OK lets face it, i lower ranks below plat or gold, playing support is not that fun, you have no major impact to the game i mean you have to depend on others to carry you most of the times and another problem is filling in queue is just like pchoosing support, please make the support role more fun and with more impact to the game, players would like to play support more if they feel like having a better impact to the game if theyr adc is not that strong or skilled.[sg-janna] [sg-soraka] [sg-lulu] [sona-playing] [zombie-brand-facepalm] brand has to play support and now i see this guy

or this guy..

The biggest issue is that there just isn't any reward for doing good as a support. Doing bad as support however brings 4 people with knifes at your throat. There needs to just be some basic things like maybe a life saver kill announcement so when you heal or shield someone who's below 10% max health and they get the kill, you appear next to them in the announcement and it goes "LIFE SAVER KILL". You know, something more than just 10-20g

Or "Nami PENTA-ASSIST"... XD

Maybe not penta assist but if nami had insane utility score boost in a team fight, you could get the announcer to go "NICE WORK!" with a picture of your champion.

that's why this guy is so popular in low elo Pyke if his adc is bad - he just has enough damage to kill them before they kill his ad or just simply murder them because he is more skilled

ProExpertKingAug 2, 20191 votes

So is brand, vel'koz, and veigar as supports. Also it doesn't change when you get to gold. Trust me.

I love being a support main.

i dont play with carry supports..... if the support chooses a carry then builds and plays like one i give them the carry slot and let them go 1 v 2. i have no issue with a brand or lux support that builds support items like item 3174 item 3504 item 3107 . not im a support viegar and they go item 3311 item 3285 item 3089 then take kills and say "im sorry i wont do it again" just to do it again. so yeah i want supports to go back to being supports and seudo supports that pick carries with no intent to be a support to go away.

As a support main I gain satisfaction from knowing my Janna tornado or my Soraka ultimate won a 5v5 teamfight and won us some good buffs like Baron or a dragon. But alas, supporting isn't everyone's cup of tea.

ProExpertKingAug 3, 20191 votes

Yeah but the issue is that it's a thankless job, and if you have a bad game or get countered or something, that invites everyone to be at your throat with knifes. It makes supporting hell and can even get you attacked when you're doing well. The one time I was able to comeback at someone was as playing soraka, I had revitalize and a score of 0/8/23 because zed and kha'zix like to jump on me and could normally kill me before being killed by my teammates. Jungle started talking shit about me dying and acted like I wasn't playing safe and that I was just giving free kills and trying to ruin the game, even though zed w+flash+ult me to skip through everyone on my team so I told him my revitalize has done 14k extra healing in 30 minutes so he really needs to shut the hell up. That was my one proof that I was just being a MONSTER healer that game and that I had done probably way more than he's done to anything.

We just would like something to have that we can point to when teammates try to trash talk us and being a dumbass saying that 0/3 kda as sona 20 minutes in is feeding. Like sure, if you ignore my 17 assists and 47 ward score, I guess I am feeding. So maybe if you stop talking then I'll start getting all the kills.

you guys that are thankless supports are unimpactful.

CatnipTerminatorAug 2, 20191 votes

I mean, what do you expect by a supporting (!) role? Your impact shows by enabling your team (in most cases at least) and helping (!) them. If that is not your thing, why bother playing as Support (who supports his team)? (And no, I'm not counting this apc "support" bs)

Getting a autofill-support isn't a problem with the role itself, the problem is the autofill system.

And tbh: I don't want even more carries in my regular matches, knowing that there are still champions who cant kill me in like 10 seconds is a blessing.

Peace.

ProExpertKingAug 3, 20192 votes

The thing is your impact DOESN'T show when you help people. The only stat that tells you just how much you did is only after the game. You can't see just how much damage I've prevented for the caitlyn during the game as lulu until the game is over. All you see is how much damage Caitlyn does becuase it flashes up the huge number and how many kills she has. Assists mean nothing because it could be I shielded Cait at just the last second to get an assist, or I had to use everything to just barely let Cait live and give her the kill with a long fight that had been a real struggle but we pulled out on top. It becomes a number with very little meaning which is lame.

So we have a role that is so unappealing to the masses that the introduction of a system was needed to force players into that role and for some reason, it´s the system´s fault that people are stuck with players who don´t want to play their designated role?

And your last sentence just highlights op´s issue more. He describes the sad state that supports need to deal significant dmg to have the most agency while you explain how you prefer passive supports in your games because it means 1 less player to worry about.

What I see support mains do wrong in Bronze and Silver is that they rely too heavily on their ADC. That's great when they're doing great, but if they're not, you have to roam and create a carry for your team or find the one that is winning.

You should always be striving for 50% kill participation. It won't happen every match, but you don't want to fall below that mark in an average of your games. That signals you could be doing more.

I picked up on this when I used to look at the stats from my friend's matches when he was in Bronze. He'd be a Katarina with 15 kills and full build before anyone else, but he'd still lose. Then I'd look at bot lane stats and the support would be like 1/4/3, probably because they stayed hovering around their 1/5/1 ADC instead of helping that Katarina clean up.
