since players are allowed to just lie about actually wanting to play support... i will just join them and say fill and or support in my preferences and just pick and play like a carry from that spot. just like 2 out of every 3 supports i get. they say i am building support then start with then never by anything resembling a support item the rest of the game.. much less even upgrade it all. i used to be nice about things. then teams said things like "just deal with it. so what if the support is goin apc build and making it hard to farm as well take all the kills. just deal with it." so after all of this can anyone tell me why supports can do whatever they want, when they want, how they want? while if i am the adc i cant do the very same thing? why the double standard? if am an adc and i keep getting people who lie about intent or play style and when i magically decide to build support mid game when the support went carry then how am i the bad guy? yes i know i am bronze 5 so lets not even mention that. so yes why are supports allowed to have a huge open f*** you card and have it be ok.

Death is the best CC. It's also one of the easier ways to deny enemies from gold.

As a mage support player, I really don't need CS to kill the enemy. But if I see that my marksmen sucks at CSing, or just sucks in general, I would take the CS. Better for someone to get that gold rather than have that gold go to waste.

Btw, supports are allowed to take CS. A non-CSing support is just the META that was developed in season2. Not rule saying they can't take the CS. Marksmen can build support as well, there's no rule around that.

Like I play Syndra,Lux,Zyra and Zoe support but my main goal early game is to get my adc fed and I avoid taking minions (unless if its zoe for the spell minion but spell cannon minion are off limits) then mid to late game I am just pure damage or a heavy engage. Yes there are games where I get a lot of kills but then I just push tower take drag then roam bot and push bot. So even if I don't get my adc fed then I try to roam to further our teams lead cause well I don't wanna waste my lead. Also I hate to say this but in Bronze you gotta count on your adc/team being useless.

Velkoz supp got me to diamond. Doesn't matter how monkey my adc is if theirs is 1500 gold behind at 10 min. It's just a different kind of supporting.

Soon Bronze 5 will be the least of people's worries. Iron V will be the new talk of next season.

Back on topic. As a support main, I used to pick brand, the thing is, you have to focus on the champion. Be sure not to use up all your mana. But I do understand the conflict of losing farm to the support.

None of it is okay. Support roles are pretty complex as you climb, but we don't get the "Do-W/E-You-Want" card. But if they do ruin your game and ruin your experience, be sure to report them for griefing. Especially if they're toxic.

Yeah, there are a lot of troll non-supports. They are a plague. Report them. It won't do anything, because Riot doesn't give a shit about actual trolls, but it will make you feel a little better.

If it's the developing meta, then adapt or fall behind.
