First game with the new force support mode and I my support just CS's and pushes. I can do nothing about this early but flame or leave. I can not really report them for anything if I stay till the end. I chose to leave my first ever game since I started to play in like S2.
I have had bad supports before but at least they were attempting to support.
I will never understand why they won't make picking support as secondary viable.
I'd like to queue as top support instead of top mid, and get support as often as I would get mid.
You can't secondary support because you will get it 9 out of 10 matches, making queues worse cause no one will secondary it.
This is why I play support every single game, which has its consequences when I have very little experience anywhere else.
automatic pick for less wait ... soooo stupid , it destroys the game
I think this is an outlier more than the norm.
They really should have pick order again...as much as I like role selection.
I'm getting tilted just thinking about this
FUCKING CALL THE RIOTERS!! HE LEFT A GAME!
this game lived with that for many years, and mind you, supports back then barely could afford 1 full item too
admit you are just got spoiled rotten
I played 5 games today as fill only.
Got 2 jungle games, 1 top game and 2 support games.
I don't get what the fuss is.
Then again, I queue in flex queue (as solo) purposely. So that might make a difference.
This is heavily debatable but I genuinely believe that people do not play support because support is just not a rewarding role to play. In league an individual player can have a major impact on a game which majorly takes away from the team aspect of the game. Yes teams are necessary to win the game no player is 1v5ing his way to victory but this is not my point. Supports can make impactful plays in regards to the early game and with the team but alone playing a support (on equal stance with the enemy team) just does not feel rewarding to me. I do play support I mainly love thresh because of the CC and hook potential but when I queue up as a support I don't queue up thinking I want to play this role and look forward to enjoying it I think about how I am sacrificing myself so my team can enjoy themselves.
I am sure someone is going to go on a tirade about how I am wrong and supports are majorly impactful core members of the team and are completely necessary then they are going to downvote me because my opinion is somehow less than theirs but hear me out. When playing support (mainly thresh braum bard and blitzcrank keep in mind) I can not function as an alone player all of my abilities are centered on me helping my teammates. All of my teammates to an extent can function as a lone player but a support can not. A support needs someone to help because without that person the support is also helpless.
I don't want to go overboard with this explanation but in short I have played other games where playing support has felt a lot more rewarding but these games were much more team based and put no stress on an individual player besides the ability to function as a group.
The reason people don't want to support is it does not equal the fun experienced when playing one of the different roles in the game. The game puts too much stress on the individual player to perform well to make people want to take that role.
I suggest you start thinking support as equal member of team. There has always been harass supporting which takes kills if they can. And relic shield is really nice item for harass support, as it lets him take last hits once a while while healing himself and adc by doing so. Yes, relic shield works with ranged. IF you cannot ward (only requirement for supporting), you should not be playing ranked anyways or game at all.
just got a game with a lb adc and blitz supp ...premades...top yasuo and me first pick akali mid...should i play it? enemy have jayce poppy voli and ashe...we have 3 premade trollers...if i doge i lose and need to wait if i play ...i lose 20 min or more cause they are premades for what? ...hate this players...
