Discussion about this " Support Singed " incident

So a lot of heat has been felt from someone being suspended playing support singed using smite to cheese the enemy jungler from a buff. Now I made a previous thread being the memer I am and taking the (excuse my language ) piss out of the situation, taking a video from a well-known singed streamer. As soon as I posted that thread after a few minutes it instantly got removed ; maybe from a bot or a tired Rioter who is tired of the backlash expierienced from this.

Honestly, I don't get the problem. The meta has been broken before,countless youtubers such as Brofesco Anklespankin, even in the LCS. Don't think we didn't notice that cheeky miss fortune support instalock. It proved quite well, as with the singed support as well. I really hate the "meta" sure it makes everything neat and orderly and give you a better chance to win, but it feels too restrictive you know.

Anyways, in the end riot suspended the person's account due to negativity received from his team mates. This situation is equivalent to " Hey you are doing something different that is doing okay but people don't like it, so sorry but suck it up and enjoy the detention. " Another thread has been saying " refusing to cooperate with the team ". I'm sorry but that is just absolutely ridiculous, from what it seems the guy says that he is just going to steal a buff, after that he whole-heartedly supports the adc. Riot created a champion who use this idea of roaming in the jungle leaver their ADC in their Plat series being harassed by an enemy laner. ( I'll give you a hint, it's this guy ->Bard ) Would that mean all summoners playing this champion are now banned/suspended due to being non-compliant to the ADC?

Sorry for re-kindling a fire but this has been bothering for days now and I just wanted to give my opinion in a form other than a comment. Anyways, what do you think guys? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn] [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Short answer: "Meta" and champion choice have nothing to do with it. He queued as support (where you get shorter queue times) but bought talisman and jungled instead. Spending 90% of the time clearing camps and only going to lane when you have Ghost up or to take farm when the laner is dead is not supporting, that is jungling. Typing a paragraph where you go "No, no, this is 'Support Singed'. I'm not jungling, this is a strategy " does not change the fact that is jungling.

With all the "mid or feed" players or guys announcing that they will be playing Top and autolocking even though they got ADC, taking another player's assigned role is a bannable offense so he got a two-week ban for it. And that's not even getting into all the BS things he did that griefers do, like smiting buffs away from his team's jungler.

Your impression is wrong. He did not "wholeheartedly support the ADC", he barely went to lane and falsely reports his teammates for intentional feeding.

At least Bard can place health ports for his ADC & he doesn't require killing monsters to gain XP when he can just collect chimes simply by walking to it instead of taking 5 minutes killing monsters, plus he can get back to lane faster with the bonus movement speed from chimes & his E. And Singed on the other hand, well, he has none of those.

Their problem seems to lie more in the lack of communication. Sure it can work, but it requires coordination, and I sure as hell couldn't suddenly adapt to having my lane support be a singed that runs off and leaves me alone without prior knowledge and a plan on how to survive on my own.

This is not a "meta" issue so much as it is a Griefing issue . I had someone in one of my games play Singed Support they proceeded to go top (my lane) and proxy and starve me out so i ended up bot lane level 1 vs a level 3 lane can you guess how that worked out ? i had no money for Support items nothing and i was Yorick. game lasted like 25-30 and no one on my team left saying boy that was fun. This is the same thing to me are just running it up mid ...its not my idea of fun but i am sure it is someones. but i can tell you its not fun for the other 4 people on that team . i think the 3 Voting choices are kinda unfair in that i am fine with people breaking meta but not if it causes Grief and ruins the game for people.
