Removing the support role

HACKYMANA·Sep 14, 2018·2 votes·1,416 views

Imagine this you get to play a role you wish to play in a ranked game... This for now is only a dream because of the dreaded support role that nobody wants to play,not you not me not even a LCS support main... I know that 90% of the female playerbase prioritizes being a defensive wan-ker but nobody else is really thrilled to play the role.

I would rather have fun than be forced to play something I dont care about at least remove autofill because its not autofill its supportfill,I would rather wait 3 more minutes than spend 40 minutes in damnation of boredom.

Ditto.

Just because a lot of people don't love it doesn't mean no one does. Really interesting to see someone blame their maleness for their hatred of support and assume all other males are the same. Quite the logical leap.

The only thing I see is "Knights" jumping on the train of simply ignoring the topic and attacking me for mention of female player base playing support, I am sorry but 4 out of 5 females I have ever met on league played support.I dont care about who or why would play such a sadistic role I am just saying remove autofill because A LOT OF US DONT WANNA PLAY THAT STUPID SHIT

I think it's fair to not want to be autofilled.

I'm actually not a fan of autofill as a system. I think it sucks. But when you attack other people's masculinity for not liking the same champions as you, it's not going to earn you any friends.

What you've done in this thread is set up a ridiculous argument using hyperbole to try to strong-arm people into agreeing with you. People don't like that. If you, instead, made a logical thread about why autofill isn't fun for a large portion of the playerbase, you could probably have a really nice, really well-liked thread.

Word of advice, though: leave gender out of it if you want to try again. Playing support has little to do with gender, and it makes you look silly to say that.

Same here, I love the support role since before season 2 because of the vast difference between a good and a bad support. What I hate is bad ad carries that don't know what a support does and expect me to tank any skillshots aiming at them even when I am playing Janna. P.S. Not female either

Same here, I loved playing blitzcrank and pulling good pulls (no pun intended) since very early (so early I dont remember which season). These days Thresh and Leona have only complemented that fun.

Pyke is really fun support too. For the carry-support role

That’s not the stereotype, he’s saying 90% of the FEMALE player base plays support. Did you even read it?

based on what? his opinion?

HACKYMANASep 17, 20181 votes

Based on past experience, you want to play support play it if not I dont see a reason such a role should exist...

SaezioSep 14, 20182 votes

He said 90% of the females prioritize being a wanker. So... OP is strongly stereotyping in a sexist way. Maybe previous posters reply didn't contradict said stereotype though, if you want to be technical about it. xD

I only play support because (A) last hitting is boring and (B) I dont need to use my K/D/A as a surrogate for a sex life LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Support is the best role imo

saltranSep 14, 20182 votes

The supp is the Trainer and the Adc the pokemon.

So I have to love supps.

Removing shitty attitude players

Imagine this you’re playing a game you enjoy and all 4 of your teammates are having fun and communicating well....

For now this is only a dream because of the existence dreaded shitheads that have negative and misogynistic outlooks in life, generally because they have few friends and no positive supportive female role models to help shape their personality into anything that could be considered more pleasant than a genital rash in their life.

I would rather play any of the five roles than have wet-blanket dickweeds complaining about anything they can even though no one cares about them. At least remove their access to the chat system because with them it’s not ‘chat’ more than it is ‘whine.’ I would rather wait another few minutes than spend half an hour with nerdrage.

Who’s with me?

They should make 2 ques. An autofill que where you can get autofilled but que times are faster. Then the other que where you can't get autofilled but que times are slower

I have Support as my secondary and I still get autofilled Bot or Mid sometimes... so please remove bot, mid and jungle because all I (and when I say "I" I mean EVERYBODY) really want to play is top and support.

Things that make support interesting/fun/necessary/main-worthy

Knowing your counters against three (sometimes four) match ups. You need to know how to counter/synergize with adc/support/jungle/and sometimes roaming mids. I think that this is a fun part of the game.
setting up big plays.
warding wars.
acting as a second jungler.
Getting 4 honors because you support carry a game

No other position is quite like support.
