Sometimes when I'm playing support....

sometimes?

you must be high elo

Play mage supports and never rely on your ADC again :D

Hey there, support main here, just wanted to give a little advice if that's sort of the point of this. I've had a bunch of experience with stuff like this, as well as playing with extremely good AD's who will carry you without much effort on your part. I think that the most important thing to do in this situation is to truly know your part on the team. No, I don't mean sitting in the bush and making sure your AD doesn't die every time they walk into lane. I mean roaming. Don't be afraid to leave your AD alone, you being there probably won't help anyway, in fact, they'll probably try playing safer if you're not there. It's more important to figure out who on your team is actually a competent player and trying to snowball them as much as possible. Your job is to support the most likely carry for your team, and if its not the carry in the botlane, then it's the one in mid (and if it's not him, then you're probably screwed). Of course, there's more to it than that, but I just wanted to mention you shouldn't be afraid to leave the useless member alone to help an important one.

I'd like to mention my favorite supports are Nunu and Lulu.

I am playing a child.

Taking care of people who I consider small children.

Send help.

Still waiting for a guy to pass by and say:

-"Yup, that's me".

When you have a downsyndrome ADC, you might aswell take over as ADC... even if you're Soraka.

I main support and personally, it is true. The ADC gets all the kills and all you do is get blamed. People don't realize that the ADC deals the DPS, but mostly in laning phase it is us supports making the initiations and guaranteeing the kill for our ADC. People don't acknowledge our presence as a useful person on the team. So guys, stick to........................................... DUO QUEUE!

Sometimes when I play support its just a game of me playing support

And sometimes when I play ADC I can't help but think my Leona is seriously blind (actually that's pretty funny, I see a lot of Leonas constantly engaging no matter what's happening/where the ADC is and that's a good laugh), watch as my Blitz camps a bush and snipe hooks (pretty much always failing), watch my Thresh act as if he was a Blitzcrank and the list goes on. Before you blame the ADC, think about your own mistakes. I've seen countless garbage support mains try to have their very own fault fall onto the ADC. That's disgusting, if you ask me.

I don't play botlane much, but fact is you find equally awful Supports and ADCs and people need to stop thinking their role is better than the other. This is true for every role, actually. It's pretty much as bad as blaming the jungler if you are a solo laner: what I mean is that it's really never the other player's fault, unless he/she dives for no reason and dies. And trust me, both ADCs and Supports do it. A lot.

Yeah, supporting outside of high elo is more about making sure your adc gets fed and then praying they can position for shit in teamfights. Helps if you can snowball yourself too. Don't try to copy the pro picks, just go Annie (nobody respects the bear) or something similar. The key is to win lane 1v2 regardless of your adc's skill (before duo restrictions I had to support a silver adc in a plat game and managed to keep it even for a while even though he missed almost half the cs for no reason, that's the kind of play it takes to consistently win as support in soloq).

I just told my adc laning with him was truly a Kafkaesque experience. Then I assured him it was a compliment.

I'm not even offended. XD

First, Acquire Squid.

Second. Build sightstone and frost queens.

Third. Do most damage anyway.

Nah

Step 1: Take full armor pen runes Step 2: Play Talon Step 3: Wait till 6 Step 4: 1v2 the enemy carry and support with 5 cs and 3 long swords Step 5: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

lmfao Amen

It only starts to improve around 2.4kmmr trust me Then the special needs kids kill eachother over and over and something happens before 10 minutes maybe

when i play support, i play ADC

just play kill lane supports so that even a retard ADC can get fed. Gangplank, Nautilus, Pantheon, Xin, Volibear, etc

Thought I might share my most recent experience. Me as support GP with Varus as ADC. Laning phase we start with a lead. I roam mid twice and pull off successful Ganks. Both times I am watching bot on the mini map and see Varus looking a little too close to a comp that has a blitz (a blitz that pulled creeps on every pull I saw, when in lane.) ultimately getting pulled and dying both times. All because I was not there to set the bar for distance that worked flawlessly till I stepped away.

Everytime i play top lane i feel like i'm babysitting special needs team.

How that sounds?

I hate egoistic support players.
