Just because you played janna and pressed e on the adc and got 5 assists doesn't mean your whole team should acknowledge your "play". Other players do not expect praise for anything they do.
koshkyra9 votesIts assholes like you that make support mains make these posts....
xXRaichopXx5 votesBut when the support saves your ass (in my case Thresh), they deserve some credit.

rcrc05264 votesI landed a hook why aren't you guys calling me a god?

Mecha MaIphite2 votesIS DIS MADLIEF!!1!1!!
Laxfan522 votesI still think there should be a way to see how much damage you shielded and if you are playing blitz or something you should be able to see how many hooks you landed
Dark Nephthys2 votesNo support main isn't expecting praise for everything they do, they just expect to be treated as an actual player in the game. Supports generally have the most toxicity towards them (Well..Idk Junglers might have them beat..but either way, it's still more than the other roles) and they honestly hardly get praised for things that they do. Rather ADCs generally gets all the praise when it comes to the bot lane and all they do is basically walk around and right click the enemy while the support actually does all the work with setting up kills and saving their ADC. It's probably why most people now just play Burst mages as supports.
xWaters2 votesIt's a fucking game. It's dumb to keep arguing about this all the time. I'm a support/jungle main and I could not care any less than I currently about receiving praise for making plays. All I care about is seeing the enemy's nexus bust and watching them flame each other in the post game chat. Ok?
GeminiRune1 votesI never expect anything other than for me not to screw up my role. Why so mad, lad?
alfavhunter1 votesi play shaco support i drop boxes to block skill shots that would kill my allies, i jump in the way and take the skill shot in stealth then clone when they think im their new best kill target and make the clone run so they chase it and both me and my adc get out scot free as they use ults and summoners to kill my clone
i make junglers fear ganking my lane as shaco support because they end up in 3+ boxes and we get a kill or 2 our of it because of the box fear chains
i make the enemy die 2v3+ when they tower dive us with no kills gained from them because of predictive box placements
sure landing 1 hook as thresh or blits isnt amazing
but if they land a hook on a dashing enemy champion that saves your life, or save you from ur own stupidity by giving their life in a way that ends with you getting a double kill by just AAing, dont think YOU earned the kill and your support fed, he turned your mistake of getting caught out into an advantage for your team through outplaying with mechanics
i stopped playing traditional supports becuase people woudlnt recognize the janna R into a full charged janna Q that keeps the enemy assassin off of you and CCed for 3 seconds before he is even able to react. no 1 apreciated it so now i play a support that is fun AND you cant help but notice my outplays, my saves and my skill, because im playign something you THINK cant be a support and im recking with it
as a ps i can play relatively any support with success, but shaco is the most fun and most noiceable support to get praise for outplays out of all of them ive played
blocking skill shots left and right with boxes is very fun and fast actioned reactive/predictive paced play that i love it, predicting and even influencing enemy movemen with my boxes and fooling them into death traps is halarius, and the clone shananigans are epic. ive fooled entire teams to blow all their CDs on my clone (including ults) them my team goes in and cleans up.
beign a support and being good at it isnt determined by the champ you play, its all skill, reaction time and game knowledge
edit:the level or tilt and flame i cause the enemy team is also a huge bonus :D
Laxfan521 votesJust out of curiosity, what rank do you play shaco sup? Like is it viable in higher elo or nah
alfavhunter1 votesJust out of curiosity, what rank do you play shaco sup? Like is it viable in higher elo or nah
i dont play ranked because my average ranked game out of about 50-70 games was having at least 2 of the 4 listed below on my team
extreme feeder (10 deaths by 20 min)
extreme troll (ap janna jungle anyone?...)
afk by 2 min in
or extremely toxic blames other for his/her mistake till the point it tilts my team
even so i got to gold withing my 1st 50 games of ever playing ranked, then decided it wasnt worth it due to the extra level of stress
the ~20 ranked games after that was playing with RLF and either letting them screw around in ranked while they were playing their drinking game (idk their rules i dont drink, but i think they did a shot every time they died) or helping them get a good placement on their placement matches
no i didnt play shaco in support but my normals games mmr is so high im normally playing with diamond/plats though i have been on a lossing streak the last few games, and if you watch the replays you can very easily see it wasnt my fault for the loss (game ends with a scroe of ~7 to 40 kills i have ~3 deaths and 50%+ kill participation and usually 80% objective participation excluding top tower and rift herald at times and constantly saving people with box placements, either from skill shot blocks or the CC they provide
shaco support can and does work, but it takes your team knowing how to use shaco boxes or you as shaco being good at predicting enemy AND ally pathing through out the game
im typically pritty good at getting the enemy pathing patterns down by the 1st 5 min, and i continue to watch and learn throught the game and justing my play as they adjust theirs
ZT Xperimentor1 votesHey marksmen mains, just because you did the most damage, doesn't mean you had the most impact.
JavelinJoe1 votesHow about we just all agree that you should praise anyone for doing a good job, regardless of their role on your team. If you must be negative, be so to the enemy team, not your own. Who knows, you may tilt them (the enemy team) in the process.
Krigjer1 votesWhen I land every CC I have and use every active/summoner spell available to secure that pentakill for you AND make sure you get out alive, a little acknowledgement would be nice!
Instead:
Wow, this adc is a god!
Lexyy1 votesIf I save your sorry ass, yes, you should be grateful and thank me.
You ungrateful s***.
To be fair, whenever someone saves me - either with heal or attaching or some ult, even if it's not support - I thank them. I think it's a good thing to do and shows you appreciate the effort and bond with your team.
If I save my carry 3 times from sure death, the least thing he can do is thank me.
NGNL Asian1 votesWe dont expect you to praise everything but certain setups/peel/plays you should praise.
