Dear Supports
Since every day we seem to get a message from supports that think they're somehow above being garbage
-Do not take heal. Or TP or cleanse. Or anything other than exhaust or ignite. -Do not roam if you don't know how to roam. Don't leave your adc in a bad 1v2 where he's forced to give up turret or die -Do not build some troll shit, I understand AP is good on Sona but generally you want a sightstone tier 2 boots and an aegis pretty much every game. -Do not sit back behind the adc doing absolutely nothing. Your job is actually to fight in lane, at least as much as it is the ADC's job. Don't be that sona that just stands behind turret all day. -Do not take CS if you can help it. You have items and masteries that generate you the gold you need. Your teammates don't, that's why they are taking the minions. This goes for the entire game, not just laning phase. Obv I'm not counting relic procs. -Do not kill yourself to clear wards or put me in a bad 1v2 position to clear wards.
In general stop acting like leaving the ADC 1v2 is no big deal, as I've seen a lot of threads claim it's ok to do this or even to leave lane entirely if you don't like how he's playing. This is basically turning your game into a 4v5 sacrificing your ADC's power like that. Everyone understands that when a jungler ganks mid you usually cant farm and fight while 1v2, so I dunno why you think it's different bot lane.
Supports are super important. And when you play ADC they have a huge effect on how well your laning phase and game in general goes out. That makes it all the more frustrating when your support doesn't play well, or worse, is a dick or doesn't know support basics (like, yes, don't take the damn CS). For some reason the circlejerk on the forums has a double standard where everything is basically the ADCs fault or his frustration with a poor innocent support soul is never justified. That isn't true though, and Support players need to take responsibility for their own failures and toxicity too.
is good
, which synergizes with heal, and then the adc has exhaust, which is generally better for a 1v1 duel. It's honestly probably better than raka exhaust, adc heal.
aren't free pal, like any adc knows what it is like to buy something that gets destroyed easily.
, you can't roam, cus i say so...
I always stun when the enemy decides to get out of position. i always shield my adc when they get harassed. i will always max heal first to ensure we stay in lane for as long as we can to get as much cs and pressure in laning phase. Ignite will always stop the enemy adc from killing mine because they dps off ignite ticks and my empowered aa's stuns and my adc's following up will burst his heal to nothing. I always ward when i get Sighstone. I always rush ninja tabi for the movespeed and armor so i can tank and roam when needed. I always only engage when my ignites up because its a guaranteed kill. i peel, i dive, and i die, for my teammates. i will always ult before tower dives or enemy team engages. I do everything i can, i am a true support main. G-gems.
