Dear Toxic AD Carry Main

CST Resonance·2/23/2015, 4:38:53 AM·88 votes·7,733 views

Dear, Toxic AD Carry Main

I am your support. I am a support main. This is not my first time playing my role or my champion. My job description:

1.) Keep you alive 2.) Ward 3.) Harass and try to prevent the enemy AD Carry from farming 4.) Securing kills

All in that order.

Verbally abusing me for dying saving you, or dying trying to do so isn't going to make me want to support you any better, and will 9 times out of 10 make me preform worse. Whenever you get caught out, go in melee mode during teamfights, or go in when I am clearly out of mana, you're on your own. If you die, that is your fault, not mine. I'll try my best to save you when you're saveable, but I'm not going to dive right on in trying to save you because you ran into unwarded areas and their entire team gangrapes you.

If you do continue to excessively be toxic, I will leave you alone in lane. Since you're clearly Faker, I'm going to support top lane. You don't need my cc, wards, shields, or empowered autos. I will not subject myself to helping you out when you're being a complete douchebag to me.

I'm a support main. I'm a player too.

I don't main support, but when I do play support I always get "that" ADC. The 120% pro certified, never made a mistake in their life and will continue their perfection in every game, "why didn't you dive that turret at level 1 for the ADC with me rather than focusing the support coming out from the river", don't touch my minions for any reason ADC. Gotta love those ADC's!

Clarity: I'm not saying all ADC's are douchebags or that all supports are great. I'm just saying that the person playing support is usually doing the best to their ability for what little gold they have and receiving very little praise for what they do. If the ADC does good it's more than likely that the support played their role in it, just as if the duo lane does poorly the ADC assisted in that failure. Duo lanes are tough, especially without voice chat of some sort. Using the support as a scapegoat for everything that goes wrong isn't going to inspire that person to play better, more times than not they will do worse.

This is just pointless circlejerk. For every one of those idiot carries you have their wardless, out of position feedign constantly braindead support. Sorry you had a bad player on your team, but let me give you a hint, he wasn't a douceh because he was a carry, or a jungler or anything else, he was a douche because (drum rolls) He is a douche!.

Imagine that.

As a previous ADC main (Now transferring to support/jungle.) I can admit that I thought I was a lot better then I actually am, and learning jungle/support was a lot harder then becoming an ADC main in the first place.

Props to the people who were able to manage my douche bag attitude, I am glad I left ADC, since I became a better person in general.

So to all ADC mains out there, you are not THAT good. Now this doesn't apply to all, ADCs in challenger are there because they know about positioning and know how to deal with a bad support and KNOW that when ever they die its THERE fault. So to all ADCs that keep complaining, give me a favor and shut up. You're the most stuck up kind of person in the game.

On behalf of all the nicer ADC mains, I'd like to apologize for all the rude ADCs you may get.

Whenever I play ADC I make a point of it to always call out the support for anything they do right, and always give them a "gj" if they helped me get a kill in any way shape or form. While some supports may not be playing as well, giving them a bit of verbal support goes a long way towards improving both their performance and your own. If you say your support is doing a good job then you'll be far more likely to look to your own mistakes when you die rather than your supports thanks to the psychological effect. Likewise if you praise your support they'll be more likely to play well due to wanting to please you for continued praise.

ADCs are more likely to flame due to their high damage output and carry potential making them feel as though they're gods. But the support is the chariot for the ADC to ride into battle on, and with a broken wheel you can't do anything.

So sorry to all supports who get a toxic ADC. Have a cookie as consolation. And to any ADCs who read this: Give your support the praise they need to carry you, so you can carry them. You get the gold from the CS and kills, that's how you get fed. Your support gets fed off of your praise and your teammates praise. So remember to feed your support, so they can feed you.

The best part is 30 Minutes into the game when the ADC and sometimes even other lanes are like "I'm carrying so hard, but this bad support won't stop dieing." and you just have to accept that they will never understand how bot lane works.

I've realized that supports are invisible, when we get that kill on the enemy ADC its not because I landed a hook and flay, its because my ADC is really fast and he caught up and the enemy ADC was stunned from how amazing he is.

And my ADC always saves himself, lanterns don't just happen to always be there. they just No-Clip through the terrain for a last second escape on their own. And once the support gets their ADC fed its like they get all cocky and too good for anyone else and don't realize that ADC for one do not feed themselves and second they are supposed to carry.

