me "dude let me play mid man wth"
mid laner - "spek no ingles"
the struggles man the struggles.
[quote=pinoymystic]its all a matter of building, using the right runes and masteries, as well as using the skill combos correctly.
also, karma support is freaking annoying as frick with her annoying poke. dang.[/quote]
Karma is a terrible support. Yeah, she's good in the laning phase with her empowered Q poke but outside in teamfights she's so bad.
1. She doesn't really have a ult
2. Her snare is one of the worst, you have to be in close range and wait within like 2 seconds within range
3. Her shield and movement speed boost lasts for all of 2 seconds
For a short period of time Karma was played frequently, but people slowly realized she's a bad support compared to other available supports.
If you want to kite, you might aswell pick Nami instead with better utility.

People who think supports are useless should play another game
[quote=Coourh]Usually, all the people playing supports are bad players (like all the people defending supports ITT). Crappy people all end up playing support as it's relatively easier compared to the other roles and they get less blame for their mistakes. So you can't really justify supports are bad when horrible people are playing them.
Gee, what did you expect?[/quote]
you forgot to say kappa at the end.

Easier to play is arguable, but the difference between a trash a support and a support that is slightly not trash (e.g: actually wards) changes games extremely easily. Granted, screw supporting/being supported by someone you're not in a call/voip with.
Cant have a good game as adc without a good support.
Usually when I play adc, I respond to the supports plays
Yeah supports are so useless.
When I'm stuck with last pick I usually just take a second adc or bruiser because let's face it... damage wins games.

maybe cause you in bronze
Doing something more for the team? Their purpose is to help one of the strongest damage dealers on the team get through the laning phase and peel for them later on. In some cases, supports can even initiate teamfights (Zyra ult, Annie ult, Thresh/Blitz hook, Braum mustache, etc.)
If you think that way then you're probably not that good in league.
Supports are so important, I main ADC, they dictate how the lane phase will go. They determine if its an aggro lane or a farm lane because they have all the initiate in the lane.
its usually adcs getting carried by their supports lol
Supports are really good.
I think i'm a pretty good adc but I've had plenty of supports carry me or carry the enemy adc.
Yeah you're probably low elo.
You seem like one of those bronze noobs who think that support is useless lol

AD Leona op
Challenger here.
I main support.
y u hatin homie
@gamer255: So... he has a 1.5second stun, a lanturn that provides a shield as well as save your team, an AOE knock-back, and a crippling slow is all useless?
Thresh is one of the best peelers in the meta... He can also be played aggressively against certain comps. He is anything but useless lol.

Late game hook + Ult = winning team fight
[quote=usuklolxp]Useless? Name one support that has no use lmao. Even zilean (not a 1st tier support champion) can turn the tide of a teamfight by saving a carry using his ult and help team mates get away faster with his speed boost.[/quote]

Not all supports in Dota 2 are nukers either, though.
