Remove the support role

SugarRayMoe·11/30/2016, 11:57:04 PM·8 votes·1,750 views

Ok, lets be honest. NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY THAT FKNG ROLE! NOBODY!

"Oh, i'm support main" yes, you are a big part of the community, like 75. 75 people I mean, not 75%, of course. Sure that there will be some pain-lover that will enjoy support but support is actually the biggest SH+T in this game.

if I play support I cannot carry sh+t. I have to literally look at a shako solo destroying my inhib and I cant do NOTHING. I unloaded everything and I took like 10% of his life in the time he destroyed my inhib completely and ignoring me and my attacks. Why would he bother? he knows I'm useless. And on top of that, I had to flee, ofc, or I'd had died too. You cannot do ANYTHING with a non-kill'em-all support (basically a support that is NOT a support, a mage with sightstone, lol). So the best support is not a support. Cool!
if I dont play support I get trolls as supports, because NOBODY wants to play that fckng role, resulting in fed enemies most of the time and unwinable games. So I'm equally screwed. You could say, "the other team has the same chance of a troll in this role" wow! ok then! it's everything fine! lets roll a dice! We could change the name of the game to "Who Gets the Troll?", lots of fun.

Summing up, the simple existance of this role is just toxic and screws people up. It doesnt matter if you play it or not, the existance of supports is screwing you.

Remove that sh´tty role, and leave us alone. It's useless, nobody wants to play that sh+t.

And for you, that will come here to say that supports can carry, that they are funny and that you love the game with this role, why the F you dont play them? oh! yeah! "dont delete them, but I'll never play that sh+t in my life, I'd rather wait 5 hours queue". I understand.

Just remove this fkng sh+t for once and for all.

this isn't even an argument. clearly you've never played as a support to even understand half the things they can and will do to a game. yes it's true that not every support "main" is good but neither are the first time top laners, mid laners, or Annie junglers. if you're upset cause you've not had a "good support" on your team in a few games, let's just take away ALL the roles and make the game about farming vegetables instead of fighting.

If you can't carry with support, chances are that you are playing the role wrong. Support can be one of the hardest roles to play in the game. With support, you need to know lane match-ups, understand map control, and how to control your adc in lane. On top of that, most supports are shot callers, at least in the pro scene, and that requires immense game knowledge. Just pure mechanical skill does not make a good support. There is a lot that goes into it, mentally and physically.

If you are really having this bad of a time with support, or don't understand what they really do, I'd suggest reading some guides or something. Anything other than flaming and begging to remove an essential part of the game.

then remove the adc role as adcs cant do anything with out their support or somebody peeling for them so in truth the answer is no

The job of the support isn't to directly deal damage, you shouldn't expect that of a janna or something. You can ABSOLUTELY carry as support, you probably just lack the understanding required. Not trying to insult you as a player, it's just a very strange role to get used to. Jungle is obviously a different role from any of the lanes, and you expect different things from a jungler. Support is the same, even though you look like a normal laner, your job is very different. I not only enjoy support, but I carry from it as well. Go get a free coach from any coaching website and have them explain to you and maybe demonstrate how and why supports are important, and how to carry from the role should you get autofilled into it. It can only improve you as a player.

Support is a hidden power. You may not have ever SEEN a support carry you, but its definitely happened before. You can't tell if you look at the kills, but if you go back and look at every ward they place, every heal they grant, every enemy they cc, they clearly won the game.

sounds like your playing the wrong support.
start playing AP mage supports like Annie, Brand, etc...
they can do damage, they can still one shot squishy late game,
they can push out lanes if you need them too.
and you can carry with them.

i play support nearly every game and most of the time im pretty damn good at it.. so you are wrong

Whenever I play support, I'm usually not looking to carry. Let someone else do it. In fact, there's been a lot of games where I left the lane early since I wasn't really needed to add pressure to other lanes. Especially if I have a Draven.

Draven DOUBLE KILL Lux Okay, you're all set. If you need me, ping a lot.

More people would be interested in playing support if the role could carry harder and had more access to gold. But if they overtune supports' income, the botlane would just become a snowball fest. So yeah it's kind of a dilemma.

Actualy i'd love to see a ''roamer'' starter item, so roaming supports would be rewarded for helping other lanes too. Kinda like a pseudo-jungler, while your adc soaks in extra exp and lvls.

As a Taric main I loled at the statement about Shaco taking an inhib. A normal Taric support build will crush any assassin as long as he isn't way behind. There have been times where I screw up my ult in bottom lane and my adc dies right away leaving me to 2v1 and I get a double kill fairly easily.

Janna's such a cockblock/steroid support, any complimenting adc who can't at least avoid feeding with an adequately played Janna couldn't be helped anyway. A non-feeding adc can usually be spoonfed kills and end up carrying. Carry Janna by proxy.

Also..... aaaaaalways remember every active on any items you buy. Those make sooooo much difference at any rank when timed well!

I'm one of those people who plays support in virtually any game I play, so I like that the role is available. The trick is knowing how to carry by proxy.

How do you even "remove" the role?
