5 Things that Support Players Hate

Every one of us has had a bad experience of being a support player in an online multiplayer strategy game. Whether you are a part of the guild, clan or a team, there is always that one thing that you hated about being the support player. In this post, we will list some instances that really tick support players off. You can read on and see if any of your guild mates have ever done that to you in 5-Empires.

Running out of the Healing Range

One of the main responsibilities of support players is to cast healing spells for heroes and major players leading the attack. What is frustrating is that when you are casting spells or activating an item that will heal those players, they run out or leave the area. Most healing spells don’t work from a distance, so stay in range when your support player is doing you a favor by restoring your health.

Save Players and they still Choose to Die

You may have heard the phrase ‘live to fight another day’; well, support players hate leaders that cannot grasp the concept of this phrase. Sometimes a battle proves to be too much, and a support player will give the lead player time and space to make a run for it. It is really infuriating when they don’t recognize the gesture and dive back into the fight, eventually getting the whole team killed.

Exploration or Attack

Players who cannot distinguish between an exploration party and an attack party shouldn’t be play online strategy games. So, you are out and about exploring new settlements and land and they decide to pick a fight with the first monster they meet; that’s just plain stupid.

What is Cast or Attack Delay?

In most multiplayer games, there is a simple concept of attack or spell cast delay. Meaning you have to wait a while after attacking or casting a spell, essentially a global cooldown. Players who cannot grasp this concept keep asking support players to keep attacking and casting spells in the delay period. Let’s just say that it doesn’t go over well among support players when lead players do that.
