[Bronze] So I tryed to play support volontary
Eyh guys ! Before u read that huge thing, let me say that I'm not an English's native, so U may find somes mistakes here. TDLR at the end
So, after a bunch of lose who got me from silver to bronze, i saw that on 3 of each 4 games, i was matched with an autofilled player in support, and he was actually almost all the time playing a APcarry as a support, often without even a gold item. ( and we won't speak of the sightstone) when he wasn't just asking to go somewhere else.
So, I and tryed to support in ranked.
50% of the time I was playing support/somethingelse (so matched support 80% of time) alone, 50 % of the time I was playing adc with a mate that i meet online.
Before i go further, let me say 2 things : _ 1- This post isn't a complain, and if u think it is, please just go somewhere else :) Its actually just a bottle that i launch to the sea, explaining why i won't do it again. 2-I'm kind of a nervous's one. That mean that if u taunt me IG too much, i will be worst each time, cause u make me react and i lose my attention on the game. If i tilt real bad, sometimes i will taunt back, even if i try to do it less and less, sometimes i can't avoid to do it._
The Experience
Like people (and me the first) aren't that good, i was mainly playing sona ( due to the cool dj skin and the poke's abilities) building first gold item, then roa asap while getting some control wards, then sighstone and finishing my eye of the watcher, then going full AP. Maybe its not the perfect build : I'm actually a low silver, and I never focused onsupport that much before, so i'm not that good but well, at least i was trying u know.
Let 's be clear : I never felt raging that much.
Each time team was flaming/insulting me the whole time, for any mistakes made, like if I was the main reason each time. So let's say my adc got 60 cs and the opponent 80 at min 11 ( y it was bronze...) , well, its because of the support. The mid feeded a talon who's doing penta on each teamfight ? Well, its because of the support. Ect, ect. I was having trouble with somes support (bard / lux / good blitzcrank) but most of the time it was ok. However , people still gathered asking to report when i failed ( it happen, otherly won't be in bronze/silver) , when the lane failed (first tower loss, adc feeding, unable to keep each bush warded.
So I kept going with Sona, and I reached silver again. Even if i was forced to mute most of the team to keep being quiet IG, at last i was getting ligue point ! I also get to know where people were putting ward, something that i wasn't really knowing, except for the obvious places, like I wasn't trying to get theses ward out :) Another good thing was that i was actually able to spend my time communicating for the team, giving SS when peoples weren't doing it (by ping) and I was having the feeling of helping the team more than when i was playing top or mid. Why not keep going ?
But here we are,the next day, i'm now banned for "bad attitude" without any more comments. Less than a week after starting to play support. I was a toxic player before so I recognized the pop up when it came to my eyes, but its the first time I get a ban since like 2 years on any account, litteraly cause i've stopped blaming people in game, whatever they're doing, and also because I discovered that i could mute people with huge mouth. So i'll recover my account in a few days but let's be clear : In my mind, if i'm not autofilled, i won't support anymore : too risky for the account.
The Conclusion :
I think the way people report the fault on the support when team lose a game / when bot lose the lane make people think 2 times before going support in the lowest divisions. And that's so bad, cause that's actually a great way to move up : the opponent's supp got often autofilled, and doesn't buy a real amount of control ward, so u often win the "world ward's war", and like they actually play most of the time APC, the laning phase is easy if U take a support with sustain or who is tanky. In Mid/End game, U have such map awareness that Ur team is actually able to perform many kills who often lead to objectives (because of peoples going solo in theses div's on endgame, when they don't just facecheck every bush) The Wrong part is the following : u're 2 on the lane. But U're supposed to feed ur ADC, and in people's mind, if the ADC fail its because the support failed, and that's not entirely false. But that's also not entirely true, remember, we're in a low division, and u can't know that U won't get the badest ADC of the two, and that he could be unable to win the lane even if U do ur job, for multiples reasons. The worst scenario is when the ADC do anything to deserve a report, and that someone launch a "premade bot" without any reason. If someone say that, U could be sure u get reported as the ADC, even haven't saying anything, even not knowing this guy at all.
About the ban, I can't avoid thinking that even if i taunted somes of my lovely mates who were free flaming me, i've never used any insult or trolled ( by trolling i mean volontary feeding/afk/advising the opponents in /all, ect) and that i'm actually banned because i've volontary support for a whole week, and that I've been reported for nothing too many times, a thing who have leaded to a red flag.
The second thing who make me think that is the following : I'm actually playing on this account since many months, he got banned in the past, and I didn't got any problems with the tribunal before I try to support in ranked.... But when i wasn't playing support, I think I got less report, without any reason i understand. I was also taunting people flaming me ( y , that's bad, i know) , and sometimes i was throwing somes game really hard, by my lack of skill ^^'
Is there any guys here who got the same experience while trying to support in a low division ?
Oh, and like i'm actually not that mean, I'm sharing with u folks a funny webm who made me think of somes ADC I've meet during this week : https://webmshare.com/B7Ox9
**TLDR : ** Old account, banned multiples times but not anymore since about 2 years, made a break last summer, used it again since like 6 month without problem / got banned a few days after trying to support in bronze's ranked, most of the time with sona. Don't think i'm gonna support volontary again, because I've the feeling i've been reported like never before.
