Compliments to supports are rare, ten times moreso when it's not the teamfight phase, because people rarely pay a glance at the supports doing their job in lane.

Usually, the support's role is taken as "making sure the ADC doesn't die". Which, if a support fails once, can veer the game towards a loss. And an ADC who doesn't carry isn't worth a thing, so they'll blame it on the one who's "responsible" for carrying the ADC through the laning phase. While it has some logic to it, it omits extremely important things as it's never (or so rarely) only one person's fault if the duo lane fails.

You must have a little bit of luck to not see ADC flamers, but the higher rank you get past low-Silver, the less flamers you'll see as ADCs because they're so toxic their team ends up losing.
