PSA: For a support, Assists = Kills

Asudurga··11 votes·627 views

I'm sick of seeing supports get called out for 'feeding' when they are something like 1/8/23.

To a typical dumbass all they will see is 1/8, when they forget supports don't get kills, they help the team get kills and for that assists are basically the main focus of their KDA.

WOAH WOAH! You're support and you HAVE A KILL!?!?!?!! I must hate you now - ADC

Just messin, I agree with you though... and of anyone who is going to die... it's probably the low income, under leveled person whom is squishy naturally (unless you're one of the trio of tanky supports Braum Leona Alistar... so yeah, I think so many people don't understand the support role and how tricky it can be.

Hell supports hard BEFORE champion is introduced. We have to constantly eye the map, pick up CS the adc is going to miss, keep the little jerk safe while he flames us for taking said cs he was going to miss, roam mid, roam jungle, ward EVERYTHING, and thats just my short notes of what to do each game.

You don't play Bard do you. :)

I love Bard but unless you're playing him, you're not as rewarded XP wise for roaming :)

Not that they're dumb and I'm sure deep down you're aware of what the issue is. These ppl simply want to insult you to make themselves feel better, and they simply picked your kill and death count as an excuse to do so. They're fully aware of your contribution but they have to ignore that to make their excuse justified.

Is this actually a problem? It never seems to happen to me.

Then again, I do tend to KS like a motherfucker.

Agree and disagree doesn't help if a support goes "Bard" and ults the enemy team our your team at the same time.

a player who goes ADC support and just rights clicks the enemy in a fight does nothing gets 20 assists isn't a support lol?

And your not a decent person. I play ADC supports, and get assists, and win games. Not my fault you can't do the mechanics for harass properly. (<-- WHY I PLAY ADC SUPPORT, #HarassPractice #CaitlynTraps #Teemo)

if a support goes "Bard" and ults the enemy team

This _can _still be super helpful... in some certain situations It allows:

  1. entire team to Zoidberg escape after a baron or something
  2. Repositioning
  3. Cooldowns to come back up.
  4. Some healing to occur

That being said, a bad bard ult is super bad for your team.

WHOA! WHOA! Riot actually added in a kill statistic for support, what patch was this. Also KDA means jack shit. Literally was 0/5/0 one game, but I had all 11 enemy towers knocked down because I said screw it after my adc decided he wanted to hug the Blitzcrank and built every AP Attack Speed item I could fit in my inventory.
