Supports are like school teachers

You never know what kinda student you are going to get. Are you going to get one that already knows what to do but just needs some help or are you going to get one that knows nothing and needs complete hand holding? Are you going to get that kid who thinks they know everything and yells at you because they messed up? Are you going to get the one that knows they aren't very good and just rolls with their mistakes? No matter who you get supports are there to help the student but some just don't want it.

Edit: Mister Punches put it nicely. They're overworked, underpaid, and deal with abuse from the people that they serve and protect?

Yeah, that sounds like a support player. We need more love for our supports.

Depends on what kind of school teacher you're talking about.

I remember back in my junior days a few teachers were like "Imma carry you guys with my such impressive knowledge base and skill/experience in my expertise why are you still dogshat?" While in reality they really didn't do all that much and had a terrible attitude.

So yer.

And some support/teachers are just filling in for the day because they had no other choice; all the other roles were taken.

When you're gone to lane as a support and your ADC is AFK in the fountain:

Thirty seconds until minions spawn!

ADC is by far my worst role -.-

I must be the kid who poops his pants and doesn't know how to clean it up. He just sorta stands there and starts crying as everyone else silently leaves in horror

Supports are like feminists. Always think they're all that.

Thank you so much for this . Lol. I just came out of a game where I was playing Leona support and was the moderator of the game, trying to get Lee sin and Ashe to stop talking sh*t at each other.

I find myself doing this a lot honestly, and it just feels like you're trying to break up an argument in class. I know how this feels too, as I have served as an EA and plan to be a high school teacher.

Your analogy is actually spot on.

But really, thanks for the Support recognition, man, Lol. :)
