Auto-fill support should be removed

Lightning I··5 votes·1,035 views

As an adc main, auto-filled supports make me rethink why I'm an adc main. I know blaming others is bronze and bla bla bla but let's face it, a good adc will win with a good support and hold it with a bad support, a bad adc will hold it with a good supp and and straight up feed with a bad support but that's not the point.

The point is: auto-fill supports don't know what the hell they're doing; the don't engage right, protect the adc properly or even peel for the adc. Example: I just played with a karma support that doesn't main supp really. Half the laning phase she was just standing behind me at full mana and didn't want to poke or do anything while thresh was throwing hooks all the time, the other half I was dead. Mid game she told me you suck and left bot lane to support the jungler. After the game I looked up her match history and guess what? Every time that player played karma support, her adc lost and fed the enemies, exactly like me.

TL;DR: I feel like auto-fill support thing should be removed considering how they turn a game into hell for their adc.

Unless you're an auto-fill support main, I have no idea why you downvoted this

Supports is the primary role that autofill is required. Plus, as an ADC, it's a skill that you have to learn how to play when you have a bad support. Suggest they roam. Play safe, etc, etc.

guess what? I do that. guess what? they don't listen.

I once had a thresh that literally didn't E the whole game just because he forgot he has it. Sure I got S afterwards, not to brag, but to prove that bad supports are bad to the team which may cost us the game

Hopefully you understand that is ANY role in the game.top autofilled ADC? garbage. ADC autofilled jg? garbage. <role> autofilled <role>? garbage. lol Plus, going to repeat... it's a skill to play to what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of not only your comp...but your teammates.

I feel the same with ADCs. Even in gold so many having trouble managing their aggression levels. It's either hamfisted towerdiving Dravens or Tristana/Vayne that do nothing but farm. I'm sure part of it is the meta (I really miss laning with Ashe/Jinx/Varus who tend to follow up more) but it's an issue with adcs too.

People don't get that bot lane needs both adc and support to win, it can't be all adc or all support. Sure this support can carry and that adc is a beast but in the end: bot lane=adc+support

No bot lane is the adc . The supp doesn't matter , because I can't make you follow up I can't make you buy correctly so on and so forth . All I do is pick fill and guess what I get supp the whole time shocker because no one likes to play this easy ass role where you have to rely on your team or if you play a mage supp and just go damage

well I mean, nobody wanting to play support is the main reason autofill exists. but honestly, I don't understand where you get the notion that autofill is to blame for nobody ever playing support, and therefore being garbage at it when they get filled.

I have met more support mains than mid mains and alot of those mid mains are really good mage supports.

Support players are there and they aren't few, I'm just saying that auto-fill supports may cost us the game.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they don't exist, but autofilled anyone is going to be garbage. usually when people are autofilled they get their worst roles, (or roles they don't have many champs for). so I mean, theoretically speaking, autofilled anyone is gonna cost you the game

Okay why don't you supp? Then again no one likes to supp grant it it's the easiest role to play hands down but it's boring beyond belief

I feel your concern, but remember that the auto-filled support suffers as well. I tend to advice them performing just four easy taks:

  1. Buy a support item
  2. Don't farm CS
  3. Place wards
  4. Protect me

A support that does all that is at least somehow usefull and you can play your lane safely.

What about the "support" Veigar who:

  1. Doesn't upgrade past T1 gold gen
  2. Takes as much CS as possible
  3. What are wards lel
  4. Absolutely zero peel
  5. Goes 0/6/0 to enemy Twitch by 10 min in

What about those "supports"? :)
