why does my ADC ban my support pick...

lyghtstrike··1 votes·1,516 views

this is happening to me almost every day I get to play now. My ADC bans the support pick I'm displaying as the champ I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY... generally this has happened when I have first/second pick. In the past I have counter banned my teammate I feel there needs to be a flagging option in champ select that prevents you from re-queing with said individual, or someway to hold people accountable for their actions during champion select.

why does my ADC ban my support pick...

Most people are assholes.....They're meta sheep that think that Master Yi support can't work.

If detecting sarcasm had a ladder you'd be Bronze 5 :D

In fairness, there are people on these boards who would argue for pretty much anything in the support role, it wouldn't have been out of the ordinary for you to have been serious there.

What are they banning? Typically if the ADC bans your Support pick I would assume it's at least one of three things;

  1. You don't have pick priority and they are banning it so they enemy can't get it first.
  2. They hate laning with that champion.
  3. They are a dick.

If you use a champion that has a high pick/ban rate (like Soraka sometimes has) you can ask your first pick to grab it and trade it to you. However, you need to have a very large champion pool so you can trade what they want back.

Ok sure but why2 votes

3 is the only reason these days

If the support counters their ADC pick well enough and isn't good paired with the ADC is another good reason.

I have literally never had my adc (or anyone on my team) ban my supports when I preview who I plan to play. But pretty much the only champions I play for support are Nami and Janna. Both of which are almost never banned and you rarely ever have an adc that doesn't want a Nami. I do receive a request to pick another champion every so often with Janna due to her playstyle.

That's not really surprising though.

I never preview what I'm going to play for this reason. Most ADC's start complaining because they want to play some obnoxious carry like Vayne and expect you to die for them.

Thats why I never hover my champion. If it gets banned, so be it, I have others I can play.

What champion are you picking as your support? If a lot of people are doing it there's a chance what you're picking is actually the issue.

I thought people hated laning with Lulu supports because she doesn't do heals, braindead peels, or spoonfeeding picks.

Turns out 95% of non-premade ADCs are okay with working with one. I was expecting them to bitch and whine about how I should have picked a "real support" and not some "overnerfed garbage that ended up going mid and top", but they have been mostly chill. No, not just my ADCs, my teammates were perfectly okay despite I expected trolls since they auto-ban champs because someone had a related IGN.

Now to the case... is it the player or the environment?
