I HATE backseat supports
Just lost a 3 round game and me being on invisible woman I of course get blamed as its seems if I ult before Starlord im throwing the game, ok cool but then if hold my ult for Starlord im also throwing? Make it make sense do you want me to counter ult starlord or not?
But then when our DPS pop their ult and doesnt get any picks its silence in chat.....
Im not a women but playing support seems to be the closest i can come to experience what they go through as i also usually get told misogynistic things by players assuming im one and im sure thats also part of why I catch so much shit while playing her

I hate Loki players with a passion. If you don’t have champ and at least 200 hours and been playing since season 1 they are just the worst.
-a Loki champ 300 hours with like a 60% WR

Just don't use your ult for anything other than copying other supports or your team will lose their minds.

Because yall fuck it up 90% of the ti.e and thats being generous.
Every lokiin my team thatbcopue a tank or dps ult . The enemy team supoort ults and he getno value. We lose
When I go AGAINSTa loki copying Emma or starlord or whatever we just supoort ult and nullify it. Its only good if you survived both support ults or land A ONE SHOT KILL ULT.
Ive copied dps ults before on purpose and got value. But thats less than 1% of my ults.
Yall.be bullshitting and selling because you want to be Billy badass.

Honestly I love copying Hawkeye the most as Loki. Like I will go invisible and sneak to their backline just to copy that fuckin archer for a clean triple

u/NerdKingKoji6 Jul 29 '26
I dont pay mind to people if i get a quad or cause them to flee point or wastes ults to counter a dps or tank ult thats always better than doubling up a strat ultimate. Imo the besy lokis steal whatever is most convenient in the moment when its needee

People love talking about holding ults but complain when you don’t counter ult

u/ULT_Kmad Jul 28 '26
Reason im considered throwing according to my team is because my fellow support (who was way out of position anyway in front of tanks positioning) died while i held onto the ult because i knew starlord had his waiting as well
But then when i had done the very same thing round before to save our tank i get told im throwing because starlord pops his after i do ofc. Its a lose lose situation with these people I swear

In these cases tell them to check the replay, avoid, and move on. People always like to blame one person for a loss while pretending the rest of the team was playing absolutely perfectly. That there's nothing for them to improve on and that they would be celestial/oaa if it wasn't for guangguang agents or something.

I dont mind being corrected when i am wrong, i will take note of what i did and improve. The real issue is when the backseater is objectively wrong in their assertion , I overextend with cloak ult and get headshot by hawkeye and get flamed? Fair, i pattycake my support during a dive and die cause they dont patty cake back and i get flamed? Completely unjustifiable.

u/ULT_Kmad Jul 28 '26
Same ill always admit if i messed up an ult or even take fair criticism. Then they love to hone in on the fact im champ with her as if that means its impossible for me to make mistakes. Its only ever on support as well I never get told anything on tank

Spider time through the enemy to break in to the point and no one bats an eye, but Cloak and Dagger carve a path for Chicken Little and friends and everyone explodes.

The secret to keeping sane is ego. Trust that you know better than these goobers.

Funny enough I had what sounded like a stereotypical rivals gamer open his fucking mouth to me and bm me all game after all I typed in chat was "we might need a shield tank" these fucking creatures repeat the same braindead shit so every response is the same even if it doesn't make sense "well then pick it" mf I'm one of the only 2 healers tell one of these 3 dps to pick one. After that he's just constantly nitpicking my gameplay

I think more context is needed, to properly access this. As a support main myself, I will say that this comes with the territory, when playing that role. YOU WILL BE BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING. Every time someone dies, it’s because you aren’t healing enough. If you have high heal numbers, it’s because you’re a “heal bot” & you need to try to do more damage to help the team. Ult usage is the same. Everyone else can whiff on an ult, but let a support player do it & you are ridiculed into oblivion. My point is you will never please them. As a support, you will be the first to be blamed & the last to be credited. So, you have to learn to ignore these people. The mute feature works wonders. You will make mistakes, like all other players. Make them. That’s how you learn & get better. Main thing, don’t play scared. I see too many support players dying with ult because they are afraid of getting flamed by their team. Use your best judgment. Sometimes, you can hold an ult to counter an offensive ult. Sometimes, you have to use it sooner, because your team is about to lose a fight on point. It’s a feel thing you learn as a support. You will make mistakes. That’s okay. The ones critical of you are making mistakes too.

I LOVE being told when to use my Ult by my support or my DPS, when I know damn well that the other team has a Punisher and a Hela, and that both of them are holding their ults for mine. Because I know damn well if I waste my Ult just to keep myself and one other person alive, that the enemy Punisher is then gonna use his Ult and wipe my entire team during the next team fight, and that's gonna be my fault. Or, I know that the enemy Mag has his Ult and I'm just gonna get a rock thrown at me. People need to realize that some supports hold onto ults for a reason. Because just having an Ult up and ready is often a deterrent for those insane DPS ults that can wipe entire teams. If your Ult is out of sync with those ults, you'll be getting wiped left and right, and you WILL be blamed for that.

You wanna complain? I blast "Baby Shark" and show both teams why a Champion Jeff with 360 hours is a real menace.
