I am B5 Trash, Community Made.

I am a support main, but I have a simple rule. Dont throw your support under the bus when its convenient for you, then get mad when they arent there to help you later.

You Flame your teammates you degrade your teammates you pick them apart over the slightest mistakes constantly remind them how garbage/trash they are if they get outplayed, You will label them a feeder and make sure they never live it down. And even more so, you will go over /all chat and make sure the OTHER team knows just how much of a horrible feeder your garbage teammate is as well "make sure to report our troll, kay? they feed"

Instead of helping teammates, this community would rather get on a high horse and feel some smug sense of superiority by rallying behind the banner of "at least we arent as bad as THIS trash player" I am at the point where Though I am a support, I have no care about supporting my team. Why? Not to troll,but because I KNOW FOR A FACT that the moment it is convenient, support will be abandoned, thrown under the bus and used as some sort of scapegoat when the team needs it. So they can have this sense of "We all played perfect, we lost because of...."

and I can tell them "I am what this community made me. I am B5 Trash. I am Garbage. And I am your teammate" I am Community made, Beaten down to the point where I believe it. But thats not gonna stop me from playing ranked. I am A result of this community. You feel superior by telling your teammates how trash they are? By all means keep telling me. Wont change the outcome when you lose the match.

Want to know what flaming a person over a mistake or a simple bad game does? It creates people like me who eventually just stop giving a #!@%. So please, keep those insults and degrading comments coming. Tell me how complete garbage I am for missing an ult, Or not coming just a little late on an ability.

This isnt trolling, this is me finally reaching the breaking point where I just can no longer care about the outcome. No longer care about the team, because I know that I will have the blame dumped on me regardless of how hard I try. All so someone can pat themselves on the back and say "at least I am not that rotting garbage player"

I am B5 trash, Utter garbage. I am The worst player in ranked. See you in matches. Hope you like the results of the communities handywork.

I was in the same boat. Support main, very good winrate as support. But every game that bot goes poorly, the ADC uses you as a scapegoat.

It's just the nature of the role; If you don't get ADC fed, you're bad. If you die getting ADC fed, you're bad. If you leave to ward jungle, you're bad. It's just too easy to blame support as most non-support mains don't know what the role actually is. Moreover, as some cruel joke, the role of support is paired up with the role most likely to attract angst filled teenage boys who think they are hypercarries.

My advice, start maining top or mid.

Jungle and support are the easiest for teammates to blame, and just aren't worth the grief. Top lane is basically single player.

I feel you, man. I used to main sup (still wouldn't mind if I was autofilled there), but then it got so toxic that I switched my main to top. If you've been playing for 3+ years, you should most likely have enough mechanical skill to play any other role. If you're that sick of people flaming you, just try some new champs. Sure, people might flame you like before, but in the end you'll get some LP and a wider champ pool.

I'm sorry but support is NOT the role that gets thrown under the bus. I've played PLENTY of support on my accounts all around Bronze 4 to Gold 1 and people almost NEVER blame the support unless the support is the CLEAR reason they're losing the game.

The Jungler always gets thrown under the bus. I barely play jungle and almost always the jungler will get all the blame because regardless of what THEY DID people focus on what they DIDNT DO. Only ADC can blame their lane on support, while 3 frickin lanes can blame the jungler.

Just /muteall every game. If someone flames you it DOES NOT give you the right to build Statik Shiv on Soraka and troll the rest of the game (which is seems like you're doing). If you just stop caring and "effectively troll" the whole game because you can't take any blame or refuse to /muteall then you're just as bad as the flamers.

Being shitty was the joke at first; when we found ourselves surrounded by shitty people who believed they were at home, we realized what had happened.

It's been no surprise that support has generally been the least appreciated role, at least in low elo. I personally don't play ranked, but a few advice I'd give (if you still want to play the game as a support) are:

  1. /muteall - this doesn't fix the toxicity problem, but at least you can play your own game without being frustrated by other people flaming

  2. Be the "better" person - be the "bigger man", so to speak. Take comfort in the fact that you know better than to flame back to the person who's flaming you. Know that these people can't get under your skin unless you allow them to. And here's a good one I often do - respond to them with sarcasm and play their flaming out as a game-long joke.

  3. Focus on the positive - I don't mean you have to be positive all the time. I mean, I'm sure there are at least a few games where your team appreciates your support efforts if you play well. I've had quite a lot of games where the adc gives me all the credit for the lane won, or even having the team telling me that I carried the game as a support Tahm Kench. I've also been called trash/garbage a lot, but I tend to just ignore those after a while, and I just remember the positive feedback more :)

  4. Take a break - take a few days break from playing support, or ranked, or even the game. You don't need the toxicity (from internet trolls, no less!) in your life. League is a game. It's supposed to be where you can have fun (while being considerate to others), similar to any other team sports. Don't let the game/other players keep you down.

Good luck out there, whether you choose to continue playing or not. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I empathize with in regards to jerks who play this game. Chat is not needed, so Mute all every game. I've done this for a little while now and can say that my performance has not suffered as a result.

I take issue where you place the blame. This community did not "make you" this community did not force you to not use the mute all option. You choose to continue to listen to jerks when you don't have to.

I disagree big time with this:

"This isnt trolling, this is me finally reaching the breaking point where I just can no longer care about the outcome. No longer care about the team, because I know that I will have the blame dumped on me regardless of how hard I try. All so someone can pat themselves on the back and say "at least I am not that rotting garbage player"

You, not the community, decided no longer to care. You decided not to take measures to improve. You decided not to mute all, and you decided to play this game.

I do not condone the toxic behavior leveled at you in your games for any reason. And I don't condone you taking no accountability in your improvement or lack thereof with this game.

You have a choice.

I'd be interested in your age. I wonder if this is age related? (younger players seem to care what total strangers say about them vs older) or maybe it's not age related but self confidence related. Just curious.

Try and stay positive man, I know it must be hard in such a toxic elo but that's the secret to getting out

Supports have it Easy. You only have your ADC to bitch at you. Try maining JG. You have Top/Mid/ADC bitching at you for ganks constantly. Top:"Our trash jungler refuses to gank". after 5 minutes in the game. I go bot lane get a double Mid bitches at me she was ganked and dies. I help mid Bot bitches about being ganked and flames me for them loosing lane. While the ADC and Support have 0 wards in bot too. Supports have it fucking easy compared to JG. If you even try and farm your jungle for more then a minute someone on your team will bitch about the JG being AFK.

I ended up developing a similar attitude bac when I was a low-silver support main. Only, instead of disengaging with the game I picked a different role to play: Mid lane.

I was bad at mid lane; Now I'm low bronze, but I don't care to main support because of how toxic this community is towards supports.
