A message to supports from your ADC

Mob Piru·5/1/2018, 2:51:44 PM·26 votes·6,357 views

We would really appreciate it if you stepped up more in lane and took charge of when u want me to go in and not.

We would also appreciate if you warded the river if we are using are wards on the side brushes.

We would appreciate if you understood matchups in bot lanes and had an idea of when you should be aggressive and passive.

We would mostly appreciate if you worked on your skill shots. nothing hurts more then a missed hook or bind or cc or ult whatever.

Suppports...us a the ADC we are very weak in the early game and can easily be killed by most supports these days.

Help us win lane and we will give you the LP you deserve. aka we will win the game if we win lane.

Early game you supports carry us until we get enough gold to hold our own weight and then the teams weight.

I know some adc are very hard to work with but try to understand that we usually get alot of bad supports with the auto fill feature and we may be frustrated.

i mean how would you feel if ur completely gold and team reliant and ur being 3 man 4 man dived bot all the time lol

Communication is the key to bot lane. Work with us and we work with you. Trust me we need u as badly as u may or may not need us lmao but we need u dearly

A message to ADCs from your support.

I’d really appreciate if you helped zoning someone off a wave and poking when needed.

I’d really appreciate if you bought a pink ward, and help me clear wards when I ping “On my way” to a ward instead of potentially dying 2v1 for a ward.

I’d appreciate if you knew how to play your designated champion into said matchup, no need to go melee form on Caitlyn or dash forward as an Ezreal into Braum then typing “xd” because you died.

We would appreciate if you used heal to save us, nothing more tilting than seeing myself die when my ADC had heal.

ADC... we are very strong in the early game but this is a two man effort in lane to be proactive.

Help us win lane and we will give you the LP you deserve. aka we will win the game if we win lane.

We carry you early game so stop pinging me with “???” If I accidentally take one kill or one CS, it’s not the end of the world but if it makes you feel better I’ll hold your hand.

I know some supports are very hard to work with but try to understand that we usually get alot of bad ADCs that are boosted and we may be frustrated.

This is why I lose most of my games when paired with tanks or healers. They want to do something on their own but they can't. While Brand just deletes them from a safe distance.

And the one thing I want from my adcs is to know how to fucking freeze a wave, but since that's not happening, you guys can pipe down and appreciate what you get.

Are you actually acting like supports are running around doing nothing? As a support main I constantly have been engaged by negative and egotistical attitudes from multiple adc's that I support. IDK why you're trying to turn this around on us.

A message towards the bot lane duo, as a universal player:

Try to play to each others' drum. Ask each other if you are an aggressive or a passive player, so that, as either ADC or Support, I know how I'll play the lane.

The melee support, PLEASE, you kill the cannon minion.

If I'm poking as a support, and the enemies are low, try to make the effort to zone them off.

Don't sit back as Soraka or Janna and expect your ADC to 1v2 the lane.

Don't sit back as any ADC and expect Janna to 1v2 the lane either.

The fact that in both situations, they can do it, doesn't mean they should. You need to help each other.

The ADC is generally busy csing and trading smartly with the enemy, the support needs to pay more attention to the map in general.

Create opportunities for your ADC to find farm and find them the best ways to stay safe while doing it.

Be together. You support me, I support you.

Late game, play around the ADC. It's the main win condition.

Stop being monkeys trying to make a risky flashy play. Take the safe route, take the safe play. You will scale up.

Lmao holy shit I agree with the first couple lines wholeheartedly.

Like there are too many support players that play passively. Like they don't know how to get on the aggressive when they're the ones with the greatest harass tools and damage mitigation in the game. But all they want to do is sit in the back and hope to get carried because they wither got auto filled, or are sitting around for gold to pop up from their ancient coin passive.

He doesn´t realize it´s just enchanter and mage and autofilled supports who are worthless and suck.

You make some good points and I'd also like to mention though that Dear ADC's. If you're going to go solo Q bot. Make sure you understand that you might face off against a duo who has voice communication.

Please dont play when youre tilted....if youre frustrated enough from past games for it to affect your current game you ARE TILTED - #yourfault

Let me please be frank with you,

I want to win, but I want my tool in winning to be our jungler and mid lane, and maybe top. All my most fun games, were working with jungler or with top. And tag teaming with jungler or top to victory. Games where I "win lane" with the ADC and the ADC wins the game for us? not as fun for me.

Honestly, if I get to choose? The dynamics of you getting your farm, then pulling your weight and carrying, with the team around you? Not as good as the rush of playmaking, making picks and ambushes and rotations and rolling the map with the jungler and the top.

no offense, but that's what's fun for me. That's what I would like to see in a game.

I mean, what kind of play are you offering me for your won lane? You don't want to make plays, you want to play carefuly and have a bodyguard. You don't want to ambush or make picks, you want to ARAM and have everybody protect you as you snipe turrets.... And you want me by your side to play guard or left tackle, where I would more want to play halfback or tight end.

We would really appreciate it if you stepped up more in lane and took charge of when u want me to go in and not.

Please note that if I ping target and start unloading my full CC combo, and you hang back or run, I'm probably going to play passive from then on if if you don't follow up.

If you don't follow up, I die. If you're relying on me to initiate, that's fine, but if I can't trust you to go, I have to start playing more passively to avoid feeding kills. Note: Jhin W is not considered followup if you're not in AA range.

We would also really appreciate it if you would help ward critical locations early game. I only have a trinket just like you until my second-ish item, and if I have mine placed in the upper bush, I literally can't put one in the river bush or tribush.

I came here expecting genric requests, I instead see actual tips.

Only if Boards are more like that on a regular basis instead of pointing fingers every day [sg-ahri-2]
