After 200+ support ranked games, thinking of quitting the role...

option paralysis··20 votes·1,702 views

I can understand why people don't like to play this shit role. Bot is likely to get camped and fucking 4 manned most games and there's nothing you can do in solo q. I can have the whole fucking map warded and even then sometimes my adc will become blind for few seconds and ignore my pings. Or better yet, you're gonna do all you can do to help your adc get fed, think you're gonna win the game now easily and then your adc walks into the enemy team dies, writes "lol i dont care" and you get demoted. I was actually in high d2 and now I'm d5. I never felt so useless like I did in the last 20 games. Didn't matter if I won lane/lost lane/went even, warded, tryharded, roamed, got tilted, was positive... I just lost every game. Another amazing feeling is when you literally have the same score and items as the enemy support but you lose simply because they have a better team. That being said, I know if I'll try to main any other role, bot lane will feed all the time.

Fuck autofill and fuck matchmaking.

The weak are already rooting themselves out...

I mean I know support cant carry as hard as other roles, but you will often get a autofilled support and if you leave bot then bot might just feed their ass off.

200 support games is nothing. All my accounts combined i've probably played 3-4k games

No point in maining support below high ELO unless you have a duo tbh.

It feels the same playing adc. Support and adc need eachother to function. If you have a shit support as adc, you're fucked. If you have a shit adc as support, you're fucked.

But you want to know what fucks both of them at the same time:

Fucking 4 mans

in the past 10 games of top, ive had fun in 3 of them.

meta champs are designed to win lane and then carry late game.

u play anyone that isnt meta and u have an awful time.

That's why I play Vayne and Cassiopeia top.

They can cheese most meta tops.

Be glad to know that your experience with this game is not unique.

The plain reality is being a support main wihtout a duo is basivally shooting yourself in the foot. Something I've noticed a lot of is just not being at all in sync with my laning member. Neither one of us are bad players, we just have completely different timing rhythms and you can't really make up for that.

Weird thing is support has been nerfed. Back in the day you could ward literally everywhere, now they cap your wards at 4 -_-

StoryDuck2 votes

That's not a nerf its a saving grace. Trust me, you don't want to be forced to by 7000 wards in each game instead of...ya know items.

Duo > solo as sup

Same thing with top lane, except the "adc" is the other 4 "teammates"

I started playing mid/adc in solo queue instead of mid/support for similar reasons, and I won't be going back.

That said, I did miss playing support, so I tried something else: Playing support(/adc) in flex queue (I still almost always queue alone, occasionally duo). I've found this to be a much more enjoyable experience than supp in soloQ.
