supp rant...

Flash My Hóók·11/30/2018, 9:01:31 PM·1 votes·1,216 views

I just wanted to vent a bit and maybe get some insight on how i could have played this better before i play anymore games... The situation was us coming back to lane after getting a double kill. I see our jg making his way to us and pinging, i know there isn't a ward in river and there probably is one in their tri, we were purple, so i place my control in their tri. Their zyra comes up to kill it and my adc and i kill her with a taunt flash, i'm shen, but zyra manages to kill the ward and leave hers up. at this point of the game we are only lvl 6 and i still don't have wards other than my trinket so our vision is gone and they still have theirs. JG still comes so we push turret because he is pinging to dive. mid roams and kills him by the brush near gromps, i ult him to help but he dies before ult finishes, all this as we get minions to turret. at this point i don't know where their jg is, and i don't know if the supp is back yet, short death timers since it is early game, and we also know mid is still bot w/ the adc. So, i back off and ping mf to back away too and walk to my turret. MF keeps pushing and dies from the adc/mid. I was flamed for 3 things during this. 1. not ulting irelia during our fight w/ zyra, apparently she died during it. 2. not having wards up for our jg. 3. leaving adc.

please tell me what i could've done better.

could've back pinged the jungle, but if the immobile ADC is going to completely ignore a mid laner that just killed jg like 15 paces away, that's her own fault.

https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2921564638/37113578?tab=overview I'm assuming this is the match you're referring to, and the fight was between the 8-10 minute marks.

You're going to get blamed for a lot of things as a support. Unfortunately, that's how it is. The only thing I think you could have done was spam ping enemy ward in the bush and back off ping your jungler who wants to dive. If they go through with it, it's their fault they died. Spam ping your ward timer too, I do it often when i don't have any wards. There is no reason you should have ulted Irelia when you were engaged in another fight, you may have needed it for what you were doing. I'm assuming you were low health after the failed dive which prompted you to return back to turret. MF not listening to your pings to back off was her own fault. She knew you weren't there to back her up and stayed anyway.

Spam pinging may have help make your intentions more clear, but you can't control other people's actions. They were looking to blame someone and unfortunately that was you. Don't get too discouraged.

Ping your ult and trinket CD.

Type in chat to tell mf to back because of what you know.
