This. I'm a serial lane-abandoner. If one core is feeding/sucking/etc, chances are there's another one I can support more successfully.
Yes, I'm aware some people believe there's a special place in hell for people like me.

These fake patch notes would have been more convincing if they didn't include several utterly pointless changes.
PA +0.5 str per level, Juggernaut +0.4 str per level, Tusk +1.0 str per level, a paltry 8 non-hero-related changes and 2 spells changed to universal damage.
Nice try though. I remember fake patch notes in which Sniper could climb up trees with a new skill.

Headshot+Stats does that damage

Yeah, when I support generally try to assist the most "with it" player. The one who farms where I ward and doesn't solely farm in jungle because he is bad at last hitting. I don't try to make bad players better, I try to help good players carry us to victory. And sometimes that means that PA doesn't get wards in the enemy jungle when she is trying to farm like an idiot.
|
Yango can't even bring himself to say "dat deeps", has to say "that damage". So literate.
PS: enemy jungle is sometimes the only safe place to farm. However, the reason it's safe is cuz you warded your OWN jungle and u know the baddies are in it lol not cuz you went on a suicide mission to the enemy jungle trying to ward cuz some retard on ur team asks for it.
|
Yeah, he was going for the second option. You see, he sucked at last hitting and luna was already in the friendly jungle, so he decided to go to the only jungle left to him. This was the guy who picked PA into three cores.
But as a support, I decide where it is safe to farm. If the carry doesn't like it, they can buy their own wards and shit. I really don't mind at all.

A lot of times people say that when they play support, all of their teammates suck--but honestly much of that time, you probably have 1-2 teammates that are at least as good as you, but put into situations where they can't carry the game like a bad mid matchup or being underfarmed from 1v3 offlane. Getting even just one kill for those players to get their tempo going can set them up to win the game for you.
Sometimes you do get players that are just awful and you can't help that, but you should do what you can in all the other cases.

When i'm playing support it's not uncommon for me to mind very much when somebody "helps out" by buying my wards and preventing me from placing them in intelligent, strategic locations that work with the other wards I have placed and that won't fall victim to the dewarding pattern of my opponent's that I've worked out.
I mean, there's definitely times when I'm grateful for the help etc but honest to god people who buy my wards and put them right where I got counterwarded 10 seconds ago makes me pretty upset.
PS: even when ur team sucks dick it shouldn't be that hard to support them to victory, although obviously if I managed to do this very much I wouldn't be 4.3K or w/e. I don't think that's really the discussion here.

That's just a lot of people projecting their own shitty play onto their team mates. I have had as more games with fun, reasonable people than not as a support. As long as you communicate and sell your plan to people, you can worth well as a team.
For example, I was playing disruptor with a legion commander in a pub match. I told him we should roam together and get sick glimpse pick offs using duel. It would get me to 6 faster and get him extra damage.
After the third pick off, he bought the smoke and our egninma was split pushing other lanes to make space.
People who complaint that every game they play support is bae just don't communicate the plan and assume their cores will just "know". Because pro players never talk when they play, ever.
Edit: snow, I am in a much deeper tench then you. The players I deal with have a hard time understand that bloodstone isn't a good item on every hero that needs mana. Or that when attack the teir three, diving for kills is bad, kill tower good.

Sniper actually has incredible DPS because, unlike almost any other hero who tries to lay on the deeps, he's able to constantly attack for the entirety of the teamfight. Lifestealer, Alch, AM, Ursa etc. can all be kited. Other ranged heroes have to walk at least a little. Only Sniper has constant pew pew pew.
|
Well yes sniper's range (Including the range on his abilities) is exactly the only reason to pick the hero.

Or when you realize there's more to supporting than placing observer wards and watching your carry hit creeps for the first 10 minutes
