I've begun to loathe new Taric because of what others expect of him.

I want to try out new Taric. Actually try him out. The problem is every time I do, I encounter the same dumbass of an ADC.

The guy who tries to tank literally every hit and divebomb every enemy champion that comes into range.

The idiot who tower dives at level 1, expecting me and my rapid heals and ults to save him.

The dumbass who blames me for all of his deaths because he thinks Taric is some instant win button all of a sudden and treats it that way.

This is in the same vein as the support maltreatment. It's expecting the support to carry you and protect you from your own idiocy, even as you feed the enemy 8 times before level 4 because of some idiotic delusion that because Taric is right there, you could 1v5 the entire enemy team no matter the level or gold gap because he can make you invincible. I end up burning more mana trying to save suicidal allies with a death wish, and I can expect endless screaming, profanity, an active AFK and a four-man report if I don't.

The community is trying desperately to systematically destroy whatever remains of the support role. It's impossible enough trying to support spoiled little shits who expect level 1 pentakills forever, who give up almost immediately once someone, ANYONE, gets even the absolutely minuscule tiniest implication of a lead. And I'm expected to continue their delusional power fantasy, and not have reality come crashing down on support them, as in spoon feed them kills by the dozen, all on a microscopic budget, and god help me if I get even so much as an assist. My job is already exhausting enough. I don't need entitled ADCs ruining my experience with new champions just to stave off their soul crushing depression for another five seconds.
