Lemme share my auto-fill support experience with yall real quick.

ADC constantly over extended, and got combo'd by the Ali, id'e shield as much as the damage as i could, or Poly the guy before the combo went off whenever i could. But, With current damage, the Ali would still do about 50% of the ADC's HP and that's without his ignite. Then it'd be even more. Obviously this would be when poly is on CD, so i couldn't prevent the damage all together.

ADC would ask me "don't you have a shield?". Id'e respond with "yes, i used it on you, but it's not going to fully stop the amount of damage that stupid champ does". Would get a sarcastic "weeew" or a condescending "alrighty whatever you say".

Whenever there was "downtime" in the lane, aka, wave isn't pushed to us yet, and the enemy laners aren't there, id'e go place wards, and clear enemy wards. ADC would say "why aren't you in the lane, and roaming?". Id'e tell him i was placing/clearing wards till a wave got to us since he wasn't in any danger as there wasn't enemy laners there. The response would be "Useless, or ???????", or more condescending comments.

I then proceeded to almost do the same amount of damage as him, also got an S-, for shielding, and ulting the non snowflake team mates, and them getting triples and shit. We won, and basically did it without this asshole of an ADC. I get a better grade, more participation etc.

So even though i was doing everything i could, and then some, and doing what supports should do, which is place and clear vision when you can when your ADC isn't in any danger, and there is no wave pushed to you yet to get exp, i was still apparently not doing something right in this ADC's mind. Shielding as much dmg as i could from his mistakes, placing wards, and clearing wards so their jungle couldn't gank us a single time, which, they never could because my vision denied them of it every single attempt. Still wasn't good enough for this self righteous self absorbed asshole.

Id'e seriously like to tip my hat, and say, thank you, to all you supports out there, who deal with ADC's like this on a regular basis. Mine was just an auto-fill match, and man... Not fun at all. Id'e rather dodge the next time than put up with that shit again. You guys are the real MVP's. Id'e bake you all a cookie if i could.

ADC's are asshats...

I know how my fellow ADCs behave and I despise them for that. When I see that my support is doing his best, I try to compliment them as often as possible. There is a reason why I immediately bought the "WP <3" emote when it was available.

Supports are the ones that carry us through the lane. Without supports we'd be nothing most of the time. Without supports we would have to do double the work. Supports check the river for you, supports help you see a gank as early as possible, supports help you secure a kill, supports help you out of risky situations. Good ones even secure farm for you. I never heard someone appreciate THAT though.

Even if your support cannot save you, how can you possibly be mad at them? There is so much more for a support to do. Vision, peeling, helping other teammates to initiate fights. I'd die twice as much if I knew that our fed jungler or mid lane will survive and destroy the enemy team completely because the supp shielded/buffed/made an opening for them.

Why the hell are so many of us THAT egoistic as if the ADC is the most and only important role in this game?

Here we go again. These posts were gone for a while but it seems they're weekly again.

Supports aren't special, aren't the only ones being flamed, can be garbage and adcs aren't some kinda inherently toxic class.

I've been flamed to hell and back by supports for being 10 cs behind. I've had supports be complete dickheads in general and I've had supports that carried the shit outta me. JUST. LIKE. ANY. OTHER. LANE/ROLE.

every role gets flamed and flames. I really don't see why supports need special treatment.

Psssstttt..

Let me, as a support main, teach you; just tell the adc to blame the jungler instead.

Idk, I've been playing with some uber toxic supports lately who pass off getting hit by thresh hooks as my fault.

One thing to learn as a support is that it really doesn't matter what your ADC thinks of you. You do your job by helping the team and that's that.

Mute all every game.

In most cases before we leave base game I type the following.

"Nothing personal but I mute all every game. Need me? Ping me."

Not every adcs are jerks. Got autofilled, my adc asked me am i autofilled or not, i said yes i do, but i have lvl6 thresh, he said “okay then”. He turned out to be autofilled adc aswell while they had an adc main mf and rakan( my adc picked xayah). My adc wasn’t really good, but instead of flame him, i tried to adapt to his general mistakes and use them, for example, i see xayah’s bad positioning, so rakan mostly will make an engade, so i can hook mf before that happens to turn this into our favor, and this is worked, mf outfarmed her a bit early , then i started to punish them hard for their aggro and we won the lane, i accidentally took most of he early kills and apologised to my adc for that, and instead of flaming me he said “you deserves them more than i do”, not a phrase you can hear from typical adcs too often, right? p.s. we won that game because xayah went well through laning phase and she started to shred enemies later

Good supports don't get insulted nearly as much. It was wrong for him to insult you, but a good grade doesn't mean you played better than him. You really should recognize when you're autofilled that you're going to play worse than a support main, and that it does affect the ADC.

