Playing support every single game makes you want to kill yourself, especially in lower elo.

"what the hell did i just read?" happens when you have ADHD, sorry i'm trying my best to make it soft to read, editing and re editing , so that it doesn't feel painful to read. feel free to help.

see all the protest were unbelievable you know it's amazing, i mention sightstone and that guy who's seriously arrogant went crazy, (take a moment to look at his match history: 0 game has support) it's amazing,unbelievable.

he went crazy amazing, it's amazing. that's an amazing "sight" see all the protest were unbelievable. I was "stone".

**look at this thousands of people are pouring in , and we have to get rid of one person because he's wasting our time. **

i think he came back, with his smurf and the proper region, look at this, i think he came back.

he has the "flame" please give this man a round of applause.

"i had a lot of people and one guy who was seriously arrogant he complained when i mentioned that support item, we have a lot of support item, talisman of ascension,Face of the Mountain and frost queen's claim ,eye of equinox ,eye of oasis , eye of the watchers.he complained when i mention these support item and the guy went crazy, and they said that wasn't politically correct."

jokes aside.

==========================================================================

everyone has 2 wards, 2x5= 10 wards.

when i buy sightstone i don't ward much i'm usually busy fighting, protecting turret and saving allies. i place as much wards when i have sightstone then when i do not.

but i know a lot of people will ignore everything that i said after "i don't ward much" and instant reply believing they have enough elements to put up an accusation. read the whole sentence!!!

honestly if this item is so important why not remove talisman of ascension,Face of the Mountain and frost queen's claim.

btw did i forgot to mention we are limited to 3 wards anyways?

if i leave lane to ward my ADC trash talk, i can't even leave for 5 seconds.

lots of you didn't pay attention to what i said right there, ignoring these affirmation, the classy way, oh i love it.

i'm more focused on my ADC then i do on the map, and most of the time i try to not put myself in a bad position and warding got me killed a lot of time.

this one too! ;)

and the most annoying thing are toxic people who says "REPORT SUPPORT NO SIGHTSTONE" "listen buddy you're not in my lane you're top and i'm bot lane" "you're mid and i'm bottom" "we're doing fine while both of you are feeding"

clearly you're not and neither in the game.

"buddy my lane is always warded the mid is feeding and his lane is ganking up on us if i were to leave my adc would die and i would get killed for warding father than my lane permits me due to other lanes roaming and ganking up on us"

it makes you want to drink bleach honestly. a lot of it probably 3 gallons,not less. getting gank up by your whole team makes me extremely mad , it's incredible how people can be so toxic, i can't believe my eyes man. and riot say there's no toxicity , there's always at least 1 guy in every single game that is toxic on either my team or the enemy team, and when you mute them , they trash talk about you in all chat, just to make sure you get his toxicity.

if i bought a sighstone we'd still lose and because instead of focusing on the game , you're feeding and being toxic YOU DON'T EVEN WARD YOUR OWN LANE TO BEGIN WITH!!!

"did i forgot to mention 99% of the fight are done in lane face to face? where is the point of wards in that? you tell me sherlock ;)

just leave me alone and focus on your gameplay. it's already hard to play a game when your team is feeding and their lane sitting in yours, i don't need to get ganked up by your own team , doesn't make you want to play league anymore it's annoying it's childish,stressful and a pain in the ass.

"that sums up"

**if you guys want to fill the support do it, you don't see me complain much on the other lanes feeding. so why are you being a dick toward me? **

seriously why?

in the last news i'm beating you , you know you shouldn't misrepresent how well "sightstone" is doing with the votes. you don't have to say that. in fact i was all for you until you started doing that because that's a misrepresentation. number 1.

number 2. this isn't me saying i don't care. and my supporter , said that there's a serious question has to has weither or not can or can't do this , ok. there's other fellow support that feel very very fine.

because he wasn't born a support he cannot reform.

even if I bought a sightstone it won't change the fact that the enemy team is 20-0 due to mid top and jungler feeding, not to forget to mention that our jungler never ganked bot while we getting our ass dived by 5 people and my adc won't leave turret to die.

here you probably believe i didn't ward when that happened, but i did they just walked on us with mid,top,jungler levels and kills superiority, thanks to them feeders.

oh yes did i forgot to mention that the toxic people are premades?

did i forgot to mention i love to build damage items , as many of you may not know , support has scaling, yes , it's amazing isn't it? filling the role of APC , a spare wheel when your mid lane is doing poorly,scuse me i meant to say isn't doing properly. you know, those game where you're fed and obliterating people with your APC support.

** funny fact, i die to mid ganks,** mid lane: not sorry no ping, just ward me: i warded mid:you overextended that's why me: ok?

mid lane die: noob jungler please gank , mid fed mid: support no sightstone report! me: i ward tri bush and side bush mid: noob support me: ok

me: i'm busy pinging back my adc who won't disengage while the enemy mid , jungler coming adc die. me to myself: facepalm, why do I even ward for? adc: sorry me: it's alright maybe one day our jungler will gank jungler gank top top die jungler die me to myself: ........

I can continue like this for days....

now that i think about it I remember why i stopped playing for a year.

oh wait! Maybe i was wrong all this time!

low elo support main here to confirm that i have severe and crippling depression

LF Annie1 votes

after a month of stopping playing league, i am 50% less depressed as i was playing support in ranked in b1. i'm still depressed, but only not nearly as such, but i figure with another month or two i might even be... happy.

I know the feeling. The worst part is when you win a team fight and everyone backs when your the only one trying to get objectives and no one will listen to you because your the person everyone thinks your a bitch because you play support.

