Supports "Getting Carried"?

iBubster··2 votes·774 views

Hey guys! I am a Silver 5 support main and my friend always says I should be in Bronze 5. He says that "You get carried every game man, you don't need to do anything as support." I don't think this is true, but I can't find any reason why he is wrong? Do support get carried every game? Do supports all deserve Bronze 5? Please comment anything down below. Thanks :D.

Just tell them "damage isn't everything." Sure, it's the flashy plays and crap, but non-damage things, such as utility go highly underappreciated.

Support have the least overall impact, they are "team reliant" much like the ADC and jungler. Meaning, you need a good team if you want to win.

Most of the time a support player "getting carried" is just them doing their job for the team, which is warding and protecting teammates. Sure they might be not doing much damage, but they are still contributing to the team. Same with tanks and splitpushers. A splitpusher might have a low kda and low damage to champions, but they put lots of pressure on the map. This is an objective based game, not call of duty.

when auto fill happens and people who dont main support get in the support role, they can generally be bullied and baited easier than a true support main.

makes laning phase easier.

i also main support. this season ending in gold because i am taking a year off of ranked. but i will be back to my natural elo when the following year comes.

Whoever told you size doesn't matter lied to you. The size of your damage bar that is.

Supports aren't carried. I main supp and there have been many games I've turned the tide of a teamfight. Rakan for example dashing in, knocking up enemy team followed by a charm, couple shields, heal and exhaust can turn an enemy teams "would be" ACE into your team winning. The problem is none of that shows up on the scores outside of being assists.

Supports:

  1. ward. easy to avoid ganks if you can see the enemy comming 2)assist kills (stuns, shields, heals, debuffs, etc)
  2. call out map pings and follow MIAs or enemy jungler positions These all can turn the tide of games big time

The other big issue is auto-fill non-support mains doing their job poorly because they don't want to be supp.

The support's job is to make their team able to carry them. The ADC can't carry without the support supporting them.
