PSA: Can We Stop The Support Blame?!
Look, I'm all for giving shit to terrible players (feeders, trolls, complete noobs, etc.), but can we stop blaming a support that's been doing well all game, please?! I main support in Ranked and am constantly blamed for no wards, even though I have 4 wards placed (Greens at Baron and Dragon, a Pink in River). Typical conversation between me and the rest of the team is as follows:
Me (Support): "Hey guys, please upgrade your trinkets. It's only 250 gold and the extra vision is much appreciated." Jungler: "Why don't YOU buy the wards, r%%%%%? Quit asking people to do your job for you." ADC: "Yeah, fucktard." Me: "I've always got 3 Greens and 1 Pink placed. I can't place any more wards than that, since the cap was added in Season 4 (I think?). I'm simply asking for you to chip in 250 gold each so we can have permanent vision control." Jungler: "/all Report this [insert my champion here], refuses to ward and wants everyone else to instead. Lol." Enemy Team: "/all Lol, it seems like your only vision is coming FROM [insert my champ]." Me: "/all I simply asked my team to upgrade trinkets for 250 and the jungler and ADC flew off the handlebars. I have no idea why." Enemy Team: "/all So, report jung and ADC, right?" Me: "/all Yes please, verbal abuse."
From there, my Jungler and ADC are flipping out and arguing with each other and the entire enemy team. I just mute them after that.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP BLAMING SUPPORTS!
