If you get put in Support

Çhåryzård·Jul 21, 2016·1 votes·420 views

Don't take your adc's kills because you don't feel like supporting, especially if you are playing a tank support who won't be doing damage, because then you are responsible for your team having less damage. Don't starve the primary source of ad damage on your team because you picked fill and got support.

And if you picked support on purpose and play it, still do not take your adc's kills. That is not your job, if you want kills play any other role.

I'm a support main but recently I've been playing some of my adcs so I can get the chests on them, and the amount of crap supports I'm seeing just doing whatever, not building support, taking kills, is just awful.

If you don't want to play it, don't pick it, and don't risk it by picking fill.

Kills are team objective, it doesnt matter who takes them. Just try to invest that gold into utility item. If you plan to buy utility items , u should take as many kills as u can.

The support's job is to assists in getting kills, NOT to take them.

If your support is taking kills that you were about to get they are not doing their job.

The midlaner and the adc are usually your primary damage dealers. If your support takes all your kills and builds utility your team is out a lot of damage.

Supports job is to provide utility for his team. ADC and mid laner should generate gold from farming, not from kills.

Adc's can farm but midlaners are not meant to be that great of farmers. They depend more on kills for gold than farm, depending on the midlaner.

Either way some adc's need kills to start snowballing, otherwise they become obsolete. Vayne can become a monster by farming, it's all she needs. Someone like Lucian (although I've been hearing he isn't as good now) will snowball after a kill or two and start doing LOTS of damage.

Mid laners are supposed to be better farmers than ADC. If u watch any pro game or high elo, you will see that mid laners most often have more farm than ADC. Even LCS record was hold by mid laner. If you are ADC and depends on kills to get items, then you shouldnt play ADC. 90% of ADC gold should come from farm, 10% from KDA.

If they have any chance at all getting away it's better to just make sure you get the kill as fast as possible, even if you risk stealing it, imo.

I don't want the kills; I just want them dead. If it means I end up taking the kill, so be it.

I am not going to pull my punches just to protect the fragile ego of an ADC. If he breaks over the support getting a kill, then he was never going to be a use to me in the first place, and I will eat him.

By the way, champions aren't only quantified by their damage. A fed support can throw out spells faster and last longer in fights. They are not a playable minion like the community wants to think of them as.

In my post I'm not talking about taking kills to make sure your adc stays alive, I'm talking about people who get put in support and decide they are going to do whatever they want, take all their adc's kills, and not actually 'support' anyone but themselves.

A fed damage dealing support can be good in fights but if your team has no damage, a thresh with 10 kills isn't going to do anything.

And I don't think they are a playable minion, like I said, I am a support main and I do my job as best as I can, but when I play the other side (the adc) there are so many bad supports it's just awful and I can sorta see why people right now have some support hate. Too many people choose fill, get support, and then decide "well I don't want to play this role so I'm just gonna do what I want" when they have another person in lane depending on them

Too often when I play support, the ADC is simply not set to take the kill. Either A) they are running because they got chunked out. (cause they over extended) B) they end up staying 3 paces behind me, AFK farming while I zone the enemy of CS. (Thus they are always out of range.) C) they don't pay attention to the map, get killed, and I get the revenge kill.

The only other time I end up with the kills is in a chaotic fight where I have to spray all my spells in an attempt to survive.

Only take kills when you know your ADC or other laner cant get the last hit guys

That's what I do, but here I'm talking about supports who just want to get fed and will intentionally take their kills when the adc is about to get it and not at risk of dying

Dodge the que if your support takes ignite. That's an easy sign to tell. Sure, when I support, I'll accidently take some sometimes. Or if I don't think they'll get it, I'll take it. But if I see the adc can get it, I'll stop attacking and see if they get it.

Yea sometimes I might get one by accident (and I always apologize) and I will take it if I think the adc is going to die, but if they are about to get it I'll just do my best to keep them healed or sped up (I main Sona and Nami )
