Any ADC losing the game is automatically the Supports fault!

So just wanted to put this out... Bronze division here, Nami support main (it's the only role I play I just don't play ranked often, secondary ADC which is about 1/50 games).

Just had a game alongside Ezreal. I got him first blood with aqua prison, and his second, third, fourth and fifth kill. He then started to lose and complained it was all my fault. Said I can't ward (33 wards + 6 control wards in 39 minutes) while was lowest on the team at 8 wards, 0 control. He ended the game with nearly 2k gold, and kept pushing a lane alone (against Yasuo, Draven and Jax) but of course it was my fault he was losing. I had 64%KP vs his 56%, but again - my fault he was losing.

Then I decided to look at his runes... mostly tier 2 runes (no big deal there I think but tier 3 helps a lot more) and saw this for his stats: 7.7AP, 3.37 Magic Pen, 0.05 MR/level, 2% AS, .2% CDR, 0.08 AD/lvl, .1 Mana/5s, 1.17 Mana/lvl, 0.03 Health/5s, 0.97AP/lvl and not even a filled rune page. Running warlords, on a champion he has a whopping 5 games with, and no mastery level. While I'm sitting at level 6 Nami with 2 tokens (just need that 3rd S/S+, I keep getting S-)

But of course, it's all my fault. Not his choices to run Ezreal solo with no vision. Not his choice to not ward, and certainly not his choices to act like we are playing bots, it was my fault, I admit it.

I know I didn't play perfect, I know I belong at low ELO (I climb when I play more often, 62.5% winrate on Nami ranked) but I also know that bad players love blaming everybody but themselves. Nothing important here, just wanted to get it out and laugh some at the fact he had no idea what he was doing yet it was still entirely my fault.

At low elo people seem to like to pass blame. A supports job is not to baby sit an adc. Usually if I get my adc ahead I will start to roam and see if I can gank mid lane or invade with jungler, but the coordination just does not exist at your elo.

I like nami. She is a strong aggressive support especially early game and becomes more passive as the game goes on, but she may not be the best support if you are looking to climb unless you are duo q with adc. I was stuck in silver myself for awhile until I switched to carry supports like Zilean, Zyra and Brand. I just like to be able to carry a game if need be instead of watching my team feed over kills to hyper carries and make me irrelevant. In bronze or silver I would suggest avoiding passive supports.

You may be able to make nami work still as I can see you have over 60% win rate with her, but avoid the soraka imo. You drop too many games with her.

Sadly, this tends to be the life of a support main in low elo. Just mute the flamers, keep your head high, and keep doin your job. Ignore the little pests :D
