No, not because junglers are broken and all that.
Whenever I don't go ADC, the team gets a legit support that wards and all that. They also don't get camped so hard
But when I ADC? I get a troll support. Legit I have once had a Jhin support (this wasn't SO bad) and a Teemo support (this was bad).
I see more trolls and retards in Silver than I did in Bronze.
Tell me if you experience this bullsh*t as well.
Kilanost2 votesAutofill is getting you shitty supports. THe ADC woes are really a function of autofill and not the strength of the class as a whole.
datfatguy1 votesNo but seriously, every support I get either does not understand the role and doesn't ward, peel, and takes all my kills, OR they are just a troll. In my case, I just played with a Teemo support. I'd rather be in Bronze than Silver honestly.
CrimsonDawn772 votesIt's not just you I'm somewhere between B2 and S4 most likely, according to other ppl I've seen and been told. I barely managed to pull off B3 in my placements because I got 70% terrible supports. I got a bard that didn't ult once in 20 mins, despite us dying like 5 times, and then after getting told to ult he ulted the fed enemy carry which saved them. I don't think he was trolling, I think he was just very bad. I also got supports that didn't ward even with their trinkets, and I had to do that. I would ping the river push to tell them to ward, but nope, they didn't until I asked or pinged a lot.
Teemo supports are sometimes terrible, idk its people who pick teemo just to troll cuz they don't like supporting. But in my experience they are the ones that are trolls or very bad; I honestly get a sinking gut feeling when I get a teemo supp. I had a teemo that fed twice in 5 mins, as well as letting the enemy focus me and didn't attack or blind them so I died twice there. Then he died again. The enemy adc was 5/0/0 at around 5-8 mins, just because I made the mistake of putting 1% trust in him. Then, best of all, he left lane and went mid to troll farm the jungle camps while I was left 2v1. All the pings or begging in chat wouldn't change a thing. I proceed to spend the next 5-10 mins getting almost totally zoned from cs, and getting killed while under tower. My team only came to help once; I guess they were part inconsiderate, part just staying away from an impossibly fed lane. After that we were teamfighting and this teemo wasn't there, but came in after to ks and then proceed to feed. We were then defending our base and teemo was busy troll farming the mid raptor camps while our base towers/inhibs were getting destroyed. I have never before raged, or sworn tons, or said anything malicious in chat, but this teemo made me FULL CAPS LOCK RAGE. At this point my team had realized how toxic teemo was and vowed to report him. I never played adc for like 4 weeks after that, no joke. I am mid/adc so I just went mid. Thankfully I'm out of that elo hell, but ya autofill supports are bad generally, even in ranked.
Therion771 votesTeemo fed and left your lane? Sounds like the Pantheon support I had yesterday. He spent about 5 minutes in lane, giving 2 or 3 kills to the enemy ADC, and then proceeded to run around Mid and Top lane. He fell so far behind in exp, towards the middle of the game he was useless.
Pantheon support. Oh, wow.
CrimsonDawn771 votesIkr these troll picks. If they don't want to support that badly they should dodge. I saw someone say nothing in champ select but lock in Katarina support. Thankfully someone dodged.
What did you and your team say about Pantheon?
Therion771 votesHe helped top secure or a kill or two, but it didn't make up for having 8 or 10 deaths. By 20 minutes the rest of the team was yelling at him for trolling.
I've had a Yi support a time or two, and Yi can actually work if they time things right, but even that's rare.
CrimsonDawn771 voteslol sounds like fun. What exactly did your team say? anything toxic? I'm wondering because usually I don't get teammates who say things exceptionally bad, even when there's a troll.
Therion771 votesWhat Kilanost said, it's just autofill. It's no different here in Bronze. I had a Brand support a few games that died 8 times in 15 minutes. What do you think happened? Yeah, we lost. People play random champions in the support role thinking that they'll have a greater impact in the late game when they're full build, and then the game never makes it to late game. And when I say "full build," they avoid actually building support items like Sightstone, and refuse to ward.
Bard's R has a pretty heavy impact late game. Blitz and Thresh's hooks both have good impact throughout the whole game. Alistar is one of the best peels for mages and ADCs that you could ask for. I don't know man, people just do what the f*ck they want without second thought.
CrimsonDawn771 votesDo you have any horror stories like that?
Snowman Arc1 votesDon't say that. I played in Bronze 5 on my Smurf (I'm gold 2 on main) and the things I saw there were just suicide-driving.
duckarp1 votesWhat a nice excuse. Autofill. Last season it was "removal of solo queue". I wonder what excuse will come next.
The true reason is much simpler - some people are just shitty human beings.
Kilanost1 votesNot an excuse just something that definitely needs consideration before implementing buffs. The autofill support situation undoubtedly is having an effect on ADC performance.
khorney1 votesTeemo supp is a thing it's not my issue you can't use it.... meaning you need to poke so you 2 can jump on the adc and kill them . But I play malz supp which is a thing I started doing and haven't seen anyone else. Best peel banshee veil passive good harass disengage off w it works. But supp is the easiest thing to play by far . People hate it because it's boring and you have to rely on your team .I can play supp with my eyes closed....you don't have to worry about csing ward and try and peel not hard lol.
AgeOfTheMage1 votesyeah, right now due to autofill people who don't want to supp are supporting, i don't mind trading with them to save the adc some frustration, but sometimes i want to play kindred or fiora etc, so y'know i'm not always gonna support.
