The life of a Supp

There's a difference between making calls as a support and making them as a core.

If I'm playing a Jakiro and suggest to my farmed Faceless Void that we go gank their midlander then it's a suggestion - if Void doesn't want to, we don't go - I'm sure as fuck not trying it solo.

If a farmed core calls a gank then they're probably going to try it anyway, regardless of whether I, the support, approve of the idea or not. At that point I can basically abandon my core to let them try it solo, or ride and die with them hoping it works.

I have noticed this getting better as my MMR improves because smokes become a required gank tool, and you generally control them as support, giving you more of a vote in proceedings.
