People need to realize this game isn't all about kills.

I was just in a game with a super (soaker) toxic graves, apparantly he had looked at all my orianna supp matches and said they were bad, the thing is, i had plenty of assists, just barely any kills, last i checked, thats okay for a support ._. then again, prolly just a toxic person being toxic

Tell them if they care about KDA, go play Call of Duty. It annoys me when they're running around trying to pad their score when we could get Baron or a tower.

funny thing is that your k/d/A is still good. its just toxic players dont look at the A. they look at K/D. cause they dont seem to have the mental faculties to understand that supports should have a low K/D, but a high K/D/A

I've had people leave the game for telling them that. Triggers their peanut brains too hard.

In all honesty back when i played COD even THEN when i was like 6 i hated people that did nothing but kill and ignore objectives. (i played dom)

I remember someone try to convince our 2/10/49 Soraka that she was useless. That game we had 60ish kills. She assisted with 51/60ish kills. That is in no way bad. People need to learn that the A in K/D/A is still very important.

I also saw an assassin carry jg making fun of a support for only have 2 kills when they had 6 or something. Shut up you're 2-4 he said. Then thankfully everyone else stood up for them was like ... +20 assists man and he's a tank support

I once had someone tell me I was carried in a game while playing sej JG.

I had 0/0/41 and had top/mid going nuts over me cuz I helped snowball their lanes.

But cuz I had 0 kills I was clearly shit, despite the fact sej really doesn't need them.

As a fellow sejuani main I can understand what you are talking about. I will 80% of the time leave kills for my team since I rarely need them unless I want to rush to finish or build an item, or I just feel like making my score look better.

But then why is there a damage to champions stat but no damage to Structures? Also it only shows kda at end of game, not towers destroyed. I'm an objective first player too, but the game places more emphasis on glorifying kda than anything else.

Riot pandering to casuals instead of showing them how the game is intended to be played

Just lost lane to an ahri she got 1 kill off me and 2 off Botlane I got Mid and TOP tower then dragon and both Bot Towers my KDA was garbage but a Victory is a Victory

Never trust anyone who starts any sentence with the words

"I looked at your match history and..."

Your match history means nothing. You could have had a bad game. You could have won lane and then gotten camped. You could be a support who actually doesn't KS (If something like that exists). Your match history can only tell you so much about the game. I remember last season someone told me I was a bad Velkoz because I was 3/3 in ranked at the time. Never mind I was over 2.0 KDA and over 50% kill participation in all games. Match history isn't everything.

go back to season 3 any time assassins wernt in the game or i feel like all of season 4 and season 5 before adcs got massive buf.... rewoked so that their cooldowns are lower and more damage and at the same time their items lost about 10 ad on average while the things that countered their items lost 10-20 armor on average along with 150- 250 hp

I've had some fairly solid games. My favorites are when either team could win, and the slightest mistake can ensure victory for the opposing team. Adds rush and adrenaline, making it more rewarding in the end! Even if I end up losing games like that, I walk away thinking

I once had a bot lane tell me that winrate mattered less than kda. Thank god this was normals, no way they had a winrate over 20%

LordGeovanni1 votes

these are the type of people i get ranked placed with and if im just bad and not fixing my problems and just blameing my allies then so be it. you cant tell people things like pressure or bait but every one in 140 games but when you try to do whats good for the team even if it doesnt land you a good kda you are just a bad player and need to get better see look at your be all end all score on that tank why didn you have 28 kills with 1 death and what an assist

Teridax682 votes

That's unfortunately a classic, yeah. Flaming anyone in-game is already not a good starting point, and neither is picking on someone else's KDA, but if the player's putting you down for supposedly not having enough kills as a support, then it's obvious they're just looking for an excuse to be toxic. It's best to report them and move on, especially since they would've likely flamed you for "stealing" kills if you did have a high enough amount anyway.

It Hertz When IP4 votes

The best reply to flaming like that, from what I've seen, is to subtly reference the fact that matchmaker pairs people of similar skill levels. Thresulting fireworks are so awesome... sometimes I make popcorn.

swordofsun2 votes

One of my first ranked games, placements last year, I was doing really bad. Mid and jug started flaming me and my ADC Ez just replied with, "We're all terrible. We're in the game together." Shut them up so quick.

Ralanr2 votes

I agree, but I do not mind kills. Though if I'm not playing a tank I get antsy if I don't get a kill because kills means more money and I'm not playing someone who has AoE clear for minions sometimes.

Silmaril2 votes

dw, I once went 1/8/26 as Rammus jungle once and got flamed.

For having too many kills.

so maybe I shouldn't have, but as a support main, I had to look you up on op.gg. I will say there's room for improvement, but we all have that. your assists and kills are good, but you do have a lot of deaths in a lot of your matches. I tend to try to avoid dying whenever possible, even if it means not picking up the assist or even missing the secure. if there's a high risk of dying, don't go in. it takes a lot of practice to know when to go in and when to fall back, so just keep at it!

Overall though, I'd say your Ori games so far are pretty solid. Good luck on the Rift! [slayer-jinx-catface]

Bots Whilst High2 votes

Yes, if more people realized this getting out of bronze would be much easier. People fight by dragon pit when dragon isn't up for like 4 minutes, people fight near blue buff when blue isn't up for 2 minutes, people fight near inhibs that are already down when they could fight under 2 nexus turrets. Kills are an important part of the game but it's becoming more and more my mentality to play safe and wait for jungle pressure. If more people would think "can I do this safely" instesd of face rolling the first champ they see it would be so easy to climb. This elo is enough to put my head through a wall.

correct me if i am wrong, u are either bronze or silver xD? and people in those Elos try their best to blame others to lie to themselves that they were doing nothing wrong while they are... just ignore them and try to play a normal support in the game because being the support doesnt mean just giving kills to the adc, its to protect him and the team and one of ur jobs too is to stop ur team from doing stupid things, thats what being support is all about not just assists count.

it was normal draft, i don't like rankeds playerbase

even if u dont play ranked u will still encounter biased players and they will keep doing stupid things until u lose the game

As a Morgana main converted to Brand support, I disagree. I've had so many games where I can't save anyone as Soraka and Janna lategame and having the inverse happen with Brand that it just feels good to keep my team alive by killing the enemy team.

LordGeovanni1 votes

not being able to influence the game when your teammates are brain dead as a real support/tank and this topic dont even cross each other.

warmcorntortilla1 votes

Just remember some people are twelve and the biggest problems they have to worry about is their League of Legends kda. Other people have, you know, lives, problems and perspective and realize hey! this is a game and sleuthing out other people's kda is... kinda weird. Not normal. A perhaps less-than-reasonable way to spend one's time.

TS Media1 votes

But muh KDA.

rtbf761092711 votes

People who go through their teammates match histories and look at who is doing badly on what just to comment on it... can definitely be muted and have nothing of use to say. In fact quite the opposite.

They are probably big pieces of shit that feel the need to micromanage everything their team does and comment on every mistake
