Support mains need to understand that they are not the one who carry the game!

Phuc Dat Bich··4 votes·3,190 views

A support outside the bot lane is just a ward bot!! ok? if you think that you "carry" a game by playing support then you live in a glass bubble!! let me brake it for you!

Imagine that your top laner doing bad your mid laner the same your jungle the same what you will do? oh that right you cant do nothing

Now imagine that you are the top laner and then mid doing bad and the support doing bad and the jungle doing bad what can you do? EVERYTHING you can TP bot and kill them all you can invade with your jungle the enemy jungle you can roam mid and help your mid laner and in the end of the game you are a wall for your team to stand behind!

So next time think before you think that you "carry" games as support because you dont you just get carried every time by 3 other people

Yeah i didnt put the ADC role in any of the situations because yeah the support can help the adc to get some kills but outside the bot lane if the 2 solo lanes and the jungle doing bad YOU CANT carry what that mean? that you GETTING CARRIED in every game and that why you choose to play support because you dont have what it need to carry a game!!

When i play jungle i make sure that i will make my lanes win their enemy and in the end i would do stuff

You as a support you cant do nothing outside putting some wards down and maybe some CC

So all of you support mains who think that you deserve respect go try to carry a game with shitty laners all other roles can do that you cant you expect from us to carry you

So if you dont have the ability to carry a game and you CHOOSE to play a role that cant carry a game if i see you saying shits like "omg you all suck i cant carry you" guess what you cant carry us even if we were doing good because simple you are NOTHING in this game execpt a ward bot and you enter a game expecting from 3 other players to give you a free win so yeah you dont have the right to talk

We support so others can carry. Both are pretty important.

A support "carrying" just means they had a significant influence on the flow of the game to victory.

And if you seriously think a support is a ward bot outside of bot lane, then you have no idea what our cc can do.

supports provide cc, sustain, and some of them even agument damage and defenses. everyone should be warding inside and out side of their laneing phases and with the up grade to warding trinket all characters can place down 3 stealth wards the max amount of stealth wards so that means just as much as the support. but next time you have a leona or braum on your team guy they can just sit back and ward like a bot cause its not like they're passives are gonna help do any damage and they dont have any cc to keep the enemy from getting away. and your sona will just ward like a bot not like she has sheild and healing and gives boosts to allies stats. supports carry adcs early most of the time with their poke and disruption of the enemy adc and if they are saving you when you would have died over and over they are denying enemy kills and gold to destroy your team which has a similar effect as getting a bunch of kills and can be considered carrying

All the flavors in the world, and you choose salt. Were you bad in lane and the support said they couldn't carry you? Because that's your fault, not theirs. Also, it's the goal of a support to protect and try to get the ADC fed in the early game, that way they can dominate the late game. The support buys wards and all defensive items in order to keep the vision up bot (because everyone knows that a true ADC never wards) and make sure the dps can keep coming out. So no, there's not a whole lot a support can do if the other lanes are losing, or if the ADC dies in lane, but it's not the job of the support to do much else around the map. As a friend who's in D3 once told me. "the support carries the early game so the ADC can carry late game". Next time, consider the job of each role before you come here. Best of luck in future games --A Support Main

  1. You're salty
  2. Support can't carry (coming from a support main)
  3. you're grammer is horrifying
  4. I've never said I can carry. Supports are generally utility. We provide help to our teammates to achieve victory. If you are saying supports are bad, then next game, if you get an afk support, blame yourself. If supports are worthless, it still should be an equal match with your team's support being away. You try playing support. The role is design to starve us of farm and kills but to help protect and peel for our carry. I'm just going to watch this post get drowned in downvotes because you don't understand what you're talking about and deserve the hate you'll get.

i play support i even have mastery 5 in 2 support champs but i never say "oh yeah i single carry this game i deserve everything i am so cool" like the stuff the support mains say when they GET CARRIED from 3 other people and they play this role SIMPLE because they dont have the ABILITY as players to carry a game on a solo lane so they choose THE EASIEST role in the game to earn LP and you people have the nerve to say that you deserve respect and all other roles sucks and stuff? gtfo from here

SpartenA79913 votes

Support isn't the easiest role in the game. And i've never met a support that said they carried in a serious tone. Respect has to be given just because they are your teammate. Never said other roles suck, and nah. I won't leave because you don' seem to understand.

