As a support main I can tell the difference between a good adc and a bad adc within 2 minutes of laning with them. When you know that your adc is about to suck balls what are you suposed to do as a support? I dont feel like standing by a bad player knowing that if I follow them around I will definitly lose the the game. What is your advice?
Ralanr3 votesYou look into their eyes and say, "I'm the carry now."
Hallbuster3 votesPlay Annie support, take all their CS, and carry the game. That's what I usually do.
FioraWillCarry2 votesI had some games where I was Leona support where we were shitting on bot lane hard. My AD Carries were getting double kills, lone picks, wrecking skirmishes and team fights. Then at some point, they start dying in the most idiotic ways. Know what was different ? I wasn't there. My support style consists of me sticking to my AD carry like glue but mid to late game, I usually split off to ward and or support other damage dealers and such.
The point I'm making is that I've learned that the support is the true carry of bot lane. 80% of the time I get auto-filled to Bot, I ask to play support instead of AD carry because I have more control playing as support than as AD carry. And I don't need to play AP supports like Brand, Annie or troll bullshit like Shaco or Teemo. Plain old zero-damage CC supports. Leona, and Nautilus are my favorites.
The only 4v5 I've won this season was on support. I'm no support main, yet I know couldn't have done it playing any other role. A good support is more powerful that most people realize and I'm not talking about AP supports.

Doesn't help, if you're tower hugging too much you
1.) Miss even more cs 2.) Get tower dived from behind either by their mid and/or jungler.
MysterQ1 votesThat shouldn't be happening if you both play smartly in bronze. But just my opinion and experience of bronze.

Don't know what you mean by this. In one game, I had a Jinx tell Leblanc support to "stay away from his cs at 1:38", guess how much CS he had at 20:00, 58. Just garbage. You can probably guess whether we won or lost.
MysterQ1 votesYou have other problems.
If your team doesn't give up and if you can play safe, you can still win. Even terrible ADCs can farm once they get Runaan and some damage.
Although, also at that point. The support should also find farm or plays to make in other lanes while ADC just literally farms the pushed waves.
Support Minion1 votesPlay any support that does damage, and build Zekes fro the ADC, and stay by them, giving them more damage and when they get into long fights that they shouldnt be in they have a chance to carry themselves out.
