When I Bard I roam when my adc is at altar or the enemy has backed

When do you roam? Personally i find it infuriating when a Bard is supporting me and always roaming leaving me to 2v1 and take pressure and zoning from a Twitch/Raka for at least 23 min of a game. Basically not there to zone, to heal to do anything for bot actually. And of course costing turret, and then as an adc you are forced to also try to get bot lane solo without the Bard because he is basically everywhere but with his team or his carry.

It's not like this Bard was warding even, 12 wards in a 40 min game is ridiculous low for a support.

So, if that Bard see's this. You screwed us all.

That is not how to Bard.

As a support, i hate it when i am not even able to roam without my ADC full walking into a 2v1.

Yes we should be there to balance it out, but you should be able to 2v1 for at least a little. And if i ping danger then they are going to dive so get the hell out. If i can tell what is about to happen, then you can see it to if you just decide to take off your cs glasses.

2v1 a little yes, but not for the first 20 minutes of a game. I mained support for 3 years and get it, I play all lanes and still have the support mindset so I don't walk into stuff, I support my team and I am map aware and always find myself countering "jungle to jungle" ganks as well as punishing any attacks on whoever supports me.

My point is not about who can or cannot roam, roaming is part of support, but being gone for more than 10 minutes at a time is not support, especially in the first 10 minutes of a game. It is anti-support.

Not being able to cs because of zoning by a bot lane adc and sup when they know your support is never in lane makes it pretty impossible to cs.

SO, there is a right way and a wrong way. 10 min of roaming is the wrong way, doing it once is bad enough. Doing it all game is ridiculous. Roaming for a few minutes at a time to ward and support other lanes is perfectly fine but In a 40 minute game I saw my support 2 times during lane phase, at start of game and at around 23 min.

Keep in mind, I am not whining as an "adc brat", I play a shit ton of Bard so my OP is about those Bards who are too focused on charms and not focused enough on controlling proper vision and opportunities for their team.

Sorry if you hate being left alone even once. It sounds like your game is not that bad if somehow you were still in laning phase for 23 minutes.

Where the hell do you get that from my comment above that "i don't like being left alone even once"? Can you read properly? Or maybe you are just having a problem with comprehension... it is not about leaving once and it is not about leaving for a few minutes many times. And I can handle myself in lane, the fact is he was gone for 20 min at the start of the game collecting chimes and I was left pretty far behind being denied in lane by 2v1.

I was stuck laning because I was behind.

So don't put words into my comment that were never there. The post is about Supports who are "NEVER" in lane, not supports who occasionally roam.

If you have nothing genuine to input except create meaning from words above that do not exist then just lay off the post.

Your comments are completely off topic and if you just want to type jabber for the hell of it find another post, your words are pointless and off topic.

I didn't add words. You said a support roaming even once is bad enough. doing it once is bad enough. bad enough.

I don't know what you mean by laning. But if laning phase is lasting 23 minutes, then somehow you are holding tower 2v1, you may be behind in gold and cs but the other team isn't really punishing you/your support.

I am sorry. If you want to rant you can rant, if you want sympathy though, I don't know what happened but you are complaining about a support leaving even once. Yes I agree leaving for 20 minutes is excessive, but ADCs who can't play safely 2v1 are just as bad as supports who roam depending on the situation.

I was referring to leaving once for 10 minutes and this bard was gone a total of the first 20 minutes in a 40 minute game so ya, it was pretty much a shit thing, and my rant became one when you thought you would come in and be smarter then everyone and offer your senseless advice which has been repeated countless times

If you want to feel smarter then others just find another post but first, please learn to read properly and not take things out of context. Comprehension is a skill which maybe you need to brush up.
