So according to the Boards, you can never blame your support for losing the game. Blaming your support is what Toxic ADC/Mid/Top/Jungle players do. Supports can do no wrong.

Today, Angry Top/Mid/Jungle Player will be debunking that myth.

WAYS SUPPORTS CAN LOSE THE GAME

Teamfight/Mechanical Misplays

Support's can misplay too.

Bard : One bad portal, one bad ult, and you're screwed. Bard's one way portal leaves you vulnerable when you get out of it. A bad ultimate (such as Ulting your Katarina while she is ulting, denying her ultimate) is awful.

Blitzcrank Pulling the enemy Alistar Galio Amumu MonkeyKing for a point blank AOE CC on your team.

Janna Not as big a deal, but can deny kills by knocking away low health enemies, allowing them to escape.

TahmKench Devouring you right when you were about to kill someone, even when you're not low.

General Mistakes

There are some mistakes Supports can make that can screw the game over

item 2049 Not getting this item. Period. Currently, People can't buy wards. We have a trinket that has a rather long cooldown. It also means that you're team lacks a item 3341 , which means you cannot deny vision. If you cannot get vision, you're going to get picked off. If you don't deny vision, things like Dragon or Baron Steals happen.

Feeding

Supports can be feeders too. Supports are worth the same 300 Gold at the start of the game, just like every one else. So that means if you die in lane to the enemy Jhin , that Jhin is up the same 300 gold that he would be up if he had killed your ADC instead. Supports can feed.

Toxicity and Raging

Believe it or not, some Supports are real dicks. Not all supports are Angelic people who are like a loving mother.

Raging at your ADC

If you rage at your ADC, you're ADC is going to tilt. Period. Then, you're going to say in chat, "Report ADC toxic." Most of you might say, "I never do that.", which is very nice of you. Still, some supports blame their ADC, just like some ADC blame their supports.

With that, I'm gonna end here on this note. If Supports can't lose the game for you, then does that mean they can win them? If you make that 5-man Sona summoner 4 Ult to win the teamfight, doesn't that mean you can also lose by going 0/10/3 on her and not building anything but AP?

Bottom line, supports CAN do wrong, just like how they can contribute a lot to their team.

Supports CAN carry. Just like how they CAN lose a game.

Edit: Yeah, vision is everyone's job. But buying wards is off the menu now. The role that is designated holder of the item 2049 actually got a BUFF to your carrying power. Since you have the most vision control, by outwarding and outsweeping the enemy support, you can help carry your team.

i really dont care what my support does. i just want him to do the simple things i ask and when i ask them.

he could be 0/10 5 levels down, thats literally what i expect from my support. but when i tell him to ward brush _____ ping ping... (location)

and he doesn't do it, and then i die and we lose an obj because if, then its a problem that hes playing poorly.

if i tell him " sona use your ult right away as soon as the fight starts, preferably on the enemy ADC "

and then sona goes and saves it, holds it for forever, and we overwhelmingly lose the team fight, shes the last one left running away, 2 man chasing her down. CRESCENDO!!! AND SHE RUNS AWAY and lives.

thats tilting.

Yesterday I was playing a normal match. It was late game, and we were fighting a crucial team fight. Their team was clustered, and I used my e on all of them as Lux . Start charging my ult, and our bard ults them too. We got aced, and lost. I'm not blaming him, as i screw up a lot too, but that was just my experience with bad suppport mistakes

Odd choose of words buddy, either way, the truth is that any player can make mistakes if that's what you're trying to get to, the idea that the gameplay board think supports can do no wrong is coming from you because as an ADC i've seen the support being blamed a LOT around here for a bunch of stuff.

Sometimes as a jungler I have to give up getting my blue or red smite to get the warding item. Which sucks. Because as somebody who plays support secondary: Leona, Nautilus, Sona, Soraka and Kayle. I know Wards are 100% essential, and even if wards are everyone's job, they first and foremost the support's job. We have the spare money and low investment needs to buy items like sightstone, and purchase pink wards. It IS out job.

Just so you are aware, pink wards are available to purchase for everybody, not just the support

I know... I am a support and jungle player. I usually have most wards placed every game regardless of role. Support is still the role that should be placing and buying the most wards. Always.

What makes me sad is when I'm Mid and I out-ward my Support... some of those games the Support even had a Sightstone...

And we will remember that when you get caught out and we could've saved you with a Bard ult, a hook, or Tahm swallow.

Yeah no, they can carry a game, but it's not even slightly possible they can also cost you a game.

Jungle too.

Jungle can cost a game. But not by not ganking your 0/3/0 lane is the difference.

I play quite a bit of ADC and not support so I may be bias but I've seen plenty of supports do wrong like you've mentioned. That being said you can definitely notice a good support from a bad one and I always make sure that my support knows when they're doing well. Like when you're Janna is constantly blocking Leona's E with her tornado and timing that perfectly. All hail queen Janna especially since I play mainly immobile ADCs.
