Players not picking appropriate characters in Draft....particularly support....

GrenadesAndHamm··1 votes·1,714 views

This happens way to often. Someone gets support, doesn't like it and picks an ADC and goes to town. I'm curious as to why, specifically for the Support role, there isn't a list of champions that can be played. If you're in a support role and you pick something thats obviously not support, you've done your team a great disservice. Why even play draft?

Who says marksmen can't be played in support? Oh .. it's not META.

Riot doesn't have any rules saying which champ can be played in whatever position. You can play an enchanted in top lane and a marksmen in support if you wished.

Off-META is not a punishable offense.

Mostly because the meta isn't set in stone. If you want a support to play your preferred champion and play it the way you like, your best bet is to duo.

Its like this in everylane, people play off "meta" all the time, Ill say this much, I would rather a auto filled player play a champion there good with even if its off "meta" than 1st time a champion that is "meta"

The meta is actually whack right now. There are some who aren't even taking a marksman into the bottom position.

Anyone can play any champion in any position they want.

And you two are exactly why people like me stop playing this game.

It's not bottomx2....it's bottom and support.

People ruin other peoples game, and their team chances, when they don't play the game the way it was intended.

Clearly, the intent was for the second bot laner to be support.

Although, I'm sure both of you get upset when people travel in your lane and steal your cs. Because that's the type of players you are.

And you can support in different ways. The ultimate cc is death after all. Would you still have the problem if they had gotten a support item? For that matter, you could have gotten one to help with gold gen too. Only junglers got blocked from getting it (assuming they have jg item).

Fun fact, I don't actually get all that upset. If it was for a gank/roam, then take some. If I am bot, go ahead if we are hard pushing for a back. Hell, I encourage my support to help clear if it gets bad.

Don't try to blame me/us because you can't adapt to enjoy the game. Have been in the double bot situation before, didn't get upset though. Turned it into a challenge to try and get better at last hitting.

Yeah, because going 0/14 and taking summoner 6 as a replacement for boots on Ashe doesn't ruin the game for anyone. That's clearly "how the game is intended to be played."

Or was that also the support's fault?

You don't know what you are talking about, you don't know the intentions, and it's not the fault of the supports you feed in over 3/4ths of your games. Don't strike at others in this thread because you have no room to do so.

Yep, I play with randoms. That's exactly my point. People who dont support when they're supposed to, steal all the cs, do nothing to actually help bot or leave the lane entirely.

You're the type of punk that purposely last shots to steal. Good for you...everyone hates playing with you. Congratulations.

Were you around when Miss Fortune support was meta?

Wrong you're the type of people who don't understand the game. You're simple minded towards the meta of League of Legends, and refuse to "adapt" to the new roles.

Just because I play a marksmen in the support position doesn't mean I have to CS.

Last season I played Pantheon support when I was autofilled. Was it good? No. Did I manage to win games with it? Yes, and more than you'd think. I've seen Keegun do it in challenger and people usually didn't complain.

Better let people play what they want. Most players you meet want to win, and even if you dislike their picks, you're probably better off letting them play a champ they know than first time Bard support.

People can play whatever they want.
