Lol wow 10/10
Ah this comment made my day. Thank you for this.
As a support main who recently started trying out more Midlaners/Junglers, I must say I have started to realize this is super easy to do by accident.
Twice within the past 2 days even I have insta-cleared the wave only to realize that my Leona or Braum was standing right beside me waiting for the cs to reach them and then they walk away all dejected.
I wish there was some sort of ping that could be associated with the item to make it more clear what you want.

yea its pretty easy to miss the support trying to farm surrounded by glowing balls...
I'm a support main that has been on both ends of this as well. I'm not typically looking at the champions on my team specifically, I look instead at nearby enemies and the map. It's really not hard to miss them. That said, you can actually ping a Relic Shield or Targon's Brace and it will tell your teammates how many stacks you have on it.
I'm a tank support main and at the same time whenever I play a different role I find that I am too distracted by trying to farm efficiently to notice the visual
As long as Syndra is not trying to steal them.
You can just ping your item which tells your team in chat how many charges it has left. I pinged 2 times that I had 4 charges right next to my mid laner and they instantly cleared wave 1 second before I got to hit any of them. This seriously hurts support gold pool when we miss out on 90-ish gold from losing out on those 4 charges, which frustrates me when I can't buy an item because I was short 100g. My team needs me by their side so I can't just wait for those 100g at base at late game.
I used to just buy coin instead because it was insanely frustrating not being able to use your support item 10 minutes after the game starts. Nobody lets you use it. They even ping you off or use ults to clear the wave so you can't hit it. This causes me to have to play stupid to try to nab a minion to let me heal me or my ally or just get some gold, letting me be caught out.
But the coin doesn't give 2 gold per 10 seconds like the other two, so it's just such a bad buy. You make much less gold.
At the last paragraph I thought you wanted to say ,,I wish there was some sort of ping to apologize to them saying ,Is it late to say sorry now' "
To the people who wombo minions from 100-0 when Im right next to them with 4 stacks of Spoils of War
If the ADC (as is usually the case) keeps doing that - despite at least 3 pings on the item and/or friendly reminders - even after getting to full build, as the game goes on, would it be rude to "accidentally" stay just out of range for the Face of the Mountain active when shit happens...?
Would it be rude to go duo top?
I have essentially stopped playing tanky supports all together as a result of consistent lack of love (aka any sense at all) from the ADCs. I have also moved top as a split primary position (Lulu mage). But yes, I have gone duo top instead. At least my tanky support efforts have been more appreciated there.
All to get as far away as possible from any non-premade ADC. Sad, but true. I also pretty much just play ARAM anyway. And there I as often as not just switch to Talisman if the Relic gold sharing is on the low (which it usually is - especially if we got any ADCs (go figure)).
Just out of curiosity, is the lack of allowance for gold sharing a reportable offense for refusing to communicate? The ADC effectively IS holding me back as a support at no cost whatsoever to the ADC by not letting me have at the very least the siege minions, and so reducing my capabilities to help the team as a whole more and more as the game goes on due to ever increasingly more and more lost gold.
You have
or
with Zyra? XD
Midlaner does it? Sucks but meh, maaaybe they don't know or aren't used to the interaction. Adc does it? FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
Being a midlaner for 4 years...
What is "interaction"? Can you eat it?
I am guilty of this. I shall repay my crime with a completely unrelated funny video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QaeZRG4k6w&ab_channel=JustonBibero
wtf is this lmfao
Straight up just died laughing. RIP
Playing
, I see the support walking out of the jungle with stacks of spoils of war so I only deathray the casters so they can proc the melees, and they just walk past and ignore the minions. Guess they ruined it for everyone, now I just deathray the whole wave unless they have been actively pushing with me.
When you tell someone to not clear the wave since u got coin or something, and the next thing you know, poof, there goes the minion wave
Have felt this far too many times.
Also, if I'm playing
, it's mid-late game and I'm below full hp... and they won't let me stack OR lifesteal while we're grouped. Feelsbad.
all the time when i play ADC or fiddle and i'm trying to life steal back and they kill everything. Then i have to roam to the jungle to heal and a fight happens while i'm "healing". Smh.
That's 80% of players on my team. The other 20% is me.
LMFAO

Sometimes it's just unavoidable.
When I get anyhow fed as a mid laner, more often than not I can OHK whole minion wave with one spell, if they clump up.
I was expecting the words " Its my money and I need it now!"
This crap is why I'm sorely tempted to get the coin instead. Low health canon minion, I'm about to kill it and...pew the ADC kills it. Full stack of spoils, a line of low health minions and pew midlaner clears it.
Thanks for gold starving me even more you douchebag. Whoops! Looks like I forgot to stun that diving Lucian and you died. Whoops! Didn't mean to secure that kill when you clearly could have gotten it. Whoops! Didn't mean to headbutt the enemy to safety. Whoops! Didn't mean to point my Braum shield in the wrong direction.
If your support is carrying stacks of spoils, be nice and let them kill minions. It's our only real source of gold. Otherwise, don't be too surprised when your support mysteriously seems to be "bad". >:)
I have noticed this as well at times, but usually it is best to communicate beforehand in public matches as some players are not aware the item even exists.
as a note, the effectiveness of pushing can vary, but the support can also target the full health back line of minions or get the tougher ones out of the way such as melee and siege minions
the problem does come later though when looking for gold and the carries clear the entire wave before you can hit any of them XD
The people that don't know the supports itemization are what's wrong with league

Though, not everyone who chooses to build something other than sightstone is trolling. Many high elo (think Master or Challenger) supports who are playing carries rush damage, such as Sorc boots or Liandry's.
That being said, in my elo of high plat to low diamond, I usually get sightstone early since people still throw so much, and vision is still as useful as combat stats because people often have bad awareness.
Half of the community still thinks Relic Shield is bugged, because the execute doesn't work on Thresh.
Or when you're about to do a massive waveclear combo with E>E>Q on ryze and someone kills the minion that your E is on
I've had this happen to me a lot. And it is quite annoying.
Ok people check it out, I have found a certain niche that doesn't screw up the meta and allows bot to win the games in adverse conditions..ie the jg and mid fed 20 kills before 20 minutes... As a support always take a champ with hard cc but build for attack damage, take the spellthief to start... assuming your adc is down with the lane play.. As an adc, you start by poking champs and letting sup take the first 2 wave.. and start by building tanky and go for a dps build, that way your support can get a damage item or 2 to help zoning the enemy... allowing the ADC to farm more efficiently while nurfing the enemy teams farm... As an example focus on a bot duo of Tahm and Urgot, Urgot farms cs, while Tahm farms the enemy champ, take w first with urgot, and q first with tahm, let tahm farm till level 3 while urgot uses his shield and slow to zone making sure the enemy has a hard time farming, this will not only nurf but confuse the enemy. And since urgot will have no issues farming and can sustain is bot lane for a minute with just a dorians shield. In this scenario you want to build tahm as an ap dps health tank so he can take out turrets while your tanky Urgot that has focus on burst damage, and has the trinity force, bloodthirster, and wit's end... along with some armor or mr items take the turret shots so you dont need your own minion waves to take towers... assuming your team doesnt ff you should win all lanes easily with bery little opposition..
this is just 1 example of a bot lane duo..outside of the traditional meta that works
