When you try to explain that you're a support, not a babysitter, and can help the rest of the team out if the ADC doesn't need you.

And then they refuse to buy wards.

Even if you can ward for free with the yellow trinket, it is the principle of the matter. Warding is the supports job.

Warding is EVERYONES job got 75 g when you're leaving base? buy a ward. no space to buy wards? sell that dorans get some wards. Wards win games.

Rip free vision season 6

UltraboomerNov 10, 20152 votes

you know, you say this and yet vision actually gets even more free in season 6. you lose your free pink wards I'll give you that much, but your yellow trinket always has the charge up function like the current greater totems do. and the new farsight orb thing's wards are infinite duration and have no cap. also, I am aware all stealth wards are being reduced from 180 to 150 duration.

Apparently i misinterpreted the changes. i missed the part where the standard trinket upgrades automatically at the appropriate level, however vision will still be shite until then since sightstone is the only way to get proper vision coverage before then. The vision game has changed but probably for the better. i will still miss the free pink wards.

UltraboomerNov 10, 20151 votes

yeah, that's what saddens me the most about this. pink wards may become only 75 gold, but right now you n pay 250 for unlimited ones. I think there should be a pink totem alteration.

Warding is the supports job

So that's why supports have income items.

Fishy my man...i love you dog, but you are headed down a very dark path thinking that vision is a support only mechanic. Lets get together tonight and we will play a drinking game. Every time this guy says ward or de-ward you have to take a shot of 80+ proof liquor or choice.

when we are done, i hope you feel like it is also your duty to ward that shit up...cuz it is, and it can de-bronze us all if we embrace it.

He's most likely joking. I remember him saying something along the lines of "refusing to use Kappa or /s at the end of the sentence"

Of course there will be a guy bashing on adc and of course he will get upvoted.

IcyPepperNov 9, 20152 votes

It's just a joke about dependency based on Laughing Fish's OP, not ADC bashing.

ADCs and supports have a love/hate relationship, for every heartwarming joke about the two, there's an equally cynical one.

I only see a hate adcs relationship nowadays, like the support can't make mistakes and how it's always the adcs fault for him feeding and not warding as an example.

IcyPepperNov 9, 20151 votes

Well, to be fair, ADC is the role that statistically wards the least.

I mean, sightstone is supposed to be a warding tool for the support to operate on a lower income. I mean, yeah you want your expensive ADC items, but we're not there to ward for you. Supports are supposed to do their part, and the ADC is supposed to do their's. Which is honestly hard to do if people think ADC+Support as a unit instead of two players out of five, and the support is naturally inclined to ward for the ADC.

As for the others, yeah supports make mistakes and they feed too. Just the other day I was borderline feeding with Braum against a Thresh, which is supposed to be a field day. Would have been nice if my ADC had put down more than 7 wards, or my previous game where Miss Fortune put down 8 wards to my 33.

A lot of things are subjective, but ADC warding habits is probably the least offensive and most frustrating one of all because it's partially our fault. Did that make sense? If I could blame it on blue trinket, I would, but this is people who don't even use their free green wards that recharge. For a class that often cites their items for why they don't buy wards, it's a mystery why they squander something they get for free.

tl;dr: keep a pink in your jungle and buy a vision ward or two every ten minutes I guess. Buy upgraded blue on ADC, shit's OP when it comes to avoiding ganks if the support is roaming or warding objectives (which they should be warding, not just bot lane. Jungler ought to be helping too).

damn, am i the only silver 5 almost bronze to buy ward as adc on first back?

once a Sona said something like "what you bought a ward? are you doing my job for me?"

considering that sona only talks to her summoner...Puns of damage...i'll take my leave

IcyPepperNov 9, 20152 votes

Nope. Got Silver 4 because I specifically played ADC since I knew that's the role that wards the least, and then I warded.

With that crutch removed, games got a little easier. Stopped after placements, tho.

The EcdysiastNov 10, 20151 votes

Isn't there a role for that, called the jungler?

IcyPepperNov 10, 20151 votes

Are you telling me that top and mid laners never leave their lanes to assist in ganks?

The support isn't tied down to the ADC, you know. They can help the jungler out, and laners, and ward places beyond the river bush.

I'm not talking about leaving lane at level 3, I'm talking more like when the ADC is at the point they should be somewhat independent and no longer need you. Ganking top or mid lane as a support is a viable option, and the ADC doesn't need to follow you.

The EcdysiastNov 10, 20151 votes

I'm telling you that there's already supposed to be a guy helping top and mid. There's nothing wrong with roaming when your ADC is safe.

The issue comes when the adc is behind or the enemy has a very strong ability to tower-dive.

IcyPepperNov 10, 20151 votes

Well yeah. I got confused, because there are people who honestly (and I'm not joking here) believe the support is basically the ADC's warding bitch.

Well, keep in mind that in theory the ADC is the hugest investment in the team when it comes to taking objectives. Zed doesn't need help assassinating a squishy if he's doing his job right, but an ADC is always at risk when trying to secure an objective.

A support supports their team, and if their highest scaling member is suffering, there's only a few cases where you would abandon them and honestly that's the shittiest feeling in the world when you do it. So, uh, yeah you're right.

Well,since lately I have the honor of having a Garen who doesn't know what a relic shield is "support" me one TOO MANY TIMES,having an ACTUAL support just leave even though I always upgrade my trinket ,ward myself(especially dragon at 8:00) and NEVER insult them,this would be the frosting on the rotten cake that is my luck as an adc.
