mage/assassin but deal serious damage

There will never be peace, never.

Yep. A constant war. But what these factions don't realize is that none will win.

We need each other.

Peace will never happen. This is an age of wolves.

Carries need tanks to weather the blows meant for them.

Mages need a team to set up and facilitate a fight so they can sway it.

Melees need their team behind them while they duke it out in the middle of the fight.

Tanks need their damage dealers for their existence to be meaningful.

Assassins... well, they don't really need anyone. They're just kind of there to ruin the enemy carry's game.

Assassins need a team to provide a distraction.

assasains needs carries and mages to kill and the ability to create map pressure (like split pushing/roaming) otherwise there's no point in playing them.

Don't forget crying about Mage Supports.

They can't cry about mages taking their role if it's no longer their role anymore

redemption and locket

wrong

In support's current state, I'm free to rush whatever item I want (item 3222 item 3107 item 3190 item 3504 ) which is a huge step up from when Locket was mandatory first item

Dreadlocks1 votes

Oh yeah i know the itemization is pretty damn good right now.. But supports still feel like they dont get enough recognition which is absurd... in every1 of my games if my support does good, its pointed out.. But if 1 does bad, he pulls the "im just the support" card.. As if you are exempt from playing at the same level as us cuz ur the "support"... I have nothing against supports.. I just dont agree with how a lot of them pull double standards.

Bladerunner77771 votes

I honestly never see this because I'm always the one playing support :v (at least in solo Q)

Dreadlocks1 votes

So if you land a double bubble (playing nami, your main) via 2v2 or 3v2 and you guys rekt them straight up.. No1 says "good job" ???

Bladerunner77771 votes

I mean, a lot of the time they do, but I don't mind if nobody says anything.

It doesn't really matter to me that much, now that I think about it. Usually the ADC can identify if the Support is good early on and vice versa.

The only thing that slightly irks me is that Top or Mid have no way of identifying if a support is good, so if I choose not to use my ult in a bad fight I sometimes hear things like "Nami ult???" like I'm some kind of scrub who doesn't know how to play my role. Or when ADC or the Support get flamed individually by Top/Mid and the only person that can actually stand up for them is the Support/ADC.

Dreadlocks1 votes

Then chances are they are the bad player, in which case you're never going to get a positive thing out of them anyways because they're always going to point the finger at someone else for their mistakes anyways.. As a jungle main, i can usually identify if my support is good based on how he responds to 1 of my ganks. Mid should have a similar experience just not as many.. and as for Top, i could understand because he is on an island anyways xD

Bladerunner77771 votes

Yeah usually the jungler can identify who is good and who is bad because it's pretty important for knowing which lanes to gank, which is why I didn't mention it

Dreadlocks1 votes

I guess I don't really know wut to tell most support players for their efforts.. For awhile i was thanking supports every game that bought a sightstone.. But honestly, i shouldn't have to.. Its not like we have to say "thanks Velkoz for building ap" or "thanks ashe for building damage"... its what the role does... and if you light up the map like a x-mas tree, you've done your job, and no1 can bitch.. if you arnt placing wards though, even in shitty spots is better than none at all when you are behind.. then ofc sm1 is going to call you out.. You arn't immune to criticism just cuz ur playing support.. Again, I respect all lanes and roles equally for their contribution for the team.. I don't really have a "special treatment" for support or any other lane.. Support players just tend to hold a double standard more than other roles, thats my only issue.

Edit: I'd also say the enemy team is generally the first to give you the extra recognition you are looking for.. if your ADC is fed and the end game chat is blowing up, sm1 is bound to point out that they are only fed cuz X support carried them.

Or, "holy shit my team wouldn't focus soraka" or... "jesus that jana was so annoying i couldn't even touch the adc" or "my god that alistar wouldnt die even though he was in the middle of all 5 of us, fucking broken" ...or......."jesus why does support brand do so much goddamn damage"

... Think you get the picture.. Supports prob get more recognition than they even notice.

Bladerunner77771 votes

Oh I see what ur saying now

Yeah, supports don't need a pat on the back for literally doing their job, even if it's a less desirable job.

Dreadlocks1 votes

I sense sarcasm here.. I bet you also think micky D workers should get paid 15 an hr xD

I don't see it as much of a "war," as much as I see it as politics with constant party disagreement, each one wanting control of the government meta, since their party is the clear choice for creating a healthy meta, and any opposition is met with attacks since X, Y, and Z events happened under their party's control, so they shouldn't be taken seriously.

What mage other than vlad gets above 3.5k hp? The other stuff i can agree with but good lord that must be some good weed to make you think mages have 3.5-4k hp

Melledoneus6 votes

Swain can get there if he really tries.

SteelMankind8 votes

I'm curious how one gets 4k HP and good resistances on a build that has a Void Staff, a Rabadons, 3 AP items, and sorc/ionian boots.

AbsoluteSadman2 votes

Maybe not resistances but a good chunk of mages get liandries/rylais/roa or some combo of them. A lot of pure mages end up with a very solid amount of hp

SteelMankind6 votes

ROA, Liandries, and Rylais is about the most HP you can get on a mage without seriously sacrificing damage. They give 1100 health, so at level 18 with that build youd be looking at 2900-3100 health, a far cry from 3000-4000.

Very few mages can skip Void Staff (maybe just Ahri and Vel'Koz?). Rabadons is a bit different, as its not that great on champs with low AP ratios, but its still gonna be good as a 6th item even on them.

So I dont think you can say that mages are running around with 3k-4k HP, decent resists, and having super high burst. Pick 2 of the 3, maybe, but definitely not all at once.

SkZ DoPe2 votes

buy item 3027 item 3116 or item 3151 for the HP and buy item 3157 or item 3001 for resistances, I didn't say it must contain rabandons or void staff, or boots if you are cassiopeia

PureSilvrr6 votes

Umm.... Not many people build all three... and even if you say a lot of mages buy RYlais liandries that's only + 600 health, unless a mages base health is like 2500 where does the rest come from?

And supports just want to be recognized.... You forgot to mention us btw. ;)

Sinlaire2 votes

i guess the supports.... weren't recognized.

SkZ DoPe1 votes

i really forgot them xD i support as 2nd role too but i didnt see any bitching on the boards lately, they have points mostly and dont complain about overall balancing like others do

Paquay1 votes

I just thought it was funny that there's this big thing about making supports more attractive because nobody wants to do it, and they are missing from the list. I find it funny. Nice list.

Meep Man2 votes

To be fair, Tryndamere and Xin Zhao have long been said to be some of the worst designed champions ever
