This happens way too often when I'm playing support

2,666 views8 comments33 upvotes

I really need to find a timing to recall, but people keep pinging me to come help or overstay for another turn. The thing is, top, mid, adc, and jungle almost never use more than their own turn, so why should the support have to keep delaying theirs? Sometimes we even lose the vision game because of this and get thrown. But if I just say "not my problem" and go back to base, they start fighting among themselves, the game goes to shit, and then they start blaming me..oddin_n_roong_20

    First off, when you're trying to recall as a support but your teammates keep trying to drag out your tempo, it's usually better to just go along with it unless it's a massive overextend. This is because the risk of overextending as a support is relatively lower compared to other lanes. Of course, if they're asking for help in a completely ridiculous situation, you should spam back pings. I think the mark of a truly great support is knowing how to walk that fine line of whether to rotate or not. But honestly, why do these 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situations happen in the first place? It's because your tempo is out of sync with your team (whether that's your fault or theirs). That's why syncing your recall timing with your teammates is the best way to go. Try to keep a close eye on your team's status and use pings frequently to stay on the same page.

      I usually try to time my recall about a minute before an objective to refill my wards, you know? But there's always that one guy demanding we do this or that, making these ridiculous calls. It's even worse in low elo. All the YouTubers say you shouldn't follow those bad plays, but if I don't go, they start talking mad shit and flaming the hell out of me.

      강력반_킨드레드Don't let that stuff get to you and just do what you need to do. It is what it is.

    But honestly, when I'm playing ADC and I'm just one wave short of a core item, so I ping to stay for one more... it kinda hurts my feelings if the support just recalls alone

      Actually, it's usually the support who feels bad in that situation. If they're spamming back pings, you should just trust your support. It's probably a lane where someone's about to get killed, so backing is the right call.

    honestly just trust your gut if you decide not to go you get flamed and if you force yourself to go and things go south you still get flamed since you're gonna get flamed either way you might as well just do what you want

    it doesn't matter how much a support tries to call the shots you can't carry the game anyway best to just read the room and play along
