Team builder should give x1.5 or x2 ip for playing support

What do you guys think? By this I mean to help speed up wait times, i don't want extra ip because i play support every game. Im just tired of waiting 30 mins for a support

games should give 10x IP for having to carry your carries as a jungler cause they're just that damn bad.

Support isnt even the most needed role for Team Builder.

Ive sat and waited for junglers for 45 minutes before.

I think it is a bad idea because then you would get so much more troll supports/toxic ones.

No. Your benefit for playing supp in TB is instant acceptance and very little wait time. YW.

How about no? The last thing we need is more entitled Support "mains" who think they're God's Gift to League because they choose to play the role of babysitter on bottom lane and constantly bitch about EVERY OTHER PLAYER on the team.

The jungler can't gank? It's not my fault the enemy support has more ward coverage or better ward sweeping.

My carry can't get kills early game or farm? It's not my fault i'm not providing enough lane presence or taking advantage of the early game power spike of a champion like Lucian.

My team loses? Clearly it's not my fault for foregoing buying team based items when i'm a utility role and sometimes initiator in the case of Thresh or Blitzcrank Leona . Gotta have that item 3074 for that sick nasty Leona waveclear i've heard about in whispers in the upper echelons of Ranked.

Seriously. Your only needed reward is the lower queue time a majority of the matches you're paired with. Healers get lower queue times in WoW but you don't see them acting like high and mighty self-entitled twats because i've met more than a few Healers who genuinely enjoy a supportive role in a player group over trying to see how high they can make the pretty numbers go per second.

I don't think we should be rewarding all the support players who think they're the bee's knees just for playing support. I'm a support main, who plays support because it's my best role and all of my favorite champions happen to be supports. I rarely get any flak when I screw up, because at this point with all the YouTube videos talking about how crappy it is to play support, it's like you're put on a shrine for how amazing you are, no matter how much you suck.

Whenever I try to practice adc, I get set up with a supp who feeds the crap out of bot lane, steals waves of cs, and then leaves me to 1v2 while (s)he roams. If I ever dare to go "Hey can you not do this or that", it's immediately followed by "#supportproblems yeah heard that shit before always blames the supp nice one idiot not my fault ur suk".

And of course everybody sides with the support because if you don't you end up feeling like a friggin' racist or something.

If anybody should get an IP boost, it's the jungler. Nobody wants to play that role anymore because everybody QQs about how bad it is, and junglers actually do get flak for no reason right now.

Wouldn't change a thing. People don't like to support. Giving them extra IP isn't going to change that. All you would get is the support LeBlanc/Jinx/Garen that are IP farming...