LordGeovanni1 votes

easiest role in the game goes either to adc because they have a support that comes to hold their hand all through laning phase and with out the support holding their hand they cant do much for the whole game unless the enemy makes many many mistakes. or jungle for the lack of a clear opponent if every one is warding right free safe farm ganks arn't necessary they are done when convenient. but by no means am i saying these roles are easy just not as hard as the other roles.

Noo offence but I think going Full AP as a support is retarded especially in ranked (normal's tho GO for it), you're not there to get kills. Building Full AP will make you KS your adc all game, which will put him behind. Your job as a support is to have great sustain and to protect your adc. Also what I've noticed is that supports nowadays try to carry rather than peel.

SpartenA79911 votes

I didn't say full AP firstly. Second, I don't do ranked. Its too much stress and if you're stressing over a GAME, it's not a game anymore. A game is meant to be fun.

Break*, not Brake.

We support mains birng out the team's full potential. Granted the wards helps you stay safe and to get picks, but warding is everyone's job.

We typically offer alot of hidden power (Hi, Leona Passive) that people don't see.

Try to insult your support in 10 games and then praise them for 10 games. I think you'll see a noticeable difference when the support goes salty on you.

Professor Ward4 votes

you are so wrong its not even funny..... ward bot? im actually offended by this silly, silly, statement. The fact that i average over 20 HARD assists per game with over 70% of them coming after lane, makes your entire statement flawed. No you shouldnt be dealing all the damage in the world. But setting up picks, healing, CC, and supplemental damage are all things that change the game dramatically. Im sorry you have never been handfed by a support. But thats what i call a 2nd hand carry.

Nobody ever said supports can single handedly carry, no idea where you got that from.

If I'm on support and get an ADC who is constantly complaining and insulting? I'll mute you and head over to another lane or even go help the Jungle stay alive.

Lugg2 votes

You really don't understand what it means to carry a game. ANY role can carry a game. A support carries a game by using their abilities to allow their team to win a teamfight which leads to the team getting Baron and winning the game.

A good example of this would be an Alistar support who flashes into the enemy team, knocks them up, and then headbutts the enemy carry into his team where they get blown up. It's now a 4v5 with the enemy team missing their main damage source and an easy teamfight victory for the team. That's carrying the game right there.

I'm guessing you think supports are ward bots because that is all you do when you are the support.

SirGrey271 votes

Noo offence but I think supports who THINK they can carry mostly go Full AP or hybrid or wtv, which quite frankly is retarded especially in ranked (normal's tho GO for it), supports are not there to get kills yet they're always trying to play aggressive and end up KS'ing. Building anything else than a PROPER SUPPORT BUILD WILL make you KS your adc all game, which will make him tilt late game. Your job as a support is to have great sustain, protect your adc, and offer vision.

Lugg1 votes

I think you misunderstand what carry means. It doesn't mean getting the most kills. It means making the plays that win your team the game. Supports do this very well since they enable their carries to get those kills.

As for the "carry" supports like Annie, Vel, etc. They sometimes HAVE to start building full AP since the ADC is just plain horrible and you know they can't carry the game. I have had games like this where I was support and had to do this.

ImSoFull2 votes

Yes i'm not carrying meanwhile im the only one peeling while you guys jump on the tanks like idiots. Or making all these sick catches and plays with Thresh/Blitz/Ali ect. Or saving your ass. Or being the only one warding because "Muuh damage is too important" Getting the adc fed so we can carry your feeding ass aint shit either right? The fact that you think supports are only used for wards just proves that you know nothing about the role support. Or the fact that you think that doing more damage is carrying.

I wont outright say "that game was won because of me", ive won games because of how i play. Weather its keeping the last surviving enemy away from base so they cant defend it, initiating the fight, telling your team to let the enemy have drag while you take baron, hitting an enemy out of position with morg Q and getting them killed, things like that. Supports arent meant for damage, they are mean to SUPPORT. Try playing a bot lane with a duo ADC, if your enemy lane has any kind of skill, they will beat you post lvl 6.

