All i see here are supports trying to defend themselves saying the adc must of been stupid or smthg. Rude and unlikable supports exist it isn't some holy sacred role. As i support i myself sometimes get chewed on unnecessarily by my teammates. It doesn't give me the right to act like a special snowflake or anything. Deal with it.

PS: incoming support mains down voting because they think they are entitled to be loved by all.

I'm a support main, and I think I can shed some light on this phenomenon.

Those of us who have been around since Season 3 and prior know how poorly the support players were treated. We were the ADC's slave. We did everything for the ADC. We got abused, we got no credit, and if we accidentally took a kill or even a lowly cs, we got bitched at. And if the wards expired, you bet your ass we heard about it.

Then, suddenly, Season 4 happened. Supports started getting more gold. Not as much as the other roles, but it was a significant increase. Before you knew it, supports were viable members of the team because we could afford better items, items we could only look at longingly while we bought our Kages, Heart of Gold and or Philosopher Stones in previous seasons. And another bit of magic happened - trinkets. ADCs could no longer auto-blame the support if there was no vision. They had no excuse. Supports started making plays, living longer, and doing more damage than ever before.

From here, things took a turn. PSAs were daily about how you should respect your support and be thankful for the person sacrificing the big damage and high kill totals for setting up the team for victory. Supports were beginning to get treated like the Season 3 ADC, and the ADC started getting treated like the Season 3 support.

Supports these days have no idea the struggles we OG supports went through to get us all the respect we deserve. All they know now is that the support is honored and if something goes wrong, it's the ADC's fault. They don't realize that they are doing to ADCs what ADCs used to do to supports.

I, for one, say that we should treat BOTH bot laners with the respect they deserve. Bot lane is arguably the most important lane in the game, and if we don't work together and overcome this "ADC vs support" rolism, then we're going to be losing tower first bloods and infernal drakes all the way to Bronze 5.

Down with rolism! Support an EQUAL bot lane! Blame the mid laner - we all know they're the ones feeding anyway! Kappa

Bad support players now feel entitled because everyone stopped scolding them and Riot's trying to give them special treatment

Quit slacking!

As a support main I can turn the world upside down and hand kills to my carry on a silver platter but when he runs away or continues to farm minions instead of taking the gift ive given him and it GETS ME KILLED. Its pretty god damn annoying.

Support players are just getting frustrated that the support category champs keep getting nerfs. I know I get frustrated with some of the stuff Riot has done to support type champs over the years.
