For the Support Mains

For every Sona that sustained me with her sick beats, that dropped the bass so hard enemies couldn't help but dance... For every Zilean that sped me out of danger or slowed an enemy to a crawl, that gave me a second chance at life when I royally screwed up... For every Lulu that stuffed the other team so full of pixie dust they bled glitter, that brought me back from the brink with a growth spurt... For every Leona that stood between me and certain death, that led the charge like a blazing star... For every Janna that kept the wind at my back, that gave me breathing room in the eye of a storm... For every Alistar that locked horns with danger, that kept the road clear and endured enough pain to kill a man many times over... For every Soraka that patched me up, that gave me life from beyond the fog of war... For every Morgana that locked a target down, that forced enemies to scatter or die... For every Karma that made enemies think twice before getting too close, that knew when to use what mantra... For every Nami that kept everyone cool, that put the nami in tsunami... For every Zyra that turned bot-lane into a garden of eden, that showed how every grasping, spitting, stinging rose has thorns... For every Taric that dazzled eyes with fabulous flair, that had a gem for every occasion... For every Thresh that shackled enemies in chains, flung them back or pulled them closer, that lit the path to freedom, that made the Rift into his personal hell... For every Blitzcrank that made cowards out of any carry, that proved hiding behind minions isn't enough to stay safe... For every Braum that took a bullet for me, that carried me on an avalanche to victory... For every Bard that chooses to be Bard and makes it work...

My hat is off to you; you're my rescue girl (guy), my hero.

People underestimate the Nami far too much.

For every Thresh that puts his lantern on CD for a single soul and gets reliable for a death... For every Taric that suddenly hides behind his carry when he is in the position to zone... For every Blitzcrank and Alistar that pulls or throws those tanky guys into their own safe low hp squishies... For every Thresh that picks Relic Shield and is so main support he does not manage to get a single lasthit... For every Bard that ults his own team to lose complete TFs... For every Kennen and Amumu that think they know what they are doing just because someone once played it on the LCS... For every Teemo that is sure he does not need to buy wards because he can put mushrooms post6... For every Thresh that suicides for a single soul... For every Ashe that is sure this champion is an easy support pick and dies ten times within five minutes... For every Veigar that needs farm more than his carry... For every Thresh that does not understand his E can interrupt certain jumps... For every Leona that constantly jumps in, nomatterwhat... For every Nidalee , Velkoz or Karma that needs the blue buff SO much more than the mid lane ap carry... For every Fiddlesticks that always manages to get half a wave of farm when he harasses with his E.... For every Janna that only uses her shield when the carry is not targetted by any kind of damage and not in the position to put the AD to use... For every Morgana that uses her Black Shield on her carry just after he got combo'd by an Alistar... For every Soraka that maxes her poke first but is incapable of hitting a single skillshot... For every Nunu that has no Relic Shield but makes sure to eat all those cannon creeps... For every Thresh that does not throw his lantern into an escape route but into that scary tanky guy's face opposite... For every LeeSin and other AD guy that thinks a full AD building champion will not fall off without farm and be able to carry... For every Zilean and Kayle that refuses to ult anyone except for himself... For every Lulu that always picks the less fitting W or E in any situation... For every Braum that activates his E right after all those cute skillshots flew in and aims it in the wrong direction...

For every support that roams so much that his carry is practically solo laning but only feeds the opponent mid and jungle... For every support that refuses to block skillshots on full HP for his almost dead mates... For every support that thinks he can fight those fed solo laners in a 1vs1... For every support that refuses to help his carry lasthit under the turret... For every support that wards the bush you put your trinket in five seconds earlier... For every support that afks under the turret and does not join before 2 minutes into the match... For every support that does bronze actions in diamond and blames his adc for the outcome... For every support that had to fill into the position in solo queue and rages and trolls... For every support that builds 4 items with active abilities and uses none of them...

My hat is off to you; please hide your face in it.

Always found it really strange that people are all, "Supports are amazing! Unsung heroes of League! No such thing as a bad support, it's always the ADCs fault! Support mains are gods among us!" 'Unsung heroes' is quite the overstatement, considering I always compliment my support and thank them for their hard work.

Don't get me wrong, support is an incredibly vital role, and I commend anyone who's good at it. But we're all players.. We're all people.. They can make just as many (and sometimes way more) mistakes than the ADC.

What about the Marksman that out cs'd his lane opponent to oblivion? The Marksman that got a solo triple kill when the jungler ganked? The Marksman that used heal to save the support's ass when they jumped in too far? The Marksman that carried the team to victory?

Honestly sometimes the ADC mains are ragged on more than anyone else.

Aww how sweet thank you so much. I don't think we've ever played but hearing thanks from someone that understands sups (anyone) is so cool. Whenever things go wrong there the first to blame but when things go well they never get any credit honestly this was heart warming. Thank you

Good lord. These threads are done way too often.

Hatless Casual5/15/2015, 6:49:03 AM4 votes

Myself and all other support mains appreciate that you don't treat us like trash, all we usually get is the blame when things go wrong and never any real credit when we turn a bad team fight around.

If you haven't been supported by competent Gangplanks or Sejuanis yet, then you've been robbed. Nunu is really strong as well.

My favorite is when you're supporting really well and the ADC is like "I can totes 1v2 these guys" and you're like, laughing and cringing at the same time. In essence, thanks for the shout out!
