Thanks Riot, for reminding me support is the most horrible role and why I stopped playing it.

Oh boy i sure like losing my BRONZE TO SILVER PROMOTION FINAL MATCH because mundo fed vayne ultra hard. Wait me and bot are doing good, NOPE VAYNE JUST TRAVELS TO EVERY LANE AND GETS MORE FED YUM YUM Oh boy i sure like the 1/8/5 mundo calling me bad when he's the reason we are losing in the first place. Oh boy I sure wish I could make a difference with leona Oh I jumped on Vayne in a teamfight and blew EVERYTHING and hit her with EVERYTHING... Oh wait my team decided let's focus alistar, oh look i'm dead because after all these years I will repeat that there is ZERO COUNTER to TRUE HEALTH % DAMAGE. Soft counter? Sure, anything that can reduce attack speed, or rather kill her before she kills you, this is basically catching her by surprise or super heavy burst. I tell them to focus the vayne, never happens. God damn I stopped playing support for a reason, you can't make a difference if you have bad teammates, you can't carry them on your shoulders if you're a TRADITION support. Yeah, a few now stand out these days, like say Pyke who basically just builds assassin after his ward item, he barely constitutes as a support because of this, he's basically a blitz with damage, I in fact seen too many games where he actually out kills his ADC by a ton and carries the game by himself.

I had enough points to get one win to get me into Bronze to Silver promos so I said fine sure, oh hey let's blow a few hours to knock this out of the way. NOPE, ENJOY FEEDERS, AFK'ERS, THE WORKS, OH BOY.

Christ on a fucking cockstick. This is why I don't do support anymore, it's a stupid role that relies on you not having stupid players, but if you're in bronze THAT IS ALL YOU GET. "Hey were all 50% or lower in hp, let's do baron!" Of course they all get quickly toasted.

I can't stand this shit anymore, make a 4v4 game mode because honestly, 5v5 is too RNG dependent on getting half competent teammates. Why is it season 3 is the only season I went gold and got my first penta? Oh yeah I decided I was support for too long and got into ADC!

tell me how much did you speak up in game? and when you did speak up, tell me what was it you said?

sometimes all it takes to win games with a noob team is to speak up and not be an asshole about it.

you could have gotten them to abort the baron call if you communicated it properly

you could have alerted team of vayne's power spike and even helped ward around mid and objectives for her roams.

you could have told your team who to focus before the fight actually starts had you said something.

you can't always expect teams to be on the same wavelength, especially if you consider them as having less skill than you.

that's why communication is key. Especially if you're a support main.

Yeah, when you are supporting in low elo, people tend to dismiss you as "just a support". Teammates in bronze and silver will not listen to us.

no yeah i get that, but people respond to clear and concise messages that do actually make sense in the long run.

like, everyone wants to get better at the game right? nobody wants to lose on purpose. They won't say "no" to making the most effective play in a given scenario when they can understand it. You just have to make sure they can understand it. You have to take that extra step for them.. assume they don't understand why this is the correct play, and explain why it is the most effective play. And when they understand, they WILL comply. I guarantee it. This is me speaking off years of experience playing mobas with actual team speak implemented in the game by default.

tell me how much did you speak up in game? and when you did speak up, tell me what was it you said? Heck if I can remember, but I do know for sure I pointed out that Vayne is the main target (She was top laner, not ADC, their adc kinda sucked actually).

sometimes all it takes to win games with a noob team is to speak up and not be an asshole about it. WRONG, you get dismissed no matter your tone down here.

you could have gotten them to abort the baron call if you communicated it properly How many games have I pointed out not to do baron but they do it anyways and die? It's probably honestly a couple hundred times now, remember i've played a few thousand games over 10 years now.

you could have alerted team of vayne's power spike and even helped ward around mid and objectives for her roams. I told them she can out duel any of them, but also that I can't duel her especially as leona. I can hold her down for a few seconds but if you don't jump on her i'm dead meat.

you could have told your team who to focus before the fight actually starts had you said something. told them to focus vayne, told them this MULTIPLE times

you can't always expect teams to be on the same wavelength, especially if you consider them as having less skill than you. I know they are, I have been at least silver since season 4 onward, a few bad games in provisionals and it dumps me into bronze 1, so I'm sitting in a spot I haven't seen since season 1 and all I see is just terrible play after terrible play. I got dumped back into silver in other roles but not my main role which was support for several years.

that's why communication is key. Especially if you're a support main.

k. well, I'm NA as well, and I can say that I don't get dismissed every time I call a play as support. In fact, I get more respect as support than any other role, and I think that's because of the functionality of support. If I was any other role, like a solo laner, or jungle, or adc, my presence would only be seen as a champion that wins the game for them, but as support, I'm seen as a champion that allows my team to win the game...as a team.

You say you've played a few thousand games over 10 years...which means you've been playing since beta. In the end, with all the information you've given me, this just doesn't add up.

Yes there are many toxic players, but not all of them are. The reason most people ignore calls is because whoever made that play call also insulted them in the process of making the call. So, it's either one of two things. You're just lying completely, or you don't know how to make a play call without insulting your team in the process.

Which one is it? or wait, we forgot the third option. I'm the one that must be wrong, right? I'm the one with false experiences that's just lying about everything.

The power of support grows the higher you climb. Just gotta tough it out unless ranked gets reverted to a single rank, then people will have to think again about "chilling" when put in offrole.

Uh, support main that broke. I know the feeling, friendo.

pyke is supposed to out kill his ADC. Kills on pyke are kills on both.

just an fyi, i might not be the best LoL player in the world, I don't play much of it, especially these days.

but i've been playing mobas since like...2004. which is not a lie by any means. That was the year my family finally switched from dial up to high speed internet, which finally allowed me to play the DotA Allstars custom map that blew up on WC3.

I was in the beta for LoL, HoN, AND DotA 2.

Well the 10 years is only a "slight" exaggeration, I been playing since November 2009, not long after the game went public. So it WILL be 10 years this year.