Every person in the game should help in stopping another person from being harassed. I had a ranked game where a Rengar was under performing for the whole time, and our Vayne was constantly criticizing him, then 30 minutes into the game she wrote "Why are you playing Ranked Rengar you are so bad wtf uninstall" then I replied by saying "If you say something like that one more time, then you are getting reported for harass" my teammates backed me up with this. The Vayne was quiet for the rest of the game, and our Rengar started playing better so we won a close game. If no one stopped the abuse we surely would have lost the game.

I know the Feel. A lot of ADC act like they do all the work, but they are the child. We are the parent. We walk em step by step till they are ready to take on the world. Our only thanks is the blames of neglect, not giving enough, and more need from us. All a parent would at least like is to be thanked and appreciated.

But, I get that crap too XD If you do good in support its "ADC so pro gj" your do bad"omg like my support sucks""no wards support...!@#$ing nub""OMG MY SUPPORT DID NOTHING". Sucks to be Wiegie, but not all the time.

This is why I pick Galio for my times I support, when I get my ult I can lockdown everybody so that the guys on my team who might not be having a good game have a chance to make a comeback from a terrible laning phase. Also for those who are wondering if Galio ultimate works on people who TP in it does, screw up any TP with Galio's ult and save your team strife from a douche who just TP'ed in from top lane

As an ADC main I respect this when ever I play other roles the ADC is hella salty and so annoying thanks for this hopefully this will hit an ad carry some where.

I feel this so much, as I play Braum as my main support. I will eat whatever their bot lane throws at you, as long as you Stand Behind Me. I will sacrifice my own HP in order to protect our tower from minions. I will buy Relic Shield and use it to secure those cannon minions. I will ward river and jungle to protect us from ganks. I will follow you around the map to take whatever objective you desire. Hell, I'll even tank Dragon if you can put out the dps to kill it. However, if you have the audacity to flame me... ...after we get ganked by their jungle and mid and I burn my ult, q, w, e, item actives, summoner 3, and I summoner 4 onto the enemy ADC to proc my passive and stun them to keep them from getting into AA range, and die doing so to save your stupid ass, then don't expect me to do that again. ...or, if you dived all five members of the enemy team at half health and low mana, and yell at my retreating, 400 HP self to help you, then let me just explain to you that no amount of mustache could have made up for your stupidity in that situation.

As someone who mains both roles, most games = support actually sucks

I feel like Support has evolved into this kind of "Sacred Cow" where nobody can talk shyt about Support because they're such team players who are always trying the best they can!

The responsibility for bot lane's success is like 70% support early game. The biggest support mistakes I see all the time are:

  • "I'ma pick whoever the fuck I want because I'm just a support ward-bot and can't be countered." -Picks Sona into Leona/Graves-
  • Not synergizing picks whatsoever. "Lel I'm just support" - Picks Lux for Graves
  • Dying needlessly. "It'sk I'm just support"
  • Backing at weird ass times, leaving the ADC 1v2
  • Roaming at weird ass times, leaving the ADC 1v2
  • Warding/clearing wards at weird ass times, leaving the ADC 1v2
  • Picking bad fights. Ya minion wave is gigantic, but I'ma go ahead and harass anyway! 5 seconds later -"damn I can't believe Vayne didn't follow up"
  • Positioning in a way that provides 0 lane pressure whatsoever
  • Screwing up all the CS that's about to be under tower for no reason. InB4 "omg I can't believe this ADC only has 80 farm at 15 minutes"
  • Allowing the enemy bot lane to fast push lvl 2

oh GOd please let me meet a support main so I am able to better myself in the fields of justice!!! I promise never to yell at them for any of my mistakes and make sure to capitalize on all of their hard work... I will make sure to never miss out on a sure fire assist for them, because you know they need that gold!!

on a side note, I always get stuck with the support-who-wanted-to-adc-but-couldn't-because-he-was-last-pick.....so the whole time they are just /all chatting away how bad I am the entire game and how its ALL my fault for the loss...

As a person who has basically ended up being an ADC main, I hate other ADC mains. The second I see the support die without them I just know that poor support is going to receive a torrent of abuse, it's pathetic.

I just don't understand how these wastes of space lack so much empathy, especially when nine times out of ten they're even worse than the support they're berating. Supports by their very design usually can't fight back, oftentimes lack reliable escapes, and, most importantly, the players behind them are human, they make mistakes, big deal, everyone does.

Then again that's just the problem with this entire game, it just becomes more apparent with ADC mains because they're paired with someone else from the second the game begins, and so are almost always the first to rage.

