The jungler and the support are like the parents of the team.

They have to deal with all the other 3 children crying for about everything.

Now tell me that this is not true.

And when it's Teemo in top lane, he's that weird uncle who keeps talking about his time in the war (he never says which war, and you're pretty sure he was never in the military) and trying to get you to eat mushrooms he picked in the woods.

Everyone has that uncle, right? It's not just me?

Happily.

I'll acknowledge that the support and the jungler take more than their fair share of complaints, but I've seen people in those roles complain and cry about their teammates about as frequently as those in other roles.

So not like they're the parents for their team. I'd argue instead that, due to the more assist-focused nature of those two roles, they are simply easy targets for people complaining: the junglers gets everyone complaining about her if she does poorly, and the support has a single person who will chew him out. From that point on it's about equal, as who blames who for what is fairly open aside from the little extra focus on the support/jungler.

Sorry. I didn't have to, but felt a strong desire to. xD

It's okay! If you're very, very good, and if you eat ALL your minions, we can go out for Infernal Drake later. Doesn't that sound fun?

Sorry we are all out of Inferal. All we have left is Ocean.

Okay. I guess Ocean is healthier, I just like the punch that Infernal gives.

adcs leaving lane to get an objective instead of staying in lane to just farm or going to another lane to steal farm https://i.imgflip.com/gjx1b.jpg?a418824

Jet SettOct 13, 20178 votes

That explains why the jungler blames me for every mistake I make and refuses to help me when I need it and they are able. And why the support never takes care of me and focuses on my more productive ~~sibling~~ teammate.

No I don't have any problems, why are you asking?

Sahn UzalOct 13, 20177 votes

that this is not true.

TerozuOct 13, 20177 votes

The top laner is the older sibling, theyre occasionally nice and friendly but are usually up in their room doing god knows what, and might occasionally scream at their dad, mom, or younger siblings.

The mid laner is that middle child who's constantly having to with the other kid's crap and is just an overall wild card.

The Adc is the baby, whos may act like a sweetheart from time to time, but often screams and screams.

The support is the mom, who only has time for the baby but still tries to keep the map clear of FoW.

The jg is the dad, who's always out working but occasionally helps out, usually bot since a happy wife is a happy life.

JasiwelOct 13, 20171 votes

The sad part is how jarring a game becomes when the roles are reversed bottom lane - watching my support kick-and-scream over something might be more tilting than missing CS due to random changes in Minion Aggro.

Edit: I say this as someone who plays both Support/ADC in the bottom lane.

TerozuOct 13, 20171 votes

Yeah, i made a joke to our eve the other day adc, and my supp got so offended that she afked under turret whenever i was in lane and flamed me. Its always weird when that happens...

JasiwelOct 13, 20171 votes

As strange as it is, I watch more Supports AFK/RQ over stupid crap than ADCs leaving due to poor performance. One of my Ranked games was lost this year purely due to someone saying something in chat and our Support Karma proclaiming "going AFK now bye". It was typical griping and stuff too; neither offensive or nothing that couldn't be fixed with Muting.

TerozuOct 13, 20172 votes

Supports in ranked are 9/10 adc mains though tbf.

JasiwelOct 14, 20171 votes

Autofill supports man. It's even worse when they're like "I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER IF I WAS ADC".

DrehirthOct 13, 20175 votes

Yes actually, the supports are the mom going all PMs and the jungler is the deadbeat father who isn't apart of your life

Mig89Oct 13, 20171 votes

Yup. You always think he's going to come in and save the day when shit goes south and he either never shows up or too late. This was my childhood. Feelsbadman. I met my dad once and always invited him to activities. He never showed up and then randomly asks if he came come to my graduation ceremony from basic training. Felt good to win without his help. Just like league lmao I'm getting too into this

Top laner is the hard working dad who has only time for his family at the weekends Support is the caring mother who always helps out there children, doesnt matter how stupid there decisions may be. Mid laner is the teenager who just cares about his ego. ADC is the little kid that doesnt do much until it gets older. Jungler is the strange uncle who visits the family from time to time.

Feel free to answer me with your own version of LoL-Family.

IcyPepperOct 13, 20173 votes

have you never seen parents yell and curse at their kids before?

MalchaOct 16, 20171 votes

Mid's are most likely to afk, adc are most likely to be toxic, tops are most likely say fuck the team, ignore everyone and split, jg will afk farm and split when they feel like it, and supports just go help someone else. Everyone has their most common ways of coping based on their roles.

The EcdysiastOct 13, 20173 votes

No, the parents are Top and Jungle. The jungler is the mom, who takes care of everyone who's crying. The Support is the more mature middle child (but still reliant on mom), who takes care of the younger ADC and has to deal with the showboating of the older bro Mid.

Top is the dad, who is usually gone at work but sometimes comes back home to help out, and sometimes provides the game-winning advice.

This is toxic behavior and I do not see why it has 53 upvotes on the player behavior board when you would get reported and suspended for saying this in game.

KatsuKailaOct 16, 20172 votes

I agree. Although I am biased towards support (as that is my main role), it is very clear that the support and jungler are like pillars of support in the team. The jungler is ideally the dad who swoops in to protect his kids from further harm but then leaves them be right after and the support is the mom that comes around to feed the kids hp and shield or protect them from mean champions who are bullying them.

Breaking from that, my thoughts on the other three (assuming all are sons): Top is the eldest child, who graduated college, has his life together, and comes back home to see their siblings time to time. Dad (Jungler) goes out for coffee with him quite frequently. Mid is the middle child that compensates for the lack of attention given to him with ingenious stunts and magic tricks, He's loved and respected by his siblings for being the MIDdleman but, unfortunately, Mom and Dad don't watch his shows too often. ADC (Bot) is the youngest child, spoiled by the mother (literally, she follows him everywhere), and gets angry when someone in the family tries to his candied CS away from him.

Meh if you play a tank support you get alot less flak because they see all the damage they could be taking . and aren't due to you tanking and the free PD you are giving them.

Mokiller5Oct 14, 20171 votes

Actually you are all wrong, I like the version that Sky Williams points out in his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqakQqxkcME

Basically Top = Dad Mid = Mom Jungle = Uncle (Distant uncle who visits you randomly and leave you presents but you never say thankyou) Support = Older Sister ADC = LoudAss, AnnoyingAss, CryingAss, Bitch Younger Brother.

I feel like top/mid/jung/adc/supp are just a bunch of clowns running around in a great clown fiesta...

AbraxisOct 15, 20171 votes

It's true, and I actually think the Jungler is the traditional mother providing emotional and moral foundation, and support is the traditional working father taking care of the bigger picture and having all his income taken for the effort.
