I never play support, and dodge when I'm autofilled into support.

Also, lock primary bot secondary either mid or top but never play ad carries, always mages or skirmishers like tryndamere.

no regrets whatsoever.

I started playing support when I've been autofilled into it. My current status is 7/2.

Considering my performance in the jungle has been spotty recently, I'm highly considering switch to support (either main or secondary).

I've been enjoying it thus far and it means I don't have to deal with autofilled supports who are incapable of or unwilling to play the role correctly.

jungle and support would be a natural 1 -2 situation considering you are there to help your laners, protect objectives and focused on map awareness

EndlessSorcererJan 2, 20171 votes

Oh, I'm well aware and have been taking advantage of that.

I have been roaming to assist my jungler rather frequently when contesting objectives or ganking if I see the opportunity
I have been calling for objectives to be taken when I see the opportunity
I have been controlling vision (warding enemy jungle, clearing wards) to provide them information
My habit of constantly watching the map remains, so I can track the enemy jungler fairly well and predict their ganks (warning my allies beforehand or arriving to counter-gank them)

Honestly, knowing how junglers think it probably one of my biggest advantages when laning.

If you create a perfect opportunity for your jungler to gank (i.e. possess CC, place a control ward in the path, make the enemy laner overextend), few will deny themselves the free gold.

YES, i have played a lot of jungle over the past few years but lately I seem to be falling off a bit, just last game i forgot to bring smite for like the first time ever in years (even tho i still went 6-4-19 and we won) ive been queing up in the support position a lot more and it has been GREAT so far i have almost a 70% win rate with around 60 games all ready put in this new season and I enjoy playing it at the same time.

Honestly, it has been rather good for me. I outlined many benefits of having previously played jungle (i.e. knowledge and habits) in my other reply, but I have yet to regret my decision.

Out of curiosity, have you figured out your preferred pool of supports yet? Personally, I've chosen: Nautilus Janna Soraka Lulu Morgana

They offer enough versatility to suit every situation and they are rather safe options due to the nature of their kits.

Then you will never have any right to complain at or about any other Support player since you have no idea nor any interest in learning what they do.

Who said I complained?

That's generally what people like you will do. If you had any interest in expanding your game knowledge, you would at least know what each of the five roles does. It's people with your exact mentality that make being a Support such a shitty job in the first place.

I don't have any interest in expanding my game knowledge, I have interest in smashing bot lane with unconventional picks and steamrolling top with tryndamere.

You will never make it anywhere in League if you do not keep your doors open to other positions, It's not such a big deal to have to play other positions.
