Why do people like this exist?? (and mini support rant)

mosaickle··3 votes·571 views

Just entered champion select wanting to support whereas a player selects Nami and asks to go support. I'd happily give it up and go top which I'm more than willing to fill for until she says "im so lag". Not only is he intentionally playing with lag but going support and doing badly isn't an excuse for feeding due to lag. I don't get how someone can be so selfish as to ruin the game for 4 other people just because someone with lag wants to play. I understand that there's still a possibility and the lag might go away and he'll do extremely well, but the odds are stacked heavily against him.

I think this also leads to the other 'topic' I've had on my mind for a very long time, being a semi-dedicated support player (70% of the time I fill which results in support, 20% of the time I go straight for support and 10% everything else), being a support isn't an excuse to feed, or in other words if you're a support and doing terribly, using your role isn't an excuse for your incompetence. Sure, if you have to die for your team for allies to live that's fine, but regardless who you play you should still strive to keep positive.

And if you do think that supporting is so unimportant that you ask to support specifically so you don't have to do anything, you're an utter piece of shit and you must not know how this game works.

Supporting in normals is super easy, check my history, I am like 90% successful with Nasus with a sightstone. I am a support main, its easy: don't die, don't let your adc die, don't touch minions, poke when you can and ward, maybe CC them if its in your kit. I would rather play Support with lag than any other role. Not to encourage lag play, but its the easiest job in the game.

His point has nothing to do with easiness. It's about how the support role is as important as any role and isn't a role you can excuse yourself to if you're not gonna do shit

Also saying support is easy, just don't die, don't let your team die etc is the same as saying ADC is easy, just CS and position well. You can say that with anything: [role] is easy, just don't die, [insert anything with positive game impact], [insert something about CS], [insert anything to do with securing objectives]

Hello Air,

I'm here to help you today! As a person who lives in Alaska with 100+ ms ping and who is a support main... I can tell you that we try. Not all players who play support or who have lag are going to bad horribly or who intentionally make the game worse for others. Sometimes it happens to the best of us and we play to have fun. I can't predict when my internet will go bonkers during a snow storm and shoot up to 1000 ms but I play anyway, because the game is fun and I have to live with my weather.

For your second point, there are a lot of new players who hit 30 and may not know how to support. You also may want to consider auto fill putting players in the support role - who have never support before. I'm not asking you should coddle them, but consider their side before wanting to go on a rant about them.

I hope this segment helps!

"Hello Air," hello 'Galac'

"I'm here to help you today!" speaking so highly of your own input

The way he said it makes it obvious that he doesn't normally lag otherwise he wouldn't have said it. If you normally lag in every game due to things out of your control you'd either not play LoL at all due to the fact that LoL is basically unplayable with constant lag or would have adapted to it. This guy's been lagging recently and thus I'm not taking the chances. And whats your point about your condition? I don't care about your snow storms good for you that you're playing with lag. You have nothing to do with this guy and your case has nothing to do with my point.

"Consider" their side? It was obvious he was using the support role to 'excuse' their upcoming bad gameplay. The fact that he pointed it out along with going with support says everything. And people who hit level 30 and don't know how to support is irrelevant. I don't care whether he knows how to or not. All I care about is that he was using it as an excuse. What's your point about saying some people don't know how to support? I've been in LoL for 4.5+ years I know some people don't know how to play.

"I hope this segment helps" yeah neither of your points contributed to my point/s at all

I am sorry you're upset at the way I phrase things. My attempt with providing my side and input was to give you the other side of the argument. The attempt was also to trigger discussion.

What's the point if your input has little to no correlation with the thread topic? You have no 'argument' when it's basically unrelated. If you really want to tell people of your struggle go make your own thread

Again I am sorry you feel that way, but if you're going to have a rant thread and some sort of discussion - there needs to be the other side. I see that you want to ignore a possible exigent circumstance on their end and be rude in this thread. That's fine and I wish you luck.

You don't get it. Your case has nothing to do with mine. It's not the other side, it's an irrelevant side.
