Your thoughts on Agressive Support.

I have been playing Agro Support for a while now and have noticed a few things. There is a gigantic camp of people that believe the support should just be that passive person that does no damage and heals/shields and takes every shot for the ADC that they can. Then there is a tiny, very very small camp that is okay with the support trying their hardest to whittle down the enemies HP and possibly get a kill.

I play Agro Support. That, to me, means that if I see a chance to get a kill and the enemy is right in front of me, I'm going to take it. Now, I can already see all the flaming coming my way from ADC mains for that kind of statement. But, now hear me out. Assists still count as take downs if your worried about that score. Yes, it doesn't offer the same amount of exp, but that what's the CS is for. Basically, what I'm trying to say is. That being an Agro Support is a perfectly viable option, so you don't have to shy away from battle and wait for your ADC to come back from shop. Yeah, an Agro Support will KS, that kinda part of what we do. But, we will try not to take your CS. Overall, I think having an Agro Support with an ADC works so much better than an ADC and that passive little wibble-wobble over there. I personally don't care about KSing cause it assists the team in the long run.

So, tell me your thoughts, feeling, opinions about Agro Support and which is better. Agro Support or Passive Support? Personally, I feel Agro Support is better in the long run. summoner 12

If i'm an AD carry that just wants to sit back and safely farm till late game like Vayne, i'd prefer a sustain / disengage support.

If i'm using an early game AD carry who dominates laning phase like Caitlyn i'd be happy to have an aggressive support.

Its all about who the AD carry is using.

I prefer to feed the ADC everything, and play a ....Supporty support rather than a damaging one.

you don't know wtf agro means/10

but I'm a very, very aggressive support. It's risky, but I always ask before hand if the ADC is cool with it. If yes, then I don't get gold item, I go for health, and get ready to bring the heat.

when i play nidalee sup i dont cs... i make the kils if the adc gets a kil he ksed me... ( verry unlikely )

more likely i felt like there was no way the kil could get away and let him have it

the thing is you could savely farm or i could poke the adc/sup out of lane turning it into a 2v1 where their adc cant cs and mine can...

I'm not against supports taking the occasional kill, esp if it means the enemy will get away if you don't. Yes it's frustrating as the ADC to only get an assist, but good ADCs will be getting all that CS and minus one enemy in lane, getting that CS will be easier.

Plus some supports scale well on getting fed, you can't forget that.
