a potential solution to support discrimination
make it so assists count as "half a kill" and after every 2 assists. it would reset. and put a kill on your kill total

Good support players have kda that's something like this 2/8/20 or 1/3/25.
BUT there is discrimination in lower elo where only the kd portion, without the assists, is used as a way to determine that a player "sucks" or "lacks any quality decision making skills."
For example, you're sitting at 1/3/15 at the time and you say "Let's go get 2nd tier top turret." In response, your teammates may say "Shut up you feeder," straight out ignore you in game, or claim that you are toxic for even suggesting what to do. BUT at the same time, the person that is sitting at 10/9/1 says "Let's go do 2nd tier top turret" your teammates, at least in lower elo, will stop everything they are doing and help that person.
for everyone then??
How is having a support with lots of assists vs kills discriminating? As a support you should WANT your ADC to get kills and get fed...you should want to be part of those kills (aka assists). You want to set them up and make them happen.
Why? What sort of discrimination?
why would you even care? only if you suck. im a decent support thus i dont care if ppl see how i carried that horrible adc or how i didnt.
really an easy solution is to add an assist streak emblem on the right side of character health like they have for killstreak bounties so low tier players can see something is being done right
How will putting 2 assists as 1 kill help you and your team win games?
