Open letter from your friendly neighborhood Soraka

SecretAgentHulk··105 votes·5,055 views

Dear Varus,

If I have 4 kills, all of them with my 60 AD auto attack, and you have 5, all of them with your 120 AD auto attack or any of your AD-scaling spells, please don't flame me for killstealing. You are still getting fed, and I got my Sightstone at 5:00, which led to better warding, which meant you got a few double kills when we were ganked. I ultimately built a Rabadon's with that extra gold. It was OK.

Thanks, Soraka

Every single time I see an ADC act like this to their support I offer the support a nice spot in top lane with me. We then usually take both outer top towers and start roaming as an unstoppable duo, all while the ADC is feeding and bitching in the bot lane.

When I play support and my ADC QQs about "muh KS" "muh shit support," I offer to support mid/top/jungle. I don't care if he starts feeding. A whining ADC even if fed will not be able to "carry" anyways. I'm pretty much a mean support because I usually peel for my top/mid laner than my ADC (or I don't give lantern, don't mikael's them at all) when that happens.

Haha so true. Whenever I support and my adc starts raging then I give him a notice saying if he flames again, I'm going to another lane. They never believe me.......

Saying that, I main adc and never blame my support and when they accidentally get a kill and apologize I tell them it's no biggie, it was a kill secured.

Holy toxic bananas I'm forever doing that when I'm Wuo Wuo Kong or Signed up top and we have a whining ADC. Honestly I have the most respect for people who main support because they have to put up with some shit.

I remember playing as Leona with a Graves and he called we shit because I got First Blood instead of him. He continued berating me at every opportunity, even complaining when my E initiate took ONE cs. Meanwhile, our top lane Twitch is (obviously) getting destroyed by Irelia, so I decide to go support Twitch instead.

Graves proceed to feed the whole game while Twitch and I carry and we win the game.

So. Fucking. Satisfying.

thank you for the idea kind sir!

I'm the same with mid lane, though as I usually support when I am not mid, I just offer my services elsewhere.

It's always so satisfying to hear that ADC start crying because they suddenly are in a 1v2 lane because they abused the only friend they got early game.

Had my ADC scream at me for KSing when he wasn't even in the lane. That one had me sitting there and scratching my head.

I had an ADC yelling at me for killing enemies and CS while he was dead.

does anybody ever have those matches as support where you accidentally take literally every single kill from your adc? its especially difficult to control on thresh.

"oh, my adc is low, I should help him secure this kill faster!"

you have slain an enemy

"oh...oh well, its just one right?"

LEGENDARY!

I accidentally did this to a draven once.. i got 5 kills before he died and his stacks died with him

I Main Swain5 votes

it ALWAYS seems to be with draven and thresh! why is that? ive been on both sides and that's always what it's been.

CONTHPIRATHY!

Partholonian5 votes

Thresh does more damage than anyone suspects, even Thresh players. I think it's the soul scaling -- even when he's not building damage, he's gaining damage as the game goes on.

And Draven is kinda weak until he cashes in his passive and starts snowballing. It's one thing I really hate about him -- playing like a selfish glory hound is actually built into his kit and he actually gets weaker when his teammates are getting the kills and he's only getting farm and assists. Any other marksman will be doing just fine in that situation (although some are too stupid to realize it, of course).

It's kind of awesome game design how well that aspect of his mechanics fit into his personality and style, but it can make him a real SOB to have on your team. (Just like someone with his personality actually would be in real life.)

I did this with Zilean once. They couldn't kill me or my adc. Ever.

It's the best feeling when they try to tower dive.

Its also fun when your heal bounce as Nami off of your ADC is both what saved your ADC from getting killed... and finished off the opponent in the same cast.

SecretAgentHulk9 votes

Whereas if you don't cast it:

RandomDipshit [Ezreal]: ANMI RandomDipshit [Ezreal]: Y U DON"T HEAL Kynami [Nami]: ... [All] RandomDipshit [Ezreal]: report nami

I had this exact same thing happen to me before. ADC wouldn't stop bitching at me.

Dear ADCs

When I rush a item 3504 and maybe get a item 3089 its not me being a Ap carry, its me being a support who now heals twice as much as before. Your welcome.

Ps. Thank your Janna's when they get item 3089 , they are now faster and give you more attack damage on their shields.

When I'm Reaper Soraka I'm bound to kill secure (that's right, SECURE not STEAL) at some point...besides none of us exactly have a whole lot of control of our 2.5 mph Death Banana managing to last hit the enemy champion at 15 health...or when we have to Celestial-Smack an enemy with our Q just to make sure we survive the fight and don't get yelled at for "feeding".

Once had an adc go nuts because I got the last hit on a tower and supports shouldn't be stealing towers.

was unexpected

SecretAgentHulk8 votes

Wat.

Hyrum Graff10 votes

If an adc yells at me for accidentally KSing:

"Sorry. Here, I'll buy two more wards, so you can buy two less, and the gold will be evened out, as if you got the kill."


inb4 "But the adc wasn't buying wards to begin with." < - The point

Sir ArmaMalum7 votes

Funny thing is, it's actually better for the support to get the first kill or two, because a faster sightstone and Gold income item means reliably higher overall team gold. Does that mean the adc has to wait a bit longer for his B.F. sword? Sure. But that means he has a safer lane!

