When i play ADC, i really don't care if the support kills...

Aerothal·12/23/2014, 4:20:33 PM·36 votes·5,042 views

That's all fine and dandy with me, especially if i get an assist.

BUT DON'T TOUCH MY MINIONS.

DON'T "HELP" ME FARM (well, unless we're under tower and you really know what you are doing in preparing for my lasthit - never happens in my elo QQ)

i know this is a low elo problem but please, "SUPPORTS" please leave your ADC's farm alone!

I don't care about kills! take em all! I do care about cs!

edit: i play support more often than ADC.

I'd love to. As long as the ADCs out there do this for me. If I am playing Thresh or Leona or Braum or whomever, and I'm just autoing away at the super minion, one more hit and it'll be low enough to execute, some lovely gold and health for us how wonderf- Caitlyn "Oh look! My passive is up! Better last hit that super minion." Why? Just why? Can you not see the 3 glowing orbs around me? Did you not see me attacking it? Did you not see that you are missing HP and I'm trying to heal you? Did you not see that I had been purposely saving these charges to heal you when you needed it? Did you not see the automatic message at the very start of the game TELLING you that I got a relic shield? Or did you never notice all of the times you suddenly got some gold and health? Please, work with me here ADCs.

What if they have a item 3401 or one of its components (item 3302 etc.)

I feel for you my friend. But in all brightness, once you climb higher, supports actually know better. I've had my fair share of problems with supports attacking minions back in silver, but now i've made to plat, that problem really goes down.

What about pushing for level 2 advantage?

I'll do that, but still watch the minions so that you can still get every last hit.

The Chin12/23/2014, 5:36:23 PM5 votes

Agreed to both. I don't care one bit who gets the kill, as long as they're out of lane it's an advantage for us.

but good god, it's amazing how much it fucks me up when they aa the minions. It messes up my whole csing flow... Not sure why but it's pretty common that I miss 4-5 in a wave when they're "helping"

Okay, so can someone explain to me why some people get all annoyed when say a jungler or support is taking cs when the mid or adc is all the way back in base? They'll be pinging caution! like a billion times.

EDIT: Thank you for the responses. Now I know that people are worried about the wave being pushed when they do that. I mean, I don't normally aa the minions or try to take creeps, it just confused me when I would they pinged caution while they are back at base when all I was doing was last hitting the minions. I wouldn't try to push.

Same, I could end up with 0 kills and not care (unless I am Draven) if we win the game.

Yeah, that's low elo for you. I find adc miserble in every elo where most supports are totally braindead, it does get slightly better in plat.

(Also I'm curious how you reacted a year ago when relic shield came out. I had so many people throwing fits because they didn't know what it did lol).

If your lane is pushed all the time, buy some wards.

So true - it's one thing to auto a minion unintentionally, to proc relic, or under turret (when done properly). The rest of the time it tends to mess with the rhythm.

Budupops12/23/2014, 8:32:43 PM2 votes

True, but 50% of adc can't last hit in low elo anyways

Quort12/23/2014, 10:27:31 PM2 votes

See, I try to help my ADC CS under tower but most don't expect it so I still end up messing up their last hitting anyway! xD

Just came out of a game where Sona spammed her Q on minions and bitches about me being afk until 2:30 saying they are doing my job.

That's a legitimate point, but if you aren't pushing for level 2 and I'm gonna get wrecked by graves leo or something, I will push if you don't. I see diamond ADCs give away the early push because they're too concerned with waiting for each minion to get low to last hit. Same thing if I'm 50g short of Sightstone or something. There are times when both people need to be attacking minions.

Also.... think of it as CS practice ;P If you can beat a really malicious support, you'll get Diamond in no time!

I understand your sentiment, but I disagree to an extent.

  1. If you don't have the AD to last hit that minion that took a turret shot, I'm hitting for you.
  2. If we can go hard at level 2? I'm helping you damage those minions so we get it first.
  3. If we just killed the enemy ADC, we are shoving that lane under turret to deny CS.
  4. If we can deny the enemy ADC CS by shoving the wave hard under turret, I'm helping.
  5. If I'm playing Leona and we are shoving a lane, I'm definitely using W/E to utilize my passive to push.
  6. If I'm playing Blitzcrank and we are shoving a lane, I'm using my ult on those melee creeps.

There are a lot of different instances where a support should "touch" creeps. Just be smart about it.

I'm in between on this. On one hand, when I am a Support, I do what I can to help farm, meaning targeting other minions to bring them down to a low enough point for my ADC to last hit them, before moving to the next one, being sure to never target the ones the minions are hitting. It makes us stronger, faster, and as long as I know (along with my ADC, obviously) when to not push the lane and when to push (Warded jungle? Early game, shove that shit. No ward, no push.) I'll never understand this meta of "don't push the lane. We're totally safe, but god no, don't push." And When I'm ADC, the worst gorram thing to me is when my support sits in the bush and does nothing, only waiting for champs. I hate it, it's unhelpful, and it's the quickest way to piss me off. If you're my support, SUPPORT.

On the other hand, I do understand when unskilled supports steal CS, that's infuriating. But that comes down to a skill level, not all supports hitting minions.

What gets me, YoLoQ Blitzcranks... and the passive on their ULT. Damn static bolts stealing my CS, it's infuriating!!!!

When I play support zyra I Q the caster creeps so the ADC can take them out while the cannon minion is getting ticked down. How does this make you feel?
