5:32 Wait, Game 1: Someone dodged at the last second ~4 minute wait, Game 2: Someone dodged at the last second ~5 minute wait, Game 3: Gets through champ select, 2:34 second loading screen because someone was really slow, remake It is now 9:31 and I am in another champ select, may the League gods be with me.

Update: Lost the game because of a constant disconnecter after 7 minutes, FFd at 20.

I wonder how many of those dodges were due to people being autofilled as support...

I say half...the other half is people not liking the team comp.

Or someone bans Yasuo

EndlessSorcerer4 votes

Once we have 10 bans, I will never have to see Yasuo again.

It will be glorious.

Great Muta1 votes

Yep, can't wait. My DQ buds and I will love it. No more Yasuo. No more Ekko. No more Fizz. It's going to be amazing. I feel bad for them though as champs like that, Blitzcrank, Illaoi and Darius are never going to get to play that champ again.

One bad thing though is that I think the amount of dodges are going to increase big time.

Maybe it's kids that queue up thinking they have enough time for a game before school but then realize they don't and just leave.

Rook Loux22 votes

I think it's rather amusing that people only think "kids" don't know how to manage their time. Ever think it might be an "adult" that has to leave for work?

Sum Wun Speshal2 votes

I expect an adult to actually manage his time at least a little better than "... nah, changed my mind. Only 30 minutes left now that I am in champ select. 10 seconds earlier, when I was still in queue, it would have been fine."

A Liberal14 votes

You obviously don't know many people if you think being responsible is a prerequisite to being an adult.

crippler383 votes

Apparently not ever being angry or annoying to anyone is a prerequisite to being an adult, I know from experience.

After all no matter what I'm wrong and a child no matter my actual age (not relevant for being an adult apparently)

It's actually way more common in my experience for it to be some idiot starting a game 45 minutes before work

When in doubt, blame it on the youth because they're young.

People could stop picking support lol

EndlessSorcerer14 votes

I don't think you understand how autofill works.

You don't pick support; Riot decides the queue is too long and assigns someone to it.

crippler382 votes

I don't have that problem in normals draft~

is the filler

EndlessSorcerer1 votes

I don't think I've seen autofill be disabled in the past three weeks. It is up every single time I queue for a game (ranked or normal).

crippler381 votes

if you auto fill you automatically don't get hit with the fill for your next queue or so

EndlessSorcerer3 votes

Yes, and that just means that someone else on your team is autofilled.

Considering that players dodging and matches being of lower quality when autofill is active (since it is likely that ~2 players in the game don't actually play their given role), that isn't much of a consolation.

TerranHybrid2 votes

Support Mains are in short supply, which makes the common "flame the support" mantra a little confusing. Consider me a minority here, but if I'm 0/3/25 and my ADC is 10/1/10, I consider that a good game. You might not, but I did my job.

KhaZixTheScyther2 votes

thing is. the support player gets hated, they may be doing good but they feel bad because their team hates on em

TerranHybrid2 votes

It's one of the hardest roles mentally. As a Support, you shouldn't, and almost never will, have an epic Kill/Death ratio. Supports job isn't to kill everyone. That's the ADC's job. Your job is to help them get there.

It took me some time to get used to the heat. If anyone other than my carry whines at me I generally ignore them, because their failings are very rarely related to anything I'm doing. As as Support, my job is Vision Control and protecting the Carry. Keeping my eyes open for incoming ganks, ect. A support player can feel good about the little things more than other roles, like saving someones ass or setting up a good kill with a timely CC.

If your Support is feeling down, remind them that it isn't their job to carry the game. It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life. :)

TerranHybrid2 votes

I guess you deleted your ridiculous comment about "being okay with machoism" or whatever that garbage was, but I guess you figured it out.

I'm not okay with it. I just don't let it effect me. It's called being an adult and knowing that words on the internet can't hurt me. Grow up.

KhaZixTheScyther1 votes

i never deleted it. its still there you replied to a different comment.

thing is a support no matter the age shouldnt have to put up with allies being %%%%s. muting allies fucks you over more then it helps. good job downvoting me btw.

being shit talked by your adc when youre trying your best to keep them alive multiple games ina row, slowly takes down your wanting to support. many games of abuse from multiple people will also slowly degrade this. just because you are perfectly fine with being shit talked, doesnt mean others are.

that has NOTHING to do with being an adult, it just means you are okay with being verbally abused.