Spacesuit Spiff4 votes

If the adc is gonna just passive farm, sure. But if they actually use that BFS, that damage is more impactful than a SS or a gold item.

DMouseslayer7 votes

I once had an Ashe leave because I got first blood as Leona. The enemy was like, almost in tower range so I E'd and Q'd and got the kill about half a second before Ashe flashed. He raged and quit. Luckily though we ended up winning. Leona ADC OP.

I also hate when it's mid game and I'm in the front lines tanking it up and stunning and absorbing damage and skill shots and locking people down and I pick up kills because of it and my team complains. If you get out damaged by full tank support Leona you don't deserve the kill. I actually did out damage a top lane Yasao as Leona too. Like, damage to champions at end of game, me having more damage than him :/

Not enough support love u.u

Protonic5 votes

Hmm, as a support this comes up interestingly.

Though, usually when people support me instead, they apologize after every kill and make funny faces about something "bad" they did.

And I'm just there like, they're dead aren't they? ....Yes. Then Mission Successful!

I was playing soraka with my friend as a ADC. I got a kill before him and he shouted at me for KSing and being fed. That was the only kill I got in that game and later he was still angry at me for stealing his kill.

OperationDEEZ13 votes

Because all supports are angels... There's a reason I don't ADC in ranked, but to be fair it's a double sided coin. I just avoid bot lane in general.

SecretAgentHulk5 votes

Not all supports are angels, but what I highlighted is still pretty stupid. It's not an either-or thing.

(Also, the mentality is different enough that I'd posit that support mains are in general better than ADC mains--though of course it's different if you just get last-picked into either role. You have on the one hand someone dedicating their League time to relentlessly murdering the enemy, and on the other someone dedicating their time to helping out that guy. I'd put my money on the helper to be nicer.)

Saixos9 votes

As an ADC main, my philosophy is no matter what happens or what the situation is, if I get a kill and my support helped in any way shape or form he/she gets a gj. It's just general politeness >.

Partholonian3 votes

Relentlessly murdering the enemy sounds more like an assassin, though. The things marksmen are really good at more than any other class are blowing up buildings (almost every objective is a building) and dealing consistent damage that isn't CD or resource limited so you can keep it up for a long time. And that long term consistent damage will lose to burst in a 1v1.

RogueWill3 votes

How do you manage to get a kill with soraka? lol

I'm actually really surprised you were able to last hit the enemies, the bananas are hella slow.

freeformline6 votes

Slow bananas are actually a fairly common cause of Soraka kill stealing, since your target's health can easily drop from 500 to 5 in the time it takes your banana to get to them. You think it's safe to auto attack someone, but your ADC melts them so fast that what you intended as harassment winds up being the last hit.

RogueWill5 votes

I guess I never though of it that way. Anyway, when I adc and my supports get the kills with an aa I always assume is my fault. They normally have close to no ad afterall, it's actually harder to ks on purpose than on a mistake.

Maria the Fox3 votes

I accidentaly secure kills with Sonas Hymn of Valor + Power Chord, then again, I'm just pressing buttons as Sona

Sinlaire2 votes

Among my favorites are getting a kill with the nami buble when you're just trying to CC. Or when your shield blows up as Leona and you're running AWAY but it still kills them.

Some supportws still need to be carefull though. I had a Blitzcrank claim he was trying out a new build about 3 games ago for me and wound up being 5/1/1 to our ADC Tristana at 1/1/5. They were crushing botlane so i didnt want to step in as a JG and tell the blitz to let the carry get the kills because i essentially got the freedom to leave bot alone all game and watch top and mid while i farmed. We still won but trist was pretty weak until the rest of the team being fed allowed her to secure kills.

SecretAgentHulk6 votes

Definitely. And I felt bad getting those kills instead of Varus, but on the other hand I had no bonus AD, on one of the four kills Varus also got a double, and on two of the others I kill the enemy to save his life. And he still had more kills than I did (and I ended up going 4/5/22).

Intentional ks is bad, but you should know the difference between intentional and unintentional, is my point.

Magma Lux Mid8 votes

Unless you flash for a kill when I am in auto range and they are at 1 HP, I don't care if someone else gets a kill. I get all the farm while they are sitting there doing all the work on keeping me alive and poking down the enemy.

I've also had supports steal red buff as I was doing it (I've done it myself more than I want to admit), but I don't rage at them. I know they were just trying to help a little bit.

Kaijeo2 votes

Ah, I've had experiences like this — in fact, it was only today that I found a rather... special ADC.

Me: basic attacks a full health minion and proceeds to move away so Ezreal can kill it quicker and get the CS Ezreal: STOP DOING THATT Me: does it again, on a different minion Ezreal: SUP SUQ

I ended up muting the guy because he was bitching most of the game. The first time I died he said, "SO STUPID" and "SUP SUQ".

rampaging poet3 votes

That might be a legitimate complaint if he didn't want to push the lane, but if that's what he wanted he should have actually said so instead of just yelling at you.

I'll turn off autoattacking and allow us to lose every trade OR I keep autoattacking, they die, we take turret, and we're way ahead. I'll go with option 2 and let you keep crying everytime.
