Mid laners queuing as support but not supporting is becoming a problem

The Deckowner··4 votes·373 views

I am not talking about the mage supports like Zyra Annie , I am talking about these people who does the following:

  1. queue as support for short queue time
  2. Picks a mid lane champion
  3. steals cs in bot lane
  4. builds full damage (not building any support items likeitem 2049 item 3190 item 3364 item 2043 )
  5. ruins games

These people need to be punished, a team with a "support" like this most likely loses the game before the game even started.

They aren't breaking any rules though. Not participating in a certain role isn't a real offense, you do it in bot rounds also.

I disagree they're playing their champ and role the way that will most likely rest In. A victory.

You have no right to dictate what champs your teammates should play or what items they buy or what runes or sums they take or how they should play.

There are many ways of playing support and just because they dont build sighstone and they don't t fit your idea of what a support should be doesn't mean that they should be punished or reported for trolling.

Players can play whoever they want, however they want. Stop bullying supports (or any other player) by telling them how to play or what items to build.

Everyone has the freedom to play league without getting harassed about their builds or playstyle.

It is however a problem when they are stealing cs from the ADC and not buying sightstone. Gold income items exist for a reason. The support role is not a second mid. They aid their ADC by peeling, bullying enemy bot lane, and helping to deny enemy farm as much as possible.

Support S are literally judged more heavily on how much warding they do when securing a S rank. You literally only need 20 or so cs. If Riot's grading system feels that's enough, it is.

Fake supports need to clear out of bot lane and leave it to the support mains.

So you are saying I can be your support and play Urgot support rushing item 3089 first item and it is completely fine?

Well of course it is fine for you, you never play adc anyways.

As long as players arent intentionally trolling/feeding/being negative and generally trying to win I am very open and encouraging to anything.

Let them build and play however the fk they want, be it rabadons on urgot , tears on riven, or other bad builds. If we lose I might report them, but usually having a positive attitude is the only thing that i Care about.

yes, it is. that guy will end up in bronze 5, and so long as he isn't intentionally playing to throw or lose the game its perfectly acceptable and there is nothing you can do. so rage harder and you can get a harassment ban, but he wont get any restrictions at all.

I guess it is time for your support to play Vayne support and make your cs 0 in a 30 minute game by stealing every single minion from you.

Silver is a crap shoot right now. Too many different skill levels in one division. Most of these silver players wouldn't be able to climb out of bronze. These guys test into silver, yet aren't bad enough to fall back to bronze, so they sit there and contaminate games.

Yo, you did read the change that you are unable to fall from Silver V to Bronze I this season, right? Past seasons allowed it, but this season the change was implemented for some odd reason.

This is a lie. I fell from Silver 5 to Bronze 3 after a series of losses.

Report them. They'll be punished.

"is becoming" This has been a problem as long as I can remember. Annie "support".

I know Annie can be a great support, but too many Annie "support" players are just mids who want to solo carry and hate support.

although frowned upon, its technically not rule breaking,

dont get me wrong, it ruins the game outright and hurts your chances of winning, but we do have wiggle room to play as we see fit.
