If you're support and your adc flames you for any reason..

Leave the lane immediately and roam to help your team. Do not stay bot lane.

If your lane partner starts flaming you (even passive aggressive ?'s count if he is spamming), this is not a person who will help you if you get ganked. If you are low and he is capable of healing you to help you get away, he will willfully decide not to do it and will laugh while "?" pinging you after you die. If you stay in this lane you are wasting all of your own potential in helping your team and you will both inevitably die more, furthering the tilt.

Instead, say 'muting, roaming', and actually mute him, and then begin helping your other 3 teammates. Your ad will quickly adapt and will sit at turret and farm. In my experience, as long as I don't flame, my teammates don't say anything, and are supportive once I begin setting up ganks.

What do you do?

You get control wards, oracle lens, complete your trinket, get mobility boots.

Then you ward like a boss. You set up ganks like a boss. You control objectives like a boss. Do NOT die and do whatever you can to help your team get ahead.

Whatever you do, do NOT start flaming your ad in chat. Do not waste time typing. Let your actions speak for themselves.

depends though. because this more or less assumes the support is playing 100% fine.

not saying its ever ok to flame, but at least keep what they say in your back pocket. if 1 adc says youre not playing forward enough, then thats just his opinion, disregard it. but if more then a few start telling you the same thing, then theres most probably something wrong with how youre playing.

Very doubtful advice. You can actually screw up the game even more. Keep in mind if you roam you need to make sure you get enough XP, in the same time not stealing too much XP from solo laners. In other words your roams should result in big advantage to be effective. If you just stand near your solo laners you will get him back and potentially put under danger his lane (bringing more attention) Not mentioning some players are just toxic people, who still want to win (hence won't be inting) And I actually had bunch of such experience. As long as you mute and adc is ready to cooperate no need to make extreme decisions. (I am not protecting toxic people, they are animals, but it doesn't mean they are inters)

I agree 100%. ADCs tend to forget the support is not their personal slave, but is the TEAM's support.

Or, you could just mute them and any other person who flames you and play the game. The advice you posted isn't really advice, but an anger-fueled rant over your personal experiences as a support.

Telling anyone "muted" is toxic in and of itself. You say don't waste words on a toxic player, then don't...like...at all. Just mute them. You achieve nothing by telling someone you've muted them. You merely inform them that their attempts to annoy and frustrate you have succeeded.

And if you find your experience as a support too burdensome by the fact that SOME adc players aren't nice people then you've the option to play other roles.

If you enjoy roaming then jungle is an option. If you enjoy ganking then jungle is an option. If you enjoy map and vision control, jungle is an option.

Just be aware that you'll likely end up flamed more often as a jungle if you do go that route. And you don't appear at all capable of handling the frustration of other players.

Thats just going to make you lose faster.

Holy fuck this posts talk about supp-adc like if the adc was an abussive husband beating his wife.

And you know what? When it's the opposite and the ass player is the supp I cant leave botlane for fun like you.

Leaving botlane just for tilt is almost inting and then you'll probably blame the adc when he gets dived over and over.

and do whatever you can to help your team get ahead.

Then stay on fucking botlane.

Wow. How intelligent out of you. Then you get reported by not only your adc but also by the rest of you team for griefing. Few moments later... Player Behaviour: "Banned for trolling but I did nothing wrong!"
