  being a support main in every game i play makes me feel like a very important part of the team. this is one of the only games i’ve ever played where ppl HATE their OWN supports…and refuse to help them even a LITTLE. we win it’s. it because of us and we are boosted, we lose and it’s all our fault too. truly tiring.

  the problem right now is that support is the number 1 target in every match while getting all the blame when the spiderman go 2/12 or the Dino who thinks he’s the main character and all heals should go to him 24/7 die

  Getting dove on repeat and screamed at by insta lock terrible dps is just not enjoyable... who would have thought. Also, its boring playing the same few supps every game. we need more heroes to choose from.

  People also expect too much from the Supports because they're so used to healing saving them from everything. I've ran into so many people who genuinely believe they can 1v6 and win if they had one Support healing, then complain when they inevitably die, as if it's my fault they can't kill an entire team on their own.

  Yeah, I&apos;m guilty of this. 9 szns maining support and I&apos;m just done with it.<br>Tired of the same characters, tired of the abuse for maining the role no one wants to play. No one wants to play the &quot;boosted&quot; role, and that&apos;s true. No matter how good and aware I am, according to the Rivals community, I am boosted because I like to play the role and I don&apos;t deserve my rank (which I have steadily improved to EARN!)<br>Tired of everyone saying the role is so easy (then why does no one wanna play it then? Why isn&apos;t everyone top 100 strategists?)<br>Tired of having to fight multiple dive, by myself, in A TEAM GAME. I win my 1v1s, but any more than that, especially a tank and DPS dive, that&apos;s so hard on one person, no one wants to peel and GORR IS AMAZING ANTI-DIVE!! And my other strategist, if I get one, doesn&apos;t know that the other strategist is the top of the heal priority. It&apos;s really exhausting.<br>All the people complaining about strategist, saying it&apos;s too strong, too easy, too stupid, just for the women (those really pmo), are all ones who do not play it, or at least enough to know that it does have plenty of weaknesses, they&apos;re not immortal, they do absolutely take skill and awareness to use. Especially the Gambit that fights and beats dive, it still takes a skilled Gambit to do so.<br>It would be really nice if the community just found characters they liked in each role, and used them to fill. <br>I feel like after 9 szns of being strategist, I&apos;ve earned playing what I want now. And I&apos;m locking the Hood all season! Muahaha!! WEPAAAA!!

  almost every game youre getting dived nonstop, then your teammates while not peeling cry about heals. crazy damage output so you have to healbot alot of times. its just not fun

  i had a game today where i had the most heals, lots of damage and kills and they told me to swap off GAMBIT (i have him on champion… we won every fight i ulted…) and they were telling me to KMS… but when i told them to go support none of them went… my cnd sides with them even though they all had 16 deaths (they were feeding)… you get dove on repeat and all you get in thanks is your team calling you names. whole role is exhausting, bro.

  Need more strategist heroes, I mean like 3 seasons of back to back strategist, and we need reworks to make these strategists who only thrive in a triple support, to make them viable in double support

  Is it really that surprising? The support roster has the smallest amount of options in the entire game. It was stripped down even more by the time the ban phase is done. <br><br>I don&apos;t blame people for just getting bored and moving on. <br><br>Like bro I&apos;m sorry but even if you ban 6 DPS. That roll still has 22 characters to choose from after the ban phase. <br><br>You ban 3-4 supports. And you&apos;ve cut down their options from the double digits to the single digits. And they&apos;re either left with a character they&apos;re bored of playing, or someone who only works in triple support.

  I love playing support. But not for these goobers in this community.<br>I&apos;m not even asking for peel. All I ask is that my tanks and DPS are not pressing W all the way into the enemy spawn when I got a Venom and Spiderman on my D and have to stop healbotting for 10 seconds. And you know damn well you will get triple heal pinged when they die alone all the way in Brazil.
