Look at this. Look at it.

Now comprehend it.

Learn from it.

You know what supports have to freaking do? Look at HOW MANY DAMN ACTIVES WE HAVE TO USE! We also have to FREAKIN WARD EVERYTHING. Then after that, SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS from when you DIVED THE WHOLE ENEMY TEAM. And after all that is said and done, we set up your FREAKIN PENTAS.

Supports do all this not for the recognition. No, we don't do this because it's a glamorous job. We do this because no one else does. We do all the behind the scenes stuff. We set up everything for you carries. And what do we ask for in return? Nothing. Nothing at all.

So please, show us some kindness. Sorry we KSed that kill in laning phase, it was to save your life. Sorry we weren't bot all the time to babysit you, we were helping out the team. Sorry that I keep dying first in teamfights, at least you didn't.

Sincerely, A part-time support main

As an ADCarry main i would like to say thank you for stepping up and taking the role no one else will. You are the types of supports i WANT to support me, the one who will: die to save me, give their life to get me fed/penta and just over all being a good team mate. I know that 90% of ADCarry mains are assholes, but you still want to support even when they are. Just thank you for being a good support over all and i hope i may get you as a support one day :D. Good luck in your games and i hope to see you on the rift "pref on my team" some day [slayer-jinx-catface]

Thank you. After putting up with my teammate(s) diving the whole enemy team without the full team and jumping in to save them, get killed doing so, and still getting flamed at for saving their ass, it's really nice to see that I'm not the only (part-time)support main who's had to deal with this.

You know what I would be happy with as a support main?

If the ADC used their trinket early game so we don't get ganked out of no where because my trinket only has 2 charges until I can get Sightstone. I can't tell you how annoyed I get when I use my 2 charges, it's on a 130 second cooldown, and the ADC has not used their trinket ONCE. I should not have to run back to the turret to type to you that you need to be warding too. It's one ward, you can do it.

I would also love people to realize that even support wards don't last forever.

And finally, it's EVERYONE'S job to ward dragon. Every single person on our team needs to be paying attention to objectives.

I wouldn't mind dealing with awkward scaling and itemization so much if people would just realize those 3 things. I also don't mind when my teammates make stupid mistakes because supports in this game are like the team's airbag.

If we all agreed on those 3 things as a community I would be so happy.

Dont forget that when you get the adc fed and the top and mid laner feed like shit and you lose.

Oh wow, 8 buttons, of which you use maybe 2 on a regular basis. Wanna guess how many I used for over 10 years in Wow? How about a healer, who had over 20 buttons and TONS of cooldowns and mechanics to keep track of?

Please, don't act like this game is, in any way, hard.

As a support main, I do it for the un-matchable feeling of knowing that you saved your teammates life when they were on the brink of death. That glorious feeling when you become a savior to your team. Knowing that without you, they'd hvae lost at champ select.

oh I just get that good shudder just thinking about that feeling of being a savior and god to your team.
