Supporting is easy and you deserve no special treatment. That is all.

"I just want attention so I'm gonna be 'edgy' by saying something that has been said by 100s of people doing the same thing for years"

At least be original if you are gonna troll. This isn't even amusing.

I'm not trolling though. I actually mean this as someone who mains support.

Rude. Only furthers my point.

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

And how weren't you rude? Calling my post troll without even considering it. Only furthers my point.

SangheiliDec 16, 20144 votes

Ok, let me break it down for you. You call out a specific group of players by saying they aren't important in any way without a means for discussion which is typically what you use a forum for: discussion. I also did not call you or your post a troll. I simply pointed out the fact that every troll who has stated the same thing as you (Supports aren't worth anything, supporting is easy...etc) has said in a later post something along the same lines as "I main support therefore my post isn't troll." And lastly when someone calls you out or disagrees you simply are rude without providing evidence for your claim.

Here's the definition: Troll: make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them. (google definition) So in fact your statement is deliberately provoking supports to try to get them angry. If it isn't then what is the point of your post. So your post is either troll, or spam. Leaning on troll side as I (and one other) made a post to provoke you to get angry (The troller gets trolled) and you fell for it. So on that note I must say good day (night) sir (or ma'am) I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

I never said support weren't important, I said support was easy. The reason I called out supports is because support and jungle bitch the most on forums about why they deserve slack. Jungle is actually difficult so I didn't call out junglers (but fuck you too you whiners). Also, it's implied in the way your post is worded that you intend to call me troll. And where, except after your comment, which was also rude and provided no evidence to support your claim, was I rude in any of my replies, despite being written off as a troll?

adc is easy too. they deserve no special support. oh wait, they won't get fed.

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

Adc is much harder than support is. There's a lot more to manage if you wanna be a good adc rather than a good support

SukishooDec 16, 20141 votes

No they aren't. ADCs just have to manage CS so they can get the money to get items so they can then get kills. Supports have a lot more to do cause they have to have high map awareness, place wards, ward at good times, zone the enemies, protect their adc.

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

Everyone needs high map awareness, so that isn't a valid point. Warding is easy, and in a typical game there are only a few high traffic areas need to be warded which can be memorized. If the fights aren't happening in that area, ward where they are. Warding is that simple. That's 3/5 done. Zoning enemies is actually a valid thing that supports do, but they also need to have the adc to be able to zone. It's not a thing a support can do on their own. Protecting the requires more than the supports competence, the adc has to be just as good in protecting himself as you are in order to keep safe, so that's an area where they are equal.

aww. cute.

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

Support is by far the easiest role

OnegarionDec 16, 20142 votes

Adc is the easiest. You get people like me saving your ass all game. Not much you have to do but press the right mouse button or your AttackClick move button and last him.

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

Adc is either the hardest or second hardest along with jungle. You have to manage a lot more and do more than just right click to win.

How is support easy? And how is ADC hard?

Support to-do list: Put up with every kid on the game's flame, just like the jungler Be thought to need to ward all the corners of the map by himself (at lower elo) Pull off a hook/hard to land CC or else get flamed Manage his mana a lot more carefully than most other roles Sometimes die during small skirmishes for the carry to survive Stay further behind to give his carry gold, rather than last-hitting Buy more expensive and less versatile runes Be either hit or miss when it comes to success Live with the burden of knowing that screwing up can very well mean losing the game AND taking the blame as well

ADC to-do list: Flame support Auto-attack from a distance Use your escape whenever someone gets near you Kite melees Flame people for building DMG rather than tanky Get worshipped and spoiled by the whole team because if you AFK the game is over a lot more easily than if any other role does the same Dodge abilities with your own escape, which nowadays all champions usually have to do Force your support to tank all the damage because you dying is the worst that can happen

Supports deserve nearly all the credit of your kills. All that CC, all those heals, all those peels, all those wards, all that tanking. It ain't you that's doin' it. All you do is damage, but they can very well walk away if you are by yourself. Be grateful whenever a Blitz lands a hook or a Nami lands a bubble, because an ADC behind is worthless, but hard CC will always be hard CC. Blitz won't fall behind. I dream of an era where the douchy Ezreals feed and get blamed for everything in the team, while the Blitzcranks are still capable of aiding through good hooks and get honored instead of flamed!

Joe DreddDec 16, 20141 votes

Everyone has to deal with flamers, not just supports and junglers. And don't give me that bullshit where "supports and jungles get blame for no reason!!11!" When supports and junglers are blamed, it's usually their fault. Every is blamed equally, supports and jungles just go to the forums and cry slack more. You don't need to ward every corner of the map, you only need to ward river bushes/drag during lane phase and during mid-late game ward baron / near their wraiths /wolves. Most support CC isn't hard to land, and no one flames for missing a single hook. I know this from experience. Managing mana is important for every mana user. Legit point. How is not last hitting making supporting harder? That's one less thing to manage. Runes don't make support harder. HIt or miss when it comes to success describes this game in general. That goes for every role.
