Trolling supports

Im an ADC player, and ive noticed in some games some supports deliberately take farm and try to mess with me when i just try farming. has happened in more games than one.

Is this reportable under the "griefing" section?

P.S i dont mind a support getting a few minions, it happens even in pro play but when they DELIBERATELY take it and mess up my last hitting i do get tilted.

No. You don’t own the farm. If you think they’re taking your farm, then you’re not last hitting well enough. You’re more than welcome to ask them nicely to try to not take the farm. But that doesn’t mean they’re obligated to stop - it’s not yours to begin with.

On a similar note... very few people do this out of nowhere. It’s highly likely that your “bossiness” that’s leading you to get mad at them for “taking” “your” farm is the attitude that’s leading them to annoy you. Maybe look at what you could be doing to cause them to do these things.

Support mains rarely take CS on purpose out of respect for their ADC. If they get CS because of they're abilities (like Zyra's plants and Morg's pool after harassing enemy) then you're probably last hitting/CSing poorly. If they're purposefully taking CS then they're probably not a support main and got auto-filled there. I don't care for auto-filled supports because they either troll because they don't want to support or they just don't understand the role and as a support main that upsets me.

One of the primary reason I main support because I'm lazy and don't want to deal with cs-ing (I can....do.....okay....if I have to) or jungle camps so I really don't care for supports who take cs. I believe bot lane is already at a xp disadvantage vs the other 2 lanes because we have to share between 2 people so taking gold income would put my bot laner at even more disadvantage when it's mid game and we have to deal with the other 3 enemies.

With that said, my stand is that since the official rule is that no cs, jungle camp "belong" to any particular player. Taking cs as a support or jungle even if done deliberately is not and should not be punishable (you can report, but it won't do anything).

It's unfortunate that happens to you, but all you can do is try to survive the laning phase and hopefully be able to farm in peace once your tower or any tower goes down.

Why the fuck is this guy getting downvoted for asking a straightforward question? He's being completely respectful. Save your downvotes for the assholes, people.

OP, the rules don't do a good job of protecting the ADC's priorities in this situation. I'm not sure if you're a new player or a smurf, but you can expect fewer supports to mess with your wave after you've leveled up a bit.

Your best bet is to ask once, and if they keep at it then just ignore them. If they're trolling you then it's only going to get worse if you reward them with attention for it, so try to ask in a way that doesn't show annoyance.

It will happen sometimes, and when that happens, there's not much you can do to change it, since you can't really control them. Report them after the game and don't reward their attempts to frustrate you by showing that it frustrates you.

As for what you can do in-game, look at it as an opportunity to practice other skills. You won't be able to have a normal game, but that doesn't mean you can't get something of value out of it. Practice skills and techniques that you will benefit from using in future matches.

I mean if they have a Relic, its fine. If they don't it was either an accident(such as with abilities) or support isn't their main role. If they are sitting there watching you/your minions poke down the enemy minion and they take it, then yeah, that's a dick move. Normally supports respect the fact that you need CS and don't touch it unless you're not in lane for whatever reason.

Also my take on the "supports need CS too" thing. Yeah, they do, but they shouldn't be actively taking CS from the ADC. There are also more important things that the support needs to take care of, such as keeping themselves and their ADC alive, warding when its their turn to, ect. The last thing a support should be worrying about is their CS, as its more of a distraction from what they should be focusing on.

im reading through the comments and wtf are people saying. "Its not the right for adc to have the farm" "You dont own the farm" Ive never laughed so hard. Its not rule but it has always been known for the support not to take the farm. Its not a rule to say sorry but people still say sorry. I also saw this "Your job is to get fed. That does not mean you have a right to CS." do you even play league. Adc need to get items to do damage to get fed. Thats mid, jg, etc. I looked at most of the people saying similar things and they are all low elo. No wonder your there.
