PSA: please don't leave your support to clear side wave

I literally want to rage quit when I am trying to stop a stack of 30 minions from crashing into the inhib while my carries just farms the jungle and ignores my assist pings.

SERIOUSLY WTF

That's why I just get Zz'rot as a high priority item now. It even slows down Supers for quite a while.

i get it everygame because of this reason, too many retarded carries.

Zz'rots has been kinda bad since Riot nerfed it. It's a super high cost item for a support and is gold inefficient item with stats that aren't very beneficial to a lot of supports. Most tank supports prefer HP over resists because they get insane steroids like Unbreakable Will and Eclipse while the stats are borderline worthless on mage supports.

You're always better off sinking your gold into an Athene's, Ardent or the best support item in the game, Mikeal's as a mage or a Locket or FH as a tank support since these items are far higher impact. If you really want sidelane control you're probably better off going for a Banner in most cases.

There may be some games where you want an early Zz'rot, but it's a fairly situational item and really not super high priority.

Especially if your a support with shit all wave clear. A Morgana can hold her own but a Sona is gunna have some trouble.

What? With the song of her people I'm sure she can tear through minions. Especially if you decide to build like a carry XD

Unless you have ludens her waveclear is still bad and even with it its meh. It only hits 2 and i doubt it will kill them im one hit.

I agree. But the same could be said of anybody. But I hate when there is a minion wave crashing into bot inner turret, I go to farm that wave, and team gets engaged/engages 4v5.

Well an easy way to get the adc running over to the wave is to comment about their CS.

works every time.

You know, most supports would rejoice at having a full wave to themselves.

Oh in that scenario, oh yeah that sucks.

And then they get pissed off at you for not grouping. "It's not your job to clear waves."

Bitch, it's my job to win. If you aren't doing your job then I'll do it for you. There's absolutely no excuse for letting minions destroy a tower.

Depends on who the support is. But most of the time, yes.

Though Lulu post-nerf now has some trouble clearing waves-- no, Lulu without AP will always have some trouble trying to clear waves.

They seriously should have moved Taliyah's minion bonus damage from Q and given it to Lulu.

Why? They were trying to balance Lulu more as a support than a midlaner. Support Lulu still cares way less about this than mid Lulu.

How do I stop my team's support from split pushing? Not clearing waves that are near our towers, but honest to goodness trying to push waves past the river?

The Last BalladSep 9, 20161 votes

What kind of support(other than naughtlus/some other tanky support with item 3512 ) tries that?

DrCyanideSep 9, 20161 votes

Every support you can think of does it in Bronze/Silver. Morgana, Sona, Lux, Soraka, Leona, and Alistar come to mind right off. I don't think any of the ones I've seen has a Zzrot with them.

The Last BalladSep 19, 20161 votes

The only time I do that is when there is a gigantic wave about to crash into a tower, and all the people with wave clear are pushing mid. Even after I ping...
