Yo Silver/Bronze Supps Autofill or Otherwise

Stop. Taking. Full AP supps if you aren't going to supp IN RANK. I've lost many games this season to mid laner Support players that leave our ADC, don't build according to match up, and then feed their asses off. Every time I end up begging as nicely as possible for them to have more than just a sightsone. I beg them to group. They are tunneled on taking farm when they feel its free, KS and engaging and have no regard for any player needing peel. Its maddening. You aren't a Diamond Zyra who doesn't even need Redemption, so quit trying stupid Mobafire shit, you aren't going to carry. If you can't handle this, DODGE. 10-30 min timer and your minor LP is better than adding to the already frustrated community for your "meh i don't feel like it attitude". You're delusional if you think its an effective tactic in our elo. You look like a troll. You're very reportable. You also demoralize the teams when they see you've said "F it" Why? You put your team at a purposeful disadvantage.

"But random ranting summoner I don't care about, ADC's in my elo are noob and I must carry!"

DUH. How are you carrying them if you leave them alone to get stomped, not get ahead in cs, and then die attempting to make up for their lack of power? The game is about objectives and cs anyway. Supps take supp items to make up for the CS that they miss. Then they take vision. Then they take supp items with abilities to help the other 4 farming players maximize THEIR DMG from THEIR CS, not yours. You want more cs in autofill? Buy a blitz/leo/naut and build relic. Yw. You can hit things and not be as boring.

"But but, those other supp players do the ap thing and stomp me, so you're scrub if you think it doesn't work"

Lets be real, when it happens its annoying, but its not all the time.

  1. Smurfs. They come through, and they can rek our elo with ridiculous shit, but they also weigh the risk/reward more accurately than you do and have better mechanics/cs. You don't try and dunk basketball hoops if you're too short.
  2. Pure, sheer luck of the draw. That ap bot combo got matched with guys who derped on playing safe and dealing with it. Do you count on luck for all your games to win? Then don't take a build you have to pray works

LAST. If you're filled in JG, and can't JG (that means more than basics of farm gank smite things) then pls, pls ask for swap or dodge. Remember its about winning the game and you want the best chances you can get. A good jg main even in low elo is about as important as the protection of the adc to winning the game

gl summoners. I write this out of frustration but I mean well for all of us. I want more of us to be applying real knowledge to the game in rank because that makes wins and losses more legit. Victory/Defeat just isn't the same in rank if you got trolls and people not trying.

/end rant

Strangely I never get autofilled when queueing as adc. Maybe that's the new "support role", because adc mains have legit reasons to be frustrated and flee from this role. I don't know how much longer I can put up with all the autofill support shit thrown at me before I move on too.

Yeah. I agree. Its jading a large portion of the community. The guy stuck in fill who doesn't get a swap is pissed. The adc whos stuck with the fill is pissed. the fill is NOT playing like supp

and tbh even a mid laner being filled into jg is TERRIBLE if they don't know how to jg. they'll farm all game with no regards to the new fast paced meta

There are some jg trolls (since they play farmville all game) they have higher cs and score afterwards. SENSE. we 4v5 while this asshole rotates camps and waves before backing and not helping

Here is some advice, try playing duo with a support player who you know, that way this wont be an issue for you anymore, also your argument about smurfs while valid, can also have a silver lining, there is nothing preventing you from playing just like they do so you should try to see what exactly they are doing to get ahead so that you can implement the same strategies. From personal experience all the matters when looking at a smurf game is what happens in the first 15 minutes, cause once they are up 3 or so kills theres no point in watching anymore.

I duo when possible, but you can't always. I'm pointing out that they don't have justification for pulling risky, non support builds if they don't have the skill. by all means learn from the smurfs, but if you don't have a great kd/ winrate with your ap supp pick you shouldn't be taking it at all as the risk is too high. And you piss everyone off

lets play try to guess which support was auto filled

sad part was.. Teemo did EXACTLY what you said teemo:"i dont own any support champs" me: "how does that prevent you from buying a sightstone?

teemo isn't the ONLY reason they lost, but he WAS the reason why thier bot lane went 0/14/3.

Or you could support yourself and make sure your team has a proper botlane