Love how the adc mains that do this decided to comment on this. Funny how support mains are blamed for the adc's mistakes just because the adc is garbage. The most frustrating thing as a support is having an adc that won't let you do your job as support like warding. A support puts their neck on the line to ward for the team and risks getting gang-raped by the entire enemy team by doing so. If the adc won't let you do your job, you can go to a lane where they will let you. Top is the best place for a support if the adc is harassing you and blaming you for their own mistakes. Top appreciates the help on his "island" and is less likely to harass you for being oom or for his own mistakes than the adc that supposedly is sharing the lane with you. It also leaves the jung less lanes to gank, since the support top will throw off the entire team and the jungle is free to camp mid and bot while top crushes everything. Good going CST Resonance. You sound like you'd be a great support and I hope to see you in my future games.

P.S. I don't rage at my supps as adc. They get almost nothing but praise from me (the other stuff being questions and friendly talking). I know how hard it is to support adcs who do this. Always best to remove yourself from the equation at bot and help other lanes in this case.

warpenguin5552/23/2015, 7:07:05 PM2 votes

upvoted because even when i get mad at a support if they are prioritizing keeping me alive and they say it, ill feel like a dick and apologize. Some supports need to learn how to follow this though. I once had a Leona run off at least 2-3 times to ward while the wave was pushed to our tower in a ranked game. She then asked "jinx, why pick ADC if you cant farm, noob". Almost raged at her, and i rarely rage at supports.

ok enough with the venting, im sure i just got a bad apple from the bunch. You guys who can play support keep up the good work, i respect you for being able to play it.

What about the toxic jungler who flames at the adc because he is losing lane and asking for assistance because he (the jungler) is not level 6 yet

Hope that makes sense

Mimy2/23/2015, 11:31:11 PM2 votes

Ever get a salty support?

o.O those... are scary..

Its like anivia putting a wall near the turret and me being in the middle of the wall and the enemy laners.. a big full scaled wall.. and the enemy laners are a jinx and blitzcrank..

Ya especially the filthy Lucian, Ezreal mains (it's weird I work well with Vayne mains lol). Pushes the wave too far out and says "fucking nami roam more and i feed more". Too bad I'm supporting my 8/2/5 mid lane Swain now than you piece of 2/4/1 shit, Lucian. I peel for the most fed teammate and if I don't peel for you you're probably useless, sorry to burst your bubble man. And I know support mains are stereotypically nice people but I'm sorry I main ADC too so I have a mixture of toxic in my niceness. 8)

Oh and also ADC mains (including myself maybe) PLS let me use my targons Ty. ESPECIALLY ON THE CANNONS OMG

I'm a support main, and I let those players die. Because they're bad, and I can carry harder than them. (I feel you, hang in there!)

Celeste Benal2/23/2015, 5:55:43 PM2 votes

I've had some supports that were just completely incompetent. No wards, no armor, just jumping into the enemy team with no sense of what they were doing or the lane situation. If I have to remind my supp to buy wards... its usually gg. Had one that literally did not buy a single ward or sightstone until 27 minutes in. I've also had supports that were just gods among men.

As a support, it goes the same for ADCs. Maybe they're only good with one ADC and it gets banned. Or maybe they just keep over extending. Or maybe the other laners are just better.

Raptamei2/24/2015, 5:11:27 PM1 votes

Dear support,

You have duties too. They are the following:

  • Harrass and poke. Your adc is trying to last hit. If you don't poke, the enemies can and will go all in because the odds are highly in their favour.
  • Ward the bush when your adc is getting zoned by an enemy in it.
  • Ward the river when your lane pushes past the river.
  • Ward. Recognise that the adc may have a trinket, but it's only good for one ward. No, the adc shouldn't be buying wards in lane.
  • Ping when you go in, don't just yoloswag into the enemy and QQ when your adc is standing there in shocked surprise while you die instantly.
  • Buy a motherfucking sightstone instead of AP.
  • Not go oom within 3 minutes and proceed to bail on the adc. He can't farm when you're away, so that's about 15 cs he's not getting because you decided Janna Q is an awesome poke spell.
  • Not shitpick. Yes, you hate support and were forced into it because you were last pick. That does not justify Syndra support because it's not your adc's fault and you're making him suffer and will probably whine that his cs is worse.
  • Kalista's been popular for quite a while. You should know how her ult works. If you go in the opposite direction and Kalista dies, it's your fault.

Disclaimer: I main jungle and the support is largely responsible for winning or losing bot lane.
