Dear supports, stop roaming after you lose bot tower early.

This must had blown over my head or something but why do supports love to roam mid after losing bot tower? It makes no sense to me so can someone explain why I see this every single time a support loses bot.

Because once you lose the tower your lane is over.

The enemy bot lane is going to come mid after taking bot tower, thus the support roams mid to likely help the solo mid laner vs 3(or 4 once the jungler comes) other champions?

Because staying bot is a really good way to get murdered by the enemy jungler over and over again

Wait. You're whining because your support goes roam after you lose lane. You should be sitting at 2nd tier tower and freezing. If their bot lane comes to push 2nd tier then you can't blame only your support that your team isn't punishing the enemy for sitting so far up. Like doesn't matter the elo supports need to go roam, especially when their adc is the safest adc that is also farming and stacking (muramana) so there was nothing wrong with her moving around the map. You should have no problem clearing wave and not dying as an ezreal.

My job as support isn't just to make sure you do well. If we've completely lost lane and our tower is gone, you need to farm responsibly under our tier 2 bot if top refuses to lane swap. Yes, as support, I should be there to make sure you can do it, but I ALSO need to go and make moves on the map so we don't have our other two laners and jungler also lose out.

Having ADC get behind doesn't mean Support needs to be behind as well. We have to affect the map. Support isn't leashed to the ADC, and shouldn't be.
