Not Supp-ort

    I mean smurfs are a thing but to go through normal skill to get that level 50 xp is crazy. I mean it's rare that u even have a support let alone wards. Just to play through it is one thing but to always be in normal skill. That is a new level of understanding and forgiveness. I will commend anyone who doesn't blame a team mate in normal skill cause it takes patience

      what

      Not Supp-ort

        Normal skill is tough. No supports. No vision . To play in that for every game is crazy and respectable if u don't rage.

          no its not

            u can be that support, u know

            TripleSteal-

              also its not tough considering that the enemy team sucks as well

              Not Supp-ort

                Yes but so does ur team. I don't get how ppl don't get what I am saying but whatever

                  to be honest, in Ns people play more for the joy than for the win. I had a game today where we had no wards, no support and to add something I had the worst possible performance on Drow with like one good moment and everyone was like "oh, thanks Drow, well played" (yea we won in the end, but we surely wouldn't have won if someone flamed)...

                    im pretty sure everybody gets what you mean, but what you're trying to say is pointless

                    there are no wards in either team. there are no sups in either team. its basically 50:50

                    the way you talk it sounds like in normal skill you play with a team of normal skills against a team of 4ks with sups and vision etc

                      Normal skill life me tryna get by

                      Not Supp-ort

                        I'm saying it takes a patience level that higher skill ppl don't have and it deserves commending since most ppl would rage of wards hit. A 3 stack

                        NaturalCauzes

                          Im in Normal skill but im actively trying to get better, but what most "high" skill or "very high" skill understand is that its not so easy supporting in solo queue, if you dont play in a 5 stack you will hardly win games.

                          Sure you can say make a smurf but I dont want to have a smurf account, I want to get to high skill on this account.

                            Even people in normal skill buy that stuf..I know that I played with them..some my friendsd are in NS. Actually normal skill is EXACTLY SAME sh*t as low end VHS..meaning anything under 4k. Even under 5k it´s still low skilled...then you realize the truth. :)

                            PLQ

                              I think supporting in normal skill solo que is pretty easy (I have about 60games on supports with above 60% WR) and coupled with fact that other people rarely meet some1 who gives midlaner tangoes+ward, plants sentris if there's riki/bh etc (even on mid to prevent ganks) and keep wards in shop on cooldown with actually placing them on beneficial spots, they will be so grateful... Also if you do some "luxury" for your carries such as stacks, you will instantly get commended plus it's autowin since you can do well just with boots and urn/mek and your carries get all the farm they can imagine while you guard them from ganks by installing vision etc. and then you thank them for actually carrying the game.

                              I'm pretty terrible supporter with bad habbits when I compare myself to some supports from 4-5k when I spectate those games ) but hey, it's enough for my team to win early game (or at least one lane with maybe one-two ganks on other lines).

                              You just need to pick supports that either have some sort of farm boost (lich and his xp boost or CM with her jungling skills) or are not that level dependent and/or have insane gank potencial (lion, disruptor, venge). Best supports for ns are those that have big ulti, so you stay relevant through whole game.

                                Do you realize that it will take TONS of time? I mean. If you are normal skill it is under 3.2k..high skill under 3.7k..so to be actually in VHS you need to get like 500+ points. Good luck even if you are getting better. And actually for me is better solo because you can play what you want..no friend force you to play another role, no friend doesn´t expect some crazy shit and ALSO your friends will talk A LOT. I prefer simple ping or phrase like get back or so...it helps with your gameplay.

                                  I played my girls account from 1.8k to 3k (then got bored) and there are usually too many supports(they play it because they feel it is easier because they can't last hit). I would usually tell them to not have more than 1 support because they had no idea what they where supposed to actually be doing in the game(they think they are supposed to sit in lane and deny). I would show them my 20+ winstreaks and they would listen to me alot of the time and was shocked when I told him that I can just deny the lane creeps alone.

                                          i'm a >1k player and i get what you mean. I play support from time to time, but get frustrated when my carries don't know how to carry or when to push... And then i end up pushing myself and die. If i don't play support, we have 5 carries in our team, 0 wards, 0 vission. And yeah. The most annoying part. The flaming... If you die once because they dont call missing you're suddenly the noob and start flaming you the entire game because you "fed" the enemy while they're not doing anything better xD

                                                Buy ward for yourself even you playing carry. I usually buy ward to ensure my lane are pretty safe. I dont really give a fck about other lane at least when I dont play support.

                                                                              I'm 4.2 now, but dang, I was stuck in 3.2-3.9 range for a long time though, like 10-11 months, maybe a year, so much tilting.

Im not good with positioning. I can't use my items well so the mek I built just sits in my inventory. Past two or three items I have no idea what to get on a support. I just end up dying a lot and having no impact. instead I play carry, which allows me to farm and have an impact in teamfights. I die less because I can turn and fight my opponent. In the end I feel like im actually contributing to my teams effort to win the game instead of sitting on my highground hoping the other team doesn't dive the tower for a quick kill.

                                                                                      I've had several all support teams before. And there are usually a decent amount of wards. It's also pretty common for someone to complain about someone else buying all the wards.

                                                                                      It is however common for people to not look at the mini-map at all and them blame lack of wards on obvious ganks that anybody else could have seen coming. Warding for people who don't look at the mini-map then put "we need wards" after dying in an area where they had plenty of vision is discouraging to say the least.
