Why are support players so passive/aggressive?

Like seriously, the other day i had a soraka literally not playing the game because she was too busy typing on the chat because i didnt all in with her at lvl 7 when we had no vision of their jungler and their jungler (while he just did red so he was near bot side) was already 6-0 while ours was basically not in the game...

Then he kept on going on how the other bot lane was trash and that i was trash too and didnt stop typing until the end of the game, holy shit if those players dont get carried they just throw a hissy fit.

Mind you this is not even silver or low elo, this was a ranked diamond game, and the soraka was a d2 support main (who was also calling me trash for me being d5 apparently it had no clue about mmr existing) and complaining about matchmaking and etc.

Because ADC's are active aggressive, and in an abusive relationship like a LoL botlane, that means support is going to be the passive aggressive one.

On average.

I've seen it go both ways. And I've seen the bot lanes that sound like they're going to tie the knot by the end of the game.

Because it wasant really going that hard before the incident (it did even say "gl hf" at the start of the game, lmao), it did spam pings at lvl 2 though to all in because "their bot lane doesnt know how to play", this was vs a jinx janna, yeah let me tower dive a jinx janna with both summoners up and full health as a vayne soraka lane because "they dont know how to play"...

It's because those type of support players suck at solo lanes, so they play support and flame their ADC because they have an inferiority complex.

I don't get why people are acting like it's the ADC's faults for flaming the support player before, it's just people needing to grow up but when given the anonymous persona of the internet can act as aggressive towards others with little to no consequenses.

Honestly the way you use if they don't get carried they have a hissy fit is pretty easy to say when you are being supported too but you need to remember that these people who are supporting you usually win just as much as you but have less power.

So think of it like this, you invest 1000 dollars into a share and give advice and guidance that could lead to major growth of the company but they don't listen or aren't on the same page as you and have different goals so you lose money on the investment, that would be frusterating but instead of acting unprofessional you antagonise the first company while staying in alright relations with the others.

That may have been complex but as a business student that is the only way i can describe it in detail