When I have to support, I play Lux, Bard and Zyra. I do not care what my adc says, what he is and what he wants. He is the environment.

I like your post, but you keep typing Id'e when you mean I'd; So my inner grammar nazi demands I mention it to you.

Good post though.

I've had this experience before of course, but I (a support main) don't feel comfortable placing blame on the ADC so much, really. I'm a bad player as much as he is, or we wouldn't have been matched, lol

jocomotion11/1/2018, 1:36:14 PM2 votes

Thanks, but not all ADC’s are jerks. In fact most are pretty cool. Like 25% are chill, 50% are just regular people 20% are passive aggressive but not really toxic, and 5% are asshats.

Grudumpf10/31/2018, 12:25:43 PM2 votes

Well yesterday I began to play mid after months of support. You convinced me to come back bot. That's something !

General Matty11/7/2018, 2:03:14 PM1 votes

I stopped maining support due to this.

Lord Poison10/31/2018, 4:38:19 PM1 votes

I main support, the only real way to deal with it is to just keep doing your job, and mute anyone who's toxic to you. I can't count how many times my adc spams the question mark ping and asking 'whyy no heal me???' even though I told him I have no mana. So, the only real way of dealing with it is to ignore it and carry on, because at the end of the day, you'll probably forget about that jerk the next day and play with someone amazing. :-)

I play bot ADC a lot and as i see it, the supports are the ones calling the shots, a marksman trying to beef with ali outright without the ability to avoid his combo is nothing except stupid.

A lesson i learnt pretty quickly playing Ashe x)

Even later the marksman needs the support to do well so it really is quite vital to show some appreciation and tolerance towards them, a marksman treating the support poorly for no real reason is nothing but a clown, especially if things go south due to the marksmans own poor choices.

But bad supports do happen too, like a janna that constantly stays a distance behind you no seemingly no apparent reason or oppositely, a support that constantly engages at terrible times and flames you hard as hell when you dont have any means to follow up.

Like seriously, what am i supposed to do to save a brand who tries to harass/combo a thresh w aftershock only to end up caught while thresh gets a insane defensive steroid? I wont kill that Thresh unless he is already very low and chances are instead i´ll be the one to die right after him even if i succeed.

Moral of the story?

Bad players can appear anywhere, in any role at any time.

thanks i need this encouragement to survive the waves of hell known as ranked [sg-soraka]

Telephone Booth10/31/2018, 10:40:10 PM1 votes

Any role can be toxic. I dont see a difference really. Theres asshats everywhere. I play a little of everything, except jungle, cuz they get blamed for everything lol. I think since its the only dual lane, people see a lot more toxicity there just because of the teamwork required. If youre top lane, you flame jungle when you lose lane, mid flames jungle, jungle flames losing lanes in general, and supports and adcs flame eachother

OrnPlugWalk10/31/2018, 10:51:43 PM1 votes

Im a support main and this is too relatable. Half of the time the ADC walks into 5 people and blames me for not helping them. If you ever carry the ADC you wont get a thanks or anything, just maybe an honour at the end of the game (WHICH MEANS NOTHING) and I hate those people who think support is just a no skill role and it isnt special because support is freaking hard.

As an ADC main myself, i love support mains i hate autofilled supports (had enough of the ivern supports, yasuo supports, you know the usual...)

I don’t play support and adc so I know what it feels to be a bad and support. Holy hell its really not easy sometime to support people like that. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

ankoanko1911/1/2018, 3:19:58 AM1 votes

Its always supports being whiteknighted though. A Morgana being 0/12/4 isnt seen nearly as bad as a 0/7/6 Xerath. Very often when a support feeds someone else says " dude he/she is supp " like the person is genuienly autistic or smth

Faneseeker11/1/2018, 4:50:33 PM1 votes

It's quite true. I stopped supporting when I ended my ranking season. Other than personal gain in ranked I see no reason to put up with the trouble and harassment as a support. It seems to take a special selfless sense to play a good supp, and that is not for everyone, I think it's fair for riot to sweeten the deal for players actually has the mental uptitude to be a good supp. Some carrot won't hurt.
