Dude why you feed? "I am support dude.."

So how many people have hear that excuse...since when a support is ok to have 0/15/5?

Or they think that a support champion give less gold to the enemy? all roles give 300g....so if you pretend that you "save someone" no you just dont know how to play and you die 15 times..you feed the enemy 15 times...i dont care what role you are...

If that was the TOP laner or Jungle or MID or ADC everyone would scream "REPORT THE FEEDER" but for somehow the support is ok to feedf?

You know what the good support? the ones that are x/3-5/20 in a balanced good game not 0/15-/5...

i am out

It all depends on how you ask them, if you ask them why they are 0/# of course they are going to get defensive and point out that supports can't get kills.

Even if they are being unreasonable about it and that # is actually really high.

You're better off not asking rhetorical questions of your teammates and harassing them when they are struggling, because it's most likely just going to make them argue with you and play worse.

Here is a better question. Why are you asking someone why they are feeding? It should be obvious that they are struggling. Why do you think making them feel worse will somehow make them play better?

Except that is not why you ask them why they are "feeding." Don't use "I want to know what you are thinking" as an excuse because we all know that there is nothing you plan to do with this information. You just said they are feeding because you are frustrated and trying to relieve that frustration by pushing it off onto someone else and probably making them feel even worse when they already know they are having a rough game.

a score like that doesn't always mean they're feeding, my score as a support once was 0/6/0, and yet I wasn't feeding because my 6 deaths allowed my ADC to survive

I thought support is one of the hardest roles to actually feed because of how much tools they have.

Even sometimes as support you really have to let your ADCs/teammates die. Can't save everyone especially if they're caught in the most obvious mispositioning.

thing is, most of the time the support is the one to sacrifice for bad teammates. thats what makes you a good support.

first one in, last one out. unless you are a passive support. but even in lane "passive" supports should be more aggressive than the adc.

Then you have to judge if it's worth sacrificing that one bad teammate, because if you found out that it's not worth, you can end up giving double kills for no reason.

Using "I'm _ role" should not be an excuse for dying a lot.

Are you kidding? If you want to feed, you will feed. Doesn't matter what slot you are. IME, people that die repeatedly aren't always the ones doing the feeding. Their allies could be untrustworthy cowards and that would result in a lot of allied deaths that were easily preventable if only they cared and treated this game like it should be treated, like a team game.

I'm supp main and tell me toxic?

DSØSep 16, 20171 votes

Youre right. Your support shouldnt die and neither should you. Dying is bad for everyone.

Deaths overall are bad, you give the enemy gold. Its better just to back

Even the contrary is upsetting tho. "play safe guys, Jinx stick with me, ww stop diving like that you can't get past Lulu they kill you, Ori save stuff to keep jinx alive, malph engage. we have this" WW (2/4/1):"stfu Janna u 0/5 fuck u feeder" Me: Janna 0/5/21 with 17/4/2 Jinx in my arms : "......."

IME, there are 2 kinds of bad support players.

Support mains that don't understand how bottom/jungle/top/middle works so they don't know how best to support. These are the kind that down-voted my comment that I deleted I guess. And autofilled supports that have zero intention of playing the game out normally and don't care if teammates suffer.

There are a lot of different kinds of good support players, but the bad ones still outnumber them.

Support mains usually have twisted ideas about what it means to be a support player, and autofilled supports read that crap and believe in it, so they repeat what they've been told. Not taking the time to learn the slot proves they don't care. Not all autofilled supports are bad though. A lot of them are just fine. I actually think it's less common for support mains to be decent. They still have that disconnect from not experiencing what it's like to play other slots well.

If I wasn't a fill main I'd get autofilled support a lot I guess, I don't really know, I'd rather do what I can to reduce the tensions within the team and minimize the chance someone gets autofilled. I'm sure I still get lots of autofilled players, but at least I'm trying to support the community by playing mainly fill.

To me, it would be easier if players that chose to fill were reassured with the knowledge that they couldn't get autofilled players on their team. I think people would be more often willing to fill if they knew they could get rewarded for it with such a precaution used for them.
