I consider myself a support main, but Iv been spending my time mid to avoid feeders. I do however get autofilled into support sometimes... but since I got placed in Brunz 4 (made it to silver 3 last season so I of course get placed in B4) and am only up to Bronze 2 atm supporting is hard. Its even more difficult when Im supposed to support an autofilled ADC.
Not exactly an autofill rant thread, just more of an offering of info for those out there why supports are hard to find sometimes.
Supporting in lower elos is hard because the skills, mechanics, and basic knowledge of champs and what & how to win games is lacking. This is on top of people picking non META ADCs (or lots of champs, top, mid, jg etc.) with low performance, team not using pick intent, or putting together a dumbass composition that cant work together half the time. How do you support someone who dosnt know what to do? Or worse, thinks they should be doing something that is objectively a bad idea? You cant. So supporting sucks cause of that sometimes.... That in a nutshell is what is making supporting hard on me.
So after reviewing many games, it was my determination that I should go mid. Im not even that great at mid, Id prefer top in most cases where Im not supporting, but it HAS TO BE mid. This lane is one of the worst feeding lanes of all my games where some dipshit has ruined our chances of winning by feeding mid lane. I now go there to try to:
A. Reduce the feeding coming from that lane. B. Help my team as best I can by roaming. C. Avoid the nearly unsupportable ADCs that make up the Bronze MMR spectrum, as well as the Autofill ADCs that are often even worse.
So autofill is there to make queue times shorter cause there arnt enough supports... and its one of the factors that makes me not want to support. Brilliant Rito. "There isnt enough food for everyone, so... put poison in some of the food so some people die... YEAH SOLUTIONS!" Rito 2016-2017
Despite all the headaches, I still que up for support on purpose sometimes cause its in my blood.
Does anyone else feel displaced from supporting cause of baddies, autofill, or other reasons? Any other lanes suffering from displacement? Id like to hear you guys thoughts.
