Hello, I have gotten many supports who leave me lv 1 to support top or mid instead. Is this player re portable?

I mean, no but yes? Its this new strat that I personally enjoy, people take supports and go to other lanes. Riot themselves have said that they were mistaken for banning Nubrac, and that this isnt bannable as long as they are trying to win. In a case like this just farm, also, did they end up coming back? I assume they were doing an entire map roam?

Unfortunately it's not. Certain support champions like Pyke or Alistar will try to tell you that's what they're SUPPOSE to do. I call serious bullshit on that, but it's enough of an excuse to get past any reports.

Why unfortunately? I play a good amount of Support, and hate when ADCs complain that they can't be on their own for 30 seconds. A couple games back I played Bard and was able to get multiple kills roaming mid, collect chimes, get dragon, etc. You shouldn't need a babysitter bottom, learn to play cautiously for a few seconds. This is especially true when I'm supporting a weak early game champion who is just farming, like Ez just hitting Qs on minions. You don't need me there all the time. You have a flash built into your kit.

It's one thing when you decide to roam when the wave crashes into the enemy tower. It's a completely different thing when you decide to roam when the wave is crashing into YOUR tower and the support whines that you're not playing aggressively enough when they do come back.

I kinda wish Riot would just enforce a meta already, though i dont know how that would go.

They are doing this by forcing you to queue for a physical position on the field. Top, Mid, Bot, Jungle. Support is the only one that's up to interpretation. In DOTA, the "meta" was 1-1-3 with two supports bottom (one of them supposed to be jungling, but sometimes it was just stacking and pulling waves, etc). Could also do 2-1-2 which is viable. No jungler. But with dragon, buffs, etc, Riot has made not jungling impossible.
