PSA from a annoyed support main

ÈvilMorty··6 votes·597 views

I play a lot of support and eventually became a support main because when I dont play support I usually just get feeding bot lanes. As such i've noticed a lot of little things that get on my nerves that my team (mostly my adc) does and would like to address them. Keep in mind im not saying all adcs are stupid and dumb, these are just little things I've noticed.

1: You have wards, use them.

2: If your support has relic charges, let him/her use them. Especially out of lane.

3: If the support is warding/clearing wards and leaves you alone in lane to do so, don't fucking go all in or stand right next to the enemy thresh.

4: Just because I land my poke abilities, it does NOT mean I want you to go in.

5: If we are running away and i use my hard cc abilities to secure our escape, for the love of god don't go back in thinking you can take them all. I see this happening a lot more then it should.

6: My healing/cc spells have cool downs just like every other ability in the game, dont get mad when i use them to for whatever reason and then cant immediately use them after.

7: If the situation calls for it, let me clear the wards. If you want 10-30 gold, go kill a minion. Unless if there is like 3-4 wards in a area which i cant clear them all.

8: Every now and then I will roam either alone or with my jg to mid lane to help my mid laner if he/she needs it. When this happens, learn to play safe when you are alone.

9: Keep in mind that I can only place 3 wards at a time and they dont last very long. I will have to go back to get more if the situation calls for it.

10: I will not willing block/tank hooks for you just because you cant tumble/dash/position properly. I will however, block hooks if the situation calls for it.

10.5: I know a lot of adcs want supports to stand in front of them to tank spells, but i hate standing in front because 9 times out of 10 its just going to result in me pointlessly tanking unavoidable autos cough cait cough. Most of the time i will stand beside or if your getting pretty close to them to farm then slightly behind you.

10 3/4: Don't fucking spam ping me if I get hooked/caught knowing full well that I blocked said spell for you.

11: Please stop going in when your behind

12: If your going in 1v2 or 1v3, not under the turret and if I dont think we can win it based off of clear observations (i.e fed enemy/our adc being half or low hp while there all full), I will leave you and laugh at your stupidity

13: Please dont blame the support for your mistakes. Noticing your own mistakes instead of making excuses will improve your play in the future.

14: If the jungler pings us to go in for a gank, then I will do everything in my power to pull off a good gank, I expect you to do the same and not just sit there with a thumb up your ass.

15: If i see the enemy tp or jg coming in for a gank and I ping to leave, you leave. Don't ignore it to either get one or two more minions or think we can win a 3v2 (unless we are really ahead)

Thats all, thanks for reading Feel free to add more in the comments if you want.

#7 should be bolded. So tired of hitting a pink ward 3 times for a mid/adc to steal the gold on final hit. They'll bitch and moan when I take their cannon minion after.

As a jungler player i know this feeling... They lighten u of ur jungle camps, but they b*tch so hard for one or two minion.

Add to #10, just cause I'm playing Morgana, don't expect me to Black Shield you to block every hook. I'm so tired of my ADCs literally standing off to the side of the minion waves, literally daring the Blitzcrank to hook them, then pinging me when they got hooked by Blitz. "No black shield?!?!?" "Umm, I'm level 1." "Umm, I used it on the last hook you walked into and his cooldown is shorter than mine." "Umm, I'm oom from shielding your ass all lane."

16: I'm not intentionally trying to take your CS when you have 80 and I have 2. My skillshot stole a CS or I misclicked when walking around you and clicked the CS on accident or didn't know this bush was warded and have auto attack turned on, you don't need to spam ping me because of it. It's 2 CS.

17: I did not "steal" your kill with my auto attack. The fact that your auto left the enemy at 17 hp and my auto attack got the kill is not me "stealing" it.

18: Focus Soraka. I shouldn't have to say this as often as I do.

19: We chunked the enemy low and the minion wave is at river, don't mindlessly push it to them. They are low, they can't heal off the wave if they can't reach the wave. Please just let me zone them while you farm casually. We don't need to kill them to get a lead.

20: Please listen when I Danger ping you. The number of times my ADC says, "how did you know" after I danger ping them and begin to run away right before the enemy Twitch opens up from stealth in my ADC's face with a Taric ult on him amazes me. I saw something or feel like we are getting ganked, please just play a bit safer for 10 seconds. The 2 CS you miss won't kill you.

21: Engage with me if they waste an important cooldown or we have an advantage. Blitz just missed hook, walk up with me and poke them. You just backed, bought a BF sword, and got back to lane and the enemy laner hasn't backed yet, engage with me. We literally can't lose these fight so long as you actually engage with me since we have the cooldown advantage or item and health/mana advantage unless you let me engage solo or we eat literally all the CC they have repeatedly while fighting together.

Very true! I wish more ADCs understood these things.

There's a whole list of things that can be directed toward support players as well, but that's for another thread.

What I do want to point out is #7. It's a slightly general situation being described, so you probably already know about it. Clarifying just in case: Wards that are revealed by you will give you the gold regardless of who the killer is. This is not a 50/50 split! It's doubled gold value!

So don't worry about adcs "taking" your ward kill, because it just gives it more value. Again, sorry if you already know this.

Yes thank you for pointing that out as its something i forgot to mention. However, this doesnt apply to control wards

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

Only applies to red trinket. All other forms of reveal give gold only to the killer.
