sup guys ya know Ive been thinking alot lately as a adc main why do supports and adcs have such a toxic relationship usually? unless there a duo the 2 end up fighting for a reason or another

I aim to clear the air of the 2 roles since the community seems to be a bit odd painting supports as abused children who can freely complain about adcs and adcs just being jerks and this sorta makes support unfavorable to a few people for fear of being yelled at by a unskilled person that loves raging at the holy support that does no wrong ya love being considered insta toxic just cuz im a marksmen so my support has a i dont gotta help you do nothin mentality

supports: you make or break a marksmen they are nothing without you yes some are jerks yes some will point out your mistakes like its the end of the game if you make one like not warding a bush and sometimes you just have a bad match up with them or the enemy it happens but its not their fault your going all in when there just trying to get farm so dont rage farm is just as important as kills and its your job to NOT get kills so dont try for em its your job to weaken them and the other guy to finish em then if your marksmen says something when your 5-0-1 and there 0-2-6 dont put them down work harder to feed them since they can carry the team its in the role basicly plus your skill is in your assists not kills so if your not peeling so he can kill then consider mid instead of support since you want kills but if it happens it happens point is try not to let it happen and try not to let you or your partner die your their shield you dont damage you protect and try to get them kills

marksmen: stop blaming the support for every mistake you make you want vision spend the 75 gold if the enemy jungler ganks its on you also if the bush wasnt warded pay attention dont tunnel vision if the enemy is almost dead then let em go back and farm dont dive and yell at your support for why didnt you come with in fact never yell at your support unless there killing more than you by around 4 kills and you have less than 3 your support is ment to support you do not be rude in anyway you and your team is nothing without them but especially you remember that they make the plays to get you kills if they make a mistake dont be a jerk about it since your also there in the lane if something happens you both messed up or you both did awsome your partners they are not your slave

thanks for reading i know this wont get much attention but i hope both people bot lane start doing their best and stop fighting with more helpful supports and nicer adcs

Both adc and support need to cover each other.

why do supports and adcs have such a toxic relationship usually

I will tell you the very simple answer why. It is because, in most games, the last pick is forced to support. Most of the time, this person was too fuking unintelligent to practice the support role before starting to play ranked games. They get into lane and do absolutely nothing. Sure, they might buy sightstone, if you're lucky, but they SIT FUKING BEHIND YOU, don't have any lane presence what so ever, and basically force you to 1v2 the lane because, "lolz anything but supp i suk at suppurt".

Sure, both people need to play well. I'm not saying it is always the support's fault for a lost lane, as obviously a shitty Adc can do that. I'm just saying that most of the time it is the supports fault, because you have some moron playing it that didn't want to.

If an adc, or even the whole team wants vision, they can all spend the 250g getting theseitem 3361 item 3362 item 3363 and placing them down where you want vision. I cant ward the whole map AND get vision of the objectives with just 3 wards and a pink.

Also if you're an adc and you get caught out I cant ALWAYS save you. And if i do, and i give my life holding 3 guys back with all my cc so you can run away please don't try to go back in.

But supports, you're not the damage dealers. Your main goal is to keep the opposing laners off your adcs, shield them, heal them, and if you're winning the fight keep the enemy just close enough when they're low so your adc can get the kill. I've seen so many supports act like they can fight, so they end up neglecting their adc because they were so focused on dealing damage.

tl;dr - bot lane is about teamwork, knowing what you can and can not do, and effectively playing your part in the lane.
