If you all think Enhancer supports are so easy to play, why aren't you all GREAT at playing them???

I've been hearing how enhancer supports (Lulu, Janna, Soraka etc) are sooooo easy to play and they need no skill... so this is my question... why when you are autofilled on support role you SUCK AT IT??? Why don't I always get great supps when I play ADC? I mean you all say Enhancers are for retarded people that have no skill... so, why can't you do even the most basic things with them (time your shields well, use your item actives, do a well timed ult)???

I have no idea why this community thinks that the only important skill in this game is skillshot mechanics... being good at Lee Sin's mechanics doesn't make you any better than a good Lulu or Soraka player... you're just good with one champ...so? great... good for you... but that doesn't give you any advantage over players that are good with other champs that you think are inferior (enhancers are just a good example)... you're just a douche... that's all...

So, the next time you get autofilled at supp, instead of crying like a baby and screaming "please, can I go top, mid, adc or jg??? I don't do supp...", pick one of those "super easy retarded supps" and show me your mad skills please... as an ADC and supp main I would really appreciate it...

they're boring as shit, and you don't need to be good at them to be useful

Whatever your stance is, and I'm not supporting either, but I'm just saying that line of logic you used to justify your stance is flawed.

It's like that good o' "if you think this movie/game/whatever is shit, why aren't you making a good one instead?"

The counter-argument is that one doing something is usually not the same and/or directly related to one analysing something. Because they're related but not the same skillsets. While it helps, but one is not required to be a professional in certain fields or subjects before being its critic.

ADC's are not OP. Tanks are not OP. Supports are not OP. It's the combination, the teamwork that makes it strong. A lot of players seem to be unable to accept that.

Enchanters like Janna skill lies in decision making and positioning.

"But I have to manage 8 buttons"

that's not hard to do, just cause you have to move your fingers sometimes doesn't make it hard. If you want to complain about having to manage too many things to play well go play Starcraft.

"I have to pay attention to everyone else on my team too"

Yeah well so does everyone else you aren't special.

"People who don't like playing enchanter supports are all self centred egotistical assholes that don't play the game to have fun but just to feed their giant egos and flame people"

Do you even listen to yourself?

"Zed, Yasuo, Syndra, even a Lux can all one shot adc even with shield from supp"

Not unless they're insanely fed and the supp is very far behind

"Top lane has Fiora, Jax, Nasus, Yasuo, Riven, Camille which all make a fed adc useless man"

Fiora, have CC don't position like it's your first time adc Jax, have CC don't position like it's your first time adc Nasus, kite and have CC don't position like it's your first time adc Yasuo, have CC don't position like it's your first time adc Riven, have CC don't position like it's your first time adc Camille, have CC don't position like it's your first time adc

Fulfilling one or all of these should unless you're brain dead leave you alive and well with them dead.

Enchanter supports mechanically are easier and their skill curve lies in decision making which as long as you have decision making skills equal to or higher than your mmr level you will win

I'm a support main, though I try to play all the roles equally, and I'm trying to master all of the champions. The problem is the skill disparity between support mains and those who are not used to the role has become too great, and the demands of the role too overwhelming, and the same people who say it's so easy and skillless and freelo would rather chainsaw their own heads open than be support for one microsecond.

A few days ago I went top lane Darius against Gnar. Apparently that's me being countered. The support, meanwhile, was being autofilled (usually autofilled by me), and they got enraged over it, then insisted that supports and Janna were the easiest thing in the world and always won and that they had the late game and the enemy ADC (Lucian) fell off in the mid game and blah blah blah I've heard all of that shit before, and it's NEVER come true EVER.

Bot lane goes 0/14 before the ten minute mark, and the enemy ADC wasn't even that good. I broke even against Gnar at 2/2, eventually losing the first turret, but only after the other lanes were about to lose their inhibitors. I gave the stand-in masquerading as a support an infinite amount of shit, something I never do normally, but she pushed my buttons by claiming supporting was easy and then making a complete mockery out of it.

Play an Enchanter that actually takes skill like Nami and Rakan and come thank me later.

I have a friend that used to be a mid main, then an adc main, now apparently a support main. He rubs my face in the dirt all the time because 'lol support is so easssy' (I am the support main).

While it helps, but one is not required to be a professional in certain fields or subjects before being its critic.

If you're going to analyze something, at least be respectful.
