PSA to all "support mains"

Scrimshäw·Mar 27, 2015·1 votes·389 views

if you're ANY support, i don't give a shit which champ- you need to be in the enemy adc's face, you're useless and you're not doing your job if you're not annoying the crap out of them. YOU NEED TO BE MAKING THEIR LANING EXPERIENCE A LIVING HELL, you need to be auto attacking, harassing with skills, whatever the fuck you have to do, keep them away from their minions, and when you set up a kill with hard CC, for god's sake keep an eye on the minion wave, there's absolutely no reason to take 450 damage from minions at level 2.

lemme guess, the adc NEVER has to autoattack the enemy champions unless to last hit? 'Cause I'm getting that vibe.

Decent advice, if lathered with attitude. At least you didn't go "don't take muh cs and kills" like a lot of adc mains, unfortunately, do... :(

this was a message to supports, if i made a message to adcs, it would probably be something along the line of "if you're waiting to fucking last hit, why waste time when you can be harassing the enemy laners"

I get you're trying to send a message, but what's with all the aggression? People tend to follow advice more when it's delivered tactfully, not when it comes off as borderline offensive (it really does).

because there's no way i'm the only person who plays this game to try and tell teammates how to improve their mechanics, I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, so i'm upset because they don't listen to the people they've played with before. i play with fucking diamonds and plats half the time, and they're worse than most of the silvers i've met.

what's the point of this post then if nobody's going to take heed of it?

Catharsis?

people tend to remember things when they stand out, even if it's abusive, i remember playing singed when i was relatively new, and rushed a tear, and someone harassed me for building it, and to this day i don't build tear on singed anymore and it has worked out in my favor every time.

but posting on a public board in a highly aggressive manner makes people completely disregard your advice. I see what you're doing, and you're telling me, but I'm trying to tell you that you're not going to get the results you want this way.

I typically play leona and then just sit in the bush until I see a good opportunity to engage. No real reason to just take poke if I don't get anything in return, so I wait until they make a mistake. And let me tell you, THEY WILL ALWAYS make a mistake. It's just a matter of time.

the difference between leona and other supports:

if leona lands a skill, someone is going to die

And that makes you an awful support. You need to be SUPPORTING your ADC, helping them get minions, harassing the enemy, warding. Do SOMETHING, don't just sit there.

I am doing something. The moment the enemy steps in range and my adc is reasonably close by that enemy dies.

with that attitude, who would wanna be your support? Pfft I'd go help top or mid if I was stuck being support with you adc. Ask me nicely and then I'll poke/die for your sins
