If I'm autofilled support, I can play whatever I want

ryona··8 votes·2,675 views

I don't support, don't blame me when I'm autofilled into this stupid role and play anything I want.

I.E, if I want to play support Vayne without Sightstone, I can do it because I didn't ask for the role. If you don't like it? TOO BAD.

If you want to be banned for actively working against your team, then that's your perogative.

Though @Riot... PLEASE remove autofill for Plat and below. It just breeds toxicity like this. I'm sure the whole community would agree that we'd gladly take longer queue times if it meant we got better games where people actually freaking knew how to play their role.

You're not making support more attractive like you promised when you were considering changes to the support role. You're just shoehorning people into a role they don't want that. A role that has repeatedly had their usefulness slapped in the face.

Sincerely, a freaking SUPPORT main.

I'd take being filled as support over 3+ minute longer queues

I think a better fix would be to remove auto and give a tertiary role. Only because I despise being given ADC, and I support way too often as it is.

Welp, if you want to get banned so much, feel free to do so :)

Spoiled children should play minecraft where they can manipulate the world to be just how they want it. Why play a team game if you are uncapable of teamwork or unwilling to do whats best for the team on rare occasions. It is not like you are the only one who ever gets autofilled.

But you can still pick up Soraka or something. She's what, 450ip now?

I also don't understand this mentality- I'm working on owning every champion in case I need to trade to prevent counterpicks. Why WOULDNT you make an effort to own at least a handful of popular champions, even if you don't enjoy their playstyle?

To the dear OP: I hope one day you can grow up and stop acting like a child.

I do agree with this too. I saved up all my IP and got every champion for trades and so I can personally learn the champions so I knew somewhat how they worked.

I'll back that up too. I like owning a large variety of champions. New buff or nerf or quality of life change on an ability? Don't have to wait for free week, I own them! I'll just take the champion for a spin in a custom and see firsthand what changed.

Not to mention you're pretty much garunteed to get trades in ARAM with a large champ pool.

you do play support whether you want to play it or not.

how you play it, is your choice though. you wanna play vayne sup grab all the farm and go ham at level 2? your choice.

But deliberately breaking the meta in an obviously unviable way (without prior acceptance from your team) is just feeding. If you take Vayne, and you play her right, she can end up being a low-teir support, but maybe situationally viable. A good pick against some, with her knockback. You can go full AP Sona, or even Lux, too. But you have to follow the core idea of a support - enabling the team to win.

Aptest1 votes

enabling the team to win is the core idea of every character and every role. if you don't play according to this idea, regardless of your role, than you play to lose.

that being said, you don't know what's viable and what's not viable. some play styles are easily identified as griefing, but for the most part you can't say that the other guy is not trying to win in his own way.

so the only solution is that each person plays his own game. You don't get to determine the other player's play choices for him. there is no need for acceptance from the team, prior or otherwise.

DuskDaUmbreon1 votes

You do need to communicate for some things. Want to have a duo jg? You need, at the very least, cooperation from the ADC and jg.

And there's different ways of enabling for each roll. Top ends up being a brute force, while being a reliable person to make sure the enemies aren't waiting in the bush support wants to ward. Mid brings the burst. ADC is the DPS king. Jg is a catch-all to pick up what the team's missing most, and to help failing lanes. Support makes sure that the team doesn't die. If anyone breaks that balance, someone has to rebalance it, or the team will always die. Playing a champion that's not good at that role is detracting, but not automatically bad. As I said, Vayne support, if done right, theoretically works. Refusing to fill that role is sabotage.

Just don't get things mixed up. You need to communicate sufficiently. That does not mean you must receive agreement. That means that I have to suck it up a bit if my team's bot goes MF which i hate. And the team have to suck it up if I go Bard, which i like. and the team needs to suck it up if i start roaming in the mid game and get the jungler a bunch of kills.

you're right about the team having to be balanced in terms of the qualities that exist in it i.e. forcefull front line, pick skills, kite skills, damage output, aoe etc.

but the idea that each role brings exactly a specific set of qualities isn't very good as a gameplay concept. for instance lets say top lane likes to play assassins (well, everybody does). mid should not be able to say "actually it's mid's role to play the assassin and jgl can do it too and since we both want to play those you should stick to poppy and maokai".

EDIT: from the perspective of the dedicated mid player it makes sense to make things "stiff" like that he gets to have "the meta" make the other guy play the front line all the time while he sticks to his favorite glass cannons. but the guy playing top lane has an interest in the mid laner having to also adjust pick.

No, it's not. Considering you know that you CAN get autofilled into support, you at least should own a supportive champion or two, in case of this happening. If you don't, well, you're doing yourself harm by losing games.

This is no different than not being able to play another role, but you still try. What's wrong...upset cause you can't kill things. Go play CoD or something.

Being autofilled to support is a burden we all must share to reduce queue times. You should pick up a support you enjoy playing. You could even do miss fortune support if its into zyra or malzahar. Alistar is very cheap and can be easy to learn.

Damage champs like brand, lux, velqoz, zyra are also viable if you want to carry from the support role. I do urge you to get a sightstone though. You need to put the team's needs above yourself.

No I am not getting a shitty item that does nothing for me like Sightstone. Team's needs does not imply "carry." I can't have a useless item taking up a slot I can have BT or something in.

Sightstone is the best item in the game. Free wards, plus HP, and builds into gold income items. What's not to love about something that amazing?

Or item CD, the only item that does so.

False. I love to support, as long as it's not too often or with braindead teams.

I respect your will, and acknowledge that you don't want to play that particular role, which is perfectly fine. What is not fine is that you don't intend to play that role, yet you queue for something that will potentially get you to play that role.

If you don't want to play support and you are autofilled as it just dodge.

some minutes of waiting are better than a trollish game.
