These extended roaming supports tilt me to the ends of the earth

Title. I get so sick of this crap. Look, I know people roam. I know supports roam. But at some point, you have to come back to lane. This tilts me so much. I sit there and pick and watch and try to stay in xp range, for the wave to build up to 3-4 waves of cs, and it FINALLY reaches the turret to crash, and I can't even farm it unless I want dove by the alistair/whatever. So you lose first turret, 4+ waves of CS, and this freakin guy still aint back? Hes STILL ROAMING.

I mean I dont get this. Do they watch LCS and think they are LCS pros and they have all this figured out? You go from winning a lane, to losing not only the lane, not only the CS, but first turret at as well so this guy can just roam around.

Yes, I'm gonna get downvoted, flamed. But this tilts me to no end. You know, I get support sometimes. I like to make plays, too. But I know I need to get back to lane before the minions crash into the turret so my ADC can hopefully get some farm. Half the time, I don't even trust them to survive in a long lane and wait, so my roams last about as long as it takes for the ADC to get back to lane/base/whatever. Its not hard to roam top or mid with mobi's, try something, and get back to lane before 4 waves build up. But every now and then, I get these supports who literally leave lane before lvl 6, and just roam around for 5 minutes.

Maybe its the fact they dont play ADC, they dont know any better. But they get attitudes when you say something. "I went top and made a play." Meanwhile you lost 4 waves of creeps bot, you lost first turret bot, and they then go mid/top and the cascading turret destruction commences for 1 kill you got top lane.

Or even better when they ditch you in lane and wonder why you're dying even more, and that they're "always behind in EXP".

I wonder...

Depends on the ADC really, if they are a Tristana / Ezreal / Vayne they can peel for theselves if they get dove.

If it's a Varus or Kog then yeah the support shouldn't be missing for too long.

Unless of course it's global support Singed

What support aside from bard leaves lane? Especially in this meta where adcs need so much babysitting. I main support and I never see any supports leave lane unless there's teamfight in River or jungle fight nearby. A support that leaves their lane is basically just feeding their adc and or turret to the enemy.

I like to roam a lot, but generally when I roam, I put pressure on mid and occasionally on top and help take rift herald. I will occasionally be gone three or four waves, but I make sure to land three w before I leave my lane.

If they don't come back they aren't roaming, they are wandering and thereby assisting the other team. Just play and report their troll asses.
