i just played a game of support with the worst adc ever i warded where they wanted me too and then when i did not have a ward charge they would back and go buy a control ward then then whined in all chat that i forced them to buy 2 control ward. when i went to roam and help top they kept pinging me and to top it all of they just went bottom because they got mad at me even as both teams were fighting mid what do i do as a support?

That's just a very selfish ADC. If i have spare gold between backs/purchases I will always buy 1-2 control wards and help out in addition to using trinkets.

As a support you just do what you can, if you have to mute them to deal with them do so and just play it out. If they're kinda hopeless you can refocus your attention on whoever is actually doing well that game. It's just a sad fact.

Yes I am a support main, and I have grown all too sick of the arrogance of my adcs. They spend the entire game flaming and degrading thier supports, telling support how "fucking useless" they are (Who the hell do you think keeps you ALIVE long enough to get 'fed') they insult and degrade supports, tell the support how "I dont need you". Then as soon as they get thier ass handed to them you see "Report my support for abandoning lane and leaving me to die" Nah If my adc gets arrogant and stupid, I am not responsible for them.

My moto is simple "I dont support stupid"

Send a friend request to an ADC (either your team or even enemy team) that you enjoyed playing with and duo with them. Both of you will learn to trust each other more and you two can play better together. The important one is to find an ADC (either a friend or a random from your games) who won’t flame you unnecessarily or anything like that and understands your decisions.

Did you buy a support item and upgrade your trinket to the oracle lens? I find that people who are new to support sometimes do not understand how support itemization works, or know where and how to ward. You should upgrade your support Item first and foremost and swap to Oracle lens as soon as the support quest has been completed.

Your job is to Ward, destroy enemy vision, harass enemy champions, and keep people alive.

Supports win games. Not all games but they win games. So when you come across a bad game brash it off and move on. Some Awsome adc is just somewhere waiting to meet you. The rest who cares, they be going to iron 4 anyway.

Ignore an ADC like that. Some of them are spoiled and think that you are supposed to hand them the game on a platter. You are supposed to support the whole team by warding, watching the map, keeping track of objectives and even ganking. If your ADC doesn't understand that, its their problem

You keep playing Ahri "support" and going full AP leaving your ADC most of the time it seems, having terrible vision scores and never bothering to grab an oracles lens. You never buy more than 1 control ward per game which is ironically usually lower than your ADC.

I'm not excusing your ADC's behavior but you would be an extremely frustrating "support" to play with.

i would mute his pings and play a roaming support. if he wants to throw the game there isnt much you are going to be able to do about it. might as well have some fun!
