Petition: Rename Support to AFK

Because that's literally the only thing you do as a ''Support''. No Support mains, you're not carrying, you're not making plays, you're AFK. I'm so sick of these toxic Support mains with huge egos thinking that they're equal to the rest of the playerbase. It doesn't even matter what rank you are, Support = AFK from Bronze to Challenger.

Heh, my Lulu says otherwise. Oh you're about to kill my top laner? How about I ult them, knock you up, give my top laner a perma-slow aura with boosted health pools, and watch as they pentakill your team?

And peasant, please. Last night, at 4 am, I stole dragon with a single Lulu Q with no AP runes, masteries, or items.

Supports call shots, make sure as few people die as possible, and perform their role just like everyone else.

Posts like these make me laugh. It's pathetic.

You say they're toxic? Supports carry the ADC at the start of the game, and a good support can make an ADC look good too. Hush about these egos that support mains supposedly have, you seem to be the one acting the most egotistically here. Supports are a part of the game, and they help the ADC carry. Please don't say supports are useless.

And AFKs don't feed XD.

You obviously are clueless about how the game and supports work. The support for Samsung White was the MVP of World's. Here you have the greatest team in the World and their MVP is the support. If that doesn't' mean something to you, please never post again.

supports are extremely helpful to the entire team, and acting as if they're irrelevant is... well,

a.) ignorant and naive b.) you're a bad team player, most likely

Supports lookout not only for the adc, but the welfare of the entire team. Tanking hits and engaging, healing and shielding, stat boosting, disengaging if need be, even sacrificing themselves for another teammate so the enemy doesnt get shutdown gold. It's very disrespectful to anyone playing this game saying that supports are unnecessary, because a good support can absolutely make sure a game is in their team's favor.

Take your dry ass attitude out of here and shoot it out back, because it's not gonna get you any points for acting like that.

I've played with people like you.

'I don't need you and your awful supporting, I can handle this lane all by myself!'

Me: Kay, have fun. /wanders mid and gets them a double kill when the jungler comes to gank

Meanwhile, that adc insisting they can handle things alone proceeds to die three times in my absence. Sure look like you're doing okay there, bud!

If your realy think support is useless ... Youre stupid. They might not have the biggest impact in team fight, but they are the one who put the fucking ward down that make you caught the enemy jungler to be able to take baron safely. They are the one who cc the enemy carry for the team to one shot them or the are the one peeling for youre carry . They might not have high domage but they have so much potenciel of making play ... If you think support is useless youre probaly a new player or a guys stuck in b5 cauz support is the most important FUCKING role in the game. Warding clearing vision healing cc ing helping the carry to get fed ... Cauz a adc without is support in a early game is shit.

This is the size of a support's ego(true story):

Enemy team has 4 channels. Everyone on their team is channeling and about to win the team fight. Soraka, the support, gets a 5-man silence interrupting all their channels. Jinx gets a triple kill and the rest are killed by the others.

"Nice goin' Jinx!" "WOO! GO JINX!" "Our Jinx is god." Soraka: "... gj."

^true story right there^ That, my dear friend, is the size of a support's ego. The size that allows them to take no credit for a team fight won solely because of them. I will tell you right now, I have never once in my time of playing League seen a support that tried to take credit for a kill, or multi-kill, or team fight won, without it given to them. I've seen supports applauded for it, the same thing there with what happened with Jinx, but truthfully and honestly, I can't remember a single time a support ever said, "that kill was all me."
