Tip for those playing support

If your Adc isn't autoing minions or using abilities on them, they probably don't want the wave pushed so don't just do it for them. For me when I play Adc my support just randomly autoing minions or pushing the wave can throw me off on CSing or I don't want that wave pushed cause I don't want ganked or am trying to deny the enemy farm

If they are going ham on the minions then help them push the wave. They may want to pressure the enemy, or push the wave in before they go back. If your Adc is doing this please don't just back and leave them to try and desperately push the wave in by themselves.

When you play botlane your in it together with your lane partner so try to be nice and think of them before doing stuff.

A friendly tip from a guy who plays a good amount of Adc and Support.

THANKS!!

Lol, i had a brand that did this and seeing as im not so good with farming in general in the first place, especially as adc..... I asked them to stop autoing. Asked them to stop using their W on minions. They kept doing it and so the rest of my team was like "supports better than the adc". I mean really, its plain and simple logic, i was nice about it the first 3 times i asked, i waited about 3-5 minutes inbetween reach request.... Explained why i said this.... Then i was like "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD YOU DARN WELL TURN OFF AUTO ATTACKS OR WHATEVER" and proceeded to explain how to turn off autos. They still continued doing their own thing saying "go to a different lane" so i just ignored them and stayed in bott a bit until the wave got too pushed then i went to mid as the mid laner was coming bott anyways, and low and behold, they were 4 man ganked about 2 minutes later if that! I mean its only happened about 5 times previous lol.

Supports not hitting the minions is something I cover in my supporting basics guide video...

Its long, has no music, and is a little bit too PSA/Educational to be enjoyable so no one watches it.

I agree though; the real problem is that your supports dont know, dont understand, and probably dont think its a big deal. Good luck, sucks, but supports get better at higher elos.
