Open letter from your friendly neighborhood Soraka

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.

My ADC: "Stop stealing kills" Me: "Stop missing CS"

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Kaijeo2/8/2015, 3:57:47 AM2 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".

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.

Then turn off auto attacking.
