I failed, I'm awful at the game, supports cant carry the game. Support shouldn't even be part of the game. Watch as dedicated supports leave the game all together, and all your que times are over an hour long. I'd like to see that. Did I use to be good? idk.
People have this mentality that there should be individuals who carry every game, and the team doesn't matter. If you can't carry, you're useless. That's the mindset. In truth, individual players carrying the game should be occasional and accidental.
You're right, it's going to drive more and more supports away. As it is, it's hard to get a game if you queue as anything but support or fill because supports are in short supply.
People who think like that should probably go play fighting games or something. It's fine to feel like that in 1v1 games. But MOBAs require teamwork for a team to succeed, so until they put aside their individualist mindset, those people will continue ruining games for their teams.
Overall supports need more love. And Riot's near-constant throttling of the role suggests some deeper, subconscious reservation than they're willing to communicate. We're still not getting the love we deserve while they slowly remove some of the more fun elements.
For starters, make SightStone the Supports Machete. If you're the support role, just give it to them at the start of the game. Build in some MS to it and give us a fighting chance to be the roaming vision-machines we're supposed to be, but you won't enforce since "we don't want to enforce the meta"
Your lack of enforcement is the grave my people will sleep in, Riot. DO SOMETHING.
I can win 3-4 games strait in ranked as a Support. But I can have some really bad teams too that don't listen to anything.
Sometime, I feel that when I am warding in the jungle and my team sees an enemy there, they are rushing to them and ... Getting kill by all of them. Like why ? I don't really understand this mentality tough. XD Wards is to warn us about enemy no to rush to it. No ?
Thank you for the tips for warding Mig89 ^^
I'm going to assume that is sarcasm, but in case it isn't....
deep breath
Supports carry the game in their own special way. They require more split second decision-making, multi-tasking, and shotcalling/leadership skills than any other role for you to be able to climb. Supports carry via information. We are essentially like a +30 IQ buff toward the rest of the team.
Don't believe me? Well, I did manage to solo as a support main all the way to plat so far this season. It isn't impossible if you try hard enough.