TerranHybrid1 votes

Actually, it has everything to do with being an adult. The pedantic cries of people I don't know or never have met can not, and will not, effect me or my day. If someone is blaming me for their ills, I could care less.

Mute button exists for a purpose. If you can't handle the heat, press the mute button and save yourself the grief.

If you are so weak of heart that the opinions of someone you likely never will know or even play with again can bother you so terribly, you have a problem we can't help you with. I would recommend thicker skin and a sense of humor to deal with them if you can't find the mute button.

KhaZixTheScyther1 votes

im not saying that at all jesus fucking christ. your attitude of constant mute explains why you ahve no teamwork and lose games.

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT SOMEONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MUTE ANOTHER PLAYER JUST SO THAT THEY DO NOT GET VERBALLY ABUSED.

KhaZixTheScyther1 votes

i thinkima just stop responded to your ass. you just cannot seemt o get the point of what iw as saying without it devolving into "youi are doing it and youre the toxic one" good day to you ya egotist.

crippler382 votes

I mean it's the same as before if someone was stuck support and they dodged they'd of dodged when given support in dynamic queue.

Honestly I think more people should just play support and not be afraid of the glory that is playing soraka or braum or taric or something and basically making your team infinitely better than they are on their own.

Unless you have a bad game, then it's whatever.

GayFluffyUnicorn2 votes

It depends on the elo i guess. Sure in bronze-gold i as mid main can just go vel koz supp if the need arises. But i don't think i can compete on diamond level as supp. Sure i could go leona or braum or thresh and be kinda on the safe side but i actually have no idea what to do exactly in teamfights, i don't have runes for it i don't have the right builds. So i'd rather dodge than ruin 4 other people mmr.

I pick support, I love it.

honestly this is bullshit, i rather it go back to people just calling out what roles they want like we used to im so tired of waiting so long for one game just to have it be remade or dodged

dragon1xx4 votes

Same. I would only call support anyways, and it is not like my queue times would change.

Maximum Morde6 votes

Calling is stupid. It's a ltitle kid way of selecting something.

Melledoneus1 votes

At least it was faster. Sure, sometimes people would just insta-lock out of spite but god damn I'd rather play a game with the role I didn't want than no role at all.

I rather not, I still have PTSD from those days. Sure it was fine in Diamond plus, but anything below that, it was a 50/50 that someone would just mid/feed

This.

I don't remember ever having a queue time that took longer than a minute or so under the old system.

NineTailedMystic1 votes

No thanks, I actually like playing my role, not hoping I load fast into champ select fast enough a la Blind or hoping I get high pick order.

LA Losty1 votes

I dont want that either, i just want to get the roles that i actually sign up for, if you have to call out the role its just as bad, since if there are multiple people who play the same role it wont make a difference as they would have to fill out the unwanted roles anyway. Either take fill and accept it or wait longer, but let us have the damn choice, otherwise the new championselect is pointless.

Jbels13 votes

It's even worse in normals when a new champion / VGU comes out. Pick it, I dare you. Watch someone on the other team dodge imediately

Fast games at the expense of being the team scapegoat.

Seems legit.

Be good at support and you won't have the problem of being the scapegoat

As a support main this is incorrect, I gave up supporting for the fact that if your adc cannot adc, you are fucked as well, had an adc who went 0/8, i was the support at 2/3/7, he was always out of position, never listened to my pings to fall back when my wards clearly showed the jungler is right there, cannot read enemy movements, come on the raka if just walking up to us, it's bait. I hate playing support, adcs are too full of themselves and when top is feeding, mid is feeding and your adc is crap, that demoralizes the team, at top I usually get 1st blood and if my bot lane is filth( which is VERY common) I can come down and help them out.

BIG DADDY BARD3 votes

You failed to mention how you were the scapegoat, and as a support main this is correct

A Liberal2 votes

You obviously don't understand the concept of a scapegoat than.... It doesn't matter what you do, blame will be deffered to either the jungle or support most often, even when it was neither of their faults.

It takes me 10mins sometimes to find just 1 queue wtf xD

ViiLLAiN2 votes

before gaves took about 35-45 min to finsih now its like a whole hour if u include champ select and q times its stupid and un fun and a waste of time when u know u lost already because ur team picks the most dumbest comp vs a team of all strong champs
