Support stats at the end of the game

Quints··1 votes·669 views

Right now, and well for a very long time, supports have been disappointed at the end of the game, at least I know I have been. Now you might ask why that is, or what's wrong with supports? Are they too strong, or too weak? No in fact that's a different discussion for a different day. The problem is what a support has to look forward to at the end of the game. What do you mean? The S+ Nami main asked? Ask yourself this: Right now in league what does a support have to look forward to at the end of the game? The toxic Riven main goes Riven I did the most damage The quiet Rammus main goes Rammus I tanked the most damage The fierce Gangplank main goes Gangplank I farmed the most gold But what does the support have to say for themselves? Thresh Well I don't have the most damage, I'm not the most tanky, I don't have many items, and I'm the last in gold, what do I get to look forward to? Many times after a great game a player checks out the charts at the end of the game, to see how badly they stomped the enemy team but the support can't really do that. What can we do to make the support feel like they belong? I propose the idea of 'Most CC Dealt' or 'Most Champions Stuned' Because the 0/5/17 Thresh won his team the game with that game winning hook, but has nothing to show for it other than a grey screen and 'play again' option, introducing this 'total cc dealt' option could make the support feel at ease with how they played, or show them where they need to improve. Many a time the Alistar main goes: Alistar Woe is me, I sat in that teamfight for years, decades even, and have nothing to show for it. or the Morgana main goes: Morgana I landed a clutch binding on their ezreal and got a 5 man morg stun! But what does she have to say for it? Poor AlwaysBeBindin doesn't have the most damage, and isn't the tankiest. In conclusion: rito pls tl;dr: Most CC dealt statistic at the end of the game.

Most wards placed and most assists are what I aim for as supp. Not every supp is a CC powerhouse.

Or ignore the ego booster, and say Wtf did I mess up. Win or lose, you should know what you did right and wrong. Improve that and stop beating off to numbers

Wtf is the deal with people replying with that kind of attitude? If there were more stats that a support player could see themselves contributing to, it could mean more people might become interested in queueing up as Support to make queue times lower. There is literally zero downside to this guy's recommendation, you're just being negative about it without posting any reason as to why you think this is a bad idea.

I think this is a great idea, but I don't think it needs to be in two separate statistics like you proposed, 'Most CC Dealt' or 'Most Champions Stuned'... they should just come up with an algorithm for Stun/Slow percentage & Duration of that CC. Along with that, a 'Damage Shielded' would be amazing as well. Not just random shields popped but actually protected damage absorbed by a shield.

Support could have all the numbers in the world to look at, people dont play support cause it sucks to play support. Its a great position, but in ranked unless youre with a group of friends being support is a pain

But why not include it? I don't even care about just supports feeling happy, I just think it'd be cool seeing how much CC was applied by everyone. I've been playing some ranked 3v3 as a Sej and we've been winning, but I don't get very many kills if any a lot of the time. I would just like to see how much I was slowing down their whole damn team and for how long. I realize it isn't something we NEED but it would be interesting to see and I don't see any harm in adding it. I just don't get the whole "stop beating off to numbers." I'm not, but why even have 'Damage dealt to champs' as a stat or any stat for that matter if not for people to review after the game? That's the point, it's just fun to look at to see what you contributed.

support: i got more gold than their jungler/top laner, got 80% of the entire teams kills in assists, placed most wards and did almost as much damage as (player)

I didn't know the game was supposed to stroke people's already wafer-thin Plasticine egos. Supports have enough shit to worry about than focus on how much of what arbitrary stat they have at the end. If that's what you're going to focus on, you DEFINITELY have no business being the support.

By the way, I regularly deal more damage than the damage mains as the support.

Like tanks, you can't really judge how well a support truly plays by numbers alone.

You can't judge how well a fed top lane AD champ like Riven or Irelia played by numbers alone either (damage dealt/kills). They would bed fed af and still play like an idiot when it comes to reading the map, pushing turrets, grouping when needed etc. It's just a matter of supports/CC dealers having something to review after the game in the same way that heavy damage dealers do. There's no reason to have damage numbers in the aftergame report either if there's no reason to have CC as a trackable number.
