I'm expected to be like a bloody trophy wife with a stepford smile every game :l

I won't deny that supports are often treated like 2nd class champions, but everyone position in league has toxic people, but toxic supports are rare.

The amount of times I've had to spam "GREAT JOB GUYS, KEEP IT UP, YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! :DDDD" ._.

I don't know about you but i find it kind of part of being support to try and have the most upbeat attitude to keep morale going.

OurLestradeApr 24, 20163 votes

Alas, being forced to put it on every game because no one else even tries to gets tiring. I put the Happy McChuckly face on enough at uni because no one else does, let me take a break please :P

KnoyleApr 25, 20161 votes

I mean I honestly only do it when my team are a bunch of toxic anuses.

Without someone that has that attitude, I feel like I would have stopped playing LoL so often. You definitely keep up the moral. As an adc main, I have to say that supports are unsung heroes.

I'm an ex support main, and I was very clear to my teammates that just because I play support, doesn't mean I won't try for an ff when we are 20-0 at 15mins. I'm actually the most negative person I know so...yeah. Support does not mean happy fun loving unicorn. I just enjoyed the role.

From my experience a lot of supports are toxic, for a while I actually refused to play ADC because I kept getting toxic supports.

When your adc tower dives with 100 hp... http://vomzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/in-office-angry-gif.gif

I've seen many supports straight up abandon their adcs after they die like once

Smitty ManjensenApr 24, 20163 votes

Happens a lot, it's just that on the boards they're circlejerking each other so people think they saints.

Jet SettApr 24, 20162 votes

I know, but the very word "support" insinuates that your job is to help others to do their job better, so even though supports can be toxic it is usually more reliant on unreasonable dissatisfaction with a teammate rather than general toxicity. It is also extremely counter-intuitive since a support-esque champ is more geared toward utility than damage, but that doesn't stop everyone.

I'm not toxic but when I support, I let the ADC know I'm no pushover.

Good, nobody is anyone's bitch in this game. We're all entitled to a degree of respect in this community and I hope someday topics like this just seem like ridiculousy made up scenarios.

AninLegions777Apr 25, 20162 votes

Hope so too. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

A strange situation indeed.

i'm hardly ever toxic, but when i get a sona adc i tend to get upset and go support another lane... cus a few times.... then get reported, but it's only every once in a great while that i get upset.

Jet SettApr 24, 20161 votes

It is quite a rare occurence, but the few times I've seen it it was 2 times a Thresh, once a Braum. Very unpleasant games, but we still won.

RabblerouserApr 24, 20166 votes

A toxic Braum? That's a rare sight for me. His personality just makes me want to be memey and silly. It's actually helped my team anti-tilt in randoms before, my silly Braum personality leading my team in post-game chat to say my positivity was their secret weapon.

I did have a near tilt game when we had a Vayne jungle. And.. yeah... you can tell why I was tilt. Hint. It wears glasses and whines to no end in solo queue. Vayne

Vayne was angry that I was helping my Azir ADC (APC?) in our lane more than Vayne when Vayne ganked. Azir was actually doing AMAZING in pushing up in lane. Their enemy team didn't know how to deal with it. But the Vayne kept asking to report me for not helping him.

I mean.. I'm a support, right? It's my job to support my carry, right?

Amazingly, the Ekko top anti-tilted me... especially after Azir left the game. ... and then Ekko proceeded to get ALL of the Braum protection he needed. I did help Vayne out, but Ekko was my priority.

So remember, don't irritate a support that might save your skin later... you might just end up lowest on their list of priorities, especially if there's a more positive carry around.

We won that game due to Ekko's positivity, even with Azir d/c.

Solari FortuneApr 24, 20162 votes

This is why i bow to my Support overlords (Lordesses for female supports?) as an ADC I don't want them to leave me

DenavaiApr 25, 20161 votes

Yeah, I get pissed when support leaves lane, but I have to be all nice and tell them I need them to "carry me." I don't get why some supports think it's a good idea to leave when all the kill gold has gone to them and jungle; struggling to keep up in cs....

Is like thanks... Now I can get tower dived and not cs.

Once I got a Morgana who abandoned me bot and went top.

CoolKnightSTApr 24, 20164 votes

Sometimes roaming is actually viable when you have to deal with an 0/4/0 adc. You still won offcourse.

Pandemic PunchApr 24, 20161 votes

Yep

cinomenapplebaeApr 25, 20162 votes

Only the Morgana Thresh Braum are toxic

I have feelings.

And they're very hurt.

Unstoppable MonkApr 24, 20161 votes

"Yo dawg, how do you tell a support from a toxic one?"

Easy, just ask them if they are still stuck in plat.

ajaxeoApr 24, 20161 votes

Sometimes i just ....snap

Bear GauntletsApr 25, 20161 votes

Babysitting someone and being able to watch hell break loose on the rest of the map will do that to a support.

ajaxeoApr 25, 20161 votes

uh huh

XIII VanitasApr 24, 20161 votes

I would have a cheerful attitude, if my marksmen knew how to position themselves when playing with Zyra support... "Oh, I'm Ashe and I'm against Irelia , TwistedFate and Ezreal , let's run towards them!"
