Support maining: I am deathly tired
I am tired of being a support main.
I am tired of being second banana to snivelling little shits who bitch and whine that the support didn't pick the champion they wanted, or didn't get them first blood, or didn't build exactly the way lolking or whatever other stat whore website out there said they most frequently build.
I am tired of being the fall guy for every fault the team has.
I am tired of being the only person actually pushing lanes or aiming for objectives in any way, shape or form.
I am tired of being the only utility, durability, crowd control, range, and magic damage on the team.
I am tired of being the only functional pair of eyes.
I am tired of watching the team let the enemy claim every objective on the map and then some while they are busy teamfighting a jungle camp... which the enemy stole.
I am tired of being the only person who can see the enemy's strengths and weaknesses as well as our own, and watch the team play right into their trap.
I am tired of seeing every LCS wannabe wearing the names of LCS champions, claim they're the best (champion name) ever, get clobbered in two minutes, and then active AFK in the fountain while berating me.
I am tired of getting screamed at for not rushing sightstone because my team has absolute zero memory, can only comprehend whatever is right in front of them and will facecheck a bush even if they just saw an extremely fed Annie run into it.
I am tired of the endless waves of four-man reports. Reporting in volume may not work, but eventually one of them might stick.
I am tired of seeing my team composed entirely of all AD melee, single target all or nothing champions, who go on to not deal any damage or score any kills at all.
I am tired of seeing teams refuse to adapt or change in response to the enemy's composition or emerging threats.
I am... simply... TIRED OF IT ALL. I have seen these scenarios play out more times than you could possibly imagine, and I see people fall right into the clearly established traps each and every time, and it's driving me insane. At this point, the minions have more sentience than most of the community. Yet I can't just abandon the support role. No one else knows how to do it, and every time I go non-support, one person or another considers going assassin support, further overspecializing us to the point of and exceeding self-parody. The only way to escape this cycle is to simply stop playing the game wholesale, and as much as I don't want to, every time this happens, I'm pushed more towards that conclusion.
And it happens literally every game now.
