People are so toxic towards supports

Played 1 game as support and watched the team just complain and moan at me all game long.

That kind of instant toxicity is warding me away from the role more than anything.

In my experience people aren't "toxic" towards supports just because they are support, but because they are often autofilled and have no idea what they're doing.

Because unless you are a god or something, people will often just complain and complain and complain. Either build, you didnt use your heal or shield in time, you missed a skill shot, or (god forbid) YOU TOOK A CS FROM THEM!!!

They claim support is the easiest role, but they can not do anything in it... kind of odd yes? Seeing as supports have carried games many many many many times through saves/plays/sacrafice.... people do not recognize their help because "well they arnt doing the damage. They arnt doing these flashy plays. 'Its their job to do that. Why should they get more recognition for doing their job?'

People need to get off their dang high horses and stop whining about everything. It does nothing in game except make everyone worse. "This is my smurf, idc if we lose. You deserve it." Yeah that kinda bs is annoying.

Jungler gets more flame in my experience. It's usually the ADC who flames the support but if a jungler does bad, all three lanes will flame the jungler.

Top, mid, and jung all blame bott and support and even combines their scores to try and make it seem like they are totally worthless and horrible.

They will blame support for not warding. The adc will be pretty much unmentioned most of the time apart from "that 0/10 bott lane" (ignores the supports 20 assists). Bott gets a small bit of the flame, but for the most part if the adc starts flaming the support, everyone will.

As a support, I remember playing soraka for a lucian adc. We got dived and I kept my heals on Lucian, CC'ed and silenced the enemy. I kept lucian alive long enough for him to get a Triple kill!. Almost immediately after the fight ended, I got a "Got a triple kill despite this useless support" when I told him that I had kept him healed and had been silencing the enemy the whole time. The response I got was "you didnt do shit, that triple kill was All me!"

So after all I did to keep him alive, I get told how I am useless and contributed nothing to HIS Triple kill.