Aldapsayar1 votes

There's something worse. When they clear fucking wave after midgame ace. You ping them to take turret. You write in chat "I will tank". You go under turret. Meaningless. They clear goddamn minions even with open inhib. They do it even with open nexus. They do it even if you can end it now. And worst part is watching Vayne, Yasuo or Yi already respawned when your team carefully prepared your minions to come by turret or inhib just to be deleted by one auto.

You would be surprised to learn how hard it is to climb with support only. You either get lucky or it takes an awful lot of games.

By the title of your thread, I thought I wasn't going to like your post, but actually I'm like halfway through and I agree with everything so far. People on average simply don't understand what playing support is like. And it's not even anyone's fault but the bottom lane players' IMHO.

Premades, or as I have called them in the past by my experience with Dota 2 and HotS, parties...are the biggest source of toxicity in this game, exclamation point! They're always doing the weirdest stuff ever, they're either 'lol it's just a game man' or 'kys you pleb' and there's a certain feeling of being trapped as a player in a game where the contest is to see which premade is better than the other.

it's much easier said than done. people who are to the extent they would consider killing themselves over a game have invested so much of their self worth into that game that quitting the game isn't even an option without some outside intervention.

I agree , in a phew days i won't be playing league anyways, i'll be too busy for that, you should get yourself a hobby that's how i managed to stop playing league for about a year.

More or less I agree; warding is nice, but it ain't going to help against extremely mobile or powerful enemies, as they'll just tower dive you anyway.

Actually it's not hard.Aside Blitz which is my first support i play Tahm a lot.If my adc refuses to save me out of bad intention i can always get my revenge. ^^

Moreover i main top and so i only fill as support.I just want to point out i strongly agree with the guy above for an important reason.Aside the fact that this season is a bit tough for adc and especially before the resent buffs of some of them,they use it like excuse when the perform poorly.And i mean poorly.

Vayne players will flame like hell and grief for the next 20 minutes of the game while farming 24/7 bot lane and allowing the enemy to kill them many times.Other adc will have no idea even what Tahm does and will still flame him for being useless.I've seen many guys like them trust me.Support is supposed to be fun but it is rather mainly the adc players at fault for failing to communicate and cooperate.

About the communicative part picture this -

You are level 1 and straggle to reach level 2 before enemy's bot so you can take the advantage.You poke them as Tahm with Q and try to force them back.Meanwhile your Adc only last hits cs and isn't interested to poke them a bit.Until,enemy's Zyra and ezreal decide to go all out on your ADC and force him to use his sums and finally tell you "ohh sorry i have been lagging since the start of the game".Ok whatever.In other situations they would respond like "omg stop being aggresive i'm auto filled,reported moron,stfu i'm not obligated to inform you" and so on.

So,we have reached a point in which either to do your adc's job as Brand,Zyra or other supports,deal damage equal to half of enemy's bot damage or get flamed for being useless because your adc can't farm due to enemy's harassment.

Cooperative part -

you start the game as mentioned above and your adc straggles to farm.You try to explain to him your strategy and ask for his cooperation for it.You go all in to poke them,enemy's bot uses their summoners first and 1 second before you get FB guess what.YOU DIE FIRST because your adc kept the heal for himself.

I don't have much a problem with it mostly. I try my best knowing that I win some and lose some games. But I still give it my best. Unless the team is going complete tilt on me. Then I'll play it for fun in a chill manor. Because the only way to win that one, if the other team has someone over there is on tilt too.

Preventing others from dying makes me feel good about myself and makes me feel like I'm a useful part of this world.

It doesn't always win games, but it helps. That's me and my preference for heal/shield supports though, those engage supports in low elo have my sympathies.

If Sightstone does not improve your warding count, you need to learn to ward more.

Moreover not everyone should be on yellow trinket all game long, so by not building Sightstone you're hamstringing yourself into having no red trinket, which means the enemy team can easily acquire a vision advantage and ambush your team during team fight phase.

The reason people criticise no Sightstone supports is because it provides strategical depth no other role can afford due to item slots/gold needed for other things.

You get your bum dove on by 5 people precisely because they know you have no Sightstone, and thus lack the vision control to see it coming.

I see you criticise others for "feeding" while at the same time admitting you have no map awareness, no warding awareness and play in a suboptimal way. At the higher elos at least, playing in this way could certainly cause some people to be "toxic" and criticise your gameplay decisions.

Sun Wu Ryuumoku1 votes

Support should buy sightstone in all game, its a must buy.

if i bought a sighstone we'd still lose and because instead of focusing on the game , you're feeding and being toxic YOU DON'T EVEN WARD YOUR OWN LANE TO BEGIN WITH!!!

its not because u buy a sighstone u will never loose... but it help to win

Marshbouy1 votes

I don't want to deal with toxicity, but it's always going to exist in large gaming communities. There is literally nothing you can do about that. If you cannot handle toxicity then I strongly recommend either finding a way to avoid the issue altogether, through grouping with 5 mans, or just not playing the game.

Easy guide to support carring

  1. Watch all teammates for the first 10 minutes

  2. Buy item 3117

  3. Spoon Feed the best player on your team.

  4. In the case of all bad players, pick a mage support Velkoz Brand Lux are probably the best options. Feed the least worst ally assists.

  5. Buy a item 2045 and constantly ping when an enemy shows up anywhere besides their lane, or the jungler shows up. Most low elo players don't have good map awareness, if they start to trust you ping correctly, they'll respond.

I used to love playing support before riot decided utility champs shouldn't be able to carry games. I loved playing pure tank and just soak the whole enemy teams damage output. I used to love actually being able to heal. I loved stacking auras to make other people stronger. I liked being the major influence in my lane. Warding is important but it isn't the only thing a support does. In fact since I played support more I tend to ward more and try and get vision more whenever I had other roles. I bought a lot of perma wards as zac jungle or malphite top.

I just wish playing support was as fun as it used to be.
