My eyes are open! We've been playing all wrong.

All this time we've been lead to believe supports were supposed to peel and give kills to the carries. But no more! From here on, I will choose damage-focused champions and play for the KD rather than the KDA. Thank you to the wonderful and wise Fizz in my previous game, who elucidated this fact for me! From the guru's mouth:

Fizz: **** do something instead of sitting there 2/8 Alistar: Sincere question. Why do people ALWAYS ignore assists when calling out a support? I'm 2/8/17. Not 2/8. Fizz: your 2/8. your assists mean nothing

"Your assists mean nothing (you silly support)." ~ A 10/10/10 Fizz

I can't believe it took me so long to realize this simple fact! I can't wait to start my next game with this newfound knowledge. I'm thinking of taking Master Yi. Suggestions?

Draven support is the only support you need.

If you wish to focus on the kills and getting them as much as possible while still having some cc for the team, might I suggest Orianna ? She's got everything a support wants and an auto attack buffer. in the botlane is somewhat popular still and with his passive buffs I see no reason not to go for it. Want some cc, tankyness, but still want to ks like a boss? Then look no further than Chogath , he's like Velkoz except his ult is instant and he gets tanky. A classic Nidalee in the botlane makes anyone tilt assuming you land those spears. Your heal ain't that good but its attack speed buff makes up for it, plus if you lane with a Caitlyn you are guaranteed to give the enemy cancer.

Now go forth, take what you can, give nothing back.

Assists don't mean anything.

Infact, the KD part doesn't as well.

Lmao another supp main bitching on how he got abused on the Summoners Rift. "Omg he called me noob, omg he said i do nothing, omg my adc sucks dick while we the support carry the entire game in our bare hands, omg i hit my stun at point blank and my team didn't said gj" - the typical support rant.

fun fact i once was going yi and my friend going lulu support and we switched and couldn't switch back in time so she ended up playing yi support in short, she actually was pretty fed, i think she went 15/7/20 so i mean, go for it! also i feel you people always ignore support's assists, i always like to take count 2 assists as 1 kill tbh also not to mention when people bitch about a tank jungler/top having no kills but like 20 assists :v (tfw B- grade for 1/0/20 zac jungle, feelsbadman)

Zyra is awesome, ks and cs everything, and of course, not your fault, since you cannot control the plants....and she's a meta pick... (we're being sarcastic right?)

Zyra support can easily do more damage to champions than the rest of her team while still building the requisite item 2049 . It's honestly amazing how long she flew under the radar before finally becoming Meta

Full AD Bard - what can I say?

Hah, I remember a game where I played Nautilus support and accidentally kept stealing my team's kills. At the end of the game I had 17 kills, the full AP Annie mid lane had about 10.

I would mention the 35 assists I had but apparently that doesn't matter.

Wait since when does KD or KDA trump Winning? we never got to hear the end of the story...

My suggestion is to move this to the correct thread.

I have the opposite problem. I'll play a bursty support like Bard or Sona alongside mediocre ADCs, then catch flak when I get kills.

noob op took so long to realize this ur lucky that person felt like playing fizz, after all they are all about the teamplay, which explains his 2.0 KDA if that person wasnt feeling as generous as they were and decided to play someone like (depending on their role) Malphite Shen DrMundo (top lane) Amumu RekSai Trundle (jungle) Viktor Orianna Lulu (middle lane) they wouldve ks'd hard and left you no knowledge be grateful [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
