Playing Support Sucks

and it has nothing to do with champs, balance, items, adc 2017 lul, 5 man bot or any of that. It's the constant whining and harassment by adc's in general. Only way I can even semi stomach playing support is if I mute them. What's the deal here?

When I play adc, I don't say anything to the support other than the occasional good job or grats on a great play. Mostly I ping intentions but to just talk crap, call them names, wish them dead, or whatever because they missed a hook? or because they went mid to help gank and I got caught out? Or cause they bailed out of a bad fight? or because they didn't bail out of a bad fight? It's just too stupid.

That's my main reason for hating playing support. I wonder if anyone else feels this way?

I am sorry but if your ADC is harrassing you that means bot lane is lost . They will feed no matter how good you are. In this cases just go roam and get other laners fed or go counter jungle. Heck if you are far behind just go top, and let your top laner farm more efficiently while he shares some exp with you in return.

Just for curiosity, have you ever worked customer support?

Yes, there are many games where I feel that way.

I mainly play support but I feel jungle and support are blamed a lot more than other people. In general I think the people that are really good at support and jungle have a better appreciation for teamwork while the other play mindsets are just to get as fed as possible.

I once had an ADC who decided to go Annie APC last second, and I was fine with that.. but then she constantly overextends and gets grabbed by Blitz so I blocked a few grabs to save her and end up dying, she says we lost cause "Lulu is feeding report" when I've only died once and she has died 4 times by walking right into Blitz. I'm doing more damage as support Lulu than she is as AP Annie, she's not poking them at all and says something about how her support is bronze, and so I left and supported mid. We got lots of kills and Annie did nothing but beg them to report me rest of the game. Mid got fed and we were good despite Annie being useless and flaming.
