Lol so true.

And even then...you have team mates stating ( ward baron please), as you're maxed out on map wards....

He isn't keeping an eye on underpants, hes about to go throw game by trying to baron with the enemy already there

Not only supports can ward, are you assuming they're only telling the support?

3TWarriorJun 30, 20171 votes

well, usually the supports can't afford to find out because then if they don't, the game probably tilts toward an imminent loss

My favorite is the "ward baron" and then you get 3 man ambushed from the brush and the ? pings start flying. Smh

I hate that because most of my teammates don't even ward and they flame the support for not warding when thanks to them we have 3 wards on the map.

As a support main, this is pretty accurate. You have to do so much at the same time: harass, protect, ward, watch the map, keep the enemies from getting vision, roam at the right time and most importantly: trying to guess what your ADC is thinking. No seriously, if he engages and you dont follow he'll die, same if you engage and he just wants to farm. It's actually why I love playing support. You never get bored since you're always busy. Not having to farm is just an added bonus. I really don't get why people don't like to support, it's a lot of fun.

you should probably like jungling then as well. The farming is almost AFK as long as you have your route and rotation down, but you have to guess the thought of 3 lanes and plot out towers, vison, and dragons too. It's map wide baby sitting from level 2.

This would've been way funnier if u just reused the first image for both...

3TWarriorJun 29, 20171 votes

it would have been funnier if the second time had the gif playing at like 5x speed XD

though it wouldn't have been accurate and might upset many people

so this way is better

3TWarriorJun 29, 20172 votes

it's actually quite funny how much micromanaging supports do, and that's WHILE they're busy saving you and dealing 60% of early game damage or more XD

even with mobi boots I can't be everywhere fast enough to stop dumbass teammates but when I get someone who knows what he's doing. HOO BOY homer mode.

the biggest probelme i have playing support nowadays is that you are trying to destroy some wards and of course put yours ... and your team seems to never understand that teamfighthing for keeping vision in the mapo is actualy the first reason you want to fight for.. since its gonna help you so much for objectives like towers dragon etc... the heck even help you to set up traps in the enemy jungle for exemple ... but all i do is get matched with brainded laners i mean all they think they can do is stay in thier lane for ever and ever .. and at some point near 13 minutes 90% of my games become an ARAM so some reason... well well ranked.. matchmaking well well.... what a serious competition i mean ... which team got the most retarded kids lose .. its that simple, there is no such thing as competition in league.

I recently had an enemy support tell me that vision was for tryhard "pro wannabes". They asked "lol, why does everyone try to be all pro in bronze normals". I was so sad. IIRC they placed ~5-6 wards to my 30+? Yeah. We won. >.>
