they claim its boring and no fun , that they dont feel they have an impact in the outcomes of games. and they wanna "carry" and get "kills" cuz they think that is what the game is about and thats how you win

but i say this as someones last game was sona support who went 12-10-22 and had the most damage in the game of both teams with over 47k damage to champs

Well I carry the carry so they can carry [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] SIMPLE! cause its extremely funny to watch (my team) Zilean Sivir Kindred versus Lux Varus and Veigar and end up making all 3 use their ults and not get a single kill

Because they are all selfish dweebs who think they have to get the kills to look good. They are also the ones who call KS every time they don't get kill.

Actually, the reason nobody plays it isn't because they don't impact the game. Most supports generally impact the games the most (second to junglers rather). People don't like it for a multitude of reasons

Nobody wants to be stuck in lane supporting a bad adc. It's the worst feeling when you can't cs or do anything in lane cause you're busy worrying about the stupid adc that tries to tower dive every 2 seconds and you know leaving lane generally reports in the adc being toxic(er) and just causes the game to go downhill from there
Rito games keeps allowing supports to be pushed out by mages. So you just flat out don't see the normal supports bot lane these days.
Item diversity. support item, Sighstone,boots you just lost 3 item slots for being queued as a support as they are typically a necessity. Depending on you being a tank or ap support you generally have your other 3 items already planned out as they don't change much

There's lots more reasons but im sure you get the point. Generally speaking supports just don't get any love from Rito and whenever they do it usually gets nerfed because solo laners abuse it.

It's pretty clear to see why, this coming from a main.

Being poor seldom feels good.
Being poor and tied to someone elses apron strings usually feels less good.
Having your success attached to a Vayne main who specializes in tumbling into the enemy team and complaining about the lack of peel is worse.

What really sets me off though, is the being raged at if I happen to end up with a kill. Never going to queue for support until that changes.

I actually don't mind support in games like Heros of the Storm, because there I feel like a real player when I do so, and there's no 'killsteal' raging.

If I play a support tank, I don't have the budget to be tanky for most of the game, and if I play something that I play elsewhere (sup naut for example) I often end up feeding due to being so much weaker than jungle naut, and VASTLY weaker than top naut.

In my 3 years of playing league as a support main, I can only think of 1 specific game that I was raged at. There have been times I was raged at that were justified and I know I screwed up, but not for something like securing a kill. Most ADC's just keep on playing when I take the kills like nothing happened. I have gotten first blood double kills on Taric many times and ADC's never say anything other than something along the lines of "It would have been nice if I got one of those." That isn't them raging at me for taking the kills. That is just them making a statement that I totally agree with.

This is a big reason why i like to play mage supports. Usually i can zone off the enemy from their wave and let my adc free farm. If i do take a kill and they rage at me, I will either roam more or just proceed to accidentally KS over and over.

A lot of people find it boring anymore because of how a lot of mages are pushing their way into the support role. So going an actual support isn't cutting it anymore. Plus the diversity in items are quite limited. Its mainly just items that heal or give you shields. I still think the support roles shouldn't get that much hate. Its actually pretty fun if you have the right ADC.[slayer-jinx-catface]

a bad ADC with a good support can get the ADC out of the rut. a good ADC with a bad support is a 2v1. a good ADC with a good support destroys xD I have gone 0/7/5 bard. but also 2/8/32 or like 0/1/18 Ivern the kinda things you get do depend on the ADC but even then there are supports that specialize in noob saving.

Big LincolnMar 17, 20171 votes

because mage scum are infesting it

same reason I refuse to play ADC, like I would ever share a lane with filth

Stupidity.

Because you sometimes get a team where no one s worth supporting. And then you lose. The end.

pretty much what leichy said. When you're support you depend entirely on your team and you're left completely helpless if your team decides to troll you. In that kind of situation there's nothing you can do, you have no gold, no item, not a carry champ, you can't 1v1 anyone on the other team, you cannot waveclear, you cant take objective, you literally cannot do anything. And we, the na community, are famous for the trollerinos.
