Any way to make solo queuing as a support main even playable?
I play support main and I've just recently hit level 30. Is there any way you could make this game even remotely playable as a solo queue support without me getting brain dead idiots who just feed and AFK? Every time I see a Ryze mid without flash and a Teemo ADC in ranked champion select I already feel like dodging, but i'll be penalized for other people's mistakes. I know everyone says "but you can carry with a support" and sure that's true, a support can determine who wins. But when a full AD Aatrox top and the rest of your entire team feeds while refusing to surrender it becomes impossible. and there's 40 extra minutes of me bored out of my mind watching my team die over and over but I'll get banned if I afk or leave because I'll be "hurting the team". If the whole game play mechanic of snowballing like crazy by getting fed wasn't there it would be a lot easier to carry people who are terrible. I sound pretty salty I know. I have seen some really good people that I have fun playing with while playing with 2 gold friends, but when I solo queue it's so rare to get anyone who even has the mental ability to dress themselves. It's amazing these people are intelligent enough to turn on their computer and use a keyboard. Riot says things like "Players who verbally abuse their teammates lose 16% more games. Players who curse at their teammates lose 13% more games." But it's backwards. Players who lose because of absolute morons on their team are more likely to get fed up with this entire game because of the terrible pre-platinum community and start verbally abusing and cursing at their terrible feeding brainless team. This is a team game, so solo queue ranked makes NO SENSE because you're ranked based on you and the team you get. But you completely roll the dice on your team! And most of the community of this game are terrible. If you're not playing a role that can carry entire games then playing pre-platinum is annoying and a waste of time. I just want to play without pouring all of my time getting through bronze silver and gold for the game to actually be enjoyable. I'll just keep playing with a team of 5 friends who can think until you can touch up your game a bit and pay attention to the low ELO community. But I would like for one day for this game to be playable alone!
Imagine you are a support beam holding up a house. You're a strong support and you're great at holding houses! But imagine you don't choose what kind of roof you're holding up. If you're a support for a house with a roof and walls made of cardboard it's going to fall down anyway. But then all the carpenters call you a bad support because your house fell down and you are ranked bronze forever.
adc, i had an
support, which was very annoying.. our top was a
and our mid was a
, it was one of the worst matches I've ever played ashe fed teemo didnt even know what he was doing .. after that match I decided ranked was overrated and went back to unranked xD ...... I dont have much advice for a support in ranked I have a friend who really likes playing karma support, basically just don't get pissed off by the people who blame everything on the support and play your best that's all the advice I could give you lol