Dediguise1 votes

You basically just said people play support because they are not skilled enough to play other roles..... This is laughable. Being a sup main means dedicating yourself to looking out for your entire team. And currently the primary playmaking role is sup. Look at Alistar, Leona, Thresh, etc. Catching players, initiating, counterinitiaing. Currently these roles fall on the sup. Without a good one you force your other lanes to do these tasks, which forces them to lower their damage output and makes THEM less able to carry the game. They frequently have 3- 5 activated items in their inventory, giving them upwards of 10 buttons that they have to use in the correct order to keep their entire team alive. And each of these activated items is an additional ability, requiring practice and time to master, just like any other.

Supports "get carried" when their ADC and team steamrolls but that often happens after the ADC hitches a ride on their back for the whole laning phase.

If I'm providing you with damage and I'm the reason you get kills and live to tell the tales, I'm carrying as much as you are.

Hello Vârg Vikernes, I am a Support Main, Before i go to my main point i will have you know that i have a Champion Pool of at least 5 champions for each Role where i can help my team in any way the champion can provide, and i do very well at it. I make sure that i am able to Carry in other lanes mostly to prove that dumbheads like yourself wont be able to spew that "You support because that is all you can do" Bullshit.

Support Role in my eyes is the most Challenging role due to the Expectations of the role in general. But that is only my opinion.

These however, are the facts about the support role. Warding to you may just be "i will place a ward in this bush so i can see who goes by it". However Maining the support role i see it differently, What is the best place to ward based on the enemy champion jungler or mid laner? Instead of putting it on Red Team's blue buff i will put it Between the blue and the Closest Exit to Bot lane to have full vision on the Jungle paths and to be able to determine what camp, lane, or Turret he is going to go to next. Did you think of that? Most likely not.

I will not lie, we get carried, However, Carrying is not our job. our job is to Support. Which means we are here in order to ensure that People (even ignorant fools like yourself) get as many kills as they can while keeping them safe while doing so. (AKA Spoon Feeding, which is much more valuable than Carrying)

Supports have some of the best Types of CC. We have what i like to call "Map shifting" To where we make certain parts of the map a "No go" for the enemy. ofcourse other champions have that but it isnt as strong since their stats are more based on the Offensive,

You said that if the other lanes are doing bad then YOU CANT carry? Well, ofcourse we cant. But i will let you know that i have Made "Lost cause Games" into Victories with the Powerful Ultimates that the Support has to offer. Want to know how these games were won?

My understanding of Offensive, Defensive, Mutual, Turtle, and Trap Wards. Usually in these Hard to win games i go for my Defensive ward Lineup. i ask my team to place wards in certain areas. and we begin our Last stand,

The hard cc that i am given as a support, With wards placed you now have complete vision of the pathing the enemy can go through. (Bard is the example i will use since he is the best Game changer for me" When the enemy draws near Locate who is imobile and annoying and who is more in a group. Once the first enemy falls into place Ultimate the rest of the team that may be farther and do a 5v2 in most cases. with the remaining cc "Ally cc and Bards Q" we can lock down the first two and focus on the other three after finishing the first two off. And since this is late game, Death timers are long. Take advantage, to take baron or dragon and the enemys buffs or Even an Inhib if you can. And prepare for another strike.

Look at that? i just told you my epic adventures of Turning a game around with Support abilities and Support knowledge. Same can be done with other supports.

Go ahead and tell me what you like sir, i have been on both ends of the pole, the Mage the Bruiser, the Assassin, the Marksman, the Jungle Stalker (Shaco preferably ^_^) and the "Support" and honestly i am always greatful for an amazing support if i am in another lane because i know that they know the art, Not gonna lie i see most Solo laners as Brutes sometimes, however they have their purpose and we have ours . Are there bad Supports? Yes!!! most definately! however there are Bad players in all roles.

                                                                 --Caytheles the Support Main
