Current support main last couple years (off role jungle).
A misconception i really hate is that if the support has kills they are stealing them from the ADC to pad score. Some ADCs just need to face facts and know that ignight can take a kill or that they just were not going to get that kill themselves. I have seen an ADC complain about a kill they were no where near close to getting to the point that i had to lash, ignight and full combo them as Leona just to make sure they died.
Jungle misconception is that it is the Job of the jungler to gank the losing lane because they are losing. In most cases if you gank the losing lane you are trying to simply balance out their power against yours and if you are not ahead you are likly just going to give them a double kill and possibly double buffs. I see it all the time a losing lane asks for help jungler goes to that lane against a 3/0 champ and Bam double kill now has blue buff enemy 5/0 laner putting that matchup further behind.
Support main here.
The biggest misconception about my role is that it's there solely to fill out what the team is missing.
The second one would be regarding spells. We don't always have to take 
or 
as our secondary spells. Someone pinging a support's 
or 
is not only obnoxious, but it also proves they don't look up builds. Those are meta spells for certain supports/builds, and they have been for a while now.
Also, no, we can't just early ward your camp Junglers, especially not against hook supports. Bot lane gets called the earliest, and both the ADC and support need to be using their wards early game to avoid a snowball from starting that consumes the entire match before anyone else gets a chance to hit their power spike.
Finally, sometimes games are won based on if other people on the support's team are willing to buy a 
for 75 gold. Supports aren't the only role with a spare 75 gold. In fact, we often have the least amount of income on the team. It still amazes me how there are people well into Plat that won't even buy one against a 
. Be a pal and buy a at least once.
That both players are responsible for bot losing. Support main myself but holds true regardless of position in bot. If one persons completely fucking up its rather frustrating.
Also, the "Supports should never damage minions." No one around? Why give away free gold? Last hit. Need to adjust wave position so your ADC comes back to a lane they can easily freaze? Do so. Go to shove to a tower asap so the enemy is denied a bunch of $? shove it then.
Top main here.
Its easier and more effective to play melee picks rather than ranged picks
Its better to build hybrid or defensive rather than full offense
It actually is possible to play from behind
Juggernauts are pretty good tanks
Supports are only meant to stick by the ADC at all times, and are the only ones who should buy any control wards.
Top laners - It's that top laners shit on everyone.
I've heard AD carries use that phrase to justify bot lane being more influential in return for the phrase above.
That's fucking bullshit coz when it comes to late game, AD carries such as 
, 
, and 
will easily hand most top laner diver/juggernauts their ass even while standing in their range, especially to tanks who don't stand a chance at dueling most modern day DPS champs. Bot laners aren't any weaker than top laners with most of them dealing sky high amounts of damage which most juggernauts can only dream of.
That I am to win your lane for you. As a Yi, sorry mid but I'm not ganking for an Ez vs Leblanc. It's a waste of my time, won't accomplish anything and I have better things to do like:
- Getting Dragon (which happens to be one of my champ's strong points)
- Ganking bot lane (because bot lane carries + dragon) or any other easier lane. Same goes for top lane, but top lane being long at least is easier to gank when they overextend.
- Clearing my jungle (before the enemy jungler does, and I'm also a late game carry).
- Screwing over their jungler.
- Or you know, actually getting myself fed off an easier lane so that I can help later IF YOU DON'T FEED.
Jungle decides lanes.
No, lanes decide lanes. Most of the time, the Jungle just turns the faintest tip in the scales into a big lead.
Outside of power gankers or the cheesiest of cheese (pre nerf Shaco), Junglers don't really get to decide anything really. The role is incredibly reactive, not proactive.
Mid main here. I think there is some perception that when mid lane asks for ganks or falls behind on CS it's purely because they suck or something. Sometimes that's just the way the matchup plays out though. For example:
If I'm on 
and facing off against 
, 4/5 times he just straight up beats my ass into submission. It's not a lane I can win on my own unless the Yasuo makes a mistake (note that HE has to GIVE the opportunity for me to win the lane, I can't force it).
That i live on an island. Seriously, if the enemy mid and jungle are camping me and you can't do anything in bot lane, at least try to help me. Just show your face on a ward or something, no need to enter the lane at all. Just seeing that you're there can be enough to put them off diving me for the 12th time.
Mid lane player.
Misconception: Assassins are good. In actuality, they're nowhere near as useful as mages, and usually running an assassin mid lane leaves your team at an inherent disadvantage until you get fed IF you get fed.
Most mid laners who play both hate mages far more than they do assassins (exception goes to Yasuo, that champion is dumb).
Assassins one shot you at every point of the game and in every scenario.
That it has no impact; I think it has plenty of impact, it's just that top lanes ability to impact a game relies way too much on volatile snowballing
That I am always going to max my shields/heals first no matter what, and even if I do, that they are always ready for the ADC to do whatever it is they decide to do, and that they have unlimited range, and that they will heal for all the health in the world when cast, and that they are spammable, so if you die it's 100% my fault 100% of the time.
Right from level 1, no less.
ADC- that I want everyone to cater to me. I just want the team to fight as effectively as possible, which often relies on tanks engaging. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to offer advice
Not even a particular role, I think a general misconception is that someone who is doing poorly WANT to do poorly. Let's be honest, we've all had bad game. We've all fed, and we've all been the weakest link at some point or another. For some reason though, people seem to forget that and think the worst preforming player is somehow the devil and is doing it on purpose. Never really got that one.
Sure I can gank you to help out when I'm about. Don't expect me to perma camp you if you are behind though. I have other lanes to gank and a Jungle to farm, a Herald/Baron to watch and a Dragon too. Also, why is it always my fault if/when we lose?
The whole "better jg wins" meme. But the reality is if i don't have 2 lanes that are AT LEAST going even its really hard for me to get anything done even if i am the cleary more experienced and knowledgable Jungler.
Yeah, You're right, assassins are cancer and mages are cancer. The zed getting a double kill bot is cancer. The Talon counter-jungling you is cancer. The Xerath Nuking you from 5 miles away is cancer. The Neeko that just e'ed half your team is cancer. The LeBlanc that E-Q-W-R-W ed you and popped straight back to safety is cancer. Need I say more?
As a support..
Leaves to roam >> adc (noob) , REPORT SUP. your ward just went down >>> SUPP NOOB THE MAP IS DARK (I just ping the pink ward on the shop). sup 0/5 ... YOU DIED 5 TIMES SUP NOOB... Yeah I died trying to save you stupid player that just go and fight without thinking. And yes I don't have kills because I try my max to give to the rest of the team.
ADC main here
The biggest misconception people have about my role is thinking that "Better ADC wins" is still a thing.
Sure, a fed ADC will do work.... but if his solo laners have turbo fed during the early game then no ADC is going to be able to impact a game when a fed Mage/Assassin is 1 shotting them when they as much as look at them.
that all enchanter mains are carried/boosted or duo'd all their games, etc. xd
