Attn ADCs: If you say you dont need any support, I will call your bluff and roam!

Yeah I am sick of it Sick of being told how useless I am as a support, How no matter how much I try and ward, stun them down, CC them for you, apparently thats still being a "Useless support" Warding the map = useless Providing CC = Useless Leashing the enemy down to last hit so you can come in and kill them with a sneeze = useless

Yup Supports never do anything right, they are just a drain on the all powerful adcs. I am sick of it, Like really sick of it. So, I am gonna walk. If you start running your lip off about how "useless" your support is. I am gonna roam. I will help other lanes. No I am not trolling, I am calling your bluff. You think you are so pro, Then by all means, have the lane to yourself. But after you get your rear handed to you in a constant 2v1, you dont get to turn around and say "Report my support for trolling"

People wonder WHY they have to -Force- players to play a support role. Because of arrogant, narcissistic adcs who think they can do no wrong. Thier support is just weighing them down with all that warding and crowd control. So if you start badmouthing your support in pregame lobby about how "I am too good, I dont need any support" Get ready for me to call your bluff and walk.

I am the TEAM'S support, Not just yours. I am sure while you are puffing up your chest and saying "How great am I?" I will be in other lanes helping THE REST of the team

Do not Throw your support under the bus, then wonder why they arent there to save you later on.

TL:DR: You talk like your support is a burden, like you dont need any support. Your wish is granted, Good luck in bot lane Solo.

dude, your playstyle really is a burden, and I don't mean that in a wrong way.

You don't trade, you waste your mana and fire empty skillshots, you don't control the minion wave, you don't use your skills at the proper timings and proper things.

Your presence and inability to live up to what the champion does (at your ELO) gives your team a false sense that the numbers are evenly matched or even have an advantage.

Most importantly, don't play the victim card like you are right now. There is so much more to the support class than just map awareness and a walking ward. You as the supports dictate the laning phase's tempo and aggression, you are not a walking ward, but you'd have to get better at the game so you can prove them wrong.

Go back to my previous comments and watch the video on trading stance. It will certainly help you.

I'm a support main, only been playing for just over a year and S6 was my first ranked season, but I'm steadily climbing. I started at B4 when I placed, and I'm in S2 now. So, from one low elo supp to another, this is what I would like you to think about:

It sounds to me as though you need to make use of the /mute all function and work on your personal mechanics. I watch a lot of YouTubers, streamers, and I'll even stalk some players at high elo who main the champs I use (na.op is a Godsend) to get better. You can't grow if you don't open your mind to your own mistakes and maintain a clear head in game. Most importantly, watch your own replays, especially the bad games. It's super hard to see your mistakes in the moment, but after the game is over, take the time to watch yourself and see the circumstances around why you died. Most of the time it will be your fault, but if you can understand why you were in that position when you gave the kill, then you can learn to avoid it and make a better decision in the future. You'll also be able to see the dynamics of the decisions the enemy team was making at the time. Granted, these will change from elo to elo, and you have to account for that, but the best way to defeat your enemy is to understand him.

You can't control other players, neither words nor actions, and continuing to practice and review your mistakes is the only way to get better. So, mute them all, and do your best, find your flaws and fix them. You'll be out of bronze and have a healthier attitude before you know it.

I feel you, my adc overextended despite me pinging that jg is coming and they blame me, if they say "I have no support" I make sure they're not lying and start focusing on other lanes instead

I play mainly support Brand, and I always roam for one of two reasons: (1) my adc is really ahead and is in a safe lane atm so I'm going to help other lanes get ahead as well (2) my adc is horrendous and therefore helping the adc get fed would not be beneficial to us late game

If they talk shit to me that's usually pretty amusing, because I'm the one doing all the damage, not them. I'll just mute them and then tell them to look at end game damage to champs. When mine is 20k over theirs I think they might be slightly embarrassed.

I main the bot lane. I used to main support and only support, but recently I find adc super fun and now play both roles. Since I play both, I can understand both sides of the story. I've had supports literally take most-all of my cs. I'm in lane, and they keep autoing it, or breaking it out of the pattern I've set it up. Honestly, you take a few by accident, that's fine. But when it's to the point that I am not getting anything, it can be tilting.

At the same time, it's super stressful when your adc constantly pings you off of the cs, or says 'don't touch the cs.' It's obvious you're not trying to take it, but in Bronze V, a lot of adcs don't even know what relic shield does. I have had adcs do this and make me want to leave the lane, or not help them try to get kills.

I think you understand the most when you play both roles. I've had some pretty bad supports as an adc (though I'm careful never to flame, we all have bad days) but I've had some pretty shitty adcs as a support.

I've only ever played one placement, last season, but the one I played was terrible. I was Nami support, and my adc was Twitch. He was toxic as hell and constantly flamed me, calling me trash and other terrible words. Eventually, he asked me to leave lane. I did, helped elsewhere on the map. Twitch farmed up and my ult into Twitch's ult was what won us the big team fight and then the game. Never said anything nice, and I finished with a meh KDA of 0/9/23.

The best I suggest would be to find an adc who you work well with. Maybe someone you know in real life. If they're around your rank, queue together. There's a whole lot less flaming and more fun.

If you want an adc who won't flame and will help give you tips, hit me up in game. I don't play ranked, but I'm happy to play norms with you. IGN: Claret Tree

As a midlaner, pls help me beat up my lane opponent when their jungler camps me. <3

No one ever talks to me like that when I support. It's your fault.

Also you are too burnt out on support to play it properly I've seen all of your rage threads recently. Support needs a peaceful relaxed strategic mind because you set up the plays. If you can't relax it's not the role for you.

Consider playing Nasus and split pushing top for awhile. You'll enjoy that a lot more. I took a look at your op.gg and you have EIGHTY THREE percent winrate on Darius. Why are you not playing this champ or some other tanky top? It's your thing and support is not.

http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Damagefox

You're in Bronze 5 with a 43% winrate which means you probably have the same MMR the trolls have, so you have your work cut out for you. You can't afford to pick Tahm Kench anymore it's the weakest supp in the game right now.

Another big hole in your game is that you aren't showing up to fights you have a 29% kill participation rate. I split push Singed and have about the same kill rate, I almost never group with my team unless there is nothing else I can do on the map.

Try to get that up to 50-60% if you're going to stay supp.

Support players are just players who suck ass at the game, so they beg 4 people to carry them every game. It sounds like you NEED to be more appreciate of the ADCs and mid laners that carry you. Unappreciative Hillary voter, typical.

If I'm at the point where I tell you that "I don't need a support", please roam/afk or do whatever. That's what I'm asking you to do.

Here's the thing. I'm an ADC main and I've had some really good supports and some really shitty. They'll miss their E (Leona) and flash Q the enemy while there's a minion wave coming up. I've played support a few times with the whole autofill thing and I agree, some ADC's are nasty even when you spoon feed them and they're shit. However I've had supports who will know I'm carrying the team and yet they won't peel for me or trust me to go in on a certain situation. To say that every ADC flips out over 1 cs taken is just stupid. Now if you've taken 3 cs in the same period of time then you can understand why they're getting upset. I've had people who refused to stop aa'ing. But I've also noticed you're Bronze 5 so....
