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

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.

you guys that are thankless supports are unimpactful.

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.

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.

Jungling and supp go hand and hand

Dorans Pants8/3/2019, 3:26:17 AM1 votes

the problem is when your game only encourages and rewards dealing lots of dmg it´s no surprise that no one will want to play in a support role.

how can you design rewarding supportive playstyles under that framework?

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

Then you're playing Support wrong.

Support is a highly impactful role right now.
